What Every Zodiac Can Expect From 2023’s Mercury In Virgo

Leo season will help us discover what we are passionate about. Venus is currently retrograde in this sign, awakening the lion in all of us. While we uncover what we want in relationships and how to make our dreams a reality, Mercury in Virgo will allow us to make concrete plans to launch our goals. On July 28th, the planet of communication will enter the sign of Virgo, where Mercury is at home. While this transit will face the opposition from Saturn and a retrograde, we will be able to be more productive and discover more about the messages this Venus transit wants to let us know. See how this transit will impact your Rising, Sun and Moon.

Aries 

This transit will feel like a fresh start since it allows you to tackle pending responsibilities you may have neglected. Mercury in Virgo will help you to be more productive and in control for the next month. It can feel quite frustrating, but you are a fighter and when you are determined to excel, you are unstoppable. Your determination during this transit will work in your favor, since your hard work can be recognized during this time. Trusting yourself and being more of a team player with others can help you excel. Remember, slow and steady wins the race, so there isn’t a need to rush, because during retrograde, you will need to redo those mistakes.

Taurus 

Getting things done may feel frustrating during this Leo Season due to the planets squaring one another, but Mercury in Virgo will help to fire up your passion and creativity. During this transit, you will rediscover and fall in love with your artistic side; this transit allows you to move toward the direction you may have dreamed of, so make plans and visualize your wildest dreams. Your friends can serve as muses during this time, or you may be inspired to emulate their discipline. Mercury in Virgo allows you to assemble the building blocks so you can get ahead and succeed. 

Gemini 

Discovering yourself is linked to this transit. Mercury may want you to go and search deeper for answers. Saturn and Mercury will help you find your voice and become more confident. However, Saturn’s lessons will take more time. This will be a meaningful transit, as it also helps you to release and bring more clarity into your world. Mercury in Virgo will allow you to set new groundwork for what you want on the career front as well. You will feel much more disciplined and empowered to begin thinking about where you see yourself in the next several years.

Cancer 

This is your month of self-empowerment, growth, and self-care. Mercury in this sign will allow you to rest and recharge and help you take control of your career. Regardless, you are on a new level that helps you move ahead with more confidence and focus. With this transit, things may feel like they are aligning; once this planet goes retrograde, you will receive plenty of messages allowing you to get back on track and patch some relationships with estranged friends. Mercury and Saturn are here to transform your thought process and how you view the world. Trust the process and look ahead with more optimism.

Leo 

Igniting something within will be essential during this transit. Venus is already making you more aware of who you are and what you want. You are in a phase where you will not compromise your values in relationships. As Mercury moves away from your sign, you may feel ready to pick up the pieces and rebuild. Now you are inspired to discover what brings you joy, solace, and comfort, as this transit will push you to a new adventure that will show you what you care for and what is indispensable to make your love life evolve.

Virgo 

Mercury enjoys being in your sign, but this year things may feel a little more challenging with the Saturn opposition. Nevertheless, you will accomplish a lot, since achieving success is much simpler during this time, even if some obstacles present themselves. The work you do now will pay off in the long run; all you have to do is remind yourself to keep going. During this cycle, you may step out of your comfort zone and feel more vibrant as others become more captivated by you. Love can also occupy your mind, but you will be more emotionally vulnerable toward your partner (or potential partners). You will feel much more optimistic and appreciative at this time.

Libra 

Resting will be imperative to you as Mercury has you enjoying your company as you rediscover new ways to show yourself love and care. You are here to focus on your success and the direction you desire to take for the future before Mercury enters your sign. Mercury and Mars are pushing you to be more independent, especially as this Venus retrograde will have you redefining your values. You are here to let go, make peace with the past, and look forward. Your courage is awakened and connected to your inner strength.

Scorpio 

Leo season could make your social calendar seem more appealing as others are reaching out and inviting you to events. Even making friends seems easier with Mercury in Virgo giving you more charm and magnetism. Reconnecting with friends is also another possibility of this transit. Mercury will highlight what you must do to make your friendships more fruitful. The transit may feel uncomfortable, but you know that you are headed in the right direction. This Leo Season, you could be praised at work or school. Mercury also will inspire you to learn and expand on your knowledge.

Sagittarius 

This is quite an insightful transit as Mercury makes you more conscious of what brings you happiness at work. This could be a transit where you look to see how to make changes that can help you be more efficient. If you were seeking grounding energy, both Saturn and Mercury in opposition bring you frustrations but teach you to continue developing the foundation for what you aspire to do in the next several years. One of the most important lessons of this transit is not to lose your control, with Mars also in the same sign, making you want to rebel. The point now is to root for yourself and not have a defeatist attitude.

Capricorn 

Mercury makes you social, passionate, and prepared to learn more. This is a transit that will help you grow in ways that will improve your relationships. There is more awareness when Mercury in Virgo transits your chart, and you could be more receptive to what others have to say since your communication becomes more open and expansive. It is a transit where you align yourself with the work you enjoy. Mercury also has you looking towards the future, before it reaches the highest point of your chart. Believe in what you are passionate about and fight for it. Mercury will grant you the confidence and energy needed to keep that flame alive. 

Aquarius 

You may take on the role of someone people can confide in during this transit. Your wisdom will be appreciated by the ones closest to you because now you are discovering the power you hold within. Mercury and Mars are currently transforming you and giving you the resilience needed before they move to the next sign. Right now, things can feel challenging, but you have the fortitude and experience to continue overcoming any challenges to emerge victorious.

Pisces 

Creating balance and taking things slow will be imperative with this transit. Saturn will be opposing Mercury in Virgo, adding some conflict to your partnerships. This transit pushes you to see the impact of your connections with family and friends. You could feel motivated to reach out to them and reconnect, since Mercury will be retrograde in the coming weeks. Mercury initiates a new cycle for you and your relationships. You will be able to see what you want and be unapologetic. Love transforms for you, since Mercury makes you more confident to speak your truth.
