VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Children of Mercury are transactional by nature. It comes from being born under the planet of buying and selling. Like your sibling sign Gemini, you’re happy to give to get to attain your goal. Usually it’s as straightforward as it sounds except for the Mercury/ Venus Retrograde conjunction on July 27th. These planets will be brushing shoulders as they pass in the sky – Mercury moves forward into your sign while Venus retreats into your solar 12th. Translation? Make sure that that inside scoop, favor, or juicy tip isn’t in reality a poisoned chalice – something that looks good in the moment but could prove fatal later.
