The great conjunction in Virgo! It's all happening at the moment in the sign that rules health, formal learning, written communication, physical well-being, medicine and travel.
Mercury, ruler of the sign is applying to a conjunction with the Sun, meaning that clarity of communication is compromised. We may find it harder to communicate effectively in a way that leads to a positive result.
Mars and Venus are also under the Sun's rays and with Venus already in a weak state in the sign, this means that care, love, peace, harmony and relationships are under attack. It takes hard work at the moment to maintain peace.
Mars being weakened will ease up on the drive for perfectionism, however this is also coupled with some anxiety that is not managed well. We may feel that it's okay to mess up, only to wake up the next morning feeling anxious and upset about doing so!
The Virgo duality impacts the influence of all these planets and things can go either way... a calm and friendly family lunch can turn into a family feud. An exciting trip, can turn into a disastrous event. Or you may end up deleting some of the best work you've done in a long time, totally by accident.
Time to take care and focus on what we are doing. Pay attention to thoughts that come suddenly and bring clarity as they may disappear just as suddenly. Learning will need to be repeated and where possible left for another week or two! Distractions lead to disappointment.
Retrograde Saturn trines the conjunction, so structural integrity and work ethic suffers too, not providing much support for our ventures and activities that require discipline. It may feel as if everything is chaotic and mismanaged at the moment. Ride it out and look for the positive experiences that bring some relief in the form of sports, arts, spirituality and being outdoors.
Let's be kind to each other. Over the next few days there will be moments of intense elation too - look out for when those happen :)
