A week with some changes. Our Sun enters the sign of Virgo – hello, Virgo! In addition, Mercury will be retrograde from August 23rd to September 15th.

For the next 29 days, Virgo energy will dominate the sky. Virgo is a sign that has the mutable quality of the Earth element, meaning it is always adapting and improving. Therefore, this energy can lean towards perfectionism.

This new cycle will focus on practicality, order and pragmatism, especially in regards to your routine and daily life.

How does Virgo affect us?

The sign teaches us that we can improve in our tasks, strive for efficiency, and dedicate body and mind to the present moment. This is an invitation to focus on the present.

Therefore, we will be encouraged to incorporate healthy habits into our daily lives in search of well-being.

Attention Mercury Retrograde!

On the same day, Mercury goes into retrogradation. From an astronomical point of view, this happens when the planet is closest to the Earth, giving the illusion of a “reverse” movement. However, this does not happen physically.

In astrology, this period represents a revision and slowdown of the archetype (sign) in which the planet is located. In this case, a retrogradation will occur in the Virgo archetype, affecting all signs. However, the most significant changes will occur in the astrological house where Virgo is in your birth chart.

In astrology, it symbolizes how we collect, store and express information. It represents our intellectual mind. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so Mercury is comfortable in this sign.

We will be asked to reconsider what we want to keep in our routine, separating what is healthy from what is not. It is important to pay more attention to traffic and possible communication failures.

Check again, and if you don’t know how to answer right away, take a moment to catch your breath. Respect your body and take the time to care for it and your mind by engaging in uplifting activities such as reading fiction instead of work or negative news, listening to uplifting music, playing with pets, scheduling doctor visits, and staying hydrated.

A great time for all of us. Hugs and be sure to subscribe to my Instagram!
