Virgo Weekly Horoscope

There is new energy on the way this week, Virgo. Uranus, the planet of surprise, will turn direct on the 3rd up after spending the last few months backstroking through Taurus in retrograde formation. Taurus rules your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, so you may have felt stymied in your efforts to seek out new horizons and experiences. Your thought process and belief system might have also gone through some major changes during this time, but they might not have been easy and they might have even felt like pulling teeth at times, but with Uranus turning direct things will begin to open and ease up for you in a way they haven’t in ages, so look towards the horizon for your satisfaction. Unusual opportunities will begin to arrive with more frequency, but you have every reason to greet them with excitement and joy. Keep in mind, however, that this is the last time until next century that Uranus will be in Taurus, so make good use of this freedom-seeking energy while you can, as it will be about eighty years before it comes back around.

This week continues on a rather surprising note as your ruler Mercury forms a tense square to rebellious Uranus on the 5th. Mercury is currently spinning through Aquarius and your busy 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness, while Uranus is in your far-flung 9th House, so one of these sectors is much more responsible than the other–go ahead and guess which? Under this kind of alignment, your spirituality or belief system could take a hit, or perhaps you encounter a new way of thinking (or believing) that totally changes the way you see the world. Uranus is going to open a door or two whether you like it or not, and what you discover on the other side could radically change the way you operate in your routine existence, so keep an open mind because the results could be quite stupendous.

Things have probably been more than a little hectic at the office recently–or wherever it is you go to earn your living. Over the last couple of weeks, you’ve hosted Mercury in your orderly and efficient 6th House. This phase is normally great for getting down the basics and amplifying your efficiency, but there were a few tough transits that might have caused some problems along the way as well. Fortunately, there is a huge shift in energy on the 6th as Mercury waves goodbye to this sector of your chart and dives into Pisces and your 7th House of Partnerships and Contracts. This is generally a great time for initiating new connections and associations, be they for romance, business, or platonic pleasure, but it is important to note that Mercury will turn retrograde for three weeks at the end of the month, which could throw a wrench in a few of these partnerships. Err on the side of caution; just because it seems like you are on the same page as another person doesn’t mean you actually are.
