Mercury entered Libra Tuesday at 1:38 am EDT (05:38 UTC), the ultimate image of a diplomatic approach to a question or issue. Mercury will be retracing the steps where Mars tacked back and forth between December 2013 and July 2014.
This suggests a new perspective on many of the seeming conflicts that emerged during the Mars retrograde, and presents an opportunity to gain some clarity on what may have transpired during those months. It’s possible, even likely, that there remain some lingering issues from those days, and as Mercury makes its way across Libra between now and Sept. 27, you will get access to them in a way that has not been possible so far.
Mercury calls for clarity of mind, and of words. For clarity (and simplicity) it’s best to stick to what is true — there is such a thing. Mercury in Libra calls for a balanced point of view, taking many factors into account. This necessity is emphasized by the aspects that Mercury will make over the next four weeks, for example to Juno, Pluto and Uranus. You will need to choose your words carefully, and approach the questions of your life consciously, weighing the various sides of any issue — especially when you reach a point of urgency or what seems like a communication crisis.
