Another big moment in August lifts off today as Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo – its home sign and sign of exaltation!
Then, on August 14, Mercury moves into Leo where it stations direct again on August 28.
- This promises to be an especially potent, fruitful and creative Mercury retrograde!
- Mercury begins at 4° Virgo, making it a major opportunity to cement goals, initiate productive changes and make it all real.
Mercury helps us to process and share information, so its retrograde launch in Virgo brings nine days to deeply integrate all we need to know and make decisions with confidence.
Once in Leo, Mercury will be under the rulership of the Sun (which governs Leo) and ONLY form positive aspects with other planets!
Your integration of information will light up your HEART as you relax and reflect…
Venus will be especially helpful in relaxing you and bringing harmony and pleasure – since Venus will enter Leo just as Mercury begins to retrograde in that sign on August 14.
In particular, Mercury will focus on meticulous attention to detail and healing (Virgo), how you get a message across, and feeling the eternal presence of energy waves.
Aim to lighten up your schedule in order to reap the benefits of this stunning retrograde – which truly is an UPGRADE!
- Focus on self-care, nurturing, inner growth and relaxation.
Healing hurts and pain will be especially favored.
Virgo is detail-oriented, so you will be prompted to fulfill everyday responsibilities – especially ones you put on the back-burner.
This is a wonderful retrograde for research and editing anything that requires more balance.
Virgo seeks practical solutions, so now is a great time to watch for and address any tendency to worry.
Instead of saying or thinking you are “worried”, consider replacing the word with “concerned”.
- A concern seeks to be addressed in order to find a solution… a worry is an irrational fear and not solution-oriented.
Plus, at this time Mercury will prompt you to reflect on how you use technology and transportation to keep your life running smoothly.
Mercury loves short distance travel, so while retrograding in the Earth sign of Virgo, Mercury will hone in on locations for you to visit that help ground your energy and explore Earth’s natural riches.
Have a magnificent and magical Mercury Retrograde!
Love and Blessings,
Tania Gabrielle
