Mercury starts retrograde: horoscope for all zodiac signs for August 5-11

Mercury retrograde begins on August 5 and will continue through August 28. This is an unfavorable period for the signing of important documents and agreements, but it is good to finish the started cases and sort out the accumulated issues. Professional astrologer Xenia Basilenko specially for readers UNN prepared an astrological forecast and advice for the period from 5 to 11 August.

Mercury retrograde will begin from August 5 through August 28. During this period we will face difficulties in delaying information, there will be difficulties in communications, frequent postponement of meetings and constant tardiness, difficulties in learning and manual precision labor. This is an unfavorable period for signing important documents and agreements. Breakdowns of machinery may occur, and accidents will increase

But she noted that  this period of Mercury retrograde is good for finishing things that have been started, sorting out issues that have accumulated.

"This period is necessary for deep inner work on yourself. This is a good time to meet people you haven't seen for a long time. Finish  missed material, read the books that have been put off. And, of course, take your time. There will also be another very important and quite karmic event. The Ketu node, responsible for our karmic past, will conjunct the black moon Lilith, the planet of adversity in the sign of Libra. This sign will bring up negative situations from our past. The sign of Libra represents partnerships, relationships between spouses, it is also the state of internal justice and all legal legislative issues," said Basilenko.

The astrologer noted that it is now that everyone will bring up these topics in negative ways, especially when Mercury retrograde conjuncts Venus in the middle of the week, which will intensify the negative situation in personal relationships. Expect meetings with your exes.

"Our task is not to bring up accumulated resentments in family relationships, you should not go back to past relationships. In business relationships also do not go back to partners who betrayed you. It is better to refuse to sign important documents and papers. At the world level, honest negotiations are impossible during this period,"  told Basilenko.
