With the Sun in Virgo, we may find ourselves, all of us, taking a hard look at our purpose and progress. That kind of reflection comes into play as we confront a deluge of choices.
Some of our everyday decisions might seem to be of little consequence, but Virgo knows even small choices do matter. At each decision point, there is a shift in direction that could take us down new paths. These could take us toward enjoyment or bring us new responsibility, as is the case with Venus trine Saturn, or toward self-enrichment as opposed to serving the greater good, as when Mars squares Jupiter.
The world is constantly reacting to the little choices you make. They define your character and place among the cosmic order. Choose your path wisely.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Prioritize yourself this week. It’s easy to get tripped up by others, but focus on your own needs and responsibilities and don’t let anyone get in the way of your growth and progress.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
There may be some difficult choices ahead, but they should be made with courage. Great harm may come if you act out of fear. Instead, let kindness and compassion guide you.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
The choices before you may not be exactly what they at first appear to be. Allow yourself the time to make well-thought-out decisions; resist being pressured into choosing in haste.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Your emotional well-being will depend on your ability to separate yourself from a difficult situation. There is no need to become invested in pursuits that are not your own to solve.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
It would be a stretch to call you naive, but there are some aspects of the real world in which you are not well versed. Don’t fall prey to a superiority complex: your pride could deny you an opportunity to learn.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Call it as you see it, because censoring yourself does not serve anyone. You know that mediocrity shouldn’t be tolerated for the sake of someone else’s ego.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Sometimes all you need to do to solve a problem is to apply a little pressure. If conflict is inevitable, then so be it. A small skirmish will always be better than an all-out war.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Holding back will give you a clearer perspective on the decisions at hand. Don’t rush in. You have the time to weigh your options and make wise decisions. And remember, you’re always allowed to change your mind.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
When you’re in survival mode, you’re not always able to make the best choices. Can you change the frame? Acting from a place of emotional security will save you from making risky decisions.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You can’t succeed if you’re playing by the wrong rules. There are some old habits that aren’t letting you move past your current state of being. There is wisdom in recognizing when it’s time to let go.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Holding on to grievances isn’t helping you. Learning from your mistakes requires accepting your failures and moving on so you don’t end up in the same mess as before. That won’t be easy, but then growth rarely is.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Don’t let anyone fool you into believing that caring is a weakness. Putting your whole heart into something requires a great deal of strength, and sometimes things just don’t turn out the way you’d hoped. Don’t let knowing that stop you from trying.
