Virgo Weekly Horoscope

Spice up your pillow talk or share a burning secret with a trusted soul. This Wednesday, April 16, articulate Mercury makes its second visit to Aries, lingering in your seductive eighth house until May 10. This steamy encore—following a retrograde detour that began March 15—gives you a chance to voice desires that may have gotten tangled in mixed signals last month. Choose your confidantes wisely though. This short, sweet cycle favors intimate connections, ones with a proven track record. If jealousy or insecurity creep in, don’t spiral. Mercury’s mental spin can exaggerate assumptions. If you have questions, don’t waste time trying to fill in the blanks. Confronting the matter head-on can clear the air AND turn up the heat. Bonus: This Mercury cycle also sharpens your money instincts, especially around shared resources or long-term wealth. Whether you’re exploring investments, taxes or a raise tied to performance, your research now could pay off later—literally.

Your industrious sign gets a much-needed sabbatical starting this Friday as fiery Mars decamps to Leo, nestling in your rejuvenating twelfth house until June 17. You may not realize it till you actually take a breather, but between work, hobbies, friends and social obligations, you’re on the verge of burnout. These next eight weeks provide an important opportunity to downshift, recharge your batteries and reconnect to your muse. Hard as it may be, at least initially, resist the temptation to charge into a slew of new projects. If you must do something, focus on wrapping up unfinished business and doing some inner healing (or forgiveness) work. Dreamtime could be full of rich material to mine, so keep a journal on your nightstand and record whatever you remember. The more you do it, the more you may truly recall!
