Ever since Mercury Retrograde ended last month, the planet of communication has been in pretty decent shapeyou've probably been thinking more clearly and (hopefully) staying on top of your sh*t. On August 19, Mercury enters its all-time favorite sign, Virgo, where it'll stay until September 5. During this transit, all things Mercury rules (like communication, transportation, and technology) are running even more efficientlywhich also means that youre starting to get way busier! Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are enjoying Mercury in Virgos time the most, while the mutable signs Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces might struggle to keep up with the pace.
Just a heads up: this isnt the most exciting transit. There are still a few days left in Leo season (AKA the biggest party of the year, from an astrological standpoint), but Mercury in Virgo is giving you a little sample of this upcoming Virgo seasons vibe. Meaning: youre staying busy, busy, busy. Virgo is one of the hardest-working signs, and since Mercury rules communication, you can expect more talks with your boss, more interaction between you and your coworkers, and tons of messages re: your careerwhich might mean the opportunity for a promotion/raise/new job! Youre more focused, and your critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities are higher, too. Basically, you're killing it at work.
But Mercury in Virgos benefits arent limited to your 9-to-5. You can apply your sharper mind and stronger sense of focus to your home and clean up all your sh*t. You can take that one personal goal youve had for a while (like learning a new language or starting your own Etsy shop) and actually work towards it. Virgo, as the sign of servitude, loves to help othersand you can use these vibes to offer support to a friend or S.O. who's dealing with drama, or to come up with some kickass plans to safely celebrate your Virgo friends bday.
Virgo is known as the zodiacs biggest perfectionist. With Mercury in Virgo, your attention to detail is spot-on, youre able to organize everything better (whether its your schedule, your work desk, or your entire home), and you can be a bit, well, critical of everything and everyone around you. Mercury is the brainiest planet, and when it's in Virgo, youre feeling more intellectual than emotional. Combined with Virgos sharp eye for detail, you risk coming off as nit-picky or judgmental. Be sensitive when youre dealing with other people, and youll do just fine.
