September 12 - September 18, 2022
It was over the weekend that 15 days after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit to your romantic sector that Mercury turned retrograde here. Just when he should have left, Mercury has instead done a U turn and as well as staying on, will spend two weeks retracing the steps already taken. This will see Mercury retrograde back out later next week but just hours after the Sun's return, making sure the spirit of romance doesn't have a single moment to go off the boil. With Venus, the planet of love returning later in the month, the most romantically charged weeks of 2022 are still in front of you. In the meantime, on his own and in retrograde motion, Mercury brings a chance to take a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane but in his own more objective way. Mercury is looking to learn from the past so you can make the most of an opportunity for a do over, all while continuing to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.
