The year has been jam-packed with retrograde energy and Mercury was no exception. Nevertheless, we are accustomed to what Mercury brings, because it happens a lot more throughout the year compared to other planets.
During this last retrograde, Mutable and Cardinal signs experienced the most setbacks. Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius) would have seen a shift, especially with Saturn and the North Node in the same sign. Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) may have experienced delays, periods of frustration, and struggles reaching balance. But now with Mercury direct in Pisces, we are getting clarity, gaining momentum, and can finally start new projects that fill us with happiness.
