One decision made and the next follows.ĭuring this Mercury Retrograde we are also dealing with the before mentioned transits. One lesson learned, the next will be right there. Vishakha is a Nakshatra of advancement, crossing thresholds over and over, evolving on their path through this lifetime. Mercury likes this just fine as he likes his options and being able to take his creative expression in any which way. Mercury in Vishakha Nakshatra (20✠0 Libra – 3✢0 Scorpio) – Vishakha, ruled by the deity Indragni, is a constellation of options and ultimately decisions. During the retrograde we may see this manifest in overthinking and maybe being too scattered for Mercury’s own good. For the planet of logic and thinking, Mercury, this serves quite well as Mercury likes to engage the mind and create new things from there. Vayu has the ability to scatter like the wind and leads the mind into different directions. Mercury in Swati Nakshatra (6✤0′ – 20✠0′ Libra)– Swati Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu, the God of Wind, Air and Oxygen. This is a great Nakshatra catering to Mercury’s creative side in all things communication, like writing, speaking, and we have a connection of modern technology, ie computers, with Mercury and Chitra as well. This is a Nakshatra of gaining merit and creating a foundation for good future karma. Mercury in Chitra Nakshatra (23✢0′ Virgo – 6✤0′ Libra) – Chitra is ruled by Vishvakarma, the Celestial Architect who is responsible for creating the spectacular abodes of many of the gods in the Hindu pantheon. Over the course of roughly 3 weeks Mercury will then move “backwards” into Chitra Nakshatra where he’ll stay for the remainder of this retrograde.

While in Libra Mercury will pass through Chitra, Swati and Vishakha Nakshatra, however during the actual Mercury Retrograde phase the planet will start his retrograde motion in Swati Nakshatra 17✣0′ sidereal Libra. Mercury has already been in Libra since September 23rd and will remain in this Venus ruled sign until November 27th. What’s different about this Mercury Retrograde is that, as already mentioned, it happens conjunct the Sun who is debilitated in his enemy sign Libra, and we also have two irksome malefic aspects on the planet, Mars’ eight-house aspect from Pisces and Saturns ten-house aspect from Capricorn. This year we had all three Mercury retrogrades in Air signs, starting with Aquarius, then Gemini, and finally closing the cycle with Mercury’s perceived backward motion in Libra.

Starting October 13th until November 3rd Mercury will be in his retrograde motion. This Mercury Retrograde in Libra is the last one in 2020 and will be conjunct a debilitated Sun for the most part.
