Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week ushers in several different themes for you, Virgo, but they are all going to be quite exciting and stimulating, so you have a lot to look forward to. The first important change arrives on the 18th, when action-planet Mars leaves Aries and your all-or-nothing 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, and moves on to Taurus and your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure. This transit is all about getting out into the world in order to do some exploring, but even if you can’t go very far, you can still be something of an armchair explorer rather than a literal one, and broaden your horizons by learning a thing or two about other sectors of the globe. This same sector is also the realm of self-edification, so start looking up ways to improve yourself because by improving yourself you can also improve your net worth; new skills means new things you can charge for. If going back to school sounds appealing, then how about checking out some online courses? You could gain a lot of knowledge without having to leave your own home, but there’s lots to be found far, far away.

Also on the 18th, loving Venus will leave Gemini and your ambitious 10th House of Career where she has been rotating since late April and move on to Cancer and your 11th House of Global Networks and Extended Friendships for the next four weeks. After orienting so much attention to your achievements and obligations, you’ll finally get to pursue a few more pleasurable activities, but whether these are more platonic or passionate remains to be seen. Couples can have a great time hanging out with groups, while singles should play the field and make use of all the social opportunities on offer in this sector. If you’re more concerned with platonic connections, Venus can help you form lots of new contacts who will prove lucrative down the line.

However, just in case you thought it was time to kick back and enjoy yourself, there is one last changing of the guard that is going to reorient your attention to the work at hand. On the 20th the Sun enters Gemini and your 10th House of Career, bringing the cosmic concentration onto your professional efforts. The Sun will be moving through this sector of your chart for the next month, so get ready to roll up your sleeves and make it rain because the Universe is blessing all your efforts right now. This is wonderful for working your way up life’s great ladder and for getting recognition for the work you’ve done, while also pursuing new and exciting opportunities that can increase your scope of influence. This sector also rules VIPs so don’t be shy about asking for a bit of help because you never know who will open what doors for you! Have your elevator pitch ready to go at a moment’s notice so you don’t waste any chances when they land in your lap!
