Let Chaos Reign: Mercury Retrograde in Virgo, August 23

Mercury, in Astrology, represents communication and our thought process — but also our friendships, our collaborations, and our ability to learn new things. The planet goes retrograde approximately 3-4 times a year, striking a lot of fear in people’s hearts! The truth is, that under the possible miscommunications, chaos and frustration Mercury Retrograde can bring, these periods are a great time to slow down and consider whether the direction we’re headed toward is still aligned with our greatest good.

This latest Mercury Retrograde window begins on August 23, just as the Sun enters the sign of Virgo, and ends on September 15. Because Mercury rules Virgo, this is a gentler retrograde. You should still expect some delays, and cancellations, or drifting apart with friends and co-workers — but as long as you accept this is happening for you, not to you, you’ll emerge stronger.

Read on to find out how Mercury Retrograde in Virgo will impact your daily life.

Aries

You should reassess your habits: start treating your body better, make time for exercise and meditation. Or you’ll crash.

Taurus

If a creative project or a relationship no longer brings joy, distance yourself from it. Something new will come!

Gemini

Disagreements with roommates or family push you to find a new living arrangement. Be extra picky with your choice.

Cancer

Choose your words wisely, especially your written words. People can be quick to misunderstand you these days. Pay attention.

Leo

To have an abundant life in the future, you’re called to reexamine your spending. Find ways to save money.

Virgo

With Mercury retrograde in your sign, you’re reconfiguring what makes you tick. Don’t be afraid to transform your life.

Libra

Your memories and past trauma can weigh you down… or help you navigate the future. The choice is yours.

Scorpio

Feeling left out in your group of friends? You’ve probably outgrown them. Find a new community that “gets” you.

Sagittarius

Thinking outside the box in your career is exactly what you should be doing now. Carve your own path.

Capricorn

You may need to cancel or delay travel plans, but it’s for the better. Your priorities are changing, anyway.

Aquarius

Be very careful with money during this time, particularly money you share with other people. Keep track of everything.

Pisces

Your relationship has come so far already — yet you still have ways to go. Be patient and seek compromise.
