Mercury is retrograde from 12 Aug 2017 to 5 Sep.
Mercury being in the sign of Virgo, it is an excellent time to organize, simplify To Do lists so they work on a daily basis, clean up and get rid of clutter (old clothes, books, utensils etc), editing your writings, adding spell checks and grammar errors, and do research on existing work.
On the positive side, many of the plans of leaders will fail and not go through to fruition. This is one of the times when Mercury Retrograde may be a saving grace for the world in terms of disrupting the war rhetoric.
However, with Mer opp Nep, it is only a boom to fake news, and media outlets like CNN will continue to mislead the public. One of the most dangerous themes going on is when ex FBI and CIA officers are hired as "experts" by news outlets and stir up fear mongering amongst an unsuspecting public.
In terms of Word Events, Mercury retrograde can be dangerous as there is miscommunication and misunderstandings which can lead to false alerts or actions. Negotiations will break down and the only sane voice will be from Chinese and Russian leaders

There is an amazing phenomenon happening on 21 Aug 2017 where right in the middle of the day it will become night and you will see stars for a short duration as the Moon covers the Sun completely and you have a total Eclipse of the Sun!
The Sun, Moon and Mars being in the sign of Leo marks a very important showdown for politicians like Donald Trump who are born with Mars in Leo in the first house and are sensitive to ego conflicts. They will become bolder and will not back down in their words.
From the transits point of view, this means that both the Sun and the Moon will be affecting your chart. Whether it is positive or not depends on how they were aspected the rest of the planets when you were born.
Jupiter is in Libra from Sep 2016 till 9th Oct 2017.
This is the sign of peace treaties and we are hoping Donald Trump (who was born with Jupiter in Libra), will herald a new policy of peace and harmony around the world rather than a continuation of war and hassles.
Saturn in Sagittarius indicates major reforms in immigration before mid-Dec 2017. Illegal immigration will be curtailed and new laws implemented to restrict the number and more scrutiny placed on immigrants from the Middle East (Sag countries).
