Mercury is \u201cvery happy in Virgo,\u201d says Gailing, noting that the planet is the sign\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/ruling-planets-in-astrology\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/ruling-planets-in-astrology\/\">planetary ruler.<\/a> However, Lettman adds that this combo of Mercury and Virgo can still \u201cpack a punch\u201d because it challenges us to do what Virgo does best\u2014that is, to create order\u2014when chaos typically reigns.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe focus is going to be on saying &#8216;no,&#8217; putting up boundaries, and really being choosy about what we\u2019re doing with our time.\u201d \u2014Rachel Lang, astrologer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe focus is going to be on saying no, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-set-healthy-boundaries\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-set-healthy-boundaries\/\">putting up boundaries<\/a>, and really being choosy about what we\u2019re doing with our time, whom we&#8217;re spending it with, and what we\u2019re saying &#8216;yes&#8217; to,\u201d says astrologer <a href=\"https:\/\/rachellangastrologer.com\/about1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/rachellangastrologer.com\/about1\">Rachel Lang<\/a>. \u201cIt&#8217;s a time of clearing your calendar and getting organized.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How to handle this Mercury retrograde in Virgo<\/h2>\n<p>Generally speaking, Mercury retrograde is well-aligned for deep introspection and getting your internal affairs in order. \u201cThe common delays and miscommunications encourage us to put a pause on things and engage in that process of reevaluating our decisions and rethinking our lives,\u201d says Lang.<\/p>\n<p>Though this work can feel uncomfortable in the moment, it&#8217;ll prove beneficial long-term. Lang likens the energy of Mercury retrograde to loading an arrow into a bow; pulling back further will launch the arrow a greater distance, and the same is true with the depth of self-introspection here. \u201cThe further in and back we go with our deep soul exploration, the further we can shoot and the faster we can move when we\u2019re on the other side [of the retrograde],\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Given the detail-oriented Virgo influence on this transit, that work might include sorting your feelings&#8230; or re-doing your filing system or spice cabinet. Virgo is concerned with \u201cbettering things,\u201d so tackle the internal work and any external projects with an eye toward establishing or discovering a better way of doing things, advises Gailing. That could mean considering how your current organizational systems aren&#8217;t serving you and thinking on how to adjust them.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cVirgo is very much about the interplay between mind and body, so there\u2019s also this notion of reconsidering your approach to well-being.\u201d \u2014Stephanie Gailing, astrologer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As you\u2019re tuning up your mind and space, check in on your physical health, too. \u201cVirgo is very much about the interplay between mind and body, so there\u2019s also this notion of reconsidering your approach to well-being,\u201d says Gailing. Maybe you\u2019re currently going to early morning Pilates class three times a week before work, but skipping precious sleep to make it in time. Now\u2019s a great time to reconsider whether that approach is working, and make plans to adjust if not.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re doing all this self-reflecting, though, be careful not to tip into Virgo-esque perfectionism; don\u2019t take the bait to pick at yourself or put yourself down for past mistakes. If you find yourself veering into that territory, consider how the high standards you hold for yourself might be reducing your self-image, says Lettman, and whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/positive-self-talk\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/positive-self-talk\/\">the way you talk to yourself<\/a> might be due for a tune-up, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Which signs will be most affected by Mercury retrograde in Virgo?<\/h2>\n<p>Two signs, both of which are ruled by Mercury, will feel this retrograde most acutely, according to Lettman: Virgo (no surprise there) and Gemini. Mercury is retrograding in its sign, so Virgo may take any setbacks even more personally, and \u201cwill feel most frustrated when things don\u2019t go to plan,\u201d she says. As for Gemini, the deep internal work involved in Mercury retrograde can kick up some conflicting feelings, which Lettman says can spark confusion and restlessness.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, everyone will feel this Mercury retrograde in some way, depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/houses-in-astrology\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/houses-in-astrology\/\">astrological house<\/a> that this transit occupies in your birth chart.

Think about how you lay out your days, suggests Gailing, and go over your organizing systems to see if they still fit your goals and needs. \u201cYou can really achieve a different approach to feeling well,\u201d she says, especially if you review and reconsider a few well-being practices that might&#8217;ve worked for you in the past.<\/p>\n<h3>Taurus<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697509 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Horoscope-Slides-Taurus_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/taurus-personality-trait-gifs\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/taurus-personality-trait-gifs\/\">Taurus<\/a>, Mercury is transiting in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/houses-in-astrology\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/houses-in-astrology\/\">fifth house<\/a> of fun and pleasure. This is a great time to reconnect with your creativity and think about \u201chow you\u2019re expressing your unique light,\u201d says Lang. Also, it&#8217;s wise to reassess whether you\u2019re truly happy in the romance realm, too, because you might find yourself reuniting with people from your past. (After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/venus-retrograde-leo\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/venus-retrograde-leo\/\">Venus is still retrograding<\/a>\u2014and Mercury retrograde has a similar reputation for bringing back old flames.)<\/p>\n<h3>Gemini<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697509 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Horoscope-Slides-Gemini_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Family matters on the mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/gemini-personality-traits\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/gemini-personality-traits\/\">Gemini<\/a>? Now is the time to consider how you might mend any wounded familial bonds, as Mercury is in your fourth house of family, home, and legacy. \u201cMaybe you go back to your sibling, cousin, or another family member with whom you had stalled communication, and readdress the relationship from a different orientation,\u201d suggests Gailing. You may discover a new understanding of the situation, or at the very least, access closure.<\/p>\n<h3>Cancer<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697509 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Horoscope-Slides-Cancer_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Buckle up, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/who-is-cancer-compatible-with\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/who-is-cancer-compatible-with\/\">Cancer<\/a>. Mercury is in your third house, which corresponds to its exact ruling topic: communication. Lang advises \u201cdouble-, triple-, and quadruple-checking\u201d any details for plans or assignments. This extends past your calendar, too, and into your relationships; you might not be hearing or interpreting what others say to you in the way they intend, so take an extra beat to make sure meanings are clear and nothing is getting lost in translation.<\/p>\n<h3>Leo<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697509 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Horoscope-Slides-Leo_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Your second house of value, finances, and ownership is in Mercury\u2019s path, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/leo-traits\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/leo-traits\/\">Leo<\/a>. Given that we\u2019ve just wrapped up Leo season, now would be an ideal time to review any birthday expenditures you might have made and go over bank or credit card statements with an exacting eye to be sure nothing is amiss, says Gailing. \u201cThis retrograde is also encouraging you\u00a0 to look at your money matters from a different orientation,\u201d she says, so it&#8217;s useful to consider if the systems or methods you&#8217;ve had in place for budgeting may not be the most helpful ones for reaching your financial goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Virgo<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697509 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Horoscope-Slides-Virgo_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re in the hot seat, Virgo. After all, Mercury is retrograding in<em> your<\/em> sign, affecting your first house of identity. Translation: You&#8217;ll feel this one intensely. Your task is to reimagine how you express yourself and conceive of your own self-image, says Gailing. \u201cIt\u2019s not all about looks, but it is very much about the image you present to the world,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do, however, don&#8217;t commit to long-lasting or irreversible changes to your appearance (a double Mercury and Venus retrograde period is <em>not<\/em> the time for that). Instead, consider short-term tweaks; for instance, if you want to change up your hair, try a temporary dye rather than permanent.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the time to re-evaluate how you&#8217;re directing your efforts and energy, says Lang. Are you investing a lot in something that doesn&#8217;t have a high return for you?

She also recommends applying this introspection to your intimate desires, too; consider how you might adjust your approach to seduction as a means to experience more pleasure and intimacy in your life.<\/p>\n<h3>Pisces<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697509 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Horoscope-Slides-Pisces_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You could spend this transit digging through previous connections, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/who-are-pisces-compatible-with\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/who-are-pisces-compatible-with\/\">Pisces<\/a>.

Exes might pop back into your head (or life), or you might find yourself scrolling through an old crush\u2019s social media feed. Still, it&#8217;s important not to dwell on the past too much. Instead, let these reflections serve as a reminder of how lovable you are in the present, says Lang.<\/p>\n<p>This transit can also affect your current relationships. \u201cPisces could face misunderstandings, as they learn to stop worrying about \u2018fixing\u2019 things and to just be a good listener,\u201d says Lettman.
