Thursday, JULY 25

Before Mercury leaves Leo and enters Virgo today, it forms a quincunx with Neptune, a transit that can challenge our decision-making confidence. Be prepared for potential mental disorganization that may arise. We might find ourselves wavering with uncertainty or inclined to daydream at the expense of productivity and clear communication. However, being aware of these challenges can help us manage them effectively.

Still, as the day advances, a Sun-Mars sextile is confident, decisive, and active, boosting our desire for action to pursue our passions. It’s an energizing influence, particularly with ambitious or exciting undertakings.

With this transit, we want to take the initiative and feel we can accomplish a lot. Our sense of rhythm and timing is good. Stress eases as we feel confident about our abilities and our judgment. We can assert ourselves without rubbing people the wrong way. We’re also ready to take on a challenge, and we’re competitive in a natural, unforced way. We can feel energized, particularly about communicating, connecting, and enjoying ourselves.

It can be a time of resourcefulness when we respond to problems or challenges with spirited and enthusiastic confidence.

As well, the Moon moves from Pisces to Aries at 10:53 AM EDT, and we feel a strong desire to start fresh as the day advances.

Mercury transits Virgo from today until August 14th. Note that because Mercury will turn retrograde and later return to Leo, Mercury will only complete its transit of Virgo from September 9th to 26th.

While Mercury is in Virgo, we seek more precision in speech, thought, method, and process. Dealing with details is natural and comfortable. We must be careful to maintain perspective if we find ourselves overly focused on the details.

Further, we should be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves too factually, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative.

However, it’s an excellent time for organizing, sorting, and analyzing. We gravitate to useful information and enjoy helping others with our knowledge during this cycle. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties.

The Moon is void from 10:32 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 10:53 AM EDT.
