In Libra
Mercury in Libra is associated with proportion and the other chair. Retrograde here is traditionally a re-weighing of agreements, not a personality of indecision.
What “retrograde” means here
From Earth, Mercury’s apparent motion along the ecliptic sometimes slows, stops, and runs backward for about three weeks. The engine calls a station the instant that apparent longitude speed crosses zero. This is an astronomical fact. It is not a verdict on your week.
