Your Guide To September’s Chaotic Mercury Retrograde

September’s Mercury retrograde is almost upon us. Beginning Sept. 9, expect miscommunication, travel hiccups, and relationship tension until the chatty planet stations direct on Oct. 2. With Mercury entering Libra and Virgo, you'll want to bring balance with these do’s and don'ts.
