Mercury Retrograde – Healing the past
Yes, it’s that time again Mercury is going retro from 20th August until September 12th 2010. Mercury retrograde (going backwards) can be a challenging time. Communication can get sticky and the best laid plans can go awry. I am a great believer in what you believe you create so always try look atthings from a positive point of view. This month’s Mercury flip is in Virgo,the planet of order and perfection. Perhaps something from your past needs to be untangled? Is there a loose end that needs to be tied before you can embrace a new path? Paying attention to the details is always important with Mercury retrograde, but as it is in pernickety Virgo you should check and recheck anything such as contracts or emails before you sign. If you’re tempted to send someone an indiscreet or angry email it’s best to hold fire until after September as it could come back to haunt you in the future. The gift of all this is to make us stand in the moment and understand that the moment counts. What you do now in this moment ripples into the future and effects the creation of the next step of your life! As we are now will it be!
Turning your energy into something positive and magical now rather than surrendering to frustration or annoyance should pay off big dividends next month. Mercury retrograde in Virgo wants you to be honest with yourself, but you might find yourself slipping into being self critical. Add to this Jupiter,Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are also retrograde at the moment so as a whole we have the chance to understand more about our own past and who we were back then. This may feel quite painful or challenging. Where you have come from, who you were and who you are now are all of course inter-related, but sometimes looking back to past mistakes, relationships and experiences can be taintedby guilt and doubt rather than us seeing them as the rungs of the ladder that led us to who and where we are now. Sending love, forgiveness and support to yourself in the past can help heal you in the present and encourage you in the future. The past is the fertilizer that grew us and by understanding it we set ourselves free.
Loving and accepting you as you are is essential and this retrograde shines a flash of light into your relationship to yourself. Knowing you are lovable and as valuable as all others can help ease Virgo’s penetrating stare of perfection. Forgive the past, embrace this moment and make a commitment to be the best you can be.
Much love and a ton of good vibes

Fantastic Article – Thank you!
You offer so much inspiration in your articles and messages. Thank you!
Brilliant – Thankyou
This makes a lot of sense to me with what has just happened in my life and i am really tempted to send an anfry email or text to the person concerned bit after reading your article i have decided not to. Thanks x
Thanks, Michele.
I've noticed that with Mercury retro some people get so psyched about the concept of communications going wrong, that they seem to almost make it happen! It's really nice to see a perspective that shows what the positive angle on this occurence is, and to be reminded that retrogrades are essentially about introspection and hence the potential for transformation, and that the perception of things 'going wrong' can be turned around into an insight into how better to approach them, and also that there are times for pushing forward and times for stepping back.
Blessings, Love & Light to you and all. x
hi, this is interesting. I am going through a tough time with secondary cancer at the mo, and am, surprise surprise a virgo! I have been going through my life to try and find what it is I need to address to move forward; all to no avail, I really need some clues here. Help!
Thank you for an inspiring article. There certainly was a loose end I had to clear up before I could move on. A loose end that festered in me for about 18 months. Just before reading this article an opportunity came up for me to put my point of view across. Which I did. I feel a lot lighter for having done this. Thanks again.
As always Michelle, you are an inspiration- Thankyou!!! xxx
amazing………..wish I had read this before sending an angry email …lol……although it will make sure the past stays in the past!
Thank you michelle xxx
A huge THANK YOU :-) xxx
Thank you for this article…funny enough, even before reading it, I felt this is the time for closure for me in reference to a certain situation. Thank you stars, for making this much easier… :) xx
Thats great
Very very interesting and has confirmed what I alwayys thought about the past, and how you can change your own future. (to some degree), or at least feel more n control of your future by being more positive in your emotions.
This is very interesting as a number of people had been trying to get hold of me a few days before but mixed up my phone nos etc… eventually they succeeded in contacting me, ironically on the 20th itself, which is quite fascinating, as I would have thought it would have been the opposite. Perhaps then this is a sign that it will be a good one for me this time! Usually Mercury Retro. periods, affect me very much, and all communications go wrong for me.
Hi, thanks for email on mercury retrograde, still reading it everyday to absorb more, thanks heaps Have a good day. Karen
Hi
Maybe you are too close to find what you need to look at and hope you have not been 'thinking' too much about things, maybe using your intuition and tuning into your feelings may help you find what you need to and don't forget to be truly kind to yourself.

So sorry to hear that Sam, wish you all the best on your journey. I guess the thing you need to know is that you are fantastic and deserve to find peace and happiness. When times are hard remember the motion of life is like the sea, roll with it and you will always float.

I tend to let the past go, and move on. don't waste time and energy, dwelling on it. However I can be self critical at times, because I want to be the best I can be at whatever I do, but accept I am far from perfect.
Sorry Sam, about you having secondary cancer. I send love, prayers and healing energy to you.
