Mercury Retrograde

The Planetary outlook

Mercury Retrograde


Mercury is heading closer to the earth and becoming brighter in the night sky as he is preparing to go retrograde. On August 12th, 2017 Mercury stations and goes retrograde at 11 degrees of Virgo. This is almost the exact same degrees as the last two Solar Eclipses in the Virgo/Pisces axis. Mercury is within a degree of the North Node position on the Solar Eclipse of September 1, 2016 and is opposing the degree of Neptune in Pisces.

With Mercury making an aspect to the North Node position of the September 1, 2016 Solar Eclipse he is reactivating that planetary energy. What was happening in your life at that time? You should be prepared for any issues from that time to resurface and demand your attention. The devil is in the details as Mercury rules Virgo and is all about analysis, accuracy, and information. With Mercury in opposition to Neptune there tends to be misinformation, muddled thoughts, and people hearing what they want to hear.


As usual we can expect disruptions in daily travel, communications, and avoid making agreements during this period if possible. These issues will be more prominent this time around because Mercury (communication, travel, and information) is in Virgo opposite Neptune (chaos, falsity, and intrigue) in Pisces. Both planets are in their own sign, making their impact stronger. Make sure to have extra time to reach any destination and clarify information to avoid confusion.

On August 26, 2017, Retrograde Mercury will conjunct with the Sun in the sign of Virgo at 3 degrees. This is a good time to communicate or ask favors from those in a position of power, take short trips, and/or present ideas if it is connected positively to your natal chart. People from your past may re-enter your life such as friends, lovers, or co-workers.

If you have personal planets from 1 to 5 degrees of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and or Capricorn the Sun conjunct Mercury pertains to you.

Jupiter in Libra is also making an exact sextile aspect to Saturn in Sagittarius on this day at 21 degrees. This indicates significant opportunities through higher education, legal affairs, and/or from someone in a position of power.

On August 30, 2017 Mercury will re-enter the sign of Leo and will make the 1st of 2 conjunctions with Mars. When these two planets come together we can expect to see lively debates, impulsive decisions, and sarcasm. 

The 1st conjunction is occurring at 28 degrees of Leo on September 3, 2017 at 2:38 AM MDT which is the degree of the Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017.  The Sun will be at 11 degrees of Virgo which is the same degree that Mercury was at when he turned retrograde and in the sign that he rules. It is as if the Sun and Mercury are handing off information to one another. The Sun will be approaching an opposition to Neptune indicating confusion, illusion, and drama. Mercury will be applying to a trine aspect with Uranus in Aries which is ruled by Mars. I expect that there will be information that comes to light like a lightening bolt at this time. However, with the strong link to Neptune it may be false, distorted, or a half-truth.

The 2nd conjunction will occur September 16, 2017 at 12:02 PM

MDT at 7 degrees of Virgo and Mercury will be direct and at home. Around this time I would expect clarification and a correction to the information that comes out around the 3rd of September. Mercury in Virgo is about all about clear and concise communication.
