Mercury is slowing down now in preparation to station direct on 5:15 PM EDT on Wednesday, bringing an end to the retrograde period.
Mercury has been squaring Uranus during the retrograde period and this alignment will continue through September 9 or so. This can bring snafus with timing, communications and technology. On the bright side, Uranus/Mercury aspects are associated with innovation in thinking. Often inventors have this aspect in their natal charts.
Uranus transits can be hard on the nervous system so it’s wise, if needed, to create extra downtime this week for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Venus is opposing Neptune this week. This can be an influence that bodes well for creativity and inspiration when in a favorable aspect. In an opposition such as this though, there can be illusions about the Venus – ruled aspects of life – pleasure, romance and love as well as finances. It’s best to keep your feet on the ground and proceed pragmaticaly when making any decisions this week.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A fertile garden under the Full Moon.”
