The Sun shifts out of Leo this week, heralding the season of Virgo. May practicality and dependability reign supreme.
Virgo season starts off strong with its ruling planet Mercury sextile both Mars and Jupiter. Even with Mercury retrograding, these placements give a big boost to anyone working on personal growth.
Virgo, Gemini, and Leo will feel this energy more than others, but everyone is able to tap into it — or at least we will if we’re willing to be honest about who we want to be and are ready to show up for ourselves and for our communities.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
If you’re trying to foster a good relationship with someone, it might be better to hold your tongue this week. Then again, not every relationship is meant to last.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Your stubbornness and expectations are a roadblock to your own growth. An all-or-nothing mindset will give you a whole lot of nothing. Best to work cooperatively with others, even when you’re not in perfect alignment.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
It can be frustrating when you have to halt progress on your goals, but backward movement isn’t necessarily failure. Sometimes to go a great distance you need to get a good running start.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Trustworthiness builds strong bonds, and it’s a kind of public service that you provide. It allows for vulnerability. Just by creating the space, you allow others to open up in ways that can be life altering.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Is your self-talk undermining your confidence? The judgments you make about others aren’t building your self-esteem; instead, they’re creating unrealistic expectations about yourself.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
It’s your birthday month: allow yourself to be celebrated, and celebrate your progress instead of only your achievements. That is, take a break from perfectionism and just be a real, whole human being.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Shift your focus to collaboration and connection this week. You don’t have to fight so hard to set yourself apart from others. Like she said, “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
If you spent a little more time communicating what it is you desire, as opposed to expecting others to understand the depths of your soul after one coffee date, you might actually get whatever it is you’re looking for.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
There are some fundamental issues that require your attention if you want to keep everything smooth sailing. If there’s a hole in the hull, maybe it’s not a good time to set sail. Better to focus on repairs.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
It’s possible that you’re creating mountains out of molehills. Don’t let your emotions get in the way of clear and direct communication. Stop fighting when you should just be listening.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You so deeply want to be treated fairly, and you think that if you treat others fairly that will be reciprocated. But that’s not always the case. Choose your company more wisely.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Why are you fighting so hard to keep things the same when you know the only path to growth is change? Change is not easy, but ask yourself if you would be happy doing the same thing you’re doing now for the next 10 years.
