It’s hard to believe, but September’s officially here. Not only is summer coming to an end, but Mercury’s also preparing to station retrograde through the cosmos once again. Taking place at least three times every year, Mercury retrogrades are pretty common, but that unfortunately doesn’t make them any less challenging — especially in the midst of Virgo season. Since Virgo is the productive, detail-oriented sign that’s ruled by Mercury, everyone’s bound to have difficulty communicating and effectively processing information this week, especially since there’s a full moon also culminating overhead in the idealistic, expansive sign of Pisces — a sign far less concerned with precision. With plenty on the agenda, your September 5, 2022 weekly horoscope is all about embracing ideals and aspirations while placing details on the backburner.

On Sept. 9, Mercury will station retrograde at 8 degrees of Libra, encouraging you to review and revise conversations taking place in the Libra-ruled house of your birth chart. As the cardinal, air sign of balance, justice, and unity, there’s a desire to understand both sides of a story, but challenges may arise when it comes to organizing this information.

The next day on Sept. 10, a full moon in the mutable, water sign of Pisces will take place, revealing dreams, hopes, and ideals in this area of your birth chart. As Virgo’s sister sign, this energy is far less concerned with logic and details as opposed to the bigger picture. With this energy happening simultaneously with Mercury retrograde, expect to feel a little scatter-brained this week, but hopeful and inspired nonetheless.

Here’s what every zodiac sign can expect from this week’s busy astrological weather:
