Mercury in Virgo

Mercury is said to rule Virgo, therefore this is a very strong placement for the planet that governs the exchange of ideas and information. When Mercury is in Virgo, people's thoughts are centered on their work. They are more detail oriented, but may be unable to see the big picture before them.  Their thinking is more logical and they are usually more efficient and get more done. They may engage in more communication with their co-workers, especially thought text, phone calls, and emails in addition to one-one-one conversations. Anything dealing with writing or technology is easier now. 

The area of life governed by Virgo in your natal chart is the area of life where you will think more clearly, logically, and generally be more efficient.

Example 

Mercury in Virgo and the 11th House 

When Mercury is in Virgo and the 11th house, you think more about the future and while you are open to new and different concepts and ideas you consider them with a critical mindset. Your thoughts and ideals run more to the unusual, original, and unconventional.  You can conceive innovations solutions to problems now. You want to associate with people who are intelligent and with whom you can develop an exciting mental rapport with a focus on the exchange of information and ideas. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planet is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, let us suppose that you have Saturn in 2° Cancer, then this would mean that Transit Mercury is applying a sextile to your Natal Saturn. When Mercury is sextile Saturn your mind is clearer and you have more mental discipline. You can use your mind to bring more order to your life.

How will the ingress of Mercury into Virgo manifest for you?
