VIRGO (Aug. 22 – Sept. 21)
Hooking a big client or backer is one thing, but reeling him in will prove to be quite a different story. That’s because Mercury, planet of deals and the wheels that make them happen, turns retrograde on Aug. 12. Mercury retrogrades are famous for introducing unforeseen complications and delays. Most people get frustrated when this happens and will either push too hard or give up too easily. However if you were to take the long view of matters and treat this period as three steps forward and two steps back then you will wind up landing that prize catch of yours near Sept. 19.
