Sun is in Virgo
The Sun is in each sign for around 30 days, hence the cycle of the 12 signs determines the length of our year. Sun in Virgo causes the harvest, with its symbolism of organizing and service, to become the standard for everyone’s behaviour, especially at the beginning of this era. We are beginning to withdraw from the abundance of the growing season together with nature herself, gathering and storing our nuts for the winter. As befits a more sober weather forecast, we are becoming quieter and more serious and shifting into a more group-oriented attitude.

Current Mercury Retrograde: August 23, 2023 - September 15, 2023
Mercury retrograde, which occurs three times a year for about three weeks each time, is interpreted particularly strongly. Mental pursuits and connections break down. The Mercury retrograde period is best used as a time for inner reflection. It is not a good time for making new decisions or new business plans, but it is ideal for Personal reflection on your current situation. It is best to quietly observe your inner process during Mercury retrograde, and to carry forward with your preexisting plans. Ask yourself: Where am I heading in my life at this juncture? Then try to move forward with new directions only after Mercury has gone direct, and perhaps even a fortnight beyond, when Mercury has left its retrograde shadow.
