Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week can feel a little pressurized, like you’re being forced to grow and shift in ways that may not be entirely comfortable as they are happening, but will eventually yield positive results, like working a muscle that has been atrophied for a long time, but can make you much stronger and more capable in the long run, but that is only if you actually use it. This energy begins to take shape on Wednesday, the 8th, when fiery Mars in Pisces and your 7th House of Relationships makes a rare sextile to change-maker Uranus in Taurus and your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, encouraging you to broaden your horizons, preferably with someone interesting and invigorating by your side. Uranus is all about going against the grain, so you could meet someone at this time who does things completely different to the way you are used to doing them, and although this might ruffle your feathers at first, it seems you’ll realize quite quickly that there is actually more than a little bit of rhyme and reason to this person’s methodology. The more open you are to other ways of doing things, the more likely you are to get something quite special out of this shocking vibration; be sure to avoid any judgmental tendencies!

This energy takes a turn the very next day when Mars leaves Pisces and moves into Aries and your transformative 8th House of Deep Bonding and Shared Resources for the next six weeks. This is going to be an extensive dive into the deepest layers of your psyche, as this transit really encourages you to get into the weeds and do some major exploring of what, exactly, makes you tick. As stated, this realm of your chart deals with shared resources and major finances, so be careful about racking up a large credit card bill during this period, and if you have your assets tied up with anyone else’s then they might come into the foreground for discussion during the next two months before Mars moves on again. Mars is also considered quite a sexy planet, and can increase the heat in certain pleasurable ways, and the 8th House can be quite erotic in nature, but this is not in the light-hearted fashion of the 5th House, but rather in the sense that the 8th House encourages deep soul bonding and breaking down barriers that are keeping you from connecting even more deeply with others. This energy is hardly gentle, but it can transform your life for the better.

That being said, don’t be shocked if things seem a little off or strange on Sunday night, as Mars and Neptune will conjoin in Aries and your 8th House, marking the first time since the mid-1800s these two have aligned in this potent territory. Mars is fire and drive, while Neptune is water and mysticism, so do not be surprised one bit if you find yourself uncertain about your desires or how you want to proceed in the world. Clarity won’t be optimal, so avoid dedicating yourself to things that may lose their allure under less confusing skies.
