Mercury Stations Retrograde on Friday

“The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.” Dag Hammarskjold

Mercury the fleet footed god of communication and commerce is slowing down to station retrograde on July 18 at 15 degrees of the fiery sign of Leo. Mercury then  will backtrack to 4 degrees of Leo on August 11.

Retrograde periods provide a good time to review, reconsider and reflect. This retrograde in Leo provides a good time for  revisiting our self esteem, self confidence and self expression.

Mercury will station  while making a sextile to Venus in Gemini – indicating  the mind and heart functioning in harmony. A good time for heartfelt communications.

It’s wise all week with aspects to Chiron and Mercury slowing to to keep communications clear – to speak and listen with heightened awareness.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Brilliant sunshine just after a storm.”
