Date: August 31, 2023 August is serving up two full moons this year! This one is a Blue Moon because it's the second full moon in a single calendar month. But why the color blue, if the Moon doesn't really change color? It's believed the word comes from an old Middle English word, belewe, which actually means betray. In other words, because this extra Full Moon didn't fit into the normal lunar cycle, people used to call it the Betrayer Moon. Over the years, the word belewe evolved into blue -- hence, the Blue Moon.

Yet it is in this loneliness that the deepest activities begin.

Meditate, contemplate, pray, chant and rest. There are many ways to experience the descent into the unconscious successfully, and the more attentive you become of this inner need, the greater balance and immune health an individual will attain.

Capricorn is the businessman of the zodiac, with its sights set on efficiency and success. While Mercury spends time here, we are inspired to think and act in ways that will help us reach our goals. Capricorn's influence clears up our thoughts, helping us hone in on the most important and fruitful ideas. We're also able to be more direct in our communication during this transit, cutting down on misunderstandings and wasted time. One of the biggest benefits we experience during Mercury in Capricorn is the building of ideas. The many thoughts that run through our minds are easier to organize, and we can see them like puzzle pieces, arranging them until they fit together in the way that makes the most sense. Once we can see our ideas as a solid form, we are able to take action and turn them into reality. While we tend to be straightforward during this transit, we must beware of the tone we take when interacting with others. Capricorn is acutely aware of hierarchies, which means that conversation may become more controlling than constructive. We all think our ideas are the best ideas during Mercury in Capricorn, but if we spend too much time worrying about who's in charge, we won't end up getting much done.

Every Mercury Retrograde is a time when misunderstandings and mishaps are common. Because Mercury appears to be moving backward in the sky, things associated with Mercury -- conversations, negotiations, technology, travel -- tend to go haywire. When Mercury retrogrades through Capricorn specifically, it targets the areas of life Capricorn rules: our careers, ambitions, and public status. You may experience setbacks in work, clash with authority, or suffer a blow to your image. But there's always something good you can take from Mercury Retrograde, too! A retrograde in Capricorn is a great time to look back on your professional life and assess where changes are needed. If you aren't happy with the direction you're headed, this is the time to revisit plans or paths you experimented with in the past to see if they make more sense.

If you were born while Mercury was in Capricorn, you are blessed with a strong work ethic and a reliable reputation. Your calm and collected style of interacting makes others feel they can trust you and depend on you. When you say you'll do something, you do it. You have high standards for yourself. While you're working toward one goal, you're already planning your next. But while you like the view from the top, don't let it go to your head -- if you speak down to others or come across as too direct and controlling, you could end up all alone up there. Though some may see you as pessimistic, you see yourself as efficient. If something doesn't have a purpose, then you have no use for it in your life. It's as simple as that! By regularly eliminating thoughts, people, and situations that don't do you any good, you are able to focus on what's left: the things that will help you the most and take you the furthest. One of the best lessons you can learn with your Mercury in Capricorn is that you don't have all the answers ... at least not as much as you think you do. There is value in others' opinions and knowledge, and a benefit to seeing all the shades of grey between black and white. If you keep your mind closed to any thoughts or ideas that aren't your own, you'll limit your amazing potential.

First dates during Mercury Retrograde are never a good idea because it's not easy to communicate, and there are too many opportunities for things to go wrong. If your car doesn't break down on the way to the date, your movie will be sold out or you might make a joke that's taken as an insult. If you have a crush, wait to pursue it until Mercury goes direct. This will also help you avoid landing a creep, because people aren't what they seem during mercury retrograde.

5 Love Tips for Mercury Retrograde 2023

1. Put your dating life on hold for now

Realize that misunderstandings are easier now, so don't jump to conclusions and pick a fight if your sweetie says the wrong thing. And if you do fight, and if you do actually break up during this time, don't be surprised if you get right back together once Mercury goes direct. Things that happen during MRx often don't stick -- whether they're good or bad.

Mercury Retrograde is a great time to go back and fix mistakes or reconcile with people if you've had a falling out. This is because MRx forces us to reflect on things we've done, which helps release built-up resentments. If you've got the urge to make nice with someone during this time -- and that applies to both friends and lovers -- go ahead and bury the hatchet!

Sure, being more cautious with important communications and double-checking critical details makes sense, but while suspending work three times a year sounds like a good vacation plan, it's an impractical way to live. There are also other astrologically-challenging patterns, difficult aspects, and planetary placements that are considered unfavorable according to traditional beliefs. If we decide to barricade ourselves in our homes every time one of these is in effect, we'd spend much of our lives behind closed doors. It's old age, fear-based thinking like this that reduces Astrology's value in our lives, yet its higher purpose is to help us understand the cosmic environment so we can use it effectively rather than fearfully. Every moment and every experience has value and meaning. Instead of running or hiding from Mercury Retrograde, it's helpful to recognize that the planet is revisiting recently transited territory. Reveal the second chance that could be coming YOUR way during MRx

Instead of interpreting this as a negative step backward, we can view it as a time of second chances. The conversations we had and the connections we made or missed can be reviewed from another point of view, providing opportunities to clean up mistakes and make more valuable use of recent events. Because even though Mercury is moving backward, life continues to move forward. Denying the potential of this or any other period of time is surrendering the power of your consciousness to over-simplified and negative interpretations that might not be entirely false, but which are far from being entirely true.

Mercury Retrograde happens about three or four times each year, for a period of about three to four weeks at a time. Mercury slows down to the point that it appears to be moving backward, but it's really an optical illusion. The communication planet does still have forward momentum, it just isn't moving at its usual speedy pace. Planet Mercury rules communication, travel, and technology, so all of these things are often disrupted during Mercury Retrograde. Yes, things can get a bit chaotic, but there's also a lot of good that can come out of this time. This can be a time of reflection, reconsideration, and retreat. Just like the planet Mercury, we're being asked to slow down so we can revisit our beliefs, our thought patterns, and how we want to move forward in our lives In 2023, every Mercury Retrograde period take place while Mercury occupies an Earth sign -- Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo. Earth signs are rooted in reality and focused on practical matters. Because Mercury Retrograde is a time of reflection, this emphasis on productive Earth means we could come out of the retrograde period with more solid plans than we had when we originally entered it.

It won't be until Mercury reaches the degree where it originally turned retrograde and then passes it that you'll know Mercury truly has its full strength back. That tends to take a couple of weeks. But don't stress -- this time frame, called the shadow period, is nothing at all like Mercury Retrograde itself. In fact, now you'll be ready to apply whatever it is you've learned during the retrograde period into your current reality. It only takes a few days of Mercury being back on track for you to notice the difference. From here on out the planet will get stronger every day! What's interesting is that while Mercury will need time to regulate its orbit, the very day of its stationing direct can be a potent time. It's like Merc will be jolted awake for a short time remember Mom screaming at you to wake up or you'll be late for school? During this day or even the next, it's likely you'll experience incredible clarity about whatever issues you've been grappling with during Mercury Retrograde. Be patient, though ... it will take just a little more time before you're ready to execute your newfound lucidity with success. Even so, once Mercury is direct, you're free to sign contracts, schedule vital meetings, have significant conversations, and make important decisions or purchases. Remain confident as you push ahead with anything that requires cerebral muscle. Mercury finally has its mojo back!

When the planet of speech and the sign of one-on-one relationships get together, our communication with others comes into focus. This isn't just love relationships we're talking about -- it's also about our family, friends, and coworkers, too. If we've had any fights, or if we've been holding on to a long-term grudge, this is a good time to finally put them to rest. Diplomacy takes center stage when Mercury is in Libra! Libra is represented by the Scales of justice in Astrology, so it makes sense that we'll be more objective during this time, attempting to approach every situation in a fair-minded and balanced way. Think of this transit as a gentle reminder from the universe on the importance of considering others' perspectives and embracing the beauty of compromise. One challenge of this transit is the tendency to be a little too nice. Don't sugar-coat things or withhold information just to avoid rocking the boat, as kindness could end up being a barrier to real communication. We need to realize there are many ways to connect with someone, and agreement is only one of them. Expressing opposing beliefs with respect and openness is a terrific way to strengthen any partnership.

It might feel like your love life has gone haywire when the planet that rules communication, perception, and thought retrogrades through relationship-oriented Libra. Mercury Retrograde in this sign can feel a bit like a not-so-welcome blast from the past because this energy likes to stir up drama, causing old relationship issues to reappear. If we've had any resentments in the love department, this is the time when they could come spilling out. This is an especially tough since it might feel like we aren't even speaking the same language as the people we're normally in sync with. Miscommunication can easily happen, and our patience may wear thin. It's best to take a deep breath and try to decipher what others are really trying to say during this Mercury Retrograde.

Both Sagittarius and the Temperance card are constantly striving for a more enlightened state of being. The angel in the Tarot card here demonstrates this by slowly pouring the liquid from one golden cup into another -- a process called tempering a slow process of integration that leads to the perfect middle state. Similarly, Sagittarius accomplishes this by exploring the far reaches of both the physical and philosophical world to expand on or temper what is already known. As a Fire sign, Sagittarius is passionate and drawn to new ideas, philosophies, and travel. Sagittarius is represented by the Centaur -- a creature that is half human, half horse -- often carrying a bow. Also referred to as The Archer, Sagittarius uses a trusty bow and arrow to dream big and aim high. The only way to bring this optimistic sign down is by limiting their freedom.

The Angel's beautiful, red wings represent blood or life, while the triangle on her dress means spirit -- also the elemental symbol for fire. And, similar to adventurous Sagittarius, the angel's feet are also symbolic of the eternal pilgrimage or spiritual journey. By showing one foot in the water and the other on the shore we are reminded that our greatest wisdom lies in the art of balancing. And lastly, the iris flowers are indicative of the Goddess Iris who provides the link between God and humanity. Like Sagittarius, she travels from one end of the world to another -- building upon something that is bigger and brighter than herself.

Go big or go home! The Sun in Sagittarius invites you to think big, travel far, and be open to everything that's offered to you. Learn how you can make the most of this transit here: Read. Sagittarius is a student of life, and highly prizes education -- both street smarts and book smarts. Adopt Sagittarius' love of learning and expand your mind with a brand-new topic you've always wanted to explore. Yes! As an opportunist and a risk-taker, Sagittarius is always up for anything at a moment's notice. Accept all invitations, even if they seem a little daunting -- if you never try, you'll never know... Someplace different. Sagittarius gets the biggest thrill from going places they've never been before. This transit is the time to finally book that ticket to a city you've always wanted to visit, or at the very least go to a restaurant where you've never eaten before. Tennis shoes. The Archer is always on the go, so you may find that you set out to do one thing, then end up somewhere you never expected! Easy, comfortable clothes let you go wherever the wind takes you, and help ensure that nothing is holding you back. A plane ticket. Sagittarius is the ruler of faraway places, so the very best way to embrace this energy is to go somewhere far away to sample exotic sights, scents, and flavors. If you can't get away, stocking up on a few travel books or visiting a foreign restaurant can help you expand your world from the comfort of your own hometown. Lying. Sagittarius is known as the sign of big truth and big lies. Because this sign is ruled by huge, expansive Jupiter, it's hard not to exaggerate a little -- or a lot -- under the Sagittarius Sun. Expanding your mind! Take advantage of the Sun in Sagittarius' outgoing and enthusiastic approach to life and use this time to learn new things, meet new people, and attract and spread positive energy. Everyone loves a Sagittarius, and this transit is your chance to experience their optimistic and enthusiastic lifestyle for yourself!

Born under the Sagittarius Sun, you've never been one to hide in the shadows. You are known for your optimism and your fun, upbeat nature. Never satisfied with the bare minimum, everything you do is big -- from the way you think to the way you talk, interact, and carry yourself every day. You have grand visions, and you intend to live up to them. Life is nothing short of an adventure for you. You realize the infinite experiences this world holds, so you don't tend to stay in one place long -- you'd rather be moving about, taking in everything you possibly can. You're a glass-half-full kind of person. Even when things take a downward turn, your faith and focus on the future help you move beyond the troubles of the present moment to realize the great potential you hold. Just like everything else in your life, love should be an adventure! Relationships are just another realm of life for you to learn and explore. You may often be attracted to people who come from cultures or backgrounds different from your own because they can teach you so much more about the world. Still, you are an independent soul who likes to fly by the seat of their pants, so serious relationships can sometimes tie you down. In order to maintain your happiness and freedom, you must be with someone who understands your need for independence. The moment a lover tries to tame your wild heart will probably be their last. You are a visionary and a planner. You're full of big, wild ideas, and the gusto to go after them. Because you're more of a spontaneous spirit, any 9-5 gig will probably drain the life out of you. If you must carry out a professional role, at least make sure it includes a heavy dose of business travel, or else you may grow very weary very fast. You value education above all else, so it makes perfect sense that you would become a teacher, or even a lifelong student. Your optimistic sign is also associated with faith and philosophy, so you could excel at a job in life coaching, motivational speaking, or religious studies. Fun and free, you are the life of any party, and it makes others happy just to be around you! You've never had a shortage of friends, and probably have them scattered all over the world. But because you are so independent and always on the move, it can sometimes be tough for you to create deep, long-lasting friendships. Learning new things together or engaging in serious philosophical conversations can help you establish stronger bonds. Lucky you -- Sagittarius is the most fortunate of all the signs! You naturally attract luck toward you, and find it much easier to bounce back from unfortunate experiences than others do.

We'll all get straight to the point when mental Mercury is in assertive Aries! Aries waits for no one, so this transit is a time when our minds may grow a little or a lot more restless and impatient. We won't stand still or replay the tape in our minds over and over again -- we'll want to charge ahead and move on to the next thing. Mercury in Aries is also great for opening the lines of communication and giving us the encouragement we need to say exactly what we think and feel. Since Aries is the sign of me, we'll have the confidence to speak our minds. However, our desire to say exactly what we're thinking could become a problem when cooperation, compromise, and sensitivity are required. Our thoughts and speech may become more courageous and innovative when Mercury and Aries get together. Flashes of insight make it easier for us to think of fresh solutions to problems that have been hanging over our heads for too long. Don't second-guess yourself -- your first thoughts are often your best ones during this transit. Catch this inspiration as fast as you can, because the Aries influence means these bursts of brilliance will disappear just as quickly as they appeared.

Our plan to spring into action might hit a few hurdles when mischievous Mercury retrogrades through Aries! Because Aries is all about fast talk and impulsive action, Mercury Retrograde in Aries could land us in hot water when talking with others. This retrograde period isn't just a time of small miscommunications -- it can be filled with full-on communication breakdowns. We'll all be in such a hurry to say what we want to say that we won't take the time to express ourselves clearly enough so that others understand us. Hasty and unfiltered speech comes a little too easily when Mercury does a backwards dance through this sign. Words may seemingly tumble out of our mouths, so we need to think twice before speaking once when this planet goes retrograde in Aries. If we're not careful, we could find ourselves involved in an argument we didn't want to have or making a rash decision we'll later regret.

You are not one to mince your words! A strong and direct communication style is a tell-tale sign for those of you born with your Mercury in Aries. Your mouth fires as rapidly as your mind -- you simply don't have the time or energy to beat around the bush. This can rub some people the wrong way, but others will appreciate that you'll always be straightforward with them. If anyone needs a decision to be made, you're the person they call, Aries. While other people may get caught up in an endless cycle of mulling over every possibility, you focus on the bigger picture. To you, getting hung up on trivial details only slows you down on the trail you're blazing. Because your Mercury is in Aries, you're a pioneer, someone who is often coming up with new ideas and innovative ways of thinking about things. If your perspective is met with resistance, you have an animated communication style that often encourages people to adopt your point of view. Procrastination? You don't know the meaning of that word! You embody a full steam ahead mentality, quickly plowing through anything you're working on. A take-charge attitude and ability to inspire others with your words is why you may eventually land a leadership role of some kind.

Mercury's transit through practical Taurus is a time when common sense rules. Taurus is a sign that is very connected to the material world, so there's an extra emphasis on what's real during Mercury in Taurus. This isn't a time for flights of fancy -- it's about focusing on the things that are going to bring us the most tangible results. Instead of coming up with creative new ways of thinking and doing things, we should stick to what we know works now. Mercury generally excels at flexibility, but Taurus is arguably the least flexible of all the zodiac signs. So while Mercury travels through Taurus, we may find ourselves digging in and taking rigid positions when opposed by different ideas, concepts, or facts. It's imperative that we don't lose our ability to stay open-minded so we can overcome this stubborn resistance to whatever is new or different. Taurus is a very focused sign that doesn't get sidetracked easily. During this transit, we have a heightened ability to solidify plans, garner support, and make major forward progress. Our interactions with others are calm and purposeful, keeping drama and distraction to a minimum so we can keep our eyes on our most important goals.

Because Taurus rules money and the material world, Mercury's retrograde through Taurus could bring about mishaps or miscommunications around your finances and other assets. If you're trying to make more money, asking for a raise during Mercury Retrograde is not advised. It would also be unwise to open any new credit cards, make major purchases, or sign contracts while Mercury retrogrades through Taurus. But it's not all bad news! Mercury Retrograde in Taurus is a great time to rethink and rework your finances: revisit money-making ideas from the past, and get all your ducks in a row with your current financial situation so that when Mercury turns direct, you're ready to start making the changes you've been planning.

Being born with Mercury in Taurus gives you a solid way of thinking and interacting that makes you especially practical and reliable. You aren't one to jump to conclusions -- or jump to anything for that matter. You like to take your time and get all your thoughts in order before sharing them with others or taking action on your ideas. You have a calm and deliberate manner when you communicate. You get straight to the point and convey your thoughts with intention, making it easy for others to understand what you're saying -- clear and productive conversations are your specialty! While some may see you as stubborn, you see yourself as strong-minded and confident in your values and perspectives. Being honest and real is important to you. Your mind and body feel closely connected to nature and the world around you, and you're very attuned to your five senses. One thing you need to watch out for is being or coming across as close-minded. While you like to focus on practical ideas, this can limit the way you think and see the world. Taurus is known to be a stubborn sign, so you may dig in your heels when someone brings up an idea that's totally different from yours. Stick to your convictions when it's necessary, but open your mind every once in a while to a new and different perspective, too -- it's the only way to grow.

If it feels like you're being pulled into a dozen different directions, or that you're a little more distracted than usual, there's a good chance that Mercury is in Gemini! The combination of Mercury and Gemini means we will probably be thinking in tangents, never able to follow through with a single thought for too long. Imagine a bee buzzing around inside a jar -- that's what our minds are like during this transit. Mercury and Gemini are both into facts and data. Open subjects like philosophy, the meaning of life, and other big picture concerns become less important to us when Mercury moves into this sign. Because of this, talk may come more easily for all of us, even though the truth could be hard to find. If you were hoping Mercury in Gemini might give you the ideas needed to write that original novel or to come up with the next big innovation, don't set your hopes too high. Followthrough is not Mercury in Gemini's strong suit. It's more likely that one idea will float into another which will float into another -- best to keep a voice recorder on hand and revisit these flashes of brilliance later!

When Mercury goes retrograde in one of the signs it rules -- chatty, social Gemini -- the usual Mercury Retrograde mishaps can become even more of a nuisance than they normally are! Anything involving writing, speaking, teaching, or learning could get especially dicey when these two team up. It's a good idea to double, even triple check our work when Mercury retrogrades in Gemini. Since Mercury and Gemini are connected to siblings and community, we'll want to watch out for misunderstandings with a brother or sister or neighbor. Mercury and Gemini are also associated with transportation and short distance travel -- experiencing frustrations in these areas of our lives is also likely during Mercury Retrograde. Roadwork or car trouble? Yep, just another fun side effect of this planetary event. Yes, Mercury Retrograde can put a crimp in our plans, and it makes having a simple conversation more difficult than it should be, but this could also be a period of necessary re-evaluation. With our minds being forced to slow down, this is the perfect time to take another look at specific areas of our lives that we've been overlooking.

Logic, logic, and more logic! That pretty much sums up how you approach most things. Unlike some other signs in the zodiac, using your intuition or emotions to make a decision doesn't appeal to you. While this cool approach sometimes frustrates those who don't understand how you can remain so detached, it's also what makes you as adaptable and open-minded as you are. Do you dominate at your local pub's trivia night, or does everyone recommend that you go on Jeopardy? You can thank your Mercury in Gemini for that! Your curious and inquisitive nature means you're constantly on the quest for new tidbits of information. You may never dive deep enough to become an expert in any of these areas, but that's just because you're interested in so many things that you can't imagine settling for just one. You definitely have a way with words! You are an engaging and interesting speaker, and your knack for language means you always know exactly what to say. And, in typical Gemini fashion, you know how to turn up your charm and use your gift of gab to flirt up a storm.

The mind and the heart grow closer while Mercury travels through Cancer. We think about things on a deeper level during this transit, and have a greater ability to process and express our feelings. Mercury in Cancer gives us a chance to communicate with a softer touch, become more intimate, and share ourselves more personally with others. Cancer the Crab is focused on all the things that make us feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When the planet of communication is in this sign, it's easier to connect lovingly with others. We want our family, friends, and loved ones to KNOW they're loved, and we find it easy to express the most caring and protective sides of ourselves when Mercury is in Cancer. During Mercury's transit through Cancer, we should open our minds to the messages we receive from our intuition. As a Water sign, Cancer has a very acute intuition. Mercury's dance through Cancer doesn't erase Mercury's usual logic, but expands it to include instincts and gut feelings -- information that cannot be put into words. This time gives us a heightened ability to draw necessary insights from sources you don't always have access to. It has been said that the biggest communication problem we humans have is that we do not listen to understand, we listen to reply. But that's not the case with Mercury in Cancer. During this transit, we care enough to stop talking and start listening. Even silence can be full of meaning now. Mercury in Cancer is a reminder that real listening is done with the heart, as well as with the ears.

Because Cancer rules all things connected to home and family, these are the exact areas that could experience mishaps while Mercury retrogrades through this sign. Miscommunication with family members or tension between relatives is common during Mercury Retrograde in Cancer. It could, however, be a great time to reconnect with a family member you haven't talked with in a long time. Buying or selling a house or starting a big home renovation project are also not advised during Mercury Retrograde in Cancer. Problems like missing contracts, delayed plans, and miscommunicated information can plague the process!

Because you were born with the planet of logic in the sign of feeling, you process the world through a softer lens than others do. Your emotions are part of everything you do, and you tend to make decisions, judgments, and plans based on feeling alone. You can see the real world around you just like everyone else does, but you also take in and process sensitive, instinctual vibrations that others cannot. Because your intuition is so strong, you can understand others' wants, needs, and concerns, even when they don't say them out loud. You like to express love, and express it often. You have a gentle way with your words, making others feel comforted and happy in your presence. However, you sometimes keep important information to yourself in order to protect the feelings of others. Realize, though, that not everyone is as sensitive as you are, and that sometimes stating the truth must be top-priority, no matter what feelings it may stir. Bonding with others over deep conversation is easy for you. While you may be cautious at first, you warm up quickly when you sense that someone is trustworthy and caring enough to divulge your feelings to. Surface level chit-chat doesn't really do it for you, though -- your strongest bonds are created when you share your personal ideas, fears, vulnerabilities, and joys with another kind soul.

Fire sign Leo is all about direct communication, so we won't hold back when Mercury and Leo team up! If something has been on our mind but we've been too intimidated to say it, this is the time when we'll finally have the guts to speak up. Just be careful, because Mercury is speedy and Leo is expressive, so words can come flying out of our mouths a little too well. Mercury in Leo gives us a license to thrill. Leo is one of the most entertaining and high-impact zodiac signs, so we can expect a lot of jokes and laughter during this transit. An added benefit? Leo is social, meaning there will be plenty of lighthearted and witty banter to go around. Think of the confident Lion, mane blowing in the wind, strutting his stuff... This is our time to shine! We'll all adopt some of that self-assured swagger, making it easier to get up in front of a crowd and put ourselves out there. If we've been putting off any speaking engagements, Mercury in Leo would be the perfect time to finally go through with it. Our creative juices could start flowing when Mercury is in Leo. This is an opportunity to channel all of Leo's passion and enthusiasm into an artistic pursuit of some kind. We might find ourselves picking up those paintbrushes and dusting off our cameras so we can get out there and create, create, create.

Mercury Retrograde is quite a production on its own, but when it's in theatrical Leo, you can expect it to really put on a show! While Mercury retrogrades in this bold and brash sign, it inspires us to express ourselves with a new sense of urgency ... and drama. We need to watch out for an over-the-top style of communication during this Mercury Retrograde. This may also be a time when we take our ideas and promote them as though they are the ultimate answer to life itself. We could become more strong-willed than usual, attempting to push our beliefs onto other people. This kind of overbearing approach might ruffle a few feathers, and we'd be wise to temper our impression of how important we are in the context of the world around us.

Face it, you have a flair for drama! You love to be in the spotlight, incorporating emphatic gestures and a touch of exaggeration that ensures your audience is thoroughly entertained. You infuse your fun and fervor when speaking and writing, which gives you a reputation for being a great storyteller. You are headstrong, standing firmly behind your opinions. Your confidence and excitement when articulating your thoughts can be very persuasive -- or they can come across as pushy. Your pride could get bruised when you realize that others don't share your viewpoint, or worse, view you as a know-it-all. You never mean any harm, and only want to share what you're passionate about with everyone around you. You radiate a warmth and charisma that draws people toward you. This gives you an advantage professionally because people often view you as a natural-born leader. It's also one of the reasons you have the ability to make friends so easily. Not one for details, you prefer to focus on the bigger picture and even bigger ideas. Leo likes a little sizzle, and you don't find getting down to the nitty gritty as exciting as the broader perspective. You can't be the creative visionary you want to be when you're bogged down with what you consider to be trivial matters.

Mercury's move into Virgo begins a period when our minds are sharp, our speech becomes precise, and we're able to communicate with others more efficiently. We aren't interested in sugar-coating our words under this transit -- we want to cut through the clutter and get straight to the point. Virgo is highly skilled at taking in tons of information and stripping out everything that's not necessary. So while Mercury moves through Virgo, our power to analyze information becomes much stronger, which helps us communicate our thoughts in the clearest way possible. Productivity is one of the biggest benefits of Mercury in Virgo. While it's not the most fun transit, our opportunities to make real progress are huge. Instead of getting stuck in a trap of dead-end ideas or in conversations that seem to go in circles, we are intently focused on details and useful information, making this a time of great forward movement. One thing we must be beware of during this transit is becoming hyper-critical. Discernment is a good thing, but during Mercury in Virgo we can be so focused on finding faults that we insult others or become frustrated by our own flaws. Refining the way we speak to others and conveying our opinions with tact is key with Mercury in this discriminating sign.

Because Mercury rules Virgo, a retrograde through this sign can feel especially disruptive. Virgo rules everything having to do with your day-to-day life, including your work, health, and routine. When Mercury retrogrades through Virgo, you could experience delays and missed deadlines on the job, or struggle with communication in your professional partnerships. Health issues may also pop up during this retrograde -- especially issues you've had in the past that you thought had healed. Because Mercury and Virgo are both associated with information, you can also expect plenty of misunderstandings with appointments and contracts during this retrograde, and feel a general lack of clarity in your life. But you can turn this Mercury Retrograde into something positive, too! Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is a great time to revisit projects that you left behind. Getting back into an exercise routine or reviving an old idea at work could set you up for real success once the retrograde ends! Want to know if YOUR Mercury is in Virgo?

People born with Mercury in Virgo have very sharp minds that can easily comprehend complex patterns, processes, and problems. Your mind is your greatest asset, and you tend to look at the world more realistically than most. It's not that you don't have dreams, it's that your dreams are practical, attainable, and full of intention. There are no frills to the way you think or communicate your ideas. You don't like to waste time, and you know that the clearer and more decisive you can be, the easier it is to keep your progress moving forward. Those born with Mercury in Virgo can struggle with perfectionism. You find flaws easily and believe in constant improvement, but your drive for absolute perfection can be utterly exhausting to yourself and everyone around you. Because you're so to-the-point, your critiques often come across as criticism and can ruffle the feathers of more sensitive types. The more you embrace forgiveness -- of yourself and others -- the less stress you'll feel in your relationships. On the surface you probably have a fairly serious demeanor. But even though you tend to think and speak in very practical ways, surprisingly, you also have a great sense of wit. Your dry or sarcastic humor adds a flare to your personality that helps soften the sharper edges of Mercury in Virgo.

Scorpio thrives in the dark -- the realm of secrets and lies, questions and answers, death and transformation. It is an extremely inquisitive sign that is never satisfied with what is simply lying on the surface. Scorpio knows that the real treasures are found when you dig a little deeper, so while mental Mercury moves through the sign of the Scorpion, we all start asking more questions and searching for hidden meanings ... but we may not be happy with what we discover... When Mercury travels through Scorpio, it's like Mercury is shining a light on all the darkest parts of ourselves. We become more aware of our fears and desires, and the ways that others' lives impact our own. We can bond in much more intimate ways because we're able to discuss topics that are normally off-limits. But Mercury in Scorpio brings out the skeptic in all of us. While it may feel like we're searching for something wrong in every situation, it's really about emphasizing our negative thinking to get positive results. By eliminating information and ideas that don't serve our needs, we make room for those that will. Our minds are also more suspicious when Mercury is in Scorpio. Because it's a time that emphasizes secrecy and privacy, we're quick to assume there are things going on that we don't know about. But if we push too hard to try to get to the truth -- which is very likely under Scorpio's persistent influence -- we risk creating long-term issues of intimacy and mistrust. That said, Mercury in Scorpio does have the potential to foster greater intimacy as well. Because we're more willing to ask the really hard questions, we might finally get the answers we need to grow closer in the process.

When Mercury retrogrades through the sign of Scorpio, issues of honesty and intimacy arise. Secrets and lies we've been trying to hide are exposed, or we may experience yet another fallout from a previous deceit or betrayal. A key quality of any Mercury Retrograde is that it offers us a second chance to correct errors, reconnect with people, and absorb information that we didn't get the first time around. Doing this in dense, dark Scorpio, however, requires us to stay calm in what can feel like threatening situations. This is a time to learn that thoughts and reality are not the same thing. We can and should question facts and conclusions that come from the things we see and hear.

People born under the influence of Mercury in Scorpio can often be very intense individuals. You perceive and process the world in a very acute way, making it hard for you to ignore hanging questions and suspicions. You know that the information that is readily available to you is just the tip of the iceberg, and if you want the real answers, you've got to dig deeper... You value your privacy above most things. You're capable of opening up and sharing yourself in intense, passionate ways, but only when you've reached a level of real trust in a relationship or friendship. Because of this, you tend to have very deep and emotional connections with others, and may have a very difficult time letting people go. You may also deal regularly with issues of trust. Believing that others don't have ulterior motives or hidden agendas is hard for you, and you could create big problems in relationships by insisting there is something happening when there really isn't. In the same light, you highly value your own privacy, and don't appreciate people trying to pry you out of your comfort zone. The best thing you can do is extend this same consideration to the people you love, and realize that sometimes things can be taken at face value.

Mercury is concerned with getting down to the nitty-gritty, and Sagittarius likes looking at life through a broader lens. Because Sagittarius always has its sights set on the future, Mercury's presence in this sign supports visions of tomorrow. The trick is to use meticulous Mercury's knack for filling in all the details so the picture you're selling is the one that actually develops. Exuberant Sagittarius adds a touch of excitement wherever he goes, which means Mercury in Sagittarius can be a time of enthusiastic words, confident messages, and passionate debates. The key to this transit is to drop your prejudices, but not your reason. In the desire to find the answers to life's biggest questions, it's imperative that we appreciate different points of view. We must all remember to think before we speak while Mercury is in Sagittarius! That's because things could come flying out of our mouths without checking to see if they're true, or before considering other's feelings. We need to triple-check our words during this transit, so we don't end up coming across as fools, or saying things we don't really mean... Sagittarius is represented by the Archer, the explorer, which means our possibilities are endless while Mercury is traveling here! We're encouraged to broaden our minds and horizons now, making this a great time to start thinking about taking a trip somewhere, going back to school, or starting a new job.

All the usual irritations normally associated with Mercury Retrograde -- poor communication, broken connections, electronic meltdowns, and traffic jams -- will probably take place while Mercury moves backward through Sagittarius. But because everything is exaggerated under the sign of Sagittarius, the chaos could be even more frantic than usual! Thankfully, Sag's optimistic outlook also helps us keep a sense of humor when things do go awry. We're more prone to putting our foot in our mouths during Mercury's retrograde in this sign. Sagittarius is blunt, saying exactly what's on its mind. So during this retrograde, we may say what we're thinking without applying the normal filters to our words. We need to be mindful of this, or we could create conflicts that linger well after the retrograde is over.

As someone with their Mercury in Sagittarius, you need a lot of intellectual stimulation. Anything and everything interests you! You especially enjoy digging into subjects that broaden your perspective, such as religion, philosophy, psychology, or anything related to higher education. Your desire to learn as much as you can about the world could mean you have an interest in studying or traveling abroad. Having Mercury in Sagittarius makes you quite the straight shooter. Not one to beat around the bush, you believe direct communication is the only worthwhile style of communication. Yes, this can get you into trouble as sometimes you're a little too candid, but you never mean any harm. Tempering the truth with tact helps you maintain your honesty without coming across as insensitive. The expansive influence of Sagittarius makes you more inclined to focus on the bigger picture rather than getting bogged down in the details. Freedom of thought is incredibly important to you, and you have strong opinions on a wide variety of topics. It's one of the reasons you're always up for a good debate! Thanks to your expressive, witty, and outgoing nature, you stand out in social situations. You're an exciting storyteller, which makes others want to be around you. It's no surprise that many people with this placement have reputations for being the life of the party!

Our thoughts and ideas become more progressive when Mercury sets up camp in Aquarius. This sign is known for pushing the envelope, so when it pairs up with the planet of mental activity, we'll want to consider what could be rather than what is. We shouldn't be surprised if we come up with a few far-fetched and wacky ideas during Mercury in Aquarius. Aquarius is about remaining neutral and not letting our feelings get in the way of the truth. So when Mercury does his trek through this sign, we'll have the opportunity to view the things we're emotionally invested in through a more rational lens. This approach could finally help us see people and situations for what they really are. Expect a few a-ha moments courtesy of this dynamic duo! The one thing to watch out for during Mercury's time in this sign is hurting or neglecting other people's feelings. The cerebral nature of Mercury in Aquarius can overpower emotions and rationalize them away, making it difficult to feel. It's possible that we'll lose touch with our sensitive sides, so we need to do our best to handle any conversations we have during this time with care.

When Mercury goes retrograde in Aquarius, not only will communication and travel get chaotic, but we can also expect an added dose of mayhem when it comes to our technology. After all, Aquarius rules electricity, technology, and the Internet. So, when Mercury goes retrograde in this sign, it's possible we'll experience extra frustration with mishaps in these areas. To avoid making a purchase that leads to regret, hold off on buying any new electronics until after Mercury goes direct. But there's an upside to Mercury's retrograde through Aquarius, too. It's a time when our most innovative ideas will go through an overhaul. If we've had any out there thoughts, this is our chance to reassess them before we reveal them to the world. Our most powerful dreams and aspirations may come up for review, and we can use this transit to discard what we know is no longer working in our reality.

You really do march to the beat of your own drum! Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of individuality and revolution. This gives your thoughts a progressive edge -- there's no coloring inside the lines for you! Your future-minded approach may have you looking so far forward that your thoughts end up ahead of their time. With your Mercury in an Air sign, you have the gift of detachment and the grace of objectivity. You're more interested in facts than feelings, which can cause you to come across as aloof or unemotional at times. It's okay to focus on all the thoughts buzzing around in your brain, but it's also okay to take a break from time to time so you can reconnect with your softer side. Delightfully quirky. Unorthodox. Free-spirited. These are just a few words people might use to describe you! You're an engaging conversationalist who always have something interesting and insightful to share, and you possess a clever wit that keeps those around you laughing and thinking. Never one to shy away from a debate, you have strong -- and sometimes unconventional -- opinions on a variety of topics. You enjoy thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating conversations, and get a kick out of mentally sparring with people who challenge you. And because you're a fountain of knowledge, you can usually hold your own in the verbal ring.

Our minds are never open as wide as they are during Mercury in Pisces! Pisces thrives in the most vast spaces you can imagine. Think about the unbelievable depths of the ocean or the infinite reaches of space -- these are Pisces' realms. So while Mercury moves through this sign, our minds are expanded to this same level of vastness. We can see things we couldn't see before, and understand things we couldn't understand before. It's no surprise that some thoughts we have during this transit are beyond words. Our ability to communicate becomes fuzzy here, and some of the things that are happening in our minds are just too big to find words for. This is where our intuition comes in. Pisces is the most intuitive sign of the zodiac, and reminds us to pay close attention to the feelings we have in our minds. We know things in ways we can't explain, because our subconscious is being triggered more than usual while Mercury is in Pisces. Of course, there are also some cons to Mercury in Pisces. Miscommunication is possible, and we may have trouble staying on track. We might forget critical details, show up late for meetings, or say things that don't quite make sense. This is because we're speaking from the heart and gut, not our brains. Finding the words to match our feelings can make for some seriously stop-and-start conversations. But overall, Mercury's time in Pisces can bring amazing new opportunities our way. There are no limits during this transit. We're open to all possibilities, so we can easily embrace the things that are suddenly inspiring us. The level of promise and potential is high here, because we're not focusing on the things we can't do, but the things we can do.

When Mercury is in Pisces

When the planet Mercury goes retrograde, it appears, from our view here on Earth, to be moving backward through the sky. Therefore, the things Mercury rules -- communication, travel, details -- all start to get a little messy during Mercury Retrograde. When Mercury retrogrades in the sign of Pisces, though, there's a definite Piscean spin on its effects. We find our energy depleted, and show up late to work or appointments more often than usual. Because communication is already unclear with Mercury moving direct in Pisces, we can expect even more misunderstanding during a retrograde here. But it's certainly not all bad! Mercury hibernating in Pisces leaves more time for daydreaming and fantasizing, helping to rejuvenate a stale imagination. And even though it's not the best time to make a key argument or presentation, because everyone has the attention span of a gnat, using this time to polish your approach will have you ready to state your case effectively once Mercury turns direct.

People born while Mercury was in Pisces are soulful, intuitive, and compassionate. Mercury in most other signs is about the brain and the conscious mind. In Pisces, though, it's about the subconscious. Having your Mercury in Pisces amplifies your inner voice and helps you feel things that other people only think. It's a very sensitive placement that regularly reminds you to think further and accept that not everything on Earth can be explained by facts and figures. Your Mercury in Pisces is an extremely creative influence. You are driven by your inspirations and tuned in to your dreams. While you move through your everyday life, you process the world through this softer filter, helping you see the world in an idealistic light. You don't deny the tragedies of the world, but you also don't lose sight of all the magic and positivity that's still out there -- you know there's something much bigger happening. Because Pisces is such a spiritual sign, you thrive when pondering questions like: What is the meaning of life? What is my ultimate purpose? Is there a God? You're not deterred by the fact that there aren't any answers ... you're rejuvenated by the infinite amount of answers available. When you find a friend or lover who is happy to delve into these extraordinary concepts with you, you're sure to see stars in your eyes.

I am unapologetically pro-Astrology. I happen to believe that it should be taught in all universities the way it was back in the day. During Queen Elizabeth the First's reign, she declared that all surgeons and lawyers also needed to be practicing astrologers. The Queen was no fool! In the late 17th and early 18th centuries Astrology was taught in several well respected universities across the world. Good old JP Morgan Chase stated that Millionaires don't use Astrology, billionaires do. Would you dare to disagree with Mr. Moneybags? Hippocrates professed: A physician without knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician. Historical figures from Galileo to Benjamin Franklin and Carl Jung knew how important studying their birth chart and the birth charts of others were. I can tell you that you are most definitely in good company if you decide to pick up your horoscope and take a deeper look. You might already be familiar with Astrology as a predictive tool that can help you learn more about the planetary cycles you're under, which may affect you in money, love, family, career or just about anything else you're curious to know more about. Without question, no other divination tool is more precise in its capacity to zero in on timing for major life events.

But what about the birth chart itself? What's the point in knowing that Mars is square your Neptune or that Uranus makes a trine to your Venus, which is conjunct your MC? Does it really matter that Pluto is conjunct your Ascendant? Why trouble your brain with all of this complicated astro babble? Well, what if I told you that Astrology is the most comprehensive way to uncover who you really are and who you're meant to become? Astrology is a natural companion to psychology. If psychology is defined as the study of the soul, then Astrology is the study of the soul through the language of the stars. Deep inside your birth chart lays the secret code that will unlock your psyche and all of its potential. A thorough analysis of your chart will help you understand not only your talents, but also your short circuits. We all have them. Those not-so-nice qualities that tend to emerge when we're stressed out, anxious or trying to avoid something. Astrology can help you pinpoint your Achilles heel, as well as your glory. What's more, studying your birth chart can help you transcend your weaknesses and maximize your strengths. When you consider this, it soon becomes apparent that the benefits to studying your horoscope -- or anyone else's -- are priceless. For starters, you will appreciate what really makes you and those you love tick. What do you need more than anything else in the world to feel safe? Study your Moon for answers. How do you express love and what are some of your natural talents? Study your Venus. What do you look for in a partner? The answers are in your 7th House of Partnerships, any planets contained therein and by studying the ruling planet of your 7th House. Whatever your question might be, Astrology can help provide answers more illuminating than you ever imagined.

In addition, studying the Astrology birth chart of a loved one will undoubtedly help improve your relationship with them. Why? Well, if you have a tool that helps you understand how that person tends to operate within, then it naturally follows that you'll empathize with their tendencies -- even if you don't agree with or share them. This will lead to an improvement in your relationship instantly! Same goes for you. Studying your own chart will undoubtedly help improve the relationship you have with yourself! I'm fond of scouring the birth charts of my family, friends or colleagues whenever we experience patches of conflict or when I'd like deeper insight into their behavior. Not only do I see what their natural patterns are, but I can also compare my chart to theirs and discover how my own energy might not always harmonize with how they're naturally suited to express themselves. This realization puts it all in perspective when I am angry, upset or confused about any relationship. As you can see, the benefits of studying your birth chart are incredibly rich and multi-dimensional. Astrology can provide razor sharp insight into the human condition in the most instant, on-target way. Why wouldn't you want to get your hands on a tool that allows you to look deeper into yourself than years of psychotherapy? From my perspective it's a total no-brainer.

If you have Scorpio as your Rising sign, you are very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and fierce determination. When you want something, you go after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly -- and you usually get it. Because of your natural reserve, others may see you as something of an enigma. You are quite self-protective and often defensive. You are also very magnetic, especially to potential love interests.

You have a sweet, appealing demeanor and seem to instinctively grasp the concept that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Your personal brand of charm is usually quite winning. You coax rather than coerce. However, if you do not get what you want, you are likely to resort to insincere flattery, wheedling, whining, or pouting rather than stating directly what you need, or doing for yourself. You seem to need others' approval first.

If you have Venus sextile Pluto in your birth chart, your romantic relationships tend to be deep, intense, passionate, and highly emotional. It's all or nothing with you. Oftentimes you are irresistibly attracted to someone and you feel that you have very little choice or control over your powerful feelings. You may well be highly magnetic and sexually attractive yourself. Beware of using this power to manipulate people, for you could gain the reputation of being a user.

You are intensely amorous and attractive to the opposite sex and are not inclined to friendly, platonic relationships. There is much tension in your love life -- often because you put your desires ahead of your partner's and are impatient about having your love needs satisfied. The whole arena of love, romance, and sex is endlessly fascinating for you and you are not happy without a love partner. You can burn yourself out by pouring so much of your energy into romance.

For me, the real curiosity began when I got sick. Years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. This is an auto-immune disease where the body attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. If you look closely at my neck in your weekly videos you might notice the large goiter wrapped over my thyroid. It's almost the size of a golf ball. In any event, this goiter began to grow during my second pregnancy and for many years it was just an annoying, unsightly lump. Somewhere between the stress of sudden single motherhood, scrambling to build a career, and four years of awful divorce litigation, my annoying lump decided to go psycho. At that point, my Endocrinologist told me I might want to consider having my thyroid removed. If I did this, I would obviously need to be placed on thyroid hormone medication for the rest of my life.

This didn't sit well with me. My numerologist always told me that since I'm a 7 Life Path, I would respond best to holistic treatments whenever possible. So I did a bit of research and decided to hire a holistic doctor who specializes in treating my condition. The first thing he told me was that we needed to treat the underlying cause of my auto-immune disease which he suspected had to do with adrenal fatigue or possibly failure triggered from the years of over the top stress where I was constantly in fight or flight mode. So, what does this have to do with Astrology? Look for health clues in the next 12 months of your life with a personalized Astrology Forecast

Well I knew that Taurus rules the throat and thyroid gland and my Sun basic vitality is in Taurus. This suggests I have a natal predisposition to illness in this area. But can you imagine my shock when a well-respected colleague of mine, who IS a medical astrologer, told me that my Mars square Pluto aspect was the culprit for my adrenal stress? I was shocked when she connected the dots. I've got Pluto in my 6th House of Health and Mars is the ruler of my Ascendant another physical point in the horoscope. Mars happens to rule the adrenal glands and Pluto rules the metabolism. Using my horoscope, she revealed my personal weak points health wise. And she also agreed that treating this holistically for as long as possible was the way to go. You see, removing my thyroid gland would only address the thyroid. Not the underlying reason for my auto-immune condition. Recently, the Solar Eclipse in Taurus conjunct my Sun and Mercury ruler of my 6th house brought my focus back to my health in a major way. I noticed several of my Hashimoto's symptoms return with a vengeance. Things like an inability to lose weight or build muscle. I also experience mental fogginess, forgetfulness and hair loss. I just didn't feel like myself. A Solar Eclipse will often call attention to your health ... and I'm no exception. I made the decision to go gluten free since there's a direct connection between gluten and Hashimoto's and other auto-immune conditions. It has only been a few weeks and I notice a major difference!

Beyond my own horoscope, I can see the truth behind potential medical problems in the horoscopes of my own family members. Take my son Vincent for example. He is a Leo and has both the Sun and Moon in Leo in his 6th. Leo rules the heart. Lo and behold, my son was diagnosed with a heart murmur a few years ago. Thankfully, it's nothing serious at his age but we do need to monitor it. As per medical Astrology's wisdom, this is his weak point -- the heart. The body part most likely to be associated with weakened vitality is connected to your Sun sign. While you're not doomed to a disease in this area, it is a potential sore spot. Awareness, as always, can change everything. If you know a body part is inherently weak, then why not take every step to strengthen and protect that body part? Can you imagine how advanced our medical field would be if they still used Astrology as a tool in their diagnostic and treatment toolbox? Here's to hoping! Until then, it goes without saying that you simply must consult a doctor if there is any medical concern or issue you suffer with. A medical astrologer is not a doctor unless het or she is also an M.D. Sadly, there are only a handful of these doctors in the world. In the meantime, here's a handy list of what body parts are ruled by what signs and also what areas and functions inside of the body are connected to which planets. I hope you find it interesting ... and useful. To your health! Look for health clues in the next 12 months of your life with a personalized Astrology Forecast
