Mercury is moving into Virgo on July 28, and is staying in the sign until October 4! It is a rarity for Mercury to stay in one sign for so long. This is due to an upcoming Mercury Retrograde. Luckily, Mercury is happy in Virgo and this extra attention to detail will help us out.
Mercury is in its ruling sign of Virgo, which makes it more powerful and efficient. Virgo is a sign that is associated with order, detail, and practicality, so it is a great time to focus on these things. This transit can be helpful for getting things done. It’s a good time to get organized and declutter, take care of practical matters, and complete projects that require attention to detail.
When Mercury is in Virgo, our minds are sharp and analytical. We are able to focus on details and see things clearly. This can be a great time for work, school, or any other task that requires precision and attention to detail. We may also be more critical and detail-oriented during this time. This can be helpful in proofreading work or completing tasks that require accuracy.
However, Mercury in Virgo can also be a time of stress and anxiety. We may be overly critical of ourselves and others, and we may find it difficult to relax. This is because Virgo is a sign of perfectionism, and we may feel like we need to do everything perfectly.
It's important to be mindful of your stress levels and take breaks when needed. If you find yourself feeling stressed or anxious during Mercury in Virgo, try to relax and take things one step at a time. Try to focus on the positive aspects of this transit. Focus on the task at hand, and don't worry about the things that are out of your control. And remember, it's okay to make mistakes. Everyone does it. And remember, this transit is only temporary!
Mercury in Virgo can also help us to be more organized and efficient in our communication. We may be more likely to double-check our work and make sure that everything is accurate. We may also be more likely to organize our thoughts and communicate them clearly. This can be helpful during Mercury’s Retrograde, which can be a time of confusion and miscommunication. If we are taking care of things during this transit, we can avoid issues during Retrograde. Reviewing, revising, reminding, and redoing are all great things to do while Mercury is in Virgo, and even during Retrograde.
Mercury’s Retrograde is from August 23 through September 15th. We will look further into the details of Mercury’s Retrograde when it gets a little closer.
