Astrology for Thursday, 29 August 2019

Mercury enters Virgo, one of the signs of its domicile, in the morning, and is joined by the Moon later tonight. Mercury is strong in Virgo, adept at meticulous precision and managing the details of material matters. With the Sun, Mars, and Venus already in Virgo, joined by Mercury and the Moon, this shift is good news for all of these planets. In its domicile, Mercury is capable of being a generous hostess, sharing its resources with the other planets residing in its abode. Being in Virgo, Mercury is also said to be in its chariot, protected from the depleting rays of the Sun. Today you may experience the sudden arrival of clear thinking, articulate communications, the words and ideas you need to express in order to facilitate meaningful change. In these final hours of this lunar phase, the Moon’s conjunction to Mercury draws on its resources and skills. Whatever tasks or correspondences from this lunar cycle have yet to be completed, this practical conjunction offers a boost for finishing unfinished business and clearing off the to-do list. Projects and processes that began at the New Moon in Leo at the end of July may be coming to a close, and the Moon conjunct Mercury are lending the focus and clarity that we need to bring things to their completion.
