VIRGO (August 23–September 23)
Mercury's trine to Pluto May 2 favors making a transformative change in the way you communicate your needs around creative autonomy in the workplace. Mercury moves into Gemini and squares Jupiter May 3, powerfully enhancing your public position by reminding everyone you've always been "one of the people". Receive the respect you deserve May 12 at Mercury's trine to Saturn during Moon in Gemini; Jupiter's ingress into Pisces May 13 translates that respect into admiration and even desire as partnership possibilities arise from seemingly nowhere. Mercury conjuncts Venus and then stations retrograde May 29; prepare for a sentimental journey.
