  • Mercury Rx enters Leo
  • Saturn in Sagittarius square Vesta in Virgo: 21 deg
  • Saturn in Sagittarius inconjunct Ceres in Cancer: 21 deg
  • Vesta in Virgo sextile Ceres in Cancer: 21 deg

Mercury retrograde reactivates issues from July 24th-25th, 2017 (when it was last exiting Leo). It’s time to revisit the fire at the heart of your idea. Does it still bring you joy? It may also be time to revise a creation, or your approach to a new romance. 

Saturn’s hard aspects to Vesta and Ceres suggest pressure around an area of focused nurturing. Family responsibilities or legal issues may create resentment, as you’re pushed to care for someone or take on more than you want to. 

The easy sextile between Vesta and Ceres is your solution. Despite the pressure, there’s an opportunity to harmonize nurturing with devotion. Saturn’s responsibilities cannot be shrugged off, and nurturing resentment only makes them feel heavier. If you have to do it, pour all your energy into it and make it sing. Find the flame at the core of the responsibility. This could be what Mercury Rx’s return to Leo is about.

Hungry to Set Ourselves on Fire

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx: 3 degrees Virgo
  • Juno stations direct: 2 degrees Capricorn

The Sun/Mercury inferior conjunction is the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde. You’re still in the revising/reviewing zone, but an important truth should be illuminated. The inferior conjunction is a new beginning in the Sun/Mercury cycle. The superior conjunction (June 21st, 2017 at 0 degrees Cancer) was a culmination – the two dates may be connected. 

Juno direct is trines the Sun/Mercury conjunction, and this suggests progress for relationship contracts and agreements. Mercury Rx’s second look can reveal a key fact that solidifies a commitment.

Note that Juno will make two exact trines to Mercury in Virgo:

  • Mercury Rx on August 27th
  • Mercury direct on September 13th

Trying to stay balanced during this emotional roller coaster of ups and downs can be a struggle, especially as the Solar Eclipse continues to fuel up.

August 11th, 2017: Repeated Devotion

  • Mercury conjoins Vesta in Virgo : 11 degrees

Mercury unites with Vesta for a second time (the first conjunction took place on August 2nd). Mercury is slowing down in preparation for its retrograde (on August 12th) where it will back away while Vesta moves forward. Mercury Rx will not conjoin Vesta, however, after the conjunction it will station at almost the same position as Vesta (off by a few minutes). Meaning, before it turns Rx, it will “stop” close to Vesta, which is akin to underlining that one detail. 

This is a powerful, repeat focus on a fact, problem or solution. Mercury/Vesta’s first conjunction took place at 7 degrees, so 7 to 11 degrees Virgo is the zone for this. This is happening just before Mercury’s Rx (review) so this is not the final solution. But it is something you need to look at, very closely, in preparation for the upcoming review.

Where does your attention need to be, right now?

Remember that Vesta is about devotion. In Virgo, mundane details and improvements (the little things) are sacred.
