VIRGO (August 23–September 23)
Mercury’s entire retrograde in Libra through October 18 affects your values, valuables, personal resources, and your material world. Avoid abrupt choices which will cost money; delay financial decisions until early November. Careful of power plays and confrontational communications when Mercury retrograde squares Pluto October 1. Watch the superlatives—are they covering up doubts?—when Mercury trines Jupiter October 3. Mercury retrograde conjuncts Mars October 9; wisely guard against “fightin’ words”! Knowing this in advance is a “get out of jail free” card; please use it. Apologies and reparative confessions go a long way when Mercury sextiles Venus October 16.
