Mercury in Virgo – 20th August to 26th October 2022

Mercury Retrograde – 10th September to 2nd October 2022
Part 2

We are here with Part 2 of the Mercury retrograde blog. If you haven’t read the first part of the blog, I’d suggest that you do that first to get a basic idea of the retrograde, the kind of events, and the elements associated with this cosmic event.

That said, Part 2 of this blog will walk you through a series of important information, including the way this retrograde will affect individual signs, the cautions, remedies, and associated influences.

Mercury retrograde is all about chaos for a certain time period, overthinking, problems with gadgets, computers, software, internet-related issues, and misunderstanding due to communication. It is a wonderful time to sit back, reflect as mercury retrograde makes one more intuitive rather than outspoken and expressive. Happy Reflections to all.

Moving ahead, let me give you a quick rundown of everything that will be covered in Part 2 of this blog:

• How will the Mercury retrograde have an overall impact on all the zodiac signs?
• Cautions you should be aware of
• Remedies that can support you during such testing times
• Other planetary transit alongside Mercury retrograde

With that, let us kickstart Part 2 of this blog that most of the readers have been looking forward to.

How Will the Mercury Retrograde Affect the Rashis/Zodiac Signs?

Whenever there is a big cosmic event happening in the universe, it isn’t surprising that people are looking forward to exploring how these planetary transits will affect them personally. I am pretty sure you are in the same boat.

This section of the blog will explore all you need to know about the Mercury retrograde effects on individual signs.

1. Aries/Mesha :

If you are worried if this Mercury retrograde is beneficial for you, let me tell you that the phase will introduce a bit of highs and lows. You have travel on the cards in the near future and you may be having a hard time managing your finances. So, if possible, avoid overspending and take care of your expenses. You are also likely to be overspending on younger siblings, so keep that in mind as well.

That aside, I’d also recommend that you avoid getting into a spat with your neighbors/younger sibling during this period.

2. Taurus

Overall, this is quite a fulfilling and pleasant period for you. Ideally, this is a great time to channel the most of your creativity and explore avenues that you didn’t think of before. Besides that, you are also likely going to indulge in activities that bring a sense of contentment to your life. You might explore possibilities of a new relationship, romance, or even educational opportunities. Just sit back and relax during the retrograde period and things will work out well.

3. Gemini

The Mercury retrograde in September 2022 may bring in an ok period for you. You might want to stay indoors and spend some quality time at home. This is a beautiful period to go inwards and work on your inner self. Also, spend time with your mother during this transit. Remember, on the days when Mercury combusts, there are possibilities that you might feel drained and out of energy.

4. Cancer

The retrograde will warrant some extra time for you where you might get to travel around and explore the different spots for fun or work. However, the one thing you have to be extra cautious about is your communication. The last thing you want to do is create chaos in your life due to misunderstandings that stem from a lack of transparent communication. Also, you may splurge money for buying things for your home.

P.S: Post-October 15th, 2022, you might have to stay on high alert. We will talk more about this in an upcoming blog on the Lunar Eclipse.

5. Leo

If you are currently concerned about your financial gains at the moment, we have some good news for you once Mercury turns direct, it will bring you extra income or gains either from friends, investments you have made or from the stock market. This is a good period overall. However, post-October 15th, 2022, you might have to stay on high alert. We will talk more about this in an upcoming blog on the Solar Eclipse.

6. Virgo

Given that this is a Mercury Retrograde in Virgo, its own sign and sign of exaltation, this is one of the most beneficial periods for Virgos. You will witness a boost in your confidence level and find a lot of energy in your life, once the retrograde phenomenon is over.

Remember, you might want to slow down during the Mercury combustion since, on those days, you may feel drained and out of energy.

7. Libra

The period of retrograde will be a mix of highs and lows for you. If you are someone who has a habit of overspending without thinking twice, now is the time to reflect. Avoid overspending as much as you can. You may have to pay close attention to your health, when Venus gets into Virgo on September 24, 2022. Be watchful as extravagance is likely to be on the cards.

8. Scorpio

This looks like a great period to go out, socialize and make new friends. You might experience issues with old property matters and disputes that could likely resurface during this period. Also, we’d recommend that you take good care of your health, especially when Mars enters Gemini on October 01, 2022, and then turns retrograde on October 30, 2022.

P.S: Await our blog on the Mars retrograde phenomenon.

9. Sagittarius

The transit is going to be an overall uplifting experience for you, especially if you are looking forward to professional growth. Also, we’d recommend that you wait until Mercury gets direct and things are going to work out the way you have likely envisioned.

10. Capricorn

Capricorns are going to experience the most out of the Mercury being in Virgo transit. It is an amazing time for you where you can expect a positive influence on your life. You do have travels on the card for you and looks like your luck is going to be in your favor as well. If you have any competition coming around the corner, you can expect to win that. Overall, it is a very good transit for you. Take care of the communication with your father or fatherly figure during the period of retrogression.

11. Aquarius

If you are considering spiritual transformation, now is the best time to indulge in it. It is a great time for you to indulge in occult, jyotishya and work to enhance your logical and analytical thinking skills. Besides these, the period will bring some unexpected money gains. We’d recommend that you take care of your health, especially if you have complaints about pain in the joints. Take good care of your bones. Great time to sit back and reflect. You may have ancestral property gains during this period.

12. Pisces

Last but not least is Pisces and looks like this is going to be an overall great transit for you. The presence of Jupiter in the 1st house will ensure that the transit is overall a pleasant experience for you. However, be aware of getting into rifts with your partner during this period. You might feel dismissive or adamant in a situation, so keep that into consideration. As Sun enters Libra on October 15, 2022, and onwards, that’s the time you need to be mindful about.

Cautions you Should be Aware of

Now that you have an idea of “Mercury retrograde September 2022 signs affected”, let us walk you through the cautions you need to keep in mind during this period.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the factors we’d recommend you keep in check:

• Be careful about documentation and paperwork
• Avoid ticket booking for shorter or long-term travel
• Avoid buying gadgets during this period
• Focus on ensuring clear and transparent communication to avoid misunderstandings
• Avoid software-related issues as much as possible
• Avoid getting into relationships since you might be unnecessary critical about your partner
• If you are in a relationship/married, avoid picking fights with your partner

These are some of the precautionary alerts you should integrate into your mind and avoid doing at all costs.

Remedies That Can Support You During the Transit

Retrogrades often leave different impacts on different signs. If you aren’t experiencing the best time or if you have a weak Mercury in your natal chart, offering tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu might help in stabilizing the situation and introducing positive changes in your life.

Besides that, chanting one of the following mantras might help too:

• ||Om Namah Narayan||
• ||Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya ||
• || Jai Shri Krishna ||

Some cosmic events don’t impact our lives in the best way and that’s quite common and fine. All you can do during such trying and testing times is to stick together and believe that this too shall pass.

Other Planetary Transit Alongside Mercury Retrograde

There are a few additional planetary transits that will occur besides the Mercury retrograde dates in 2022.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the same for you to look into:

• Sun will enter Virgo on September 17, 2022, Saturday at 07:35 AM
• Venus will enter Virgo on September 24, 2022, and will be debilitated. However, the debilitation will be nullified due to the simultaneous presence of Mercury in alignment, creating the Neechbhanga Yoga. Venus will then enter Tula or Libra on October 18, 2022.
• Venus will combust from October 01, 2022, to October 17, 2022.
• Mars, which is currently in Taurus, will enter Gemini on October 16, 2022. Mars will simultaneously turn retrograde on October 30, 2022. We will cover more on this in a later blog.
• The months of October and November will be a little turbulent with the back-to-back eclipses that are happening. During this period, Saturn will remain stationary before turning direct. Also, Mercury and Venus will play an integral role in the eclipses. I understand that being bombarded with a series of cosmic events and transits can be overwhelming. To make things a lot clearer and more transparent for you, we will be highlighting some of the upcoming transits and other cosmic events in our future blogs.
