Virgo monthly horoscope
Aug 23 – Sep 22 · Earth · Mutable · ruled by Mercury
House of Value: the month ahead
The Sun in Libra
The Sun spends most of the month in your 2nd house of money, so what you own and what you believe you are worth is where your attention and energy naturally collect.
Inner planets
Mercury in Scorpio (your 3rd house), Venus retrograde in Scorpio (your 3rd house) and Mars in Leo (your 12th house) set the tone: your thinking and talk, your affections and values and your drive and desire each work through different parts of your life. Venus is retrograde, so review before you commit.
Moon phases
Last Quarter on Oct 3 in Cancer, lighting your 11th house (friends). New Moon on Oct 10 in Libra, lighting your 2nd house (money). First Quarter on Oct 18 in Capricorn, lighting your 5th house (creativity). Full Moon on Oct 26 in Taurus, lighting your 9th house (travel).
Sky events
Sun enters Scorpio on Oct 23. Venus enters Libra on Oct 25. Venus stations retrograde on Oct 3. Pluto stations direct on Oct 16. Mercury stations retrograde on Oct 24.
The long view
Jupiter in Leo (your 12th house) expands rest, solitude and the inner world, while Saturn retrograde in Aries (your 8th house) asks for patience and structure in intimacy and shared resources.
Advice
Lean on what comes naturally to Virgo: working carefully, practically and with attention to detail. Keep an eye on over-analysis and harsh self-criticism, and make room for your finances and sense of worth.
