Virgo 2023

Love now needs to live up to the dream you have of it as Saturn joins Neptune in Pisces and your 7^th this year. Along with this change comes Pluto’s arrival in your house of work and wellbeing. Clearing the way towards transforming what you do each day and bringing a healthy dose of self-care and passion alchemy.

You start the year with a meeting between Venus and Pluto in your house of lovers, children and what you love to do, Virgo. It’s a scene setting conjunction for you when it comes to the future of relationships. Does that love measure up? Are you doing what you love (I could say as well as who but that wasn’t me, that was Pluto!). Pluto has just a few more months in this house before it enters your 6^th of all things Virgo-centric. The power of your pristine focus and attention to what you love will transform your everyday life in unimaginable ways over the next few years. For now, however, you’ll be looking at what changes love has brought you in terms of your romantic life, babies, children, young people and parenting. Or your creativity and ways you show your sparkle, stand out and shine. What occurs at the very start of January is a scene setter or stealer and shows you what is possible in love from here on in.

The past 2.5 years may have seen you having to make a concerted effort to get things done. You have had to remain focussed, the pandemic may have brought in additional restrictions for you. You may have felt unappreciated, had to work alone or even wondered if you were on the right path. This may have taken a tool on you – mind, body and spirit. The good news is that Saturn which has been responsible for much of this, also changes signs this year. Moving to join Pisces in your 7^th from March 7. In here, it hands you the knowledge that only the truest and most serious love is worthy of you, Virgo. It will ground that existing love in reality, bring about commitments (as in ‘Put a ring on it’) and also put an end to time wasting on frogs. This is about real, sustaining love choices. Not fantasy.

February/March always brings you your yearly partnership peak where double acts, duets and dynamic and dramatic duos of all descriptions are in focus. Saturn allows you to get very clear on what or who it is you need. And pledge your intention. One of the most important full Moons of the year occurs the day Saturn shifts in your 1^st. Do see who is in focus on that day. This is your partnership truth, your end or your beginning depending on who it is and the connection between you.

Being Mercury ruled you are the retro boss. So, you will also appreciate the return of retro Ceres into your 1^st on March 22. This allows for a win/win or new deal between you and another. Compromise is always the key. But also Ceres will show you if this is too one sided and you are giving away far too much now.

Party pooping Mercury happens to be retro during your birthday cycle and this also coincides with retrograde Venus in your 12^th from 23 July until September 4. Pleas place new loves and new plans on hold during this time. However, the past may turn into the present thanks to a meeting between Mercury and retro Venus on July 27 and a beautiful Blue Full Supermoon in your 7^th on August 31. Take it if this occurs this is a re-gift, Virgo. And possibly one you were secretly dreaming of or hoping for.

Power Rising

You begin the year with Jupiter in your other money zone. Your house of personal power, shared assets and resources. Your salary, investments, benefits, taxes, legacies, payouts and joint accounts/ property. You will see the North Node arrive in here from July setting a new financial destiny or cycle of sexy soul empowerment in motion. As well as an extremely rare Hybrid Solar Eclipse in this house on April 20. These are so rare this is the first one in here in 159 years. A Hybrid Eclipse is when all three eclipse types – Total, Annular and Partial are visible depending on where one views it from. Take it that this means your point of view and another’s may not align now. It’s all about perspective and point of view and this may differ from the actual facts. Which you know may be hidden or obscured.

Do avoid making long term decisions or agreements under this eclipse. Especially around financial matters or even around a long term relationship. Such as ending or beginning a marriage, career move etc. And look to hidden themes around pressure, control, gaslighting or manipulation. If someone is trying to hurry you along that’s a black flag under this eclipse. This is a ‘black’ new Moon which triggers the eclipse after all.

The antidote to all this? Freedom and evolution! Jupiter lands in its ruling 9^th cloud busting eclipse confusion and along with Uranus in here delivering sudden, exciting and electrifying opportunities to head down a new path. Travel, foreigners, the law, universities, the mass media, lucky breaks, expansion, big loves, the great outdoors and far, far away call to you to explore new options. See your Lucky Jupiter in Taurus Forecast for where this could just take you.

October hands you your real cycle of fresh starts and new beginnings thanks to a rare Grand Earth Trine with Mercury now direct in your 1^st and Venus in your sign from the 9^th. You can now move ahead with all that’s been on the back burner for you since August. And there’s an extra loved up longevity boost to relationships thanks to the arrival of Juno in your sign on October 18. Who says birthdays don’t come around twice in one year?

Turn busy-ness into just being

Home and family matters may need your attention from the last week of November onwards. After a year of full throttle, hectic activity you will begin to slow down, appreciate your home and those closest to you, revel in the security and love which surrounds you and allow yourself to feel rather than do. The Sun in your 4^th puts the emphasis on your sense of place and belonging. And Mercury in retroshade in here says it’s time for reflection and gratitude.

If you travel at this time it is likely to be linked to family or to a place which feels like home. Do however obey the retro rules. And don’t stay over long with family due to retro Mercury and Mars mingling on the 28^th when ho ho ho can quickly turn to ho ho hummm . . .

As the year closes, look back at your achievements and above all, cultivate a state of gratitude for what you experience rather than focussing on what you don’t yet have. The Sun in your fabulous 5^th on the 22^nd along with retro Mercury and alignments to Jupiter in your 9^th hint at second chances around something you may feel you are still missing. But what truly sets the scene for ‘24 is you simply being grateful for all you have in the here and now as the year closes. Love who or what you have in the moment and open the portal to simply more to be grateful for this time next year.
