Forecast Aug 22-Sep 4, 2022: Rethinking The Virgo Myth

On August 20th Mars began its seven-month journey through Gemini. With such a bold, assertive planet moving into the sign of communication and media, the astrology world was abuzz about the potentials of the transit. On the same day, Mercury stealthily entered the shadow zone of its upcoming retrograde at 24° Virgo 12′. On September 3rd, Mars will follow suit and cross the shadow point of its forthcoming retrograde at 8° Gemini 08′. Gemini is of course one of Mercury's two domiciles, the other being Virgo where it is presently. So while Mars may be garnering a lot of attention, Mercury's influence is apparent and important.
