General Daily Insight for September 02, 2025
It’s the perfect day to get ourselves sorted. Mercury begins things by forming an ephemeral quincunx to Saturn, showing us a way forward — even if the road isn’t entirely clear at first. Fortunately, the road becomes much more visible when Mercury marches into Virgo at 9:23 am EDT, setting us up for two weeks of clear-sighted thinking and efficient planning. Meanwhile, the Moon in Capricorn will lock into a productive trine with the Sun in Virgo, establishing a sense of order and capability.
