Mercury Retrograde in Virgo Through the Signs
On August 23, 2023, Mercury stationed retrograde at 21°51’ Virgo. Discover what this means for your sign!
Mercury is now retrograde, and will station direct again on September 15, 2023 at 8° Virgo.
In the third decan of Virgo, the sign of their exaltation, Mercury excels & brings an incredible level of precision, attention to detail and capacity for memory, innovation and intelligence... This retrograde period can point to a rushed job: be careful of overconfidence in your abilities or because of the increased mental boost Mercury brings, as you are at risk of going too fast and overseeing major details, esp when it comes to business/ communications decisions.
