August Mercury Retrograde 2011 in Virgo and Leo

Dear Friends and Fans. 

It’s that time again. Mercury retrograde has arrived for the 2nd of 3 times this transformational year. 2011 Mercury retrogrades are March 30 - April 23, August 2 - 26, and November 24 - December 14. 

Today, Mercury begins this retrograde cycle in the “detailed oriented” sign of Virgo opposite dreamy Neptune. It’s time to be Virgo-like and take a step back and reorganize, be discerning and more efficient with your time and communications. Mercury the messenger can be the trickster when retrograde, so it’s best to be patient, plan and prepare, since you may have repeat yourself or redo a project this month.

August 2011 Mercury retrograde timing report. Mercury retrograde begins August 2nd at 1 degree of Virgo opposite Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. When Mercury is in it’s home sign of Virgo, there is a reflection and reminder for efficiency. Then, the winged messenger returns back into Leo, renewing passions of the heart. Reflect on what really makes your heart sing.  Perhaps you may reconsider an old flame?  Remember to rekindle your inner passion. Mercury retrograde August 2011 is a time to refresh and re-create yourself from the passion of your heart’s desire.
