Mercury retrograde is traditionally associated with communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays and lost items. But interestingly during this particular Mercury Retrograde we have some some beneficial aspects to both loving Venus and lucky Jupiter, which should smooth over the normally difficult and annoying Mercury Retrograde period.
Adding to our already interesting August/September 2016 period we have a solar eclipse on 1st September with Sun, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter all being in the sign of Virgo! This solar eclipse will open new doors for us but we must ensure to take things slowly as Mercury in Retrograde will add to the confusion of how to proceed on our new pathways.
