Mercury in Virgo Retrograde, 2010

Mercury in Virgo Retrograde, 2010
Molly Hall, About.com


When is It?

From August 20th to September 12th. The shadow period -- when Mercury is in the degrees it will retrograde began July 12th at 5 degrees Virgo. Mercury will leave direct Shadow -- crossing these degrees -- on September 27th, at 19 degrees Virgo, where the retrograde first began.

This is the third Mercury retrograde for 2010, all of which have been in earth signs. These timeframes in 2010 draw the focus back to real life observations, often to do with day-to-day living. See also, Mercury Rx in Real Life

Review of the Situation

Virgo is a sign that's present to its environment. Mercury Virgo analyzes everything, going over the details again and again. Mercury retrograde is a time to look at it again, but in a thorough, realistic way. Nothing slips past Mercury Virgo, and details missed the first time are woven back into the story.

Watch out for paralysis analysis and getting stuck on insignificant minutia. Mercury Virgo is a flexible mental current, though, with a drive toward integrating facts into the whole picture. This aids those needing to make important decisions, based on head-spinning changes happening for many these days.
