VIRGO (Aug. 22 – Sept. 21)
Put off answering any bid, offer, or counteroffer – no matter how tempting. Mercury retrogrades are famous for throwing a Cosmic monkey wrench into our most carefully laid plans, but it’s the retrograde Mercury/Venus conjunction on September 26th that appears most worrisome. Either someone’s trying to sweet talk you into accepting a deal that’s far beneath what you should be getting or they’re making promises or assurances that they’re not in a position to make. In any case you’ll want to wait until both Venus and Mercury enter the zodiac sign of Libra (that’s on September 29th and October 10th respectively) before agreeing to anything.
