Mercury in Virgo
Mercury is the shape of your attention: how you take the world in, turn it over, and hand it back as words.
Mercury in Virgo — from your Starborn reading
The comma matters to a Virgo Mercury, and so does the word you almost used instead. Your mind is a workshop of small corrections: you proofread menus, catch the wrong 'their,' and revise a text three times before sending four plain words. This isn't fussiness, it's care made visible, the belief that precision is a form of respect. You learn by taking things apart to see the mechanism. The inner critic runs loud, useful when aimed at the work, cruel when aimed at you. At your best, you make the complicated usable, and hand it back cleaner than you found it.
