Okay. All those “re” words work best at times like these – review, rethink, rework, revisit, reduce (not really). Mercury, the communications planet, appearing to go backwards in the sky, from 8/20 to 9/12, is not necessarily an event of horrific proportions. It can be dealt with.
The possibility of communication snafus are intensified this time because Mercury is in one of the signs it rules, Virgo (the other is Gemini). When going direct, all the Virgo/Mercury traits are pumped – analyze, write, speak, teach, work, service. With the sluggishness of a Retrograde, energy may be blunted and slips of the tongue or pen, Freudian or otherwise, can occur. Project initiation/creation would be best delayed if possible – if not, be meticulous, be careful. (Jump all over the details.)
(Next Mercury Retrograde will be 12/10/10 in Capricorn.)
