Friday, SEPTEMBER 23

Mercury, still retrograde, moves back into Virgo, where it will stay until October 10th, although Mercury’s retrograde will end on October 2nd. Retrograde Mercury periods tend to send us looking to the past for further or previously hidden information.

With retrograde Mercury now in Virgo, we might look at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective. However, we may be especially analytical and critical, perhaps to excess. We tend to return to past projects and refine or tweak them.

Still, we may feel stuck in the past if we continually redo and don’t feel satisfied with the results. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways. It’s a good time for reviewing recent work, as long as we don’t get caught in a loop of perfectionism.

We might discover new ways of doing work that has become routine or consider renewing old self-care, health, or fitness programs. Plans may be considered then reconsidered. We are in a good position to reevaluate our routines and habits, and we might give more thought to the meaning of our work or services.

The Moon enters Virgo early today, at 3:54 AM EDT, and taking care of details can be in focus. As the day advances, we move in on a Venus-Neptune opposition, and clarity may be lacking in our social relationships.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Virgo today at 3:54 AM EDT.
