Your 2024 Venus in Virgo Horoscope: Self-Care Is Sexy

Trade cocktails for mocktails. Decadent Venus leaves hedonistic Leo for healthy Virgo, and suddenly, self-care is sexy. Your Venus in Virgo horoscope for the four-week transit.

Give your love life a healthy makeunder. Reboot routines that will restore your glow. The Venus in Virgo transit (August 4-29, 2024), is an ideal time to adopt regimens that you actually look forward to. Then, revel in the endorphins!

In love, Virgo’s language is performing acts of service. So while you’re self-lavishing, remember to also shower your loved ones with some TLC. With the Venus in Virgo transit, sharing is caring.

This costume change for Venus, the planet of amour, is welcome after her walk across Leo’s flamboyant red carpet since July 11. For some, the shift may feel like a temporary downer. Peak romantic moments are fun, but we have to descend from those highs sooner or later, if only to step back and figure out what they mean for the rest of our lives. If you’re honest, couldn’t you use a moment to pause, organize and integrate your feelings?

Venus in Virgo teaches you the bonding power of simple, repetitive routines. Anchor relationships with scheduled activities: Workout Wednesdays, Fancy Dinner Fridays. Put them on your shared calendar so they actually happen.

Mercury retrograde rides shotgun with Venus in Virgo

The day after Venus moves into Virgo (August 4-29), Mercury turns retrograde in Virgo (August 5-14), then in Leo (until August 28). The summer 2024 Mercury retrograde can create an undercurrent of energy to thwart your best intentions.

This is by no means an excuse not to try to create Virgo-approved routines or tackle your to-do lists. Instead, employ the prefix “re-,” on the things you do: review all your contracts before you sign, renew commitments, reunite with old friends, redecorate a room. You get the idea!

Venus also rules our money, the things we find valuable

If you’ve drained your entertainment budget on a summer of travel, rooftop dinners and outfits to wear to see Taylor Swift, we understand.

Venus in Virgo can help you pause before you tap-to-pay or say yes to spontaneous (and expensive) plans. Maybe organize a fall clothing swap in lieu of another shopping spree and do some homework on future travel destinations now? Just hold off booking anything until Mercury retrograde ends.
