Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week is going to be anything but calm and easy, Virgo, but they say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so if you enter the days ahead with a sense of preparedness, then you should emerge from it all just fine, if not better. The heat gets turned up on Tuesday when action planet Mars will form an aggressive square to nefarious Pluto. Mars is spinning ever through Taurus and your boundless 9th House of Expansion and Foreign Cultures, while Pluto is in Aquarius and your efficient 6th House of Daily Work and Routine; perhaps the travel bug bites and you have the urge to run off and do as you please, but your responsibilities will come calling either way and chain you to your desk or wherever it is that you currently go to earn your paycheck. It’s never fun to acknowledge or deal with whatever you ‘have’ to do, but it looks like this is a day when you’ll have to do exactly that. Interestingly, the Sun in Gemini and your 10th House of Career will actually be trining Pluto at the exact same time, adding a touch of harmony, but the reality is that the square from Mars is so strong and potent that it will likely overpower any mitigating energy from the trine. Pluto certainly isn’t playing around!

The 28th brings its own share of intensity as loving Venus in Cancer and your 11th House of Social Networks and Global Communities forms a rough square to icy Saturn in Aries and your 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding. Any flights of fancy you’ve been pursuing may get a serious check as you realize reality doesn’t quite equal your fantasies. If you’ve been diving in head first then it might be time to wade back into the shallows and get better footing before you try and perform any Olympic stunts. Saturn has his karmic attributes, so if any relationship doesn’t make it through this transit, then you can be pretty sure it wasn’t meant to last in the long term. Likewise, you may need to deal with some financial obligations or pay someone a certain sum of money, which probably won’t be welcome news, no matter how important.

The week closes out with a powerful Full Moon in Sagittarius and your 4th House of Home and Family on the 31st. This could result in spending more time with your family–chosen or biological–or deciding you simply need to do some major nesting. Perhaps the place you hang up your hat is looking a little tired and needs a bit of redecorating. As a sign, Virgo energy is very tasteful, to say the least, so put that to good use and indulge your inner domestic god or goddess. You will feel much more at home with the results, although if moving is something you’ve been contemplating, then you could find the perfect place to hang up your hat in the days and weeks to follow.
