Mercury is now firmly in its retrograde phase within Virgo, which means that it is dredging up past loves, old wounds, and even memories of what has previously happened in this area of your life. With a quiet week in the skies, the universe is giving you a chance to reflect and start weighing your options. The major energetic influences of the week are Virgo and Gemini energy. Both are the ruling signs for Mercury which means that there should be a lot of internal thinking due to the retrograde and even some big moments of growth. Big action may be delayed still this week. There are six retrograde planets this month, but some conversations could take place, especially if they center around truth, intimacy, and vulnerability. And also, if the conversations that need to happen have to do with things that were never discussed in the past. This is you being able to have a chance to reflect more deeply on your own process and then find that way forward based on your own truth and vision and not anyone else’s. many decisions are out of your control when you are in a relationship with another. Still, love will always be exactly what you make of it.

Friday, September 16th Venus in Virgo aligns with Mars in Gemini today, intensifying feelings of both passion and frustration. Suppose your relationship is connected, yet you have been busy with other life matters. In that case, this is a wonderful time for reconnection and deepening your intimate bond. On the other hand, if it feels like you are just biding time until the right moment to end things, or have been questioning the longevity of your relationship, then this will also magnify any existing strains that previously existed. Venus and Mars are celestial lovers, which means that when these two align together, it will always highlight important relationship themes within your life. Saturday, September 17th The Last Quarter Moon occurs in Gemini today, bringing a profound sense of completion to anything that has felt like it has been up in the air or unfinished. In relationships, it should bring a sense of calm and peace as you feel more able to know which direction to head in, especially regarding whether you want to go or stay. It could also provide greater clarity for a deeper commitment or even let go of those external distractions that keep you away from the very type of relationship you are striving to create. Gemini represents the twins, so as the Moon moves through this sign today, it shows that there is always a choice in what action you take and even how you see things. Under this energy, it becomes clear that to work on a relationship is a choice as well, even if it often feels who you love is not.
