mercury enters virgo: clean lines

< god is in the details >

today Mercury, the planet of communication, thought & travel, moves into precise Virgo until August 25th.

Mercury is in peak form while transiting Virgo, one of the signs of its rulership (along with Gemini).

Mercury in Virgo inspires us to think “show me the money”, and we’ll be less impressed by flash…and more impressed by cold hard cash…and results.  Bragadoccio is no longer in vogue, as it was while Mercury was in Leo.  

remember the song by Pisces Robin Thicke “Blurred Lines”?  

it’s the perfect Pisces anthem…Pisces excels at handling ambiguity, the mysterious, the creative. Virgo (Pisces’ opposite sign) wants those lines to be clear, straight, and perfect. 

that’s not to say that Virgo isn’t creative.  Mercury-ruled Virgo excels at salesmanship, persuasion, and relationship- building.  (And just as a side-note, I’ve never met a Virgo who wasn’t incredible doing impressions and mannerisms - they are outstanding mimics, because of their attention to detail.)

Detail, precision and a finely-honed sense of craftsmanship will always be a top imperative when a planet is in Virgo.

Mercury in Virgo is one of the transits best suited to showing us the connection between Cause and Effect.  that’s because Virgo knows that the choices & actions we take today determine our future.

And it’s a strong transit for planning ahead and getting ourselves out of the procrastination zone.  when we use our analytical Virgo side (we all have one somewhere, even if it’s submerged!), we can accomplish great things.  Mercury in Virgo helps us understand that life is made up of a series of infinitesimal packets of time (in Sanskrit, we call this Kshana.)  And added up together, these Kshana make up the uninterrupted sequence of events that is our life (Vinyasa Krama).

elsewhere in the galaxy, the Moon moves out of balanced Libra and into probing Scorpio.  it’s no longer about keeping things copacetic…we’re motivated to get to the heart of the matter, and face any dark side that lurks behind a pretty exterior.
