This year's final Mercury Retrograde will occur from October 4-25. While it's true that Mercury Retrograde cycles can really wreak havoc on daily communications, technology/internet connections, and travel plans to name just a few things, this is a transit that has the potential to serve us well if we can tap into our inner reserves of patience to review the issues that are coming to the forefront. Review is the key purpose of any retrograde cycle, and since Mercury is the planet of the mind, events will highlight the need for review and careful thought processes in any and all matters involving communication in our daily lives.
This particular Mercury Rx cycle begins in the sign of Scorpio, which is known for its probing emotional depth and intensity. As an archetype, Scorpio craves depth interactions that lead to security on the emotional and soul level, while working to bring any shadow issues to the light that are in need of release and healing. With the planet of the mind and communications here from September 27 to the beginning of Mercury's retrograde period, we're likely to find ourselves engaged in dialogue about profound and honest feelings, secrets/taboo issues, and the more mysterious aspects of life. Whatever may surface at this time in relation to our own shadow issues, if it does, will be up for addressing when Mercury moves back from its short stay in Scorpio and into Libra on October 10. Expect issues of balance to be prevalent in relation to how we communicate our deepest feelings/fears, passions and desires, and to have an opportunity to do important work in relation to how we balance these emotions within ourselves. This may also signal a time of addressing those issues within partnerships. We'll get much more of a chance to delve even deeper into the darker aspects of life and our own consciousness when Mercury moves back into Scorpio on November 8. With the pair of eclipses coming up - both during this retrograde cycle and highlighting themes of empowerment and self-assertion/balance in relation to others - we can be sure that issues up for review in key areas of life for each of us will play a pivotal role in the weeks, months, and even years ahead.
