Daily Horoscope for Virgo Summary

It's the New Moon in Virgo Today...
And with the New Moon in Virgo, we also have Virgo's ruling planet (Mercury) retrograde... That sends a very strong signal to "stop, look and listen" very closely to what is going on around you...

"I know... I know"... How many times as parents have we heard our kids saying that when we are trying to tell them something important... All the while knowing that the info is "going in one ear and out the other"... hehe... Mercury retro makes it easy to "assume" that we know and understand things that we do not... It's only later on when things are not working out as planned do we wish we would have listened to the instructions or directions better.

Mercury in mythology was "the messenger of the gods"... (that's why it has the wings on it's helmet)... It goes retrograde when it races too far ahead of the Sun and starts to lose (forget) the instructions/messages the universe has given it to relay to us... That's why I always suggest "writing things down" so there'll be no disagreements or confusion later on regarding important details... Contrary to popular belief, this can be a terrific time to find awesome bargains if you take the time to "research" what you are buying and know the true/real value of the item first. Many sellers will make impulsive choices to "mark things down" under these conditions.

But... (pointing to my butt)...
Fortunately, knowing this astrological fact can help spare us all kinds of needless aggravation... Just by doing simple things like giving ourselves extra time to get to where we are going... (expecting delays)... Paying closer attention when driving because other drivers can make sudden erratic moves... And perhaps most of all, the wisdom of knowing not to try to fix what really isn't broken... hehe... You will find that electronics (computers) tend to screw up... Most of the time, it's just a matter of re-booting or re-setting things... It's when you start takin' things apart that you are likely to get into trouble... hehe.. Especially when you're tryin' to put it all back together again.

Mercury retrograde is really the universe suggesting that we "back off" and to take more time to enjoy the life and people around us... Not to take ourselves and the things we do too seriously... To put away the computers and to actually stop and talk with real people for a change... hehe... Trackin' with me on this?...

Anyway, that's it for now... Things will get interesting... I'll talk to you guys tomorrow...

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...
