What does this mean for us? Virgos are known for loving precision and honing every detail. They take great care of their work and are very analytical and practical.

We are likely to go through a process of weighing our thoughts are processes - do we really need to do things the way we do them? Is there a better way? Do we really need to express that thought? What good can come of it? And so on.

Focusing on details and how to improving things is going to be come more naturally to us during this transit, but maybe that is also something to watch out for - that we don’t get down the rabbit hole of perfection, and of course, the mind killer - overthinking.

Careful as well not to be too matter-of-fact when we express ourselves as it can come off as insensitive or just clearly not interested.
