Mercury turns retrograde in Libra, and the retrograde lasts until October 18. The pre-retrograde shadow began on September 6 and the post-retrograde shadow ends on November 2.

This retrograde can expose secrets and scandals and add anxiety to your life. Take extra time for yourself to avoid any issues, and give yourself extra room for projects and travel. Be gentle with yourself and others. Say hello to ghosts from the past. And make sure to back up your work.

Think before you speak or send texts. You could accidentally spill the beans on a secret a friend told you. One impulsive communication could lead to a confrontation with someone you care about. Being careful will help to ensure minimal drama in your friendships over the next few weeks.

Right now, your focus is on building your empire. Instead of counting dollars, focus on the bigger picture. You could find that opportunities flow freely if you disengage from the minutiae and put your energy into the grand scheme of projects. Opportunities are on the way, so be patient!

Remember that it’s okay to take a step back and chill. You’ll find that some relaxation is exactly what you need in order to decompress. When the whole world is busy, you’ll be happily unwinding at home with a hot bath, massage, and some much-needed downtime.

Today’s Grand Air trine, involving the Moon, Jupiter, and (the now retrograding) Mercury, lends a cheerful note to today’s atmosphere. Nonetheless, there is little in this atmosphere to produce any lasting insights or solid understanding. We may believe that we have reached a point where we can take bold risks but any lack of responsibility or lack of understanding will be quickly exposed. We are extremely vulnerable to believing that we know more than we can actually demonstrate. The process by which knowledge grows into wisdom is far more mysterious than we can comprehend. If we can maintain enough humility to simply stay with the process and listen, we will make far more progress than we can imagine. The Moon goes void-of-course at 9:18 PM PDT this evening.

DAILY ORACLE

Not everyone will appreciate you; many people have issues of their own to address, and you may trigger something in them, but if so, no matter. Skunk Spirit calls you to be fully yourself, without apology.

Now is a time for honesty and admitting that something does not sit right for you. You deserve the self-respect that comes when you courageously choose to stand up for yourself and speak your truth in love.

Remember who you are and what really matters to you, and act with integrity. You will be so glad you did.

The numerology number 54 could be thought of as similar to an adventurous number 9.

The numerology essence of the number 54 has similarities to the number 9’s compassion, tolerance, and humanitarian inclination. In addition to the number 9 essence, however, 54 tends to follow whim. It has an urge to be adventurous, yet is pragmatic and tries to focus and be reliable.

The essence of the number 54 is continually focused on making life better for people. It isn’t always effective, as it also has an inner urge to express its sense of personal freedom.

54 has little, if any, judgement of lifestyles, societal expectations, religious beliefs, and political practices — in fact, it revels in the first-hand experience of a wide variety of cultures.

A number’s meaning can be thought of as the number’s basic tone or vibration. As an overview, the numerology number 54 represents a composite energy containing the ideas of:

Humanitarianism
Compassion
Wit
