Mercury Enters Virgo
Mercury Enters Virgo
8th PST 23:50 / 9th AEST 16:50
Mercury enters Virgo, picking up where it left off on August 14/15. Second time is the charm! Although we have the details that we lacked a few weeks ago, we’ve also been humbled by Mercury’s retrograde reality check. After being called out for bluster or forced to backpedal overzealous statements or little white lies, we’re primed to confess to gaps in our knowledge. But most importantly, we’ll see that there’s no shame in this game. Lacking information isn’t a personal failure, but rather an invitation to learn.
Virgo season kicks into high gear now that the sun and Mercury are in the same sign. However, Mercury will make its passage through its domicile in just about two and a half weeks. That may seem like a short timeframe to maximize this transit’s full potential, but that’s not necessarily true. It’s more likely that we’ll slip into The Zone, tackling whatever tasks are on our plate at a healthy click. This could be your most efficient moment of the year! Expect a minor mishap on September 18 when Mercury opposes Saturn, fostering pessimism. Yet this obstacle can be quickly overcome. And while Mercury also clashes with Jupiter and Neptune during its travels, both mystical agents actually *answer* to Mercury now! The shorthand: we’ll handily resist the temptation to over-exaggerate and we’ll find it easier to recognize deceptive forces in our midst too!
And learn we will! Mercury in Virgo presents an excellent opportunity to pick up a new skill, deepen a course of study or resume abandoned projects with renewed focus and clarity. Streamline your schedule. Have the talk. Get into the conversational weeds. Your attention is unlikely to drift.
