3 Things That Every Zodiac Must Pay Attention To In The Next 3 Weeks
Between August 23 and September 15, Mercury will retrograde in Virgo, marking the beginning of a three-week review period regarding details, information, and communication.
Lasting about three weeks, this so-called “communication crisis” has a way of bringing up unresolved dramas from your past, especially if a conversation has been left “unopened” for too long. Mercury finds joy in making our lives as uncomfortable as possible. You can expect an increase in delays, frustrations, misunderstandings, and even technological incidents. And when Mercury is retrograde, plans are rarely set in stone, so it’s not the most ideal time to sign contracts or make life-changing decisions.
What does Mercury retrograde in Virgo mean?
Since this retrograde begins in Virgo, the mutable earth sign associated with logic, hard work, health, analysis, competence, and intelligence, it could cause many of your plans to come to a sudden halt. Although Mercury is the planet that rules Virgo – which lessens the negative impact – you can expect this experience to force you to go back to basics and rebuild your universe. It’s time to make things a little more organized and efficient because Virgo is looking for large doses of information that can be processed in a meaningful way.
During this retrograde, until mid-September, you can discover more things about yourself and think about what changes would bring you joy. By choosing a new and unexplored path, you discover a lot about life.
Let’s see how Mercury retrograde influences you according to your sign, with three things you need to pay attention to, according to astrologers.
Aries
Being retrograde in the sixth house of your health and work, Mercury urges you to take a look at your habits and routines.
- It’s time to reevaluate the methods, regime, and rituals you live by. This retrograde could also create confusion at work, perhaps even forcing you to return to unfinished projects that have been worrying you.
- Take advantage of the next period to learn how you can work more orderly and efficiently.
- The advice of astrologers is not to be too hard on yourself in the next period. Don’t think too much about the process, because everything starts with a first step.
Taurus
Mercury will be retrograde in your fifth house of pleasure, lust, and creativity, which could reduce the intensity of your current relationship.
- The next period will come with many experiences that will inspire you and ignite your heart again.
- This retrograde will encourage you to reflect on whether your activities in the last period have satisfied you or if you have reached the limit in terms of your work or hobbies.
- Astrologers recommend that you think about a change that will bring more joy to your soul but wait until after September 15 to implement it.
Gemini
You will reevaluate the way you communicate and process your thoughts, especially when it comes to home and family issues.
- As Mercury retrogrades in the home and family sector of your chart, it encourages you to heal your relationship with your roots while nurturing the new roots you’ve planted. Home can be the place we come from, but it is also the place we reach when we develop spiritually.
- The lessons that this retrograde gives you will be of great help to you until the end of this year, so be aware of what happens to you.
- The advice of astrologers is to pay attention to how you communicate with your loved ones, especially your family.
Cancer
This retrograde will take place in your third house of communication, which could bring up conversations that did not end in the best way.
- It would be good to weigh your words very carefully because you might regret some conversations held in the next period. Silence will be golden.
- The main thing to remember is to triple-check all correspondence and make sure you back up important documents, as technical errors can be unavoidable.
- The advice of astrologers is to keep your mind busy in the next three weeks. It is recommended to take a course or to deepen an area in which you want to excel.
Leo
You’ve been through some intense internal changes lately, especially as Venus continues its retrograde through Leo until September 3rd. This may mean that your relationships and your self-image are going through a major change as you reevaluate your values.
- This retrograde takes place in your second house of stability and self-esteem and can make you feel that you need something that you cannot satisfy. However, it will challenge you to reevaluate what you align your values with.
- If you wanted to restructure your budget, now is a good time to do so. The detail-oriented nature of this downgrade will facilitate financial management.
- Astrologers recommend not to rush and give yourself time to receive the good things in your life.
Virgo
Taking place in your first house of self, the retrograde of Mercury in your sign brings pressure and quite a lot of stress.
- The next three weeks will help you establish your true identity. Have you been on the back burner lately? Who are you and what do you want? It’s time to remember who you’ve always been, especially if you’ve put that person aside in favor of someone else’s needs.
- This retrograde will be a busy period with different responsibilities and obligations, so try to do your best not to overwork yourself or burden yourself with tasks.
- The advice of astrologers is to give up perfectionism and try to penetrate more inside yourself, trying to find out what would make you truly happy.
Libra
Mercury retrogrades in your spiritual 12th house starting August 23rd, which could put you face to face with your shadow self. Don’t forget, the shadow self does not represent the negative aspects of the personality, nor the positive ones, because it simply represents all the parts that remain subconscious, unseen, and unrealized.
- Although you may feel quieter and more reserved during this period, this break from the social scene also gives your subconscious a chance to put together what still doesn’t make sense and to process everything you’ve been feeling and experiencing.
- This detail-oriented period is an excellent time to turn your attention inward, before the start of your season. Although it is inevitable to do a lot of self-analysis now, try not to get too consumed with your shortcomings.
- Astrologers recommend using the retrograde to do different practices to increase self-esteem, such as meditation, therapy, or even sports.
Scorpio
Mercury retrograde talks about the process of reconnecting with old colleagues, acquaintances, and teammates with whom you have lost touch.
- You will have a lot to learn about relationships that have fallen apart in the past.
- You can also expect a reconciliation with a former partner or you will simply have a surprise from a past lover.
- The advice of astrologers is to highlight your hopes and ideals, rethinking your vision of the future and how you want it to look.
Sagittarius
This month, you will reevaluate your professional activities, because Mercury is retrograde in your 10th career house, starting on August 23.
- It’s time to think outside the box when it comes to issues related to your social position and your public image because you can’t always rely on appearances.
- As this Mercury retrograde unfolds, you will be motivated to look for solutions related to the things that displease you in your job, even trying to change your career.
- Astrologers advise you not to make any sudden moves and not to make dramatic decisions until after September 15, 2023.
Capricorn
Mercury will be retrograde in your ninth house of travel and expansion starting August 23. This could confuse your inner compass and lead you down an unexpected path, so embrace the delays that force you to set out on a new path.
- It’s a good time to reconsider the mottos and perspectives you currently live by. This could be the moment to introduce a new perspective in your life or take a trip that will broaden your horizons.
- Although this period may come with some uncertainty, it is important not to worry too much about perfection now. Life outside your usual routine can teach you a lot.
- The advice of astrologers is to have the courage to let yourself be carried away by the wave and give up the desire to be in control permanently.
Aquarius
You will reevaluate your limits in relationships this month because Mercury makes you look at your relationships with different eyes, especially loved ones.
- You will also explore the darkest taboos of your life during this retrograde because the eighth house is where all your deepest secrets reside. You may now have the courage to talk to your partner about things you’ve kept to yourself.
- The financial aspect is also concerning because this 8th house represents transitions. You will financially help someone in need or save for yourself.
- The advice of astrologers is to be frugal in the next period and not to do excesses of any kind.
Pisces
It’s time to evaluate your entire understanding of harmony, as Mercury will retrograde in your seventh house of partnerships on August 23. This could bring to the surface the trauma of a broken heart and previous disappointments in your partnerships.
- Mercury retrograde comes with powerful lessons for your soul, so prepare to both suffer and learn from them.
- It’s time to start processing how much you’ve progressed lately. Look back and see how much has changed compared to a year or two ago. This three-week process will help you heal any wounds from the past.
- Astrologers recommend not to get too consumed with the problems that other people are facing now, because you will empathize too much and take over their suffering. It’s time to be a little selfish.
