4 Zodiacs Rethinking Long-Term Plans With Mercury In Virgo (9/9-9/26)

Mercury, the planet governing communication and thought processes, moves into Virgo on September 9 and will stay in this responsible sign through September 26, 2024. These 4 Zodiac members are facing a strong influence from Mercury, leading them to question long-term plans based on presented information. 

Taurus

Not one to typically enjoy the process of changing your mind, Mercury in Virgo is edging you to change in a way that feels comfortably uncomfortable. As a practical and level-headed earth sign, you seek stability and security. An ability to remain incredibly focused on the goals and aspirations ahead leads you to a foundation of reliability. With Mercury in Virgo, holes in the planning process are illuminated, and you’re pushed to rethink what systems and structures need to be in place to bring you where you want to go. These next few weeks may be uncomfortable, but by the end of the process, you will have a map and confidence in knowing the path forward aligns with what steps you’re taking.

Gemini

Ruled by Mercury, you tend to experience this planet’s transits with a greater intensity. Virgo’s strengths contrast nicely against your own. With Mercury moving into detail-oriented Virgo, your natural traits of curiosity, adaptability, and liveliness will harmonize with Virgo’s more practical nature. This time will challenge you to become more efficient in gathering and applying information, making you better able to focus and refine ideas, and organize your communication and thought processes. You may find yourself questioning whether previously-held goals are serving you. Accepting that priorities have shifted and simplified is a sign of growth rather than deterioration. Sometimes, focusing on less creates the result of more.

Virgo

With Mercury as both the ruler of your sign and moving into it, qualities of this transit are going to impact you with a stronger intensity. Being a sign who values practicality and precision, you’ve likely thought through goals and outlines well. Even still, faults that lie between goals are going to become apparent. Over these next few weeks, a process of questioning long-term plans and optimizing strategies is going to streamline the way you approach life. Your greater mission and values are going to serve as your north star, leading you to creatively problem solve what it is you can do to make life better.

Pisces

Dreamy and idealistic in nature, you tend to be gifted in the realms of intuition and creativity. Alternatively, you struggle with desires to escape reality and may romanticize life in a way that avoids reality. Mercury moving into dutiful Virgo creates an internal opposition. Facts presented will force a period of self-reflection, challenging you to envision long-term goals through a lens of practicality that requires outlined, actionable steps. This may create a sense as though dreams are being crushed, but taking intentional actions will teach you the beauty of deliberate steps forward. Fulfillment comes not just through reaching beautiful places, but in the process of personal transformation required for getting there.
