VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
At first you’ll feel like you need to race to catch up. Ruling Planet Mercury coming out of retrograde on September 15th – and so far behind the New Moon in Virgo – brings a sense of urgency and panic. But losing the lead to a rival could be advantageous. You may see something they’ve missed – like a loose end left dangling, an overlooked technicality, or a disaster waiting to happen. The gift of a Mercury retrograde is in its do-over. Being forced to travel back over the same ground gives you a fresh assessment of a familiar situation and that’s your secret weapon.
