On September 9^th Mercury is retrograde at 8 degrees. Mercury retrograde is the planet moving back and forth slowly. It is a fluctuating retrograde loop moving past normal boundaries of the elliptic.  The retrograde movement is an obstruction that you must progress through. Mercury retrograde is a time of redo and review. Mercury is retrograde first in Libra and then it goes back into Virgo on September 24^th. It continues its retrograde movement until October 2^nd when it will go direct.  This Mercury retrograde in Libra will highlight relationships, including business relationships and the courts. Mercury in Libra will start a project and then stop before it is complete, and then start something different. During this transit, it will be hard to stay focused until September 24^th when it goes back into Virgo. The Virgo energy will have to redo, review, adapt, and eventually complete.
