It seems like whenever we hear about Mercury, it’s something negative-after all, how often do we complain about the effects of Mercury retrograde? But it’s time to change your tune when it comes to this little red planet. On September 22, Mercury goes direct, which will bring about positive energy and relieve some of the things we struggled with during Mercury retrograde. Maybe Mercury wouldn’t have such a bad rap if we were always feeling its direct effects! Here are a few things to look forward to when Mercury goes direct:
- You’ll feel refreshed and renewed!
Mercury retrograde probably forced you to slow down in some ways-for example, you might have avoided making travel plans or pursuing new business ventures. This might have been frustrating at the time, but in retrospect, you’ll see how it benefitted you. Now that you’ve had time to sit back, you’ll have plenty of energy to go full steam ahead and throw your heart and soul into any new projects!
- You’ll be busy.
Since you might have put a few things on hold during Mercury retrograde, you might find yourself playing catch up when Mercury goes direct. But that’s not a problem-you’ll never feel bored or sluggish, and you’re ready to come at all areas of your life with a newfound passion. So when you look at how packed your calendar is, take a moment to be grateful for every busy moment-if your work is truly important to you, this will be a time of professional and personal growth that you’ll come to cherish later.
- You won’t shy away from solving problems.
Mercury retrograde may have made you step back from some ongoing issues in your life, and you may have felt helpless when it came to actually fixing them. But now that you’ve seen them from a fresh perspective, you might find yourself coming up with effective solutions to problems that have plagued you for a while. Don’t underestimate your own ingenuity when Mercury goes direct-you could surprise yourself with what you come up with! Don’t feel pressured to “fix” every single little thing about your life, but know that you have the power inside of you to conquer anything. Don’t hold back!
- You’ll feel inspired to plan a trip somewhere new.
For those who strongly feel the effects of Mercury retrograde, traveling is seen as something to be strictly avoided. Missed flights, lost luggage, and travel scams are more common during this time. It can really suck the joy out of traveling, and even going somewhere that you’ve always dreamed about can turn into a complete ngithmare. But when Mercury goes direct, you might want to get out of your comfort zone and spontaneously book a flight to somewhere you’ve never been. Don’t fight the urge! Unlike Mercury retrograde, this is a perfect time to travel and explore new countries. Which destinations are at the top of your bucket list? Now’s the time to finally go see them! You’ll thank yourself once you’re getting off the plane.
