Today's Virgo Planetary Horoscope

Three days before the Sun is due to leave Virgo, bringing your birthday month to a close and within the space of just 16 minutes, first the Moon and then Venus returns. The Moon has come full circle from a New Moon at the start of your birthday month, but this time to begin the lead up to an eclipsing New Moon, which as a solar eclipse has a lot more weight behind it when it comes to new beginnings. Venus is able to ride that wave as she returns to give your heart a voice and over the next three and a half weeks, set your desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year.

Planetary Love

Because the Moon and Venus, the planet of love will leave a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and return to Virgo within 16 minutes of each other today, this will create a fairly dramatic shift. Where the nostalgic lunar vibes of the last few days have helped to embrace the final days of Venus' nostalgic trip down love's memory lane, as they both return to Virgo, the focus not only shifts to the future, but the lead up to an eclipsing New Moon brings an opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings.

Virgo Planets

Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, and analysis, Virgo is distinguished by its meticulous nature and keen attention to detail. Mercury grants Virgos strong analytical skills and a practical approach to problem-solving, making them exceptional at organizing and optimizing various aspects of their lives.

During the Sun's transit through Virgo, from approximately August 23 to September 22, the sign's intrinsic qualities of diligence, precision, and service are magnified. This period is perfect for refining processes, focusing on self-improvement, and attending to health and well-being. The Sun in Virgo promotes an energy that encourages productivity and a methodical approach to achieving goals.

Mercury's influence on Virgo significantly enhances their mental clarity and efficiency. For instance, when Mercury aligns with the Sun in Virgo, it heightens intellectual abilities and communication skills, making it an ideal time for detailed work, studying, and teaching. On the other hand, a Mercury retrograde period can introduce communication challenges, requiring extra attention to detail to avoid misunderstandings.

Mercury's transits through different signs also notably impact Virgo. When Mercury transits through Virgo itself, it marks a period of heightened mental activity and precision. Virgos may feel a stronger desire to organize, analyze, and improve their surroundings. This transit is ideal for tackling complex tasks, refining skills, and making well-informed decisions.

When Mercury transits more spontaneous signs like Sagittarius or Aries, Virgos need to make adjustments. These periods encourage embracing flexibility and open-mindedness, allowing for more creative and innovative approaches. Although these transits might challenge their usual preference for order, they provide valuable opportunities for personal growth and adaptability.

Other significant planetary influences for Virgo include Saturn and Neptune. Saturn's transit through Virgo brings lessons in discipline and responsibility, emphasizing the importance of hard work and attention to detail. This aspect fosters a structured approach to achieving long-term goals. Neptune, with its dreamy and intuitive energy, enhances Virgo's creativity and spiritual awareness, encouraging a balance between practicality and imagination and compassion.
