Mercury is stationing in Virgo. If the planet prefers to break free from the influence of Uranus and Pluto - too bad! Not happening. Mercury is also stressed by Mars.
If you're looking for an upside, Neptune is not involved here. It's nice
to be able to cut through the abundant fog.
I find myself juggling mental tasks. No, Mr. Bank. I will not be paying $12 a month for a checking account. This is a very good time to cut and run.
I see people cutting purchases, like groceries or brands they used to buy, due to the rising costs. I think people underestimate
their own ingenuity. The stress in August may bring this out.
This whole business favors efficiency. It's nice after so much time spent meandering. Saturn and Neptune are retro (relaxing) in Pisces. This allows all the fiery, decisive mental energy to come through.
I see (more) edgy puns, all over the place. Is it delusional to hope
(Jupiter) people lighten up (Gemini)?
