Hey angels! It’s Erin River Sunday from TBH Magic. How’re things? The astrology lately has actually been pretty quiet…but the rest of the year promises to get LOUD once again.

First up? Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde in Libra + Virgo

Mercury Retrograde Dates: September 9 - October 2nd

***Shadow Period: August 20 - October 16***

Important Dates:

• Stations retrograde on September 9th at 8° Libra

• Mercury CAZIMI (connecting with the Sun) on Sept 22nd 0° Libra

• Mercury stations direct on October 2nd at 24° Virgo

This is the most…calm of the four retrogrades of the year. What a NICE thing! It doesn’t connect to any major astrological themes of the year, so it can feel softer than the previous ones. What comes to mind is a calm clearing of worries, and operating with love as much as possible. Relationships will come into focus throughout this month, because of the retrograde happening in the sign of Libra, all about our committed partnerships.

STONE: Rose Quartz. I like suggesting a stone for Mercury Retrograde because it can act as a sort of talisman when other things feel unstable. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love…and Rose Quartz is THE stone of love! This period, while still a Merc Retro, feels soft and sweet compared to the other ones of 2022. This stone is a great addition to any collection and most people are familiar with its properties.
