Tuesday, AUGUST 25

Mercury leaves the sign of Leo this morning, but before it goes, it opposes the Moon’s North Node. It’s possible we feel stuck on a mental plane, and the tendency is to overthink, overexplain, or overanalyze, which can be a form of procrastination or emotional avoidance.

However, we’re building toward more clarity in the days ahead. We should be mindful of intellectualizing issues that require sensitivity.

Mercury enters Virgo, where it will transit until September 10th. In the weeks ahead, we gravitate to useful information, and we enjoy helping others with our knowledge. It’s a time for analyzing and dissecting, but we need other influences to put the pieces together or see the bigger picture, as our confidence in doing so is not strong right now. Our thinking is cautious, and we want facts and certainties.

Dealing with details is natural and easy now. However, we need to be careful not to lose perspective if we get lost in the details.

Mercury, now in Virgo, forms a trine to Chiron, and our good intentions pave the way for warm, healthy conversations. We’re engaging in discussions and learning from past experiences. This influence opens our minds to learning from one another and helps us communicate our feelings constructively. We’re relaying our messages in relatable, accessible ways.

Good energy is with us to discuss or give more thought to sensitive topics. We’re especially alert, observant, and willing to understand. It’s easier than usual to communicate our message now, although this is less about getting the exact wording and more about conveying our intentions.

We might discover new ways to approach problems, especially those related to work, health, money, and practical affairs.

The Moon is void until it enters Aquarius today at 5:02 AM EDT.
