We will enter the Mercury retrograde 'shadow' period at 21’38 degrees of Virgo on August 18, 2009 - Mercury will return to this degree again and pass over this point September 29, 2009 as he stations direct and prepares to leave the storm on October 6 - 7th. Prepare to rethink, redraw, replan, renegotiate, etc something that happens over August 17 - 19th around then (September 29 - October 7th)! This Mercury retrograde will stir up the most trouble for Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, Libra, Aries, Cancer, & Capricorn - particularly the degrees ranging from 21 - 29 (Virgo/Pisces & Gemini/Sagittarius) and 0 - 6 (Libra/Aries & Cancer/Capricorn). Check your natal charts to see where your Sun (or other planets, points, etc) lie in any of these signs to see how this Mercury retro will affect you (or let me do it for you! Online Consultations and Readings) .
On August 28th, Mercury enters its 'Storm' (this is when the planet moves less than 40 minutes of arc per day) so if you have a lot of things you need to get started, I advise you get it moving now...
