Person walking on the Yellow Brick Road towards the future.

Time for Focus

No matter what else happens, remember that Mercury will be in Virgo for the full month of September. Mercury is super happy in Virgo – which means what you think about, you can do and do it well. Think of the start of a school year – which happens when the Sun is in Virgo each year. What supplies are you going to need for the coming year? Do you need new clothes to show who you are this year, so others don’t need to be reminded how you want to be seen. We put away our lackadaisical summer ways and start to decide what matters for you for the upcoming months.

That is just the Sun. It is here too, for most of September. But there’s more. While in Virgo, Mercury settles down. Through most of the Zodiac, Mercury can exhibit unrestrained curiosity, prone to distractions or get lost playing games for better or worse. Mercury rules our minds, how we think, what we think about, and then how we communicate, and also where we go and interactions from commerce to manipulation.

In Virgo, Mercury can finally think clearly and stay focused long enough to design a path to where you want to be for about any goal. A good strategy will always bring you closer to what you want and give you a sense you can accomplish your goals.

A few months ago, we had Mars through Virgo – which was more about taking action to organize your environment. With both Mercury and the Sun here, this is the time to find your yellow brick road and start the journey.
