The plus side: as of tonight at 10:18pm Eastern, it’s officially Virgo season, and Mercury also moves into Virgo this week, where it’s extra potent (especially for writers).
The down side: we have several longgggggg void-of-course moon periods this week that mean the work may be more sluggish than we’d like.
As ever, astrology gives us the forecast, and we get to decide what to do with it.
