Mercury arrives in Virgo, embarking on a three week return home. In Virgo, Mercury finds its analytical side, taking ideas and information and running them through our critical thinking. Health and wellness, education and learning are a highlight, too.

Maybe we could use some analytical thinking as we come up to the first quarter moon in Scorpio. As I’ve been talking about, there’s a lot going on this week (and this month), which requires us to be present body, mind, and soul.

Speaking of which, now that the Moon’s in Scorpio, it activates a powerful square between Mars in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius. And, by extension, it activates an ongoing square between Saturn and Uranus in Taurus. This is intense astrology. The Sun and Moon create a fixed cross. There’s no way around it. These are forces that can shift and move things. We can move mountains with it, but we have to take command and learn how to wield it.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for August 5.
