Aug 23-Sep 22 | Ruling Planet: Mercury
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) How could you have fallen short when you were so close? A review of your performance shows that everything was in place, so what happened? It's called Mercury retrograde. Famous for sprinkling flies in the ointment, Mercury retrograde takes great pleasure in upsetting our best-laid plans. And being your [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Everyone gets cold feet, but the drop in temperature on December 29th will be intolerable. It's so bad that you'll have no choice but to pull out of a negotiation, deal, or courtship. Mercury retrogrades aren't typically this severe, but there's something about what's happening that's making you act [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Securing a verbal agreement may feel disappointing - you prefer to have everything in writing - but it will have to do for now. You don't want to push for anything more when Mercury is about to turn retrograde. This spoken pledge allows you both to back out if [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) You've never been a big fan of last minute rescues. Deus ex machinas make you nervous. And it's not because of their unpredictable nature; it's because there's always a price to pay no matter how well things turn out. So when the Mercury/Uranus trine on December 16th produces the [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Mars retrograde at the top of your solar chart shows a superior in full retreat. It will be hard not to say "I told you so" as they didn't heed your warnings or listen to your advice. It's galling because this fiasco was preventable. Nevertheless what's done is done [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) You have to be strong. For weeks you've been everyone's support system - pushing them to push themselves; always on hand with advice or a reassuring word so it won't be easy on November 29th when the Mercury/retrograde Mars opposition deals you a setback. It's demoralizing for sure, but [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Is a smile and a handshake all it takes? Can things really be settled as simply as that? It's hard to imagine, but that's what happens when Mercury conjoins Venus in the affable sign of Sagittarius. That Jupiterian bonhomie infuses all exchanges, interactions, and arrangements with an agreeable and [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Mars at the top of your solar chart retrograding back into a square with Neptune on the 19th doesn't bode well. Not only was your faith in a superior misplaced, but it appears as if this person has been misleading you all along. Now one could say it's to [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Are you really going to walk out on everything you've built? It's tempting given the ferocity of this week's Mercury/Uranus opposition. You've had it with trying to find a middle ground. It's either their way or the highway as far as certain parties are concerned and they've no interest [...]
VIRGO (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21) Virgos aren't inclined to say that you've come too far to back out now. You're more likely to employ an exit strategy. Born under one of the shrewdest signs of the zodiac, you're an expert at identifying all the ins and outs of any situation before you sign on. [...]
