Virgo Weekly Horoscope

There is a lot happening underneath the surface this week, Virgo. The 17th arrives with a balancing Half Moon in Aries and your intimate 8th House of Sex and Secrecy. If there has ever been a moment to disappear behind closed doors with someone and throw away the key it would most certainly be this one; you can let your fantasies take over without any guilt. It’s a great time to break down boundaries and barriers, so don’t be afraid to go there as necessary. This sector also rules shared finances, so you may need to review some financial agreements or take certain action around your money as it involves other people.

You may find yourself feeling rather out of touch with reality this week, although that doesn’t need to be a bad thing. This theme really hits home on the 18th, as messenger Mercury begins a retrograde tour in Leo and your 12th House of Endings where it will be backing up until August 11th, scrambling messages and crossing wires everywhere it goes. The more you try to push against this energy the harder it will be to get things done, so instead of trying to forge ahead with new projects right now, focus on returning to things from the past that could use another looksee; you never know what could turn to gold once you’ve blown off the dust. At times it could feel like you are trying to download signals from the Universe, unable to decipher any of them, and at others you might feel like you’ve got no control over anything because people keep doing things without asking you. The best solution is to go with the flow and avoid committing to anything that will require more than the simplest effort.

Also on the 18th, Venus in Gemini and your 10th House of Career will make a lovely sextile to Mercury, stirring up some exciting opportunities. Venus loves to attract positive attention and enjoy herself wherever she goes, and since she is operating in your professional sector, you can expect her to get to work at the office or wherever you go to earn your paycheck. However, with Mercury retrograde, you will do better to highlight previous work and projects already happening, rather than starting something new or deciding to make a last-minute reveal. Proceed carefully and you will have a lot to show for it.
