When communicative Mercury, your home planet, links up with secretive Scorpio on October 3, keeping things to yourself will be a more attractive option than blabbing your business to the world. It’s tempting to spill a juicy secret, but you’re more loyal than that. Romantic Venus enters passionate Scorpio on the eighth, giving your love life a boost. Trust and honesty are two of the most important things to you now, and they must be present before you’re intimate with anyone. A fabulous Mercury-Saturn sextile on October 14 gives you clear thinking, making this the perfect time to organize things, catch up on cleaning, or take care of projects you’ve been putting off. You can get your work done in half the time it would take you on other days. Don’t waste it! An inhibiting Mars-Saturn square on the twenty-seventh can bring rejection and setbacks when and where you least expect them. You might not be equipped to deal with certain bad news now, but you’ll find a way to get through it using your logical, practical ways. You usually do.

Your mind is alert and active during the Mercury-Uranus trine on September 1, so the start of the month is a great time to put some of your more ambitious plans into effect. You have some great ideas, Virgo, and now is the time to let the world know what your mind is capable of. Your brain continues to be one of your strongest assets when the Mercury-Pluto trine occurs on the eighth, and you gain a lot of your success through perseverance. This same quality makes you an excellent partner and friend because you refuse to give up when there’s something you see as worthwhile on the line. Manners are important to you when chatty Mercury enters gracious Libra on September 14, so you’ll utter “excuse me” and “thank you” a lot, and you expect to hear them in return. You’re already a stickler for details, so anyone who doesn’t conform to your idea of what’s “proper” will probably hear about it. You might have some very intense interactions with people during the Mercury-Pluto square on the twenty-sixth, not all of them positive in nature. Your thoughts might be darker now than usual, and you might not be aware of how your words are coming across.

Your ruler Mercury is finally direct in sensitive Cancer as the month begins, bringing communication issues back to a state of normalcy. If you’ve had misunderstandings with someone in the past several weeks, this is a good time to sincerely apologize or graciously receive an apology from someone else. Powerful Mars enters your organized sign on August 18, so getting things done is your number one priority. Your take-charge attitude can be intimidating, but you’re just trying to make sure the job gets done and gets done right. Organization is your best friend now. Romantic Venus also enters your disciplined sign, on the twenty-first, so matters of the heart are very matter of fact and practical. Show a loved one how much they mean to you by washing their car, offering to run errands, or taking in the trash. The more practical the gesture, the more meaningful it is to you. The sun enters your sign, too, on August 23, ushering in sensible Virgo season. You’re in your element now, and you enjoy putting things in their place, being on time, and making sure your house and office are super clean. Tending to details is what you do best, and you love freeing yourself from (emotional and physical) clutter.

When your home planet Mercury goes retrograde while in the Lion’s fiery sign on July 7, your pride is on the line. Your worst nightmare is looking bad in front of an audience. Preparation and rehearsal can lower those odds significantly. The sun is in sensitive Cancer when it opposes deep Pluto in practical Capricorn on the fourteenth, which could create behavior bordering on obsessive-compulsive. Ask yourself if there’s anything you can do to change the circumstances you’re in, and if the answer is no, find a way to let it go. Mercury is still retrograde when it enters emotional Cancer on July 19, so you might give off a defensive tone without even meaning to. You can’t help taking negative comments personally, but there’s no reason to hold on to them longer than necessary. It’s tempting to tell someone how you really feel about them during the Mercury-Venus conjunction in the Crab’s emotional sign on the twenty-fourth, but it might not go exactly as planned. When the results aren’t what you hoped for, you can’t hide your sadness. Being emotionally vulnerable might be one of your least favorite states of being. Loving Venus enters big-hearted Leo on July 27, opening your world to love and romance. If you’ve been closed off recently, this will feel great.
