Mercury goes retrograde this week (Monday, Sept. 7 at 12:44 am US Eastern time, to be exact) thru Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 9:13 am. Benjamin and guest co-host Spiritsong tell you how best to work with it, as well as the week's other major transits: Venus opposing Jupiter , Pluto stationing direct , and Neptune quincunxing Saturn ! In Part 2, Spiritsong gives a much-anticipated update on the latest developments in her life.
