A little easy listening for summer. This melancholy song with its beautiful lyrics has been covered many times. I didn’t know it was initially a German tune — Der Sommerwind — which Johnny Mercer heard and translated into English. I’ve been listening to many versions on YouTube. Here are my four top picks, plus the astrological information I can find about each singer. ———————————- This is the great lyricist, musician and founder of Capitol Records Johnny Mercer himself, singing his own words. It’s confident, wistful, grown up, sophisticated, precise. Also, unlike a lot of versions, it’s perfectly paced. Scorpio Sun, Aquarius Moon, Leo […]

Mercury’s Virgo ingress on July 25th kicks off an extended process of corrections. Mercury rules this sign, so detail-oriented communication, critiques and problem solving will be major themes.
This is the “get it right” transit. You may focus obsessively on a flaw/problem. Or, you could be the target of endless little criticisms. You won’t be allowed to let things slide. If you need to get your sh*t together and attend to the routine stuff you’ve been putting off, this is your transit. This is also your transit if you’ve been struggling to find a solution. Great for organizing and nailing down the specifics. Virgo is about the real facts – they must be proven, doable and ready to implement.
This influence favours analysis and diagnosis. Issues will picked apart until seemingly inconsequential bits are all that’s left. And this is where it gets real – do not make the mistake of ignoring something that’s too small. Nothing is too small in Virgo. The little thing hold the solutions.
Mercury stations Rx in Virgo, on August 12th. It will station direct in Leo on September 5th. Mercury Rx in Virgo will double the amount of corrections. Migraine-inducing details will urge you to look closer. You may need a magnifying glass. Virgo’s perfectionism will be in full force – something will need improvement. If you don’t see it, someone else will. The backtrack into Leo suggests returning to the original creation – the pure passion or joy. Before you can continue with the fix, you’ll have to go back to the source and ask some questions. Is it special enough? Will fixing it be a waste of your time?
As noted in this post, the process may have already started with the July 24th Mercury/Uranus trine.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Virgo will make:
