Mercury comes out of retrograde on September 15th. It will be nice to feel like you’re making headway again. Now that the planet of messages is resuming direction you’re sure to get a response to that call you made weeks ago, the offer that the other party kept dithering about, or the greenlight for a project whose future was in question. But a Mercury retrograde is more than just a test of patience and that’s because its pause in the action gets you to think about things differently. Do you really want to meet with someone who couldn’t make time to see you? How much can you trust someone who makes an offer, revokes it, and then decides to make it again? And what does it say when others aren’t behind something you believe in? Do you really want to work with them? In the next few days you may discover that “back on track” has less to do with carrying on after a setback and more to do with reconnecting with what you want.
