On September 12, the sun will move into the conjunct aspect with Mercury. You know how Mercury retrograde messes with the way we communicate? Well, with sun conjunct Mercury, you’ll actually have an easier time expressing yourself and communicating with others. This aspect is usually highly beneficial, especially at a time of new beginnings. September is the start of a new season, a new school year, and a time to start fresh, so with sun conjunct Mercury, making new connections will be a simple process. Here’s what to expect:
- Your mind might feel a little bit scrambled.
But don’t panic! Remember, communication is actually EASIER when the sun is conjunct Mercury, despite the fact that you might feel like you’re overthinking everything. Rather, you’re finally taking the time to thoroughly process your thoughts on a given matter. So while you might feel like you’re overanalyzing, you’re probably not-you’re just thinking more deeply than usual, and it won’t negatively impact your communication skills.
- It’s a great time to clean and organize.
All those unanswered e-mails in your inbox? Either hit reply or send them to the trash. The growing pile of paperwork on your desk? Carve out an hour or two to sort through the whole thing, and get some kind of filing system in place. The energy that results when the sun moves conjunct to Mercury inspires us to clean both our mental and physical space, so it’s a great time to tackle any messy areas in your home or your office. Having everything organized as we head into fall will make planning for the upcoming holiday season much less stressful-you’ll be thanking yourself for the cleaning frenzy by the time Halloween rolls around!
- Do some serious planning for the rest of the month.
You know how it can be really difficult to make plans during Mercury retrograde? The exact opposite is true of sun conjunct Mercury. Because communication is easier, planning is simpler, too. Plans made during this time will generally come to fruition, and creating a schedule and sticking to it won’t feel like a chore. Do yourself a favor and sort our your schedule for the rest of September.
- Get ready to move up in your professional life.
When the sun is conjunct Mercury, things will be calm and efficient in the office. Because people are able to express themselves clearly and honestly, projects will be completed more quickly and day to day tasks will be completed ahead of time. If you’ve been thinking of approaching your boss with an issue or an idea, or even asking for a raise, now just might be the time to do it-the universe is on your side! Your boss and your coworkers will be more open to fresh ideas and ways of doing things, so now is the time to bring up any concerns you have about the way things are usually run. People will be feeling more open minded than usual, so they will be more receptive to change in general.
