<\/strong>\"Get<\/a>I’ve done a lot of complaining about Virgo in the last week or so, but here’s a Virgo transit I actually like: Communication planet Mercury is moving into Virgo on Friday, August 31 (the same day as the Full Moon in Pisces), and it always helps me think more clearly.<\/p>\n

Mercury in Virgo sharpens minds, increases analytical skills and helps everyone stay more focused and organized, which is an especially great thing for a scattered Gemini like me.<\/p>\n

Mercury will be in Virgo through September 16, which happily coincides with a very busy time of the year for me as a writer. September is packed with projects and deadlines that might usually stress me out, but with this transit I know I’ll have the mental discipline and focus to get it all done.<\/p>\n

The same is true for everyone going back to school, and getting back to business after a playful summer. Merc in Virgo is all about taking in new knowledge and learning new skills, or putting in long hours of work that takes a great deal of precision.<\/p>\n

Astrologically speaking, September certainly isn’t going to be as much fun as August, but whatever we’ve go on our plates, we’re gonna get ‘er done!<\/p>\n
