MERCURY MOVES INTO VIRGO/July 28- October 4, 2023

The last week of July arrives with the moon entering Scorpio bringing emotional introspection adding to the Venus hibernation in Leo which just began last weekend.

Balancing emotional and practical needs continue to squeeze our spiritual evolution as releasing bad habits is on the cosmic agenda.

The lazy days of summer is supported with the beginning of Leo's first week as the Sun heats up the Earth beyond human comfort. Staying cool in the shade napping is the Lion's domain during the heat of the day, reviving after the light lessens.

Mercury, the communication planet, is quickly moving into Virgo this Friday 7/28 to remain until 10/4. Mercury rules over the practical earth sign of Virgo, helping to bring order and discernment to our communications and thinking. Being very precise with words while speaking or writing will be required during this time as Mercury begins it's hibernation the last week of August.

Staying calm and breathing before reacting to harsh words from others will be a saving grace this week as tension heats up alongside the outdoor temperatures of the world.

**Lean into your emotional waves, allowing them to flow through and out of consciousness, releasing those memories that no longer bring happiness- be free and forgive.**
