Mercury is in Virgo (again, but let us explain)

On September 9, Mercury enters Virgo, and you may feel more inspired than usual to share your thoughts, ideas, and worldview. How does this work? Hasn't it already been there? Actually, the planet had already entered the sign, but it was retrograde. Now it begins its forward movement through the pragmatic earth sign, bringing with it productive, critical, and supportive energy. Let’s dive deeper into what this means.

Mercury in Virgo: Meaning

Mercury is the planet of communication, transportation, and technology, and it influences how we connect with others, how we express ourselves, and how we think. Observing it is a great way to understand how our relationships with others will evolve over time, depending on the period and its transit. When Mercury spends time in Virgo, a mutable sign it governs, we tend to be more practical and eager to be useful. This influence makes us more meticulous and organized, more determined to pursue our goals. The downside? A tendency towards pedantry and anxiety.

What to Do and Avoid During Mercury in Virgo

This is a great time to focus on your personal growth, to take care of yourself and others, and to advance your projects and career. You can optimize your daily routine, find a balance between work and personal life, and maybe even start a new sport. However, be cautious not to become too hypercritical. Focusing too much on details might cause you to lose sight of the bigger picture, which isn’t ideal. Boost your productivity, but don't forget to make time for leisure!
