Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week begins on a rather complicated and conflicted note, Virgo, so don’t be too surprised if Monday, the 6th, feels like a bit of a slog when nothing seems to work out the way you planned or expected. It’s hard enough right now with Mercury currently retrograde, but on this particular day the Sun in Cancer and your outgoing 11th House of Social Networks and Global Communities will form a jarring and uncomfortable square with icy Saturn in Aries and your secretive 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding. The space between the public and the private could become an extremely uncomfortable place under this transit, so if you suddenly feel like you’ve been put in the glaring spotlight, well, it isn’t your imagination. You may feel like you need to keep your cards close to your chest while everyone else lays theirs out on the table, but remember that just because other people are doing one thing doesn’t mean you need to follow their example. Follow your intuition, but also know when it can be wise to try doing things a little differently.

Next, on the 7th, Neptune will turn retrograde in your private 8th House s for the almost the entire remainder of the year, which should bring some soothing energy to your personal life, since your 8th House is just about the most extreme sector of your chart, since it can deal with everything from sex, death, and major finances. During this time, you’ll be able to gain more clarity around these intense issues, and won’t find nearly as many complications waiting to trip you up, especially when it comes to other people.

Now, you can play the wallflower better than most, but enough of that! On the 9th romantic Venus will leave Leo and your nebulous 12th House of the Subconscious and move into your sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression and Action for the next four weeks. Use this time to hit the restart button on your love life and start fresh with someone special, be they new or already by your side. This is also a wonderful time to indulge in life’s pleasures, as Venus wants to bestow all her bounty on you while she can. There’s a lot to be gained from this, so stay open to the possibilities.

Last but not least, your ruler Mercury will conjoin the Sun in Cancer and your 11th House on the 12th This is a great time for touching base with old friends or seeing what you might have missed while you’ve been busy elsewhere, but remember that Mercury is still retrograde so avoid trying to make new acquaintances or joining new groups, because Mercury wants you to focus on the people already in your life. Likewise, someone from the past could appear to team up on a project or with an amazing proposition, but take your time before signing any dotted lines and be sure to read the fine print.
