This article is the third and last part of the series regarding Mercury Retrograde in 2022. You can visit the first article if you wish to know more about the general meaning of what Mercury Retrograde represents here.
The traditional advice with Mercury retrograde is “Don’t travel. Don’t sign contracts. Don’t marry. Don’t touch electrics!” This is mainly because the energy of Mercury is directed inwards for introspection rather than outside for our daily routine. However, this is a great time to revisit, review, resume, and resolve anything that will arise during this period or we have currently “on the table” in front of us.
Mercury goes retrograde in Libra and then Virgo from September 9th through October 2nd. Mercury is retrograde in Libra (ruled by Venus, the planet of relationships) from Sept. 9-23 and then in Virgo (ruled by communicator Mercury itself) from Sept. 23rd to Oct. 2nd.
During the times that Mercury is retrograde, people often notice more challenges with correspondence, our communication as we interact with others. It can also show up in our relationship to our neighborhood, our siblings and challenges with cars, transportation or electric equipment. This is marking the third and last Mercurial backspin of the year and we want to be as conscious as possible especially given that this retrograde takes place in Virgo also, one of the zodiac signs ruled by Mercury itself.
Because this retrograde begins in Libra, the air sign associated with harmony, friendship and romance, you can expect this experience to create some major misunderstandings in your relationships forcing you to go through the mud of your relationship trauma and come out of it stronger and more prepared to embrace a deeper love. It can also nudge you to tie up loose ends related to relationships, money, or values. Later during its cycle, when entering Virgo domain, it will provide you with the incredibly healing opportunity of a new beginning. Virgo is a zodiac sign that loves a practical plan, which will give you concrete tools for navigating relationship problems. It can also compel you to tackle everyday to-dos, daily routines or rituals that you’ve put on the back burner and rethink how you’re caring for your health and being of service to others and yourself.
The most intense and challenging period will be for all cardinal and mutable signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn as well as for Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius marking this a time when major life events will take place which will radically reshape their life. Hold the intention for what you wish to create while remaining flexible enough to flow with unexpected changes. You may need to process some disillusioning experiences, but you will ultimately be able to reorient toward greater clarity once this transit ends.
Below are the domains of life where each zodiac sign will be triggered by this Mercury Retrograde transit to review and reconsider (look for your Sun, Ascendant, and Moon Signs):
Aries: relationships, couple, association, marriage & health, work, colleagues, daily schedule;
