Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week can feel like a bit of a relay race, Virgo, except that you have no idea what direction you’re supposed to be running towards. First things first, on the 30th, your ruler Mercury will complete its tour of Libra and your income sector, and will bound into Scorpio and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications for an extended tour. You’ve spent so much time working on new projects and concepts and now it’s time to take those ideas out into the world and share them with other people. This sector also highlights collaboration so keep an eye out for potential dynamic duos who could boost you along the way. Keep in mind, however, that Mercury will turn retrograde here at the end of October for three weeks, so pay attention to the themes that come up for inspection now, as they will surely be coming back around for a second look in the near future. You should also avoid believing people at face value right now, or getting wrapped up in gossip, because it could come back to bite you when Mercury turns retrograde.

Speaking of retrogrades, on the 3rd, Venus, the planet of love and money, will turn retrograde for the next six weeks, putting the cosmic kibosh on all kinds of pleasures. The major rules of thumb during this time are to avoid any major makeovers or style changes, any major spending sprees, and any major heartfelt confessions or proposals; in other words, if Venus normally does it, then don’t do it right now. Since she’ll be backstroking through Socprio and your 3rd House until October 24th, at which point she will back up into Libra and your 2nd House of Earned Income for the remainder of this cycle, before eventually turning direct on November 13th (the same day that Mercury will turn direct) so there is no need to rush off into the future just yet, because there are some things to fix and review in the here and now.

Things wind down with a bit of a bang right on Sunday (or is it a traffic jam?) when the Sun in Libra and your money-oriented 2nd House forms its annual opposition to sober Saturn, currently making its way through Aries and your intense 8th House of Lump Sums and Shared Resources. Perhaps someone calls in a debt you’re less than eager to pay off, or you realize you’re going to need to make more money in order to afford the things you want. While this transit can throw a few roadblocks up your way, don’t let them get you down permanently; this transit is only temporary, and the heaviness will dissipate soon enough. Saturn does indeed reward hard work and strategy, so think of this as an opportunity for slow growth, rather than a total dead end.
