Mercury retrograde begins in the air signs and returns to the earth signs

Mercury retrograde begins on September 9 and ends on October 2 with visits to two signs, partnership-fueled Libra and wellness warrior Virgo.

The focus will be on balancing relationships and vitality. You may have to pause certain things to pick them up again.

Don’t be discouraged by these forced delays. When Mercury turns retrograde, it blesses us with time to reconsider, revise, renew (and all the other words that mean something new).

What are the autumn retrograde dates?

Mercury retrograde begins in Libra on September 9th. It moves into Virgo on September 23rd. Its full retrograde course ends on October 2 when the messenger planet corrects its course and passes Virgo.

This is effectively the third of four retrogrades in 2022. The final retrograde, in Capricorn, begins on December 29 and lasts until January 18, 2023.

For Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Mercury retrograde reinforces the rules around social interactions and the messages we want to get across to others.

When Mercury retrogrades through the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), check budgets and schedules—and make corrections with a red pen. You know.

Mercury retrograde in Libra: September 9 to 23

Relationships could take a hit as Mercury spins retrograde through Libra from September 9-23, forcing us to rethink our communication styles. The cliché advice says: “Just be yourself!” but, what does this actually mean? That as important as it is to bring authenticity to your relationships through actions, it’s just as important to pay attention to the impact of your words and body language.

So how about accepting the opportunity to become better at receiving other people’s messages? Adjust your tone and volume according to each conversation. Are you talking to a quiet, shy guy? Enter the conversation slowly and move calmly. Are you in a room full of extroverts? Experiment with boosting your excitement levels.

Since Libra is all about legal issues, check contracts to make sure everything is correct.

Mercury retrograde in Virgo: September 23 to October 2

The devil is in the tiny details, and as Mercury retrograde moves into Virgo you’ve been making sure to check everything. Clear communication is always key to Mercury retrograde.

Focus on wellness and self-care. Think of ideas to reduce stress. Change your diet to reduce inflammation and improve gut health, a key component of strong immunity – all the more important since Virgo rules digestion.

When does Mercury retrograde end?

Things start to clear up on October 2nd. As Mercury moves through reason-restoring Virgo, until October 10 logic will rule.

Opportunity for simplification. Throw processed junk food out of the fridge. Make your schedule and do your best to get some extra rest. Adjust your budget and have any money conversations you’ve been putting off.

Beware of “retroshade” from October 2 to 17

Have you ever wondered why Mercury is still retrograde after retrograde? Each retrograde has a shadow period, the so-called “retroshade”, which remains until Mercury returns to the same zodiacal sign where it began its turn, in this case Libra. Although this Mercury retrograde ends on October 2nd, it’s best to wait until October 17th to sort out the details of anything that went wrong during this period.
