We are at this point again: The last Mercury retrograde of the year is making its appearance fully at the end of August. Right now we are in the so called shadow period when things slow down, as the energy of Mercury intensifies noticeably.

Much feared and misunderstood for its so called communication issues, Mercury retrograde offers massive learning opportunities.

As if that weren’t good enough this particular Mercury retrograde has another benefit

It is passing through a relatively rare constellation where Venus is joining up with Jupiter in Mercury.

This event occurs every 12 years.  For the next two weeks, starting August 25th we will see the benign energy of Venus coupled with the beneficial luck and entrepreneuring energy of Jupiter in impeccable Virgo. The retrograde Mercury intensifies this beneficial super constellation.

Now is the time to become more creative and look at new ideas, new approaches to your trading.

Do so not from a linear mindset, but from the creative, intuitive side which activates the joyfulness in our brains. This is the supportive energy you are looking for to make positive changes. In fact, when you are in that state positive changes are effortless. New approaches and opportunities will present themselves to you and all you have to do is listen within and follow the call to action.

Don’t allow old outdated self doubts and fear of trying something new stand in your way during this time of heightened mental awareness.

If you follow your inner guidance you may reap huge benefits for your trading which will remain with you for years to come.

This is how the energies are right now.  We are all given opportunities to set the stage for a better future which will set direction for the next decade of our (trading) lives.  Listen to the inner voice and take action. The universe has your back.
