Libra – Mercury Retrograde Horoscope

Prepare to do a deep-dive into your psyche, Libra. After all, Mercury is stationing retrograde in your spiritual 12th house as of August 23, which could bring you face to face with your shadow self. Remember, the shadow self is neither the negative aspects of your personality nor the positive, as it merely represents all the parts of you that remain subconscious, unseen, and unrealized. However, your will to succeed is stronger than any fears you might have, especially when your emotions are also your most motivating force. Although you may feel more quiet and reserved during this time, this break from the social scene also giving your subconscious a chance to piece together what still doesn’t make sense and process all that you’ve been feeling and experiencing.

Once Mercury retrogrades stations direct on September 15, you may feel as though you’re waking up from a long dream filled with highs and lows. You may feel more rested, as though your subconscious finally had the opportunity to rest from all the commotion you’ve endured over the past year. Use this retrograde to embrace forgiveness and to truly work on letting go of what’s no longer your responsibility to carry.
