6 Zodiacs Whose Lives Will Change During 2023’s Mercury Retrograde In Virgo
Mercury will station retrograde on August 23rd, 2023 through September 14th, 2023 impacting both Mutable and Earth signs. People tend to get a little anxious during Mercury Retrograde; however, because Mercury is exalted in Virgo, it could allow us to become more prepared and craft good ideas that will enable us to be successful. Nevertheless, Mercury will still bring delays, but taking things slower than usual will work in our favor so we do not have to repeat the same things. This year, with Saturn also in Pisces, it will encourage us to be more cautious when we speak, be more diligent when preparing our projects, and focus on meticulously completing our work. See how this transit will impact your rising, sun, and moon signs.
Virgo
The transit is happening in your sign, but with the Sun also joining Mercury, you will receive a boost of energy and hyper-focus. Mercury here is exalted, but you will have to deal with the impact from Saturn, which can bring more benefits when you need it since you will slow down and analyze things thoroughly. As a sign that enjoys doing things correctly, you will welcome the pace that can bring you calm when things can feel out of your control. Like Pisces, you are going to be a lot more focused on your relationships and romantic past. There is a lot of energy during the transit that may have you awaken old wounds that you need to close. Venus continues to make you reflect and see what it is you are missing. Virgo season begins on the same day Mercury stations retrograde, a helpful reminder to stop being your biggest critic and become your biggest cheerleader. This is a transit that can help you reconnect with love, and it begins with loving who you are and not letting your past define you.
Sagittarius
This is a time filled with transformations and self-acceptance as this energy is concentrated in the highest point in your chart. Mars is keeping Mercury company for a few more weeks in August, which will allow you to feel more driven, but you may still opt to be away from people because you may be more work centered and less inclined to socialize. Either way, you benefit more from the interaction you have with others because it can impact and help you achieve some strong and creative teamwork that helps you feel inspired again. Mercury wants you to embrace your social circles or not neglect friends or family if you have been avoiding them. Take things slow, but this is your time to be more open to collaborations as well as learning. Sagittarius is always open to expanding their knowledge, so this season can have you rediscover a subject you were curious about but did not pursue learning more about before. This season and Mercury’s guidance will help you to reconnect with the essence of the tenth house. Make sure to be comfortable when the spotlight is on you and stop hiding.
Capricorn
Heartache and resolution are linked with this transit as you begin to understand more about those powerful relationships from the past and present. As Venus continues its retrograde path, you will still be focused on bringing more peace and clarity into your world as you aim for resolutions to past topics so that you can move on. Mercury is in a powerful position in the sign of Virgo, helping you dig and search for answers to questions you may have. With Mercury and the Sun in the same sign, you will have some good moments of clarity that can ignite your dreams and career aspirations. As this transit occurs, you will most likely encounter people from the past who will give you a helping hand as you bridge the gap between the past and present and close the door. You are given yet another opportunity to heal and move on. Virgo season will help you to open doors and write your next chapter right before the Sun enters Libra.
Pisces
During this retrograde period, you experience some deep changes in the way you view yourself as well as your value system. Mercury Retrograde is a reminder of what you desire in a good relationship. You may also focus on the happiness that others bring you into your life. During this transit, you may be open to making compromises with people, but you are going to stand up for what you believe in without letting others silence you. As you move into your next phase, this transit serves to empower you to take on the position of diplomat. You are here to see both sides of an argument and you may be more solution-oriented as you become more of a problem solver. Saturn is giving you the maturity and insight to look beyond the superficial and take your time questioning and analyzing before jumping to conclusions. You will see how your relationships evolve after this transit, since Saturn’s influence will help you develop more confidence and trust in yourself and your words.
Taurus
Mercury in Virgo activates your creative energy and can make you feel a lot more romantic. With this transit, you could see a lot of benefits from revising old projects because you will be reconnecting with a muse. With this transit, you may see things in more than one way, aiding you with new perspectives to make your work more dynamic. Virgo season will be a nice and calm social transit that can bring people from the past. Those past relationships may also occupy your mind as you learn from the lessons of the past to apply them to your current romantic connections. It could be a time when you develop a stronger connection with your partner as you both begin to communicate more freely since Mercury will have you dig and discuss things with more humility. While you dug through the fires of Leo season, you may have felt a lack of confidence and self-love, but Virgo energy is here to make you feel more connected to your essence. This is the beginning of your awakening, so go and look for that spark you have within and make sure to ignite it.
Gemini
As a mutable sign, you will feel this transit more than other signs. Virgo season is also here and Saturn has prepared you for this moment. It is a time of action and productivity, but you will be more methodical about how you approach things. Rushing will not be in your favor during this time, so make sure to take things slow. You could be praised during this time for your hard work when you focus on the details. With this transit, you can build your game plan and dreams for the next phase because the upcoming Libra season will help to energize you. With this Virgo Season, you may also be more content with working on your own, but make sure to receive support from others if you need it. Venus is still in Leo, giving you much to discuss and ponder. Mercury and Saturn will feel as if they are adding an obstacle, but these transits will allow you to become more adept and develop mastery in your field. You will be capable of producing magic on your own during this time as you find your strength and power by trusting your abilities.
