Is Mercury Retrograde Always a Damaging Thing? Mercury in Leo Forecasts for Every MOON Sign

By Graham Flynn


Everybody is aware of Mercury Retrograde, and quite a mythology has been manufactured up over it. Once Mercury goes retrograde, phones, computers, and some thing technical is supposed to go haywire, and communication is supposedly riddled with misunderstandings, and you happen to be advised not to sign any contracts.

From the Vedic astrology factor of view, Mercury just isn't a trickster, and doesn't affect everybody the exact same way, at the exact same time. Mercury's final results are stronger as soon as retrograde, since it is orbiting among the Sun as well as the Earth and is, therefore, closer to Earth.

The reason why it appears that elements go wrong during this time for some folks (not everyone), is since Mercury is showing the flaws from the systems we've been relying on, and is giving us a chance to go back and fix it, rethink our positions, or slow down, be more grounded, and be additional adaptable to our environment.

Why Would Mercury Do This?

Because Mercury is in the Earth element, inside Vedic system, not the air element because it is in the Western tradition, and the Earth element is concerned with facts and doing dreams, ideas, and plans tangible. Mercury may be the globe of manifestation, and stands out as the very good manager between the planets. Mercury is required to trigger concrete realization, and is therefore crucial in all activities.

When Mercury is strong within your birth chart, you're naturally much more organized and very detail-oriented, and additional aware of what is required to create make an idea jobs during the real world. Mercury is exalted inside the sign of Virgo, as it is an Earth element sign. Mercury can be strong in other signs too, but it depends on its household placement in the chart.

In my last corporate incarnation, I worked with two those who have Mercury powerful in their birth charts, my former boss and also a an additional co-worker. My former co-worker has Mercury in her ascendant (the very first house), which as you know by now, is basically the Self (Mercury is in his joy in that position), and my former boss has the Sun and Mercury inside the sign of Gemini (the other sign ruled by Mercury) and an additional planet inside the sign of Virgo.

Both of them were the "eagle eyes" from the business and they proofed my work. I am not that detail-oriented and as Graphic Designer, I would get preoccupied by the arrangement from the points on the article and also the concept with the piece I was working on. I relied on them, and their powerful Mercuries, to discover my mistakes although I didn't appreciate it (in a future article, I will tell you how Mercury individuals can drive you crazy). Their eagle eyes helped me to polish the piece for publication.

Now that I work for myself, I drive myself nuts simply because I am nevertheless NOT naturally organized or detailed-oriented, and my office is organized just ample that I can do my work, but I know it can be way a lot more efficient than it is.

Eventually, I'll hire someone to aid me with what appears like millions of data involved in running a business. Exactly the type of individual who sometimes annoyed me once I worked inside a corporate setting.

A powerful Mercury individual will appreciate managing the day-to-day info of company and is going to be really organized naturally (what I employed to think was 'anal'). I am going to pay this person really well to do this, so long as they're cheerful, and not gleeful, as soon as pointing out my mistakes!

How Does This Affect You?

Mercury is retrograde for practically the following three weeks, and stays within the sign of Leo until September 10th, and this will, or will not, affect you depending on a sign that your natal Moon is in (natal ways the sign the Moon is within your birth chart).

Transit forecasts in Vedic astrology (called Gocara) are regarded from your natal Moon, not from the natal Sun sign as they're done in western astrology. The Moon is employed because it represents how we think about everything in our lives, and may be the part of us that adapts to our environment.

When Mercury is retrograde and inside a favorable position from the natal Moon sign, the great results with the Moon's adaptation and receptivity are magnified, since Mercury is closer on the Earth then.
