mercury rx in virgo • september 23, 2022 - october 2, 2022
overview: mercury continues to go retrograde as it has now reverted back into the sign of virgo on september 23, 2022 at 7:04 AM CST. mercury goes direct on october 2, bringing the last mercury retrograde of 2022 to a close. this is a time to review our plans and see if we missed any important details. we are tweaking our schedules so that we aren't drained and causing burnout for ourselves. how can we work smarter, not harder? if you've been meaning to have a conversation with someone, don't hold it off any longer. stop procrastinating! this is a time where you want to get all the stuff you've been procrastinating done. take a breather - urgency is a trauma response, don't play! if you've experiencing negative thoughts and going through mental battles between you and yourself (mars being in gemini doesn't help), journal your negative thoughts and burn them. i hate to break it to you, but most of your worries are an illusion. what can you eliminate from your life in order to bring in more peace?
advice: this is a favorable time for late degree earth placements (taurus, virgo, capricorn) - use this time to be really productive. it will really pay off! this is a tense + dynamic time for late degree mutable placements (gemini, virgo, sagittarius, pisces) - things may get mentally chaotic. handle one thing at a time and give yourself room to make decisions without being rushed. this is a period of opportunity for late degree cancer + scorpio placements - prioritize showing up for yourself and standing up for yourself in conversations where people may be trying to take advantage of you. use this opportunity to develop your sense of self-worth.
