It’s That Time of Year Again…!!

 

Yes, life truly is a roller coaster of transitions — ups and down, highs and lows, yin and yang, joy and sadness, sunshine and rain, and the list goes on…

As the last rose of summer begins her winter journey, and the leaves start to fall from the trees, we too are now beginning our own winter hibernation, determined by the increasingly cooler climate. Our clothing colours are also in sync with the beautiful autumnal scenery — burnt orange, burgundy and olive green hues have replaced the bright white, turquoise, hot pink, and cheery summer yellows.

We’re piling up the logs in the shed for cosy winter fires. Mr. squirrel is busy getting himself organized too. Yes, in this current industrious season of Virgo, we’re all busy, either back at school, booking night classes, re-organizing our closets and homes for the winter and getting ready for Christmas — you know the drill — which brings me to the next topic, the subject of this blog — Mercury Retrograde!!

This is the third and last Mercury retrograde of the year and shall run its course starting today, September 17th until October 9th. This current one is in the air sign of Libra, which is the High Priestess of Communications! Since Mercury rules commerce, computers, telephones, transportation, and air travel and Libra rules charming communications, I’m getting the feeling this MR is one where we will all have to zip the lip, including Donald Trump — especially Mr. T or he is going to live to regret his loose lips! I’ll have to text the Donald and remind him that ‘Loose Lips Sink Ships!’ He would not want that to happen in his current Presidential campaign, which by the end of this 3 week MR reign, I fear may happen…!!

It’s a good year for Virgos, as can be seen by the stellar performance of Carly Fiorina on the debate last night. Hmm…she is one to watch!! I know I digress but it’s a lucky year for Virgo Carly — remember I said to Virgos ‘Play Big this year‘. I think she listened!

Expect communications to be a little haywire to say the least! Watch your words as verbal aggression may be a side effect of the current Mercury Retrograde in Libra. Relationships will face a ‘make it or break it’ time. Apply due diligence to all your communications, double check the small print, smile before you dial,  and you will be fine! Ride the storm, or be like me and ‘go within’ until Mercury goes direct again on October 9th. It’s a good time for daily mindfulness, yoga, a spiritual retreat, or finishing unfinished projects in preparation for a brand new start!

Also, keep an eye on your investments as Libra is ruled by Venus, which covers money investments and transactions, and this MR is in Libra, so investments may suffer…This too shall pass!

Hope the above helps!

Hugs,
