August 7 - August 13, 2017
To have Mercury in Virgo, or any planet for that matter can create relationship tension as they move into opposition. However, two events over the weekend took away any danger of that, while at the same time creating some incredible dynamics. The first event was the special support Neptune, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, received over the weekend. That support came from Venus and Ceres, the planets of love and nurturing. The positive and serendipitous conditions for friendship and relationship building will continue all week. The second event was Mercury's retrograde turn, which in one fell swoop killed two birds with one stone. Mercury turned retrograde before he could move into opposition, eliminating the danger of relationship tensions building. Yet at the same time, as the planet of communication, you now have a chance to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.
