Your Horoscope for Virgo
by Susan Miller
The changes you see are being driven in large part by you. If you are tired of a limiting situation, you will rebel against it. If your company has been struggling financially, you may leave, but with support from transiting planets, it appears you are personally safe financially.
Romantically and socially, your sweetest day of the month will be August 12 when Venus and Jupiter conjoin in compatible Cancer (or August 11, depending on your time zone). When the planet of love (Venus) and the planet of happiness, luxury, and growth (Jupiter) meet in the eleventh house of joy, friendship, and social activity, that is headline news. Jupiter and Venus only meet once a year, but always in a different sign. They haven’t met in Cancer since June 3, 2002! This is incredibly special. August 12 is a Tuesday, but who cares? Go out and have fun.
SUMMARY
You have been busy because action Mars has been in Virgo, and you likely found that the people who mattered most were paying attention to all you had to say. Mars will leave Virgo on August 6, so use the first days of August to your full advantage by scheduling important meetings and actions—personal or professional.
Your ruling planet Mercury has been retrograding in Leo since July 18 but will go direct on August 10. It is likely that some tasks had to be tweaked and redefined during this period. It’s August, and many people are away on vacation. Delays will benefit you, so this is one of those rare times of the year when you can safely take a deep breath, reflect on past weeks, and proceed slowly.
