#HDhoroscope | Mercury Rx | 9.9 - 10.2.2022

Welcome to your Human Design Guide to #mercuryretrograde 

Mercury is the ruler of communication and intellect, and from tomorrow until October 2nd, will activate the following three Human Design gates/Gene Keys:

9.9 - 9.19: Gate 18, the Gate of Correction

Mercury travels back through Gate 18, the Gate of Correction, asking us to get honest about what is working and what is falling short, not only at an individual level, but especially within our communities and for the collective. Gate 18 has a knack for noticing patterns, so pay attention to feelings of deja vu, and use those instances as an opportunity to get curious. 

9.19-9.24: Gate 46, the Gate of Determination of the Self

Mercury moves into Gate 46, the Gate of Determination of the Self. Gate 46 is one of four "how we love" gates of the Self Center. Two of those gates explore how we love others, and Gate 46 and Gate 10 probe how we love ourselves. During this transit, pay close attention to your intuitive voice. What is your body trying to tell you? And are you advocating for her?

9.24-10.2: Gate 6, the Gate of Friction

For the last stretch of this retrograde period, Mercury moves into Gate 6, the Gate of Friction. Gate 6 is all about how we cultivate and develop all kinds of intimacy with others. During this time, get curious about your patterns around sharing about yourself (how much do you share? how freely? with whom?) and how you hold space for what others share with you.
