September 9-October 2 in Libra & Virgo
Ugh. The third Mercury retrograde of 2022 is a complete drag. I’m predicting the worst time for folks with natal solar/Mercury in Most cancers, Capricorn, Gemini or Sag. Libra power, when it’s in a helpful place, supplies an air of sophistication and sensuality to the planet or individual it’s working with. Nonetheless, the dangerous aspect of Libra power is its capability to make folks chilly, aloof and unresponsive.
Don’t let this retrograde interval maintain you again from talking up for your self, but in addition keep away from gossip and whining when you possibly can. Mercury retrograde in Virgo might tempt you to select on different folks when you can’t deal with your feelings maturely, and that’s by no means an excellent look.
