Virgo Weekly Horoscope

Testing 1, 2, 3… Be ready to grab the mic on Monday, November 9, when the year's only Scorpio new moon lands in your communicative third house. If you’ve got something to say, this lunation supports you in speaking clearly and unapologetically. Scorpio energy is deep, serious and potentially transformational, so don’t waste your breath on anything trivial. And don’t take “microphone” too literally, Virgo. Any message you want to convey—whether of a personal or professional nature—you’ll be connected to your core beliefs and will have no problem getting your main points across in a relatable way. Scorpio can also be highly skeptical, which can serve you well. No matter how strongly someone is pitching a product or an event, stay a bit suspicious. Until you have hard evidence, take nothing at face value. The third house also represents your immediate surroundings, which may be humming with intriguing activity. If a local venue or organization keeps popping into your mind, drop in and strike up a conversation. Need a little creative inspo? Reacquaint yourself with your journal, sketchpad or instrument and let your imagination lead the way. Pro tip for Virgos: Try to muzzle your inner critic until there’s something to edit!

You don’t have to wait for a bolt of genius to strike to put pen to paper. On Friday, both Mercury and Venus resume forward motion after weeks-long retrogrades. The first to pivot is your cosmic custodian, communicator Mercury, who’s been retrograde in Scorpio and your expressive third house since October 24. If the past three weeks have been rife with jumbled signals and mixed messages, you’ll really appreciate the return of clarity by the end of the week. With the celestial messenger back on track, you can clear up any confusion that ensued and do damage control. Even better, ideas will flood in at a rate you may not be able to keep up with. So keep a notepad handy and make sure you know how to use the recording app on your phone (or download one). Is there someone you need to apologize to—or forgive? Put that at the top of your to-do list so you can move on to more exciting projects!

Later on Friday, values-oriented Venus ends her six-week retrograde, and romance and finances will begin to pick up speed. Her reverse-commute began in Scorpio and your communication sector on October 3 and then, on October 25, she about-faced into Libra and your second house of emotional and financial stability. While the purpose of her retrograde is to give you an extended opportunity to reflect on your resources and how you manage them, it often plays out as presenting challenges in those areas. Hopefully any speed bumps you encountered have led to new awareness and given you a sense of the path forward. Now, with Venus correcting course, you’ll begin to feel like your old self again—and maybe better than you have in ages! Lucky Venus here until December 4 could also bring a surprising payday from out of the blue. Cha-ching!
