Usually when your astrologer says Mercury is retrograde you think of computer and car problems, this time Mercury retro is connect with relationships, so even though there still can be mishaps with computers and commuters, take a look at what needs to be rethought about your relationships in your life.
Mercury moves retrograde three times every year (on average) for about three weeks at a time. This is a time in astrology when astrologers tell you to catch up with all the little details that have been scattered in your life. In essence when you get in touch with astrology you will go with the flow of life and learn how to listen to the messages from the planets. The message from Mercury retrograde is: Do not start additional projects; complete what you have been working on for the past three months. Also it is not the best time to purchase anything new or major; use what you have, repair or get rid of items in your home and office that no longer work or no longer are useful to your present needs.
Mercury is retrograde from the sign of Libra and stations direct in Virgo; which is one of the signs that mercury rules, the other being Gemini. This retrograde will be a precursor of events to come and our intuitive guide for the major shift happening October 29th when Saturn moves into Libra. (An event that happens ever 28 years)
Astrology is a complex subject and one of the secrets to learn astrology and become an excellent astrologer is to interpret each retrograde separately with the astrology chart for the time of the retrograde. September 7th at 12:45am EDT Mercury stations and retrogrades; cast an astrology chart for this time for where you are living or use the location of the capitol for the country you live in.
The chart placed in Washington DC gives the ascendant zero degrees of Cancer. This is a very sensitive degree in astrology. Pluto is at 0 degrees Capricorn conjunct the 7th house cusp, the line of other people. Further Mercury is square Mars in the first house indicating aggressive communication. The communication of Mercury in Libra want to be nice and fair, and Mars in Cancer can be passive aggressive, so expect mixed signal and messages. When you feel uncomfortable or unsure of what someone is saying dig deeper to be very clear about what is expected. Mercury is moving from the sign of Libra to conjunct Saturn in Virgo. This signature is implying there will be a collective rethinking on serious issues in your personal life as well as rethinking issues in the government roles and work policies. It is indicating problems in Washington DC for the health care reform bill.
On a personal level it is important to ask: Where in your life do you side step issues because you want everything to be fine with no problems versus getting real about a problem and working hard at it? Are you afraid of saying the truth for fear of not looking good? Critical thinking is necessary to understand the nature of your relationships and to have people in your life that are right for you.
There are action steps to take for this Mercury retrograde. First and foremost is to catch up on loose ends, projects or promises that will help you achieve the goals you have. Recommit to personal health goals. Think about how you communicate with people you are in partnerships with. What is working in those partnerships and what is not quite right?
How can you have partnerships that are fair and balanced? Do you have that balance in your life? Are you fair to yourself when you talk to yourself and your mind is assessing all that you have done, want to do, and think you are supposed to do?
Astrology gives us another perspective on managing our lives productively. You don't need to be an astrologer to understand these ancient and time tested principles of stepping back, taking a deep breath, and allowing time to catch up with your busy life.
This mercury retrograde I challenge you to use these three weeks to get caught up in all areas of your life that have loose ends. Astrology will help you stay on track with your spiritual development and help you in unfolding your greatest talents to have the life you were meant to life.

How to Use Astrology to Improve Your Life
One of the best methods of working with astrology is using the messages from the universe to improve your life. Many times when one is looking at an astrology chart it is easy to focus on the negative or more difficult planets. Yet if we get bogged down in the negative we can spend years simply keeping it together to plough through the tough times.
This is not to say that the difficult planets, Saturn and Pluto especially, do not present challenges, they certainly do create a myriad of problems to encounter, face, work through or let go and move on from. However it is in the realm of the positive influence that we can rise above the problems, find the solution that will transform the difficulties, and consciously find happiness even when circumstances do not warrant joy.
Focus on the helpful planets and where they are moving in your chart when you have difficult situations; whether it is money issues, relationship problems, health concerns or family tragedies. Learn which houses transiting Jupiter and Venus and your progressed moon are in your personal natal chart. The chart is divided into twelve houses, each house representing a different area of life. It is in the houses that Jupiter, Venus and the Moon are moving through that you will find opportunity for growth and happiness.
Jupiter brings opportunity and protection. If Jupiter is in your house of career, you are protected at work even if others are being laid off or fired. If you happen to be given the pink slip and you have Jupiter in the tenth, think of the attitude and beliefs you had about your work during the previous year, were you hoping for more time for yourself? Jupiter will bring you what you want and your new job could be the time you were telling yourself you needed to do your true vocation, whether it is to write the book, start a new business or many other ideas.
The Moon moving through the houses will tell you where you will benefit from for your emotional well being. If it is in the house of relationships then it is time to give and be with a significant other. During this passage you will find that connecting with compatible partnerships can provide you with warmth and contentment that you never expected in the past. If the moon is moving through the house of independence and self it is time to connect with who you are and reclaim where you feel you have lost your inner sense of authenticity.
Now is the time to protect your being through positive structures that will counteract negativity in your life and what you can be picking up and experiencing from the emotional climate in the worlds environment. Listen to your inner guidance system to hear where your own opportunities exist, then take action to put into motion that which you know you need to do.
