Virgo Weekly Horoscope

More exciting news comes later in the week, and this one should make you extra-happy. On Thursday, your planetary protector, Mercury, corrects course, ending three weeks of frustrating miscues, mishaps and maddening tech glitches. The messenger planet shifted into reverse on April 1 and has been back-stroking through Aries and your eighth house of intimacy and seduction, which may have been intense AND frustrating! The lure of forbidden fruit (perhaps with an ex) may have lured you away from a stable relationship. Or maybe you've been silently stewing in an angry soup of jealousy, resentment or unrequited lust. When you tried to clear the air, words failed you, and instead of taking the high road you like you planned to, you wound up blurting out things you promised yourself you wouldn't.

Even if someone else attempted to initiate "the talk," your own reactions may have been stormier than you'd have preferred. This is why Mercury snapping out of retrograde will come as blessed relief. Finally, you can drop your defenses and take it from the top. As the messenger planet sails forward through your eighth house until May 15, it'll feel safe to share your feelings and take steps toward repairing any rifts. Relationships that are worthy of your time could strengthen now and over the coming few weeks. And no, Virgo, it’s not too late to lay your cards on the table and let the other person know what’s in your heart.
