Mercury Retrograde (July 17 – August 11) Is The Beginning Of A New Life Chapter For These 4 Zodiacs
From a scientific perspective Mercury Retrograde is just an optical illusion. Orbital speeds make it appear as if the planet is moving backwards from our point of view on Earth. But as an astrological phenomenon, it’s a time for disruption and personal reflection. When turning inward can yield astonishing outward transformations. Here are four zodiacs who will find massive rewards in the midst of the “apparent” chaos.
Scorpio
Inner reflection is no untrodden frontier for you, Scorpio. You ghost people to focus on your own needs constantly, but for once, this isn’t such a selfish idea. The world might see you as cold or cruel for doing so, but you really do need this time to process where you’ve been, and where it is you actually want to get going. The people who matter most will still be available to chat through the details, but when you’re ready.
Until then, your new life chapter really begins as an idea. You are going to look back on your biggest wins and your deepest regrets and figure out what you want to revisit and what you want to let go of for good. Think of Mercury Retrograde as an intermission. The world may think you’re giving the audience a break, but it’s actually a planned pause that gives you time to set up for Act II.
Libra
The caution advised during Mercury Retrograde isn’t far from your normal approach to life. You are the most even-keeled sign of the zodiac, so you’re never rushing into contracts or crazy purchases on a whim. You plan and save up for things that matter, and you can read the room (or the stars) when it comes to sensing the right times to take risks or play it safe.
You’re going to stretch what you have a little further during this period, and will be greatly rewarded for your efforts. Being practical, resourceful, creative, and determined is all dress rehearsal for a huge life chapter shift where those skills are desired. The habits you implement in your home life will translate to a personal or professional endeavor that holds great importance to you.
Capricorn
Of course someone as meticulous as you would thrive during Mercury Retrograde, Capricorn. It takes a true workaholic to obsess over something until it’s absolutely perfect and flawless. You deeply understand the level of attention to detail needed to rewrite, rework, and revise something until it’s the very best version of itself, including you!
The haters will say you’re spinning your wheels or getting bogged down in useless minutiae, but once they see your final product, that vision only you understood brought to life, then they’ll get off their high horses and pay you the respect you’re due. You know exactly how to put your head down and buckle in during this time. Just trust in the process, and your new life chapter will write itself.
Sagittarius
The crazy thing about you, Sagittarius, is just how much is going on underneath the surface. In many ways, you are as much an optical illusion as Mercury Retrograde itself. What seems like light-hearted golden retriever, class clown energy is actually just the version of you you think the world can tolerate. When you retreat inside yourself, people assume you are crashing after partying too hard, but you’re actually prone to deep, soulful reflection.
The introspection you will perform during this transit is going to set your next life chapter in motion by giving you much needed purpose. You’re not dwelling on questions this long for nothing. These are questions are you fully capable of answering, with time, thought, and reasoning. The bigger picture is about to come into focus, so don’t take your eye off the viewfinder.
