See Mercury Retrograde Meaning for more information about Mercury retrograde in transit and in the natal chart. If you have Mercury retrograde in your birth chart, see Natal Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde September 2022

The three phases of Mercury retrograde 2022 last from August 20 to October 17, between 24° Virgo and 8° Libra

  1. First shadow phase – August 20 to September 9 – 24° Virgo to 8° Libra.
  2. Retrograde phase – September 9 to October 2 – 8° Libra to 24° Virgo.
  3. Second shadow phase – October 2 to 17 – 24° Virgo to 8° Libra.

Mercury enters the retrograde zone on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at 24°11′ Virgo [see chart]. During the first shadow period, you will understand the thinking, communication, or transport issues that may arise during the retrograde phase.

Mercury Stationary Retrograde

Mercury stations retrograde on Friday, September 9, 2022, at 08°55′ Libra. It makes two planetary aspects, as shown in the chart below. A favorable trine to Mars and challenging opposition to Jupiter.

Mercury trine Mars is applying. Mercury stations retrograde before it makes the trine aspect to Mars. It is not until after the retrograde phase on October 26 that Mercury trine Mars is exact.

But Mercury opposite Jupiter is separating. Three exact oppositions occurs on September 2, September 18, and October 12. It stays with a 3°30′ orb from August 29 to September 22. This means Mercury opposite Jupiter has a more significant influence on Mercury retrograde 2022 than Mercury trine Mars.

The Aspects

Mercury trine Mars brings quick thinking and reflexes and a sense of adventure that are ideal for making on-the-spot decisions, taking risks and making bold plans for the future. Confidence in your thoughts or ideas and a persuasive communication style are great for debating, asking for favors, public speaking, and sharing thoughts you might otherwise keep to yourself.

The assertive and exact nature of your thinking and communication means this is the perfect time to defend yourself, your loved ones, or an issue you care about. This is also a good influence for sharing your passionate thoughts, telling someone how attractive they are, and asking them on a date.

Mercury opposite Jupiter brings big ideas and grand plans; you should feel optimistic and sociable. You may have many ideas and cover a lot of ground but may need to narrow your view or take on fewer projects. Take care not to skip over the details or believe you can handle more than you can.

This aspect can bring opportunities for success, but greed or overconfidence would lead to loss, scandal or embarrassment. This is an excellent time to question your plans, ideas, and beliefs. Others may question or challenge you, forcing you to examine any weak points in your arguments. Any beliefs or opinions too far from the social norm may cause controversy.

The Fixed Stars

Mercury stations retrograde in the Sign of Libra on September 9, 2022. But as the star map below shows, it is actually in the Constellation of Virgo. This discrepancy is due to the precession of the equinoxes. It has moved the Sun Signs almost a whole Sign out of alignment with the Constellations from which they were named over 2000 years ago. The Signs were invented initially only as a measuring device. Astrologers had always used the visible constellation and their stars for astrological interpretation.

Mercury Retrograde September 2022 [Stellarium]

Mercury’s stationary retrograde aligns with two major fixed stars in the constellation Virgo. Vindemiatrix is the closer of the two, and its influence will predominate.

Mercury conjunct Vindemiatrix: Impulsive, too hasty, loss through writings and business. [1] Nervous irritability if poorly aspected. [2]

Vindemiatrix gives falsity, disgrace, stealing, and wanton folly and often causes its natives to become widows. It is of the nature of Saturn and Mercury. [1]

Vindemiatrix figures strongly and regularly in deaths that are in some way dramatic, newsworthy or resented in much more than the usual degree by those left behind (assassinations, common criminal murders, executions, airline disasters etc.) Many do indeed feel a strong religious calling. [3]

Vindemiatrix rules the center of the right kidney. When any planet energizes this degree, especially the Moon, there is a fear within these individuals that they will lose their partner. Through their own fear, they project the loss. They are given the opportunity to work with this fear and release it. If not released from the subconscious level, the fear they carry will materialize, and they become widowed. [3]

Summary

The challenging influence of Mercury opposite Jupiter is stronger than the favorable influence of Mercury trine Mars. So while Mercury trine Mars gives quick thinking and a sharp tongue, Mercury opposite Jupiter gives a tendency to say too much and offer too much.

Fixed star Vindimatrix gives impulsiveness, hastiness, nervous irritability and loss through writing and business.

It is essential, therefore, to think twice before making bold statements. There is an increased risk of gossiping, boasting, offending people and promising too much. Try to be more conservative, considerate and modest. In this way, you can take advantage of the opportunities for success that these combined aspects bring.

      • Jamie.this whole month most of the days it’s //restrain yourself, compromise, don’t push your agenda too hard// etc for Aries decan 1. Last month also it was same. Doesn’t make any sense to me. So do i just call in sick, go under my blanket n just sleep straight for two months ? I’m almost scared of taking any initiative at all. Wow !!! Looks like there is no hopes for Aries till God knows when. Please clarify

  3. Vindemiatrix, literally was the latin title given to the Matriarch of the Vine, a mature full bodied specimen, with an acquired taste appealing to those with a more appreciative pallet & discernment, who enjoy her wisdom, creativity, produce and art, just in case anyone’s interested 😉 I dont have mercury rx trine mars, but I do have mercury rx trine Neptune which is a more subtle form of communication that one can often hear the wooshing noise as it goes over some peoples heads, but, then if it was for them to know, they would have picked up on it anyway 😉 that being said, the mercury rx point is square my natal Merc rx and semi sexitle natal Neptune, Pluto is still provoking and empowering my Libra ascendant, which of course at my age is quite well versed in a more diplomatic expression motivated to peace keeping not inciting the opposite. So I will keep my wits about me, not get caught up in the hastiness and remain as subtle as ever. Not really prone to boasting nor drawing attention to myself, I quite enjoy blending into the shadows, hidden in plain sight, but I can see how the Mercury rx opposition to Jupiter rx in Aries, may add a bit too much gas to the fire that some, may be blown away by some rather big, inexcusable, reveals.

  5. Hello! I’m considering a potential job opportunity. I first learned of the opportunity the first couple days of August. I immediately updated my resume and passed it along. The institution reached out to me on August 12th to set up an initial interview, which occurred on August 16th. I had a second interview on August 26th. That same day I was told the President wanted the institution to “write an offer letter.” Next, the institution set up a meeting with the executive team for September 8th. I haven’t yet received the offer letter, but I’m told it’s forthcoming, probably once I’ve met with the executive team. I’m sick to my stomach that we’re in Mercury retrograde season and don’t want to jinx this opportunity. I’ve always heard you shouldn’t negotiate a contract or sign anything during Mercury retrograde, etc. What do you think in my situation? Am I setting myself up for failure if I accept an opportunity during Mercury retrograde?

  9. The King had his 5th Profection Ascendant in 2020. Age 72. By the time of his birthday the Monolith heliicentric Jupiter-Saturn was set, but not the geocentric Jupiter-Saturn, when the Brits went balls-to-the-walls Delta, and Boris settled Brexit with the EU between Christmas and New Year… lest we forget. Sorry, no audio or video with this post. Lonely vigel, planet Earth.

    • correction, 6th Profection Ascendant in 2020, 6 * 12 = 72

      Long Live the King. I read his Urban Design isnt a blight on air space, but not neccarily a horizontal monolith either, not that we dont need refreshing change in torrid zone tourist lands.

  11. Taiwan Earthquakes Southeast slope.

    If you recall the Hunga Tonga–Hunga volcano, 15 January 2022, there was a decent enough premonition of this blast by studying the antipode of the Earthquake in the Mediterranean near Polis-Paphos, Cyprus, 11 January 2022.

    The country Paraguay, South America, engulfs the majority of antipode Taiwan.

  15. God Doesn’t Keep Us in the Desert Forever

    Forty years sounds like a long time. To the Israelites who were in their teens, they didn’t reach the Promised Land until they had turned 50 or 60 years old.

    But even though God’s timeline may not align with ours, he doesn’t keep us in the desert forever. Whether the “desert” we’re currently enduring is a trial or if we think of the “desert” as this world (a limbo until we reach the Promised Land of paradise) God doesn’t hold us in limbo forever.

    We will reach the Promised Land since promised is in the title. God doesn’t break covenants, and he won’t keep us suspended in the desert for eternity. Whether our trial lasts four years or 40, we will make it to the Promised Land.

    Welcome to Paradise:

    Turn the Tables.

    As we come to the final chapter,may i suggest we disconnect from the system(NOW)

    No distractions,no tv,no reading,no internet(unless inclined to write and send a message relayed through you)

    Be in stillness,peace and quiet,like your back in your womb.

    Let silence be your comfort and your voice to you.

    Keep the faith,don’t waiver nor falter,don’t fear the reaper,keep loving presence in your heart.

    2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
    a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

    3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
    a time to break down, and a time to build up;

    4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
    a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

    5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
    a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

    6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
    a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

    7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
    a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

    8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
    a time for war, and a time for peace.

  22. Four seasons in one day
    Lying in the depths of your imagination
    Worlds above and worlds below
    The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
    Even when you’re feeling warm
    The temperature could drop away
    Like four seasons in one day
    Smiling as the shit comes down
    You can tell a man from what he has to say
    Everything gets turned around
    And I will risk my neck again, again
    You can take me where you will
    Up the creek and through the mill
    Like all the things you can’t explain
    Four seasons in one day
    Blood dries up
    Like rain, like rain
    Fills my cup
    Like four seasons in one day
    It doesn’t pay to make predictions
    Sleeping on an unmade bed
    Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
    Only one step away
    Like four seasons in one day
    Blood dries up
    Like rain, like rain
    Fills my cup
    Like four seasons in one day.

  24. At this pivotal point in time.

    Do we change peoples hearts and minds?

    No and yes.

    When the pupil is ready the teacher will come-Laozi.

    There shadows will rise.

    They will feel weak,fearful,scared and nervous.

    When they try to talk you down,

    shut them down mid sentence with a sharp rebuttal of truth.

    They will try to sprout words as if there intelligent,

    to try and get the upper hand.

    Insecurities arise.

    Again,shut them down mid sentence with a sharp rebuttal of truth.

    Cruel to be kind.

    A sharp tongue,but also show,compassion(relatedness)love & empathy.

    Relatedness being,there is good in everyone,

    and empathize that where all in the same boat.

    Don’t waste your time on people who are not open to change,

    just yet that is,they will come around in time.

    Fingers Crossed.

    • Ps.Re:all in the same boat.

      Where all victims of this current system.

      We need to disconnect from this system and all distractions.

      Non attachment to money and material possessions,

      nor a desire for a partner,nor desiring anything really.

      Other than your devotion to love in your heart,

      and inner presence that’s always been there.

      Call it God and or whatever you believe in that aligns with love in your heart,

      and of course Empathy,and in turn relating to others.

      If we just throw caution to the wind,and stop playing it safe,

      abundance will follow,abundance being,you will be taken care of.

      Nothing less,nothing more.

      Sit in stillness and talk to loving presence in your heart,

      don’t hold back.

      Find a quiet,be it in nature too.

      The sun is the eye in the sky,

      the animals bare witness and testament.

      Be especially loving and kind to all animals,

      big and small.

      Creation without thought,

      love in motion.

      Going with the flow.

      Nature our teacher,we are just pupils.

        Though found it irks there spirits even further,

        and come back for more,trying to antagonize.

        B:Fire off texts and or emails of truths,

        whichever way they made contact.

        Have found this works by draining there energy,

        and they soon get the point and give up.

        If excitement rises and inclined,

        just go with it,

        and let it flow through you.

        Don’t hold back.

          Excerpt:The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

          Attack by Stratagem

          (3) By employing the officers of his army without discrimination,

          That is, he is not careful to use the right man in the right place.

          through ignorance of the military principle of adaptation to circumstances. This shakes the confidence of the soldiers.

          “If a general is ignorant of the principle of adaptability, he must not be entrusted with a position of authority.”

          “The skillful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. For the wise man delights in establishing his merit, the brave man likes to show his courage in action, the covetous man is quick at seizing advantages, and the stupid man has no fear of death.”

          Four Seasons aka the four horseman.

          Wise,brave,covetous and stupid.

          Earth,wind,fire and water.

          Conquest, war, hunger, and death.

  25. Why do we need churches,temples,gurus etc etc and authority telling us how to live,worship and align to?

    Astrology,mediums,psychics etc etc,breeds an air of specialness-a course in miracles.

    Then we have society with roles to perform.

    and misinformation from capitalists plying there wares.

    Why don’t they get rid of porn,stop killing animals for consumption,tv and mainstream media.

    PIGS!No offence to pigs.

    Yeah anyhow,labels and roles,I am this NOT i am that.

    Blind leading the blind.

    3 blind mice.

    Keep people in the loop for slavery.

    Anyhow,

    The bible,the tao,buddhism,hindu,sikh and other religions etc etc.

    Why not get rid of religion all together.

    All have a message to convey all the same.

    Only one at the end of day,but divide,just like authority and capitalism.

    All that’s needed is a simple guide in layman terms.

    Condensed and easy to adhere to,practice and follow.

    Such as the 10 commandments.

    And faith,no fear of death.

    And love and empathy in the heart.
