There’s a Mercury cazimi in Virgo coming this weekend — and it’s time to talk tough love and concrete clarity, folks.

Cazimi comes from the Arabic word kaṣmīmī, which translates to “as if in the heart.” In astrological terms, a cazimi transpires when a planet is in close or exact conjunction with the sun, right in the infernal heart of it, if you will.

A Mercury cazimi occurs when our planet of the mind and the mouth, poetry and slander, short trips and high wires, is within one degree of the GOAT star in our solar system.

A cazimi is something of a solar amplifier/purifier — where the inherent energy of a planet is hyped and heightened by its proximity to the sun.

This week, on Saturday, September 13, that energy is the fine tooth and sharp claw of Virgo.

In Virgo, Mercury is both at home and exalted, meaning the planet of the silver, slippery tongue and the loaded phrase can best express its powers and lend its might to epiphanies.

“This Mercury cazimi can bring us interesting insights, revealing approaches we have not considered before, and information that was hidden. Imagine thinking about something for a long time without reaching a conclusion, and then, on this day, suddenly finding clarity,” Polina Arutiunian, an astrologer and spiritual advisor at Nebula, told The Post.

As Mercury rules thought, and Virgo is a tactile earth sign, now is an excellent time to commit ideas to paper. What comes through and gets put down now may prove valuable in the future.

Arutiunian notes that this week’s Mercury cazimi is also conjunct the South Node — a point that represents past lives and karmic debts.

“This alignment can reveal something significant connected to your past, as if a long-awaited puzzle piece finally falls into place.”

This cazimi is taking place during the fated period known as the “eclipse portal,” where shocking, upending, and life-altering information or events are likely to be leveled at us, heightening the power of this transit.

While we’ll all be under the influence of this cazimi, three signs in particular will be most sensitive to its effects.

“Ruled by Mercury, Gemini and Virgo are representatives of the planet’s energy — inquisitive, intellectual and rational,” said Arutiunian.

She shared that this cazimi comes correct with major revelations for and from both signs.

“You may receive news connected to past situations, or even encounter someone from your past. The Universe may draw your attention to details that are worth noticing. It’s also a favorable day for public speaking, whether as a presenter, mediator, or teacher.”

For Geminis, now is an auspicious time to clear the air on familial matters and/or speak calmly and compassionately about a delicate issue from the past. Remember that words can be both soft and true.

For Virgos, whose tongues can be both blade and balm, remember that what you say is the billboard advertisement for who you are. Speak as if your every utterance were being committed to the collective memory — choose your words like you’re choosing your own eulogy.

“The sign of Leo is under the protection of the energy of the Sun, and on this day, it is colored by Mercury’s manifestations,” said Arutiunian.

For lions, this cazimi is going down and flaring up in their second house of wealth and worth, meaning words can both wound and weld today. Arutiunian predicts that Leos could operate as avatars of Mercury, uncovering truth, meddling with meaning and/or delivering vital news.

“Overall, this day can inspire fresh ideas and open opportunities to engage with Mercury-related matters, such as starting a new course of study, becoming a student, or resolving issues related to essential documents, transportation, or upcoming trips.”
