There’s no denying that Virgo season is one of the busiest times of year. Whether you’re going back to school, or just having a more fast-paced work life lately, you can definitely feel the hardworking Virgo vibes in the air! There’s been a bit of room for fun and games despite the increased hustle and bustle of daily life, thanks to the romantic, fun-loving energy from the romantic Leo constellation, but now it’s time to put on your thinking cap! On the night of Wednesday, September 5, Mercury leaves Leo and enters Virgo, filling your schedule with more work and further amplifying your productive mood.
Virgo is the sign of perfectionists, and it has the most analytical tendencies in the whole zodiac. It’s a sign with ultra-practical sensibilities–it’s all about wanting to work at 100 percent efficiency—and looking good while doing it! Mercury is the planet of communications, intellectual thinking, and mental focus, so it’s right at home in this logical, practical sign. When Mercury joins Virgo, the earthy energy is at its peak, and it marks a month of time where productivity is at an all-time high! Fellow earth signs Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus especially experience the positive effects of Mercury in Virgo, and can expect to feel more motivated, alert, and curious.
Whether you’re preparing a presentation at work, finally getting into the swing of the school year, or just trying to get more done around the house, you find that you have the mental clarity and motivation to make a ton of progress in your daily responsibilities. The lightning-fast processing power of Mercury in Virgo helps you notice any flaws and immediately correct them. You may notice that others also have a critical eye for your work, but don’t take their remarks personally. Everyone’s attention to detail is boosted under this Virgo energy, and any criticism–whether you asked for it or not–is most likely given with good intentions.
Teaching, learning, and talking is easier with this energy, even if the style of communication is a bit cut-and-dry or unimaginative. Tactfulness isn’t part of the matter-of-fact sensibilities of Virgo season, and it’s not the most exciting time of year as far as your social life goes. But the ultra-productivity of this month (and what all that hard work will ultimately lead to) more than makes up for the current lack of fun.
