VIRGO VIRGO RISING

Batten down the hatches. Mercury is stationing retrograde and bringing hijinks to the home front. While you can’t escape every bit of chaos, you can choose to work with it instead of against it. So stock your pantry with food, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. Make sure none of your appliances need major repairs. And confirm that your electric bill has been paid in full. If household projects still crop up, dive into them with extra flexibility and a good sense of humor. The less attached you are to strict timelines, the better.
