Friday, September 15, Mercury, the planet of communication, is direct in the Earth sign of Virgo, ending its three-week retrograde period.
Mercury is a planet that is in retrograde more often than any other planet, so while you might be accustomed to its energies, there is still always a welcome relief once it is direct. Mercury governs meaningful conversations, signing contracts, making plans and making big purchases or agreements. When this planet is retrograde, it can be challenging to move ahead in these ways, yet as its stations direct today, you will feel a return to forward momentum and trusting yourself to make the decisions you are meant to.
Mercury is stationing direct on the heels of the New Moon in Virgo, which occurred on Thursday, September 14, bringing in a decisive moment of new beginnings. New Moons traditionally usher in a feeling of planting new seeds for the future, but as Mercury stations direct today, beginning a brand-new cycle, this will feel amplified.
You are ready to take all you've learned during the retrograde season up to this point and put it into creating an entirely new phase of your life that is ripe with the lessons of your soul. The worthiness that you do deserve all you dream of — and now the universe is finally giving you the green light to make it all happen.
Your rituals for Mercury stationing direct in Virgo can be done at any time of the day. Consider incorporating the symbols and elements of this Earth sign for greater embodiment.
This can be done through the herbal properties and essences of chamomile, lavender, saffron, patchouli, bergamot or cypress, crystals, Carnelian, citrine, and clear quartz. By honoring the Earth element of Virgo in your rituals, you can work more deeply with the energy of Mercury direct, which will help you create the path forward into all you desire.
