Mercury Retrograde in Libra reading 2021
Mercury, the planet that rules communication, will be in retrograde from September 27th, 2021 to October 18th, 2021. Retrograde is when a planet moves backwards in motion & therefore the energy of that planet is altered and affects everyone regardless of their level of knowledge of astrology. This is the last Mercury retrograde of 2021. Mercury retrogrades typically affect our thinking, technology communication skills, and travel plans. This retrograde is occurring in Libra, the sign of partnership as well as balance, so any close relationships will be highlighted. There is potential for conflict depending on how you approach the situation. Mercury is Libra transits favor diplomacy, fairness, charm, and sympathy. In any Libra transit, niceness wins. This retrograde, however will bring out the indecision in people as well as people pleasing & procrastination/lazy tendencies.
What does this mean for each area in your life?
General Advice:
Take time to plan ahead for your journey. Wake up earlier, Get ready sooner, be ahead of schedule. Proof read any text being sent out whether its an email, text, etc. Communicate clearly and leave no room for confusion in others. Compromise with others. Meet them halfway. Being nice will work in your favor and go a long way. Mind the business that pays you. Don’t make any huge, life altering decisions during this time. Do not start anything new (instead finish something else!). Do not sign any contracts or important paperwork.
Self:
Ten of Cups (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio energy). This is a beautiful, unexpected pull for this type of reading! This speaks of emotional fulfillment or accomplishing a personal goal. Congratulations if you have recently or are working towards doing so! I can see your progress and so can Spirit. This lets me know that no matter what, you’ll be taking care for yourself during this transit. Theres not only self care involved, but I see other measures to be your best possible self like taking care of your body, mind, and spirit. Some of you could be exercising, changing diets, visiting the doctor’s office, starting therapy, starting a yoga/fitness class, etc. I have a strong feeling people will wanna retreat indoors as the weather changes and want to spend more time with family or closed loved ones. Cherish those precious moments. Don’t hesitate to let the people you care about most know how much you appreciate them. This will definitely be a time to make memories with others and also with yourself. I see a lot of you taking pictures or getting into the habit or documenting your life in some way. This could be a daily journal thats in the form of a video vlog, or a voice recording. If you’ve recently changed your appearance, I see you being happy about that choice and receiving a lot of compliments on it. Challenge yourself to do something you’ve always wanted to. 10 is completion, success, and achievement, so envision your happy ending and work towards it.
Health:
The Fool rx (Uranus/Aquarius energy). This is a huge red flag for anyone planning to do a physical or surgical procedure. Please do your research & take pre-cautionary measures. Tuesday is the worst day to do any kind of surgery because it is ruled by Mars a planet prone to danger, accidents, destruction, pain, physical injury, lots of blood, and even death. Going to the doctor to get a check up is advised just to make sure everything is good and you’re perfectly healthy. Those who are searching for a new healthcare provider or wanting to start treatment with a new specialist may experience difficulty in your search, but I’m getting its because you’re meant to be re-directed to another professional which will be a better fit. The right person will come as soon as you’re about to give up your search. You’re super close. If you’ve been going through a lot of emotional changes in your personal life, you will feel more confident during this transit. Having good health is more than a blessing and more than enough reason to smile. If you are suffering from heart issues, you will feel more comfortable. If you’ve been praying for a breakthrough in terms of a diagnosis or treatment option working for you, I strongly feel you’ll receive good news related to this!
Finances:
Four of Wands (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius energy). Expect stability in your finances if you’ve been working hard. I see you also spending that hard earned money to see those you love smile. As the holiday season approaches, there will be a lot of gift purchasing and exchanges. Putting more time and effort will guarantee greater results at this time. You wanna make sure your work is diligent and quality. Since this is a Libra transit, you wanna make sure your work is visually appealing as well. People will gravitate towards what looks good. Whether or not they actually care for your product/service, you’ve got their attention so you gotta know what to do with it. Rushed work or anything that looks like it was thrown together is not going to cut it. 4 is all about foundation, home, tradition, material reality, and problem solving. It is important to establish a balance between your work and home life. If not now, it could affect either later down the line. You could be spending money on your home or space. If you are thinking about/are in the process of moving or purchasing a new home, take your time to find your perfect spot. Rushing will create mistakes and you could end up settling. There is a place out there within your budget and includes everything on your list. If it is meant for you, you will find it. Mercury in Retrograde tends to have unforeseen expenses come up, but the way you handle these situations determines your financial future. Make a financial cushion of savings for yourself if you haven’t already. There could be an opportunity for a big purchase/experience you’re gonna really want to be able to be a part of. I’m getting strong vacation energy or an expensive date. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, however be conscious of tomorrow.
Love:
(Single)
Ten of Wands rx (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius energy). You will be walking away from any situation or person that has you doing way too much. You’re recognizing how precious your own time and energy is and you’re no longer willing to give that to anyone who is not putting in equal effort or meeting you halfway. PERIODDD I know that's right! You know your worth if anything and during this transit you won’t be afraid to remind anyone who forgets. Everyone else will always come second to you. Remember that. Moving forward, you’re only going the distance for those willing to do the same for you. That self respect and love is so evident and you are standing on that shit. I’m so proud of you! You recognize the one sided connections where others simply aren’t cutting it & you’re choosing yourself by removing yourself. You understand that doing all the work to maintain a connection while the other person does nothing is not okay and you’re no longer making excuses for anyone. It's difficult to let people you care about go, however don’t be too harsh on yourself. Other people also have this tendency to criticize us when we make decisions for ourselves and choose what's best for us. That's why I said everyone should mind their business because their behavior caused this change, not you.
(Committed/In a relationship)
Two of Wands (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius energy). A lot more communication between you two. There will be new experiences you share together. I’m getting you both try something together for the first time. More vulnerability, intimacy, and opening up since Venus is still in Scorpio. Your partner is essentially your right hand man. They are always there and that sense of support will be affirmed during this transit. Even if you didn’t realize or trust it before, you will know just how much your partner loves you. Talking on the phone, FaceTime, texting on multiple platforms, dates, links, etc. Spending more time together brings more room for disagreements and chances for conflict. I’m also sensing a bit of immaturity during this transit. Like your partner might do little things that get you tight (annoy you) on purpose. Don’t let petty arguments ruin a good thing. Some of you who have been with your partner for longer may start getting annoyed with your partner period just because you’re so used to them always being there. You should always have time for yourself and your partner. Take as much space as you need, but be willing to communicate those needs with your partner. Let them be there for you. Tell them specific ways they can support you better. This could be a great time for developing/strengthening an emotional connection.
Travel:
The Hierophant (Taurus energy). You will experience delays in your daily routine travel such as to work or school. Any place you travel to regularly or are committed to going really. You will find it easier to get to your destination the more times you go. Take your time especially if your method of transport is a car. Be careful driving or walking especially when taking new routes. Any place that you travel to for leisure or entertainment may also experience troubles. Taurus energy can move at a slower pace, however in this case, slow & steady wins the race. You wanna give yourself more than enough time to get to where you’re going. If it takes 45 minutes to get somewhere, give yourself an hour. There's somewhere you’ve been visiting a lot lately and you love to go. You tend to lose track of time when you’re here which leads to issues on your journey back. Spirit says make sure this place isn’t distracting you or taking up too much of your time. Balance as well as great time management goes far. Someone famous, a celebrity or influencer has already or will be involved in a travel related accident and it will be revealed to the public when news of this person’s healing/recovery appears as a breaking story or headline. If you said no to a trip earlier this year, one that you’re even more excited about will be presented to you. So many things went wrong on that trip anyways, it wasn’t meant to be. That's why I said make sure you save your coins now!! This trip will possibly be funded by an upcoming collaboration you have with another creative/friend. I’m getting 2 messages. It could also be a trip with your friends that will allow you to create more content for all of your platforms so it's like a win-win.

Overall:
During my pre-shuffle the Five of Wands (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius energy) popped out letting me know that there could be a lot of arguments and tension building up during this time. This card gives very crabs in a bucket energy. There is room for everyone at the top, it was never a competition & that's what Libra transits teach us. Libra is a sign that for the most part plays nice, but this card speaks of passive aggressiveness or catty behavior rather than direct aggression. I also feel like a lot of people will want to come to their loved one’s rescue during this transit. You will see a lot of people fighting others battles and just being involved in what originally had nothing to do with them.
