Virgo’s diligence is something you can take advantage of during the Mercury retrograde. This is a great time for research and for redoing anything that isn’t quite up to scratch. It’s also a good time to get organized, file things away neatly and to clear clutter, especially in the workplace.
If you, or someone you care about, has a health concern, this is an excellent time to research both natural and conventional medical therapies.
If you need to quit any unhealthy habits, come up with a modest plan that you can realistically stick to and later build on, as needed.
Virgo is a sensual Earth sign, but it’s also mercurial, so variety is welcome now. Tweak any area of your day-to-day life that could be improved by some extra spice or a fresh perspective.
There can be challenges in your workplace. Be prepared for delays and equipment breakdowns, as well as cranky co-workers. Double-checking all facts and figures is highly recommended at this time!
Although you need to think things through thoroughly under Mercury retrograde in Virgo, it’s possible to go too far in your analysing and re-analysing: to the point where you end up letting opportunities pass you by while you’re still making up your mind. Also, constant brooding can make you feel stressed. You need to relax from time to time or your health may suffer.
Here’s something to think about under this cycle: there’s only so far you can go when it comes to being helpful. Even though you may see solutions that aren’t obvious to others, some people might interpret your offer of help as interfering. Similarly, you might feel resentful of anyone offering you help, feeling that you really know best. Instead of being fussy about everything being just so, choose your battles and don’t be so hard on yourself. Also, try not to be picky about something from the past, unless you really feel it still needs ‘fixing’.
