On August 8th Mercury in Leo leaves its 3 week long retrograde motion , completes its stationary phase and then goes direct. All in life, even thought itself, is governed by cyclic motion! To know the phase of the cycle beforehand can be a great advantage, to be caught off guard, frustrating!  Mercury’s stationary phase is short but can feel like suddenly putting your foot on the brake and making a quick U turn. Write down the 3 most pressing questions on your mind since Mercury went retrograde on July 15th. Chances are you’ve done some worthwhile research, put out feelers, shared information with others but even so were not able to come to a definitive solution. Suddenly, confidence replaces misgivings, all your work begins to pay off as things come into place, decisions are made, movement becomes more purposeful. If you’re tempted to jump the gun, if life feels discombobulated, hang in there, at least until the 9th but gear yourself up to move as Mercury direct will demand more of you soon!
