September 12 - September 18, 2022
Mercury's early return to your work sector, four weeks before the Sun was due to turn the solar spotlight onto your work situation, job matters and options was always going to have consequences. This meant that Mercury would have to wait for the Sun to catch up, which is what his retrograde turn over the weekend has done. In between now and retrograding back out later next week, Mercury will retrace the steps already taken during his first two weeks there, with a chance to go back over old ground. It is less than 12 hours before Mercury retrogrades back out that the Sun will return next Friday, ensuring there is continuity but also a massive head start. Until then, with Saturn also in retrograde motion in your career sector, all the planets in your two professional houses are in retrograde motion and with it a chance to look back rather than forward. With Saturn in his final weeks in retrograde motion in your career sector for another three decades, the timing couldn't be better.
