Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week can feel rather intense in the early stages, but there is a sense of freedom and openness arriving over the weekend, Virgo. For the last couple of months, your ruler Mercury has been traveling through Pisces and your 7th House of Relationships and Contracts; a business matter could have required some renegotiating or a partner could have turned out to be less than all they were cracked up to be, especially since Mercury was retrograde for part of this phase, making it difficult to see eye to eye with anyone close to you, be they a lover, business partner, or close friend.

Come the 14th, however, your focus shifts as Mercury dives into Aries and your intense 8th House of Deep Bonding and Shared Resources, changing the program to something very different. During the next couple of weeks, you’re going to encounter a lot of issues regarding what’s yours and what belongs to other people, and how much of yourself you are willing to share. At times, this transit can feel very difficult, but it can also bring you sudden windfalls and unexpected opportunities, so keep your wits about you and there’s no reason you can’t emerge from this cycle with plenty of good things to show for it. That being said, this sector also rules the deeper issues of life, such as sex and death, so don’t think this will be all about keeping track of nitty-gritty matters; this is a deeply transformative time of year for you, so dive in headfirst and shed some old layers.

This theme continues to take center stage on the 17th with the beautiful New Moon in Aries and your transformative 8th House, putting the focus on the most intense aspects of your life. This would be a wonderful time to start closely examining the financial opportunities available to you, and establishing new ways to make your money grow in leaps and bounds; this would also be a good time for taking out a loan or getting a credit extension, as you are sure to get the amount you need, and perhaps even more. Since the 8th House is also very sensual territory, you might be growing closer to someone special, but 8th House sexuality is very different than 5th House sexuality, which is all light-hearted and kick-your-legs-in-the-air type of energy; the 8th House is about breaking down barriers and bonding on a deeper level, so only get involved with someone if you truly want to get to know them in a very intimate fashion.

As extreme as all this energy is, you get to shake it off over the weekend when the Sun jumps into Taurus and your freedom-seeking 9th House of Foreign Cultures and Expansion on the 10th. While the world might have felt very tight and boxed in lately, all of a sudden, it’s going to feel like someone kicked open a door and a few windows to boot. It’s time to go out into the world and see what opportunities you can uncover; the further you go beyond what you already know, the more fulfilling the results will be. It’s time to spread your wings!
