Also today, Mercury Enters Virgo, joining Venus and Mars - also currently in Virgo, at 5:43pm EST through October 3rd.  This is a longer stay than usual as Mercury will retrograde in Virgo August 20 - September 12, as an early warning.  Virgo is one of the signs ruled by Mercury, the other is Gemini, so this transit is helpful for:  planning, organization, good / beneficial travels (until it's in retrograde that is), "fixing" what is broken, and general mental stimulation / concise communications. 

Many people's "inner critic" may come out now which can be very beneficial in reviewing items, picking out and correcting flaws.  Virgo frequently gets a bad wrap as the "critic" and being overly nit-picky.  When overdone, that is a problem, as most things are when overdone.  However, when dealt with in proportion and context, it is very beneficial.
