What will Mercury and Venus retrograde in Virgo and Leo bring between August 5 and August 29, 2024?

Before we had time to prepare for the retrograde of Neptune and Saturn, Mercury appeared on the horizon again, and it will also move in the opposite direction – this time in Virgo, and then in Leo. And this position of the celestial bodies will remain almost all of August, from the 5th to the 29th.

In 2024, Mercury was already in retrograde from April 1 to April 25. This event is known to greatly affect many aspects of our lives, such as trade, flying, business meetings, negotiations. And this time, each zodiac sign will face certain challenges. We learned exactly what they are from an astrologer.

The second cycle of Mercury retrograde begins on August 5 this year and ends on August 29. The planet will retrograde in Virgo until August 15, after which it will move into Leo.

Let’s remember that retrograde is the period when a planet starts moving in the opposite direction of the sign it was in before. From August 5 to August 15, Mercury is in its home sign, Virgo, or “at home.” The calm and practical Virgo always calms down and brings some sense to restless Mercury, forcing us to think more realistically and seriously. Mercury is the planet of compromises and agreements; in Virgo, it takes on the qualities of a know-it-all and a tactician. Therefore, it is important for all signs to double-check their documents. You can also make new deals on favorable terms.

Also, Mercury is in conjunction with Venus in Virgo during this period. Venus is the planet of love, beauty and material wealth, but in Virgo it is in a weak position – it is just learning to express itself, its feelings and needs more openly. In the period from August 5 to 10, it is especially good to work with your fears and complexes that do not allow you to express yourself, to shine with your talents and intellectual abilities. If you have been thinking about going to a psychologist for a long time, learning something new or changing your qualities or image, then this is a good time. From August 11, Mercury will return to Leo, where it is weak, and will stay there until August 29. During this period, a person may experience self-doubt: someone may develop an imposter syndrome, which can lead to devaluation of their achievements.

In astrology, Mercury retrograde is generally considered a bad time for new beginnings in any field. However, it is much more important to consider the position of Mercury in your personal horoscope. For example, if Mercury is retrograde in your natal chart, such periods are not only scary for you personally, but can also be quite positive and influential.

We can also no longer ignore the retrograde Saturn in Pisces from June 26 to November 19, 2024. Therefore, it is better to refrain from starting new businesses, especially real estate purchases and business establishments, from August 5 to August 29. Now is the time to review your financial situation and look for better conditions, for example, for a mortgage, reassess your business strategy, double-check your counterparties and sign new agreements with partners on better terms.

At the same time, Mercury in Leo also supports the development of oratory skills and abilities. The main thing is not to be too harsh and categorical towards yourself and others, not to criticize or speak too harshly, even if the truth is on your side. Choose your words in any conversation. It is best to take a course on communication skills during this period to learn how to negotiate even with a difficult interlocutor. Also, filter information in conversations and chats, as scammers are more active during this period. Check the facts for accuracy, especially if your activities are related to promotion and communication.

The stars also advise you to safely “pull your tails up” and complete old things, even if they are not interesting to you. The conjunction of Mercury and Venus in Virgo also helps to strengthen family relationships.

And of course, the classic interpretation of Mercury retrograde in Virgo emphasizes the need to leave relationships with certain people completely in the past.
