In case you’ve been living under a rock, ‘Mercury retrograde’ is the phrase on everyone’s lips right now. And for good reason, it has the power to change—in both positive and negative ways—your life during this retrograde period. But what actually is it and how will it potentially affect you and your starsign?

App-ropriate.

You want to do things differently this year? You will! Change is the ONLY certainty in 2021, but this month, staying realistic about how fast it can all happen is essential. Shaking up everything at once just isn’t practical, so start small and break up your game plan into bite-sized pieces.

This month we’re getting a major upgrade, with two planets (Saturn and Jupiter) changing signs. Expect a major vibe change—a little less heavy, and a little more heady; less “hard no” and more “how do we fix this?”. On the 22nd a major cosmic reset begins a new 200-year cycle that’s more focused on information, communication, ideas and data.

Progress, energy, resolve, it’s all coming in hot this month, but not in the way you expect. Left-of-centre ideas, chance meetings, unexpected news—it’s anything-could-happen (with the occasional WTF) territory, especially mid-month. 

We are in deep this month, with not one but two retrogrades (Mars and Mercury) keeping things very interesting. If you ignored the “slow down” memo last month, there’ll be no avoiding it once Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio on 14 October. With our mental and physical faculties operating at half speed, the time for introspection is upon us. All the “re” words are your October mantras. Reflect, reassess, review and recalibrate. Resist the urge to make drastic changes and use the time to figure out what it is you really want.

Big Deck Energy.

A wise man by the name of John (last name, Farnham) once said…“Take the pressure down…‘Cos I can feel it, rising like a storm". There’s every chance Farnsy was having a premonition of September 2020 when he penned those fateful words. Whichever way you look at it, this month is tricky. On 10 September, Mars turns retrograde, which means all the things Mars rules (aggression, motivation, desire, assertiveness) will be a bit unwieldy. The vibe is intensified by another bit of difficult astro weather (Saturn square Mars) which peaks around 29 September. It all adds up to major frustration. The lack of progress and/or inability to get on with things will really start to grind your gears. 

We’ll admit it. We’re straight up obsessed with all things mystical, magical and spiritual. We live and breathe our horoscopes and with 2020 being the absolute rollercoaster that is it, we reckon we could all do with a bit more guidance in our lives right now. Which is why we’re launching our very own astro hub led by astrologer, mindfulness meditation teacher and co-founder of The Wayward, Emma Vidgen.
