And right on cue, Saturn retrograde in Aries serves up a reality check on other imbalances, like where you might be under- or overextending yourself.

Virgos are the zodiac’s premier preppers, so you’ll want to plan ahead of your mentor planet Mercury spinning retrograde in late October by getting everything up to date and in order beforehand. And perhaps ask yourself: What am I ready to release, and what do I want to welcome in?
