Virgo Monthly Horoscope

Pace yourself, Virgo. The Sun is in Leo and your twelfth house of rest for the first three weeks of the month, turning your focus away from your worldly obligations and toward doing vital inner work. Spend time in solitude and quiet contemplation, getting back in touch with your true desires. Or duck behind the scenes to finish up any lingering projects that can’t be put off any longer. The twelfth house rules completions, so you’ll be happy to get it all done before Virgo season begins on August 22.

Once the Sun swings into Virgo and your fresh-start first house on August 22, you'll be ready for the vibrant possibilities that are headed your way. What could be stopping you from dreaming big? You’ll find out through wounded healer Chiron, which began its first visit to Taurus and your ninth house of limitless possibilities on June 19. Where were you told you were “too much” or “who do you think you are?” or in some way discouraged from dreaming? Whether it was a relative, a teacher or your own inner critic, you internalized that. 

On August 3, Chiron turns retrograde, helping you dial back to that time and heal that inner child whose expression got stifled. Chiron will reverse through Taurus until September 17, then back into Aries, making its final lap before returning to Taurus for an extended stay next April.

Ready or not, there could be a swift change in your career focus (and your strategic networks) on August 28, when the Pisces lunar (full moon) eclipse pings your partnership sector. You might officially join forces or get a major offer out of the blue. An alliance that's been building over the past six months could come full-circle now. You may also part ways with a key collaborator you've outgrown or have an air-clearing conversation that makes you love your work again.
