Mercury Retrograde In Libra: Reconsidering & Reflecting On Fairness [1]
The planet Mercury started its retrograde phase on September 17th and it will last until October 9th. This is an astrological phenomena that occurs roughly every four months for over a three week period.
From an Earth based perspective, it looks as if Mercury is going backwards, but this is not the case. It only appears that way due to the relationship between both Earth’s and Mercury’s orbit around the Sun. Accordingly, astrologers observe it differently than when it appears to be forward moving.
How Does Mercury Affect Us?
Mercury rules over communication as well as communication technology. It also rules the intellect, transportation, learning, news, and information. It rules over the analytical mind as well as how we mind the details of life which require thinking.
