Virgo Weekly Horoscope

The energy bubbles up early this week on the 9th with a beautiful New Moon in Scorpio and your 3rd House of Community and Communications, cuing you into all the local happenings in your area. You could become privy to some very interesting soundbites throughout the week, and perhaps garner some information that totally changes the playing field for you. This sector of your chart also rules your siblings, so if you haven’t checked in with a brother or sister for a hot minute this might be the perfect time to call them and have a real conversation–yes, a conversation, not just a text. You could also receive a very interesting offer from far, far away, or decide to return to school to further your field of expertise. Keep an open mind and you’ll be able to field any curveballs coming your way.

Come the 13th, your ruler Mercury is turning direct in Scorpio and your chatty 3rd House. Since Mercury naturally rules the 3rd House, it wouldn’t be one bit surprising if it felt impossible to get a read on people during this retrograde cycle. Happily, you can look forward to things making sense again as Mercury resumes correct course and powers forward. Of course, it may take a week or so for Mercury to get back up to its usual speed, but there will be a change for the better right from the beginning. This is especially helpful for any communication-based projects, like important conversations or contractual matters, so know that you can come to the table and negotiate without fear.

Also on the 13th, you’ll begin to start feeling like your old self again, and not a minute too soon. Pleasure-loving Venus has been spinning backwards in retrograde formation since the start of October, dimming your light and making life feel a little less exciting than you would like it, which is saying something in these already complicated times. Romance has been pretty much off the table ever since she went to sleep, so if you’ve been sloughing along with a relationship, or found it impossible to start something fresh, well, it wasn’t just your imagination.

Since this transit was occurring in first in Scorpio and your buzzy 3rd House, before Venus moved back into Libra and your 2nd House of Income and Material Security for the remainder, money is going to become a lot less complicated over the next few weeks as well; we tend to think of Venus strictly in romantic terms, but she does her part to control our finances, so if the purse strings have felt a little tight lately or your wallet has been a little bit lighter than you would prefer, things should start to get a little more comfortable and you won’t have to be on such a tight budget.
