Starting officially August 2 – August 26. Unofficially through September 10th.

Most people cringe when you mention the phrase “Mercury Retrograde”. It is folkloric, popular astrology at its worst. It is important to understand that Mercury Retrograde is a natural part of the cycles of life. Besides the Moon, it is the fastest moving planet. It just goes, goes, goes.

Mercury in your Birth Chart represents your Mental Operating System. It shows how you think and communicate and what your motivation is for communicating. It also rules your day to day movements and methods of being. Are you a person who likes order and routine or do you thrive on a measure of chaos? Mercury in your chart will answer these questions. During the retrograde period, Mercury will be in Virgo and Leo.

Mercury in Leo says: “I think and communicate to express my individuality in unique and special ways. I like my immediate, day to day environment to be focused on me and to allow me to maintain my independence. I think that I am the boss of me!”

Mercury in Virgo says: “I think and communicate to maintain order and organization in my environment. I speak and write to be efficient and useful. I like for my day to be organized and orderly in order to help me make the best use of my time. I think I know the best and most efficient way to do things.”

But this one describes me more:

In 10th, conjunct Sun, sextile Uranus and square Neptune. Oh, yes-trine Moon as well

mercury conjunct sun generally gives a self centered approach to thinking and communicating similar to mercury in leo. depending on the orb, it can make it difficult to see other people's point of view or to be objective even if in an air sign.
