MERCURY RE-ENTERS VIRGO 09 SEPTEMBER 2024 and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury returns to its home sign of Virgo after a brief retrograde stay in Leo. Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Mercury rules Virgo and it is also the sign where it finds its exaltation. Mercury also rules Gemini, here it collects any information it can lay its hands on, in Virgo however only information that can be useful is searched for and retained to be later used in a creative and practical [...]
NEW MOON IN VIRGO Are all the details out in the open? On the 2-3rd of this month (depending in which part of the world you are) there will be a New Moon at 11°04’ Virgo, a Mutable, Earth sign ruled by Mercury (antiscion 18°56’ Aries). A lunation chart with only one planet (Mercury) in the Fire element and heavy (6 planets) in the Mutable signs. This may indicate a lack of optimism but a need to have one’s opinions respected at the same time (Mercury in Leo) together with being overyielding and too malleable (Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Mars in Mutable signs – as well as Saturn [...]
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance. This rationalisation or intellectualisation of what we most treasure takes away something from our intrinsic affectional make-up thus making us appear “cold”, irritable and highly strung. Virgo needs to express love in a practical way so how about cooking something delicious for our loved ones or treating [...]
MERCURY IN VIRGO and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury slips into its home sign of Virgo for only a brief stay before stationing retrograde at 04°06 Virgo (antiscion 25°54’ Aries) on 4-5 August. On its backward journey it will return to Leo on 14 August to station direct at 21°24’ Leo (antiscion 08°36’ Taurus) on 28 August, re-entering to the sign of Virgo on 9 September. Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Mercury rules Virgo and it is also the sign where it [...]
FULL MOON IN VIRGO 7 MARCH 2023 Don’t get too wrapped up in the details... This Full Moon will occur at 16°40’ Virgo (antiscion 13°20’ Aries). Moon’s dispositor Mercury entered the sign of Pisces only 5 days ago and Saturn will change signs to enter Pisces less than an hour after this Full Moon. While the Elements in this lunation are well-balanced, there is a heavy Mutable emphasis denoting restlessness and the desire to rush into the “what’s next” regardless. Mercury, dispositor of this detail-oriented Moon and in the early degrees of sign of Pisces, has just [...]
Mercury will station retrograde on the 13th October at 11°40’ Scorpio (antiscion 18°20’ Aquarius). The retrograde period will end on the 3rd November at 25°53’ Libra (antiscion 4°07’ Pisces) Mercury is in opposition to retrograde Uranus in Taurus so we could expect some upsets as these two fixed signs are occupied by two of the most unpredictable and excitable planets. There will be three passes of this aspect, all at 9° Scorpio-Taurus so anyone with planets or angles between 7-12° of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will be involved in this aspect. What [...]
