Depending on which time zone you live in Mercury will station retrograde either late Sunday night or early Monday morning.  The planet of the mind, communication and conceptual creativity will be retrograde until October 18.  Internal and external processes slow down, particularly in the areas of life governed by the Libra ruled House in your chart.  The past may come back to visit again via triggering events in the present. This can reveal areas in our personal mythology where we require further and deeper healing Libra is at times a sign that can be lazy, indecisive and prone to procrastination.  A Mercury retrograde in Libra intensifies those predispositions.  Communication breakdowns, both human and technical are a standard feature of any Mercury retrograde cycle, so extra care is required throughout the period.  Remember, the devil in the details. This planetary event serve a catalyst for the ending of relationships that no longer work or that are outright toxic. This can extend to work relationships, as well as love.  Legal issues or problems can come to a head now.  As long as we do not get mired in  melancholia or self-pity a useful reflection on our life can occur now, a retrospective gaze that can serve to help us reconcile the past, bring greater awareness to the present and steer us toward a better future.
