On Sunday 19 August 2018 NZT we are about to have Mercury go direct...expect communication lines to open up again.  We have all had lots of reviewing and revisiting of the past...no doubt some sort of technology breakdowns too!  As Mercury is the planet that helps us communicate our thoughts and deliver our communication (whether in person or using technology), when it is retrograde it makes us internalize our thoughts and makes us very introspective over that period. Mercury has taken us over old thought patterns that you may have glossed over, and has made you look deeper look into things (possibly addressing an issue you never got around to). For the collective, this Mercury retrograde has asked us to look at issues to do with self love, self expression and how we communicate love.  There may have been a creative project or idea that has resurrected during the last 3 weeks.   Rest assured we will all feel things slowly move forward again...we do still have a lot of planets retrograde, so do not push things yet!  This weekend you may notice plans change...I would recommend planning as little as possible.  Reach out if you would like a reading :)
