Astrology Horoscopes and Forecasts | Personality Profiles

There was a recent change in your life, something that had the effect of making you feel more secure. You may have taken the plunge and bought a home together with your beloved and nesting, you/your partner may have had a child, or you secured a long-term work contract.

Whatever it was that has recently transpired, this has served to allow you to kick back and revel in the warm and joy of “togetherness” and/or if you are single, at least its given you a degree of peace from the stresses and strains of recent times. You don’t need to act like the roadrunner anymore, more like Cecil Turtle and you can pause to lap up some of the niceties of life and enjoy the fruits of your latest efforts.

There is a direct correlation between your happiness and security especially your domestic security, so if there is anything that impacts on that or makes you insecure, deal with it. That said, you could be the one impacting on your domestic security so take a look first to make sure that you are not straying from the green pastures into another paddock - if even metaphorically - as this is not the time to be taking any risks, period!

For those who have just bought property or are involved in real estate deals or joint finances or any description; all this will need magnifying glass scrutiny this week (and until the new year) especially if it involves your siblings.

There is the potential for controversy in your life now, it may simply be a matter of redefining your stance on a particular issue which creates a fallout, or you appear to renege on a deal – which was probably more the other party’s misunderstanding of your position to start with, as opposed to breaking your word. This could relate to a business, family (especially siblings) or even a previous romantic partner but the outcome could impact significantly on your future associations so pay careful attention to how you handle it.

Ummm, this one is a hard one. Definitely your home affairs are accentuated with some key planets in your 4th house and whilst some of you will be having a highly enjoyable time on home turf and everything relating to your domestic environs, there are a percentage of Virgo’s who are using this week to see if their expectations - versus what they are actually getting - is lining up.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that if your needs aren’t being met to your satisfaction that you’ll put the plug on the relationship, but you will be giving the matter some consideration and thought.

On the other hand you mightn’t have a say in the matter and you’re on the receiving end of a dissatisfied partner so it’s best you put yourself into damage control if this is the case. You have definitely got the steely determination to make hard calls when you have to, especially when it becomes the logical thing to do.

For these Virgo’s it will not come as a surprise and with the Sun in 4th there is every chance of confrontations with family. Your other half ceased really paying attention to you quite some time ago and they have been running their own race (parallel to yours by the way) and pursing their own agenda. It may be familiarity and simply requires a bit of extra focus at your end (you have been the workhorse and spending a lot of time at l’office of late) or it may go much deeper.

If the rifts are too deep and frank and open discussion doesn’t get you anywhere, then you may be having what could best be termed a “contemporary” Christmas this year. That’s doubtful because you have Mercury in your 4th so you should be able to successfully (and rationally) discuss just about any family matter right now with total ease.

For the former happy and contented Virgos, you could be moving into your new or recently renovated abode, and making special considerations to ensure that you have a smooth running (and harmonious) home and lifestyle that you are so very keen to “belong” to.

You are at a crossroads. There are some things in your life that you want to retain, some things you want to buy, and others that you wish to discard and this routing has everything to do with the movement of Venus and Jupiter. Many Virgo’s are settling on a property or a major purchase this week and really getting amongst it. You are the proverbial rolling stone right now, non-stop activity and lots of wheeling and dealing going on.

Thankfully life is feeling very upbeat which is part of your frenetic pace. When you’re happy – which you are on all fronts at the moment – you are very productive. In fact this benevolent influence can be felt to influence the pesky business or family problem that you’ve been dealing with over the past few months and should ensure financially beneficial outcomes. That is welcoming news because the effect of this issue has been quite damaging for those close to you, much more so than you ever realized.

Given all the emotional letdowns you’ve experienced over the past couple of years you can’t afford to take your associations for granted, especially over this weekend’s full moon. Play it straight and play it safe otherwise “like the base Indian you could throw away a pearl richer than all your tribe” (Hiawatha). For all of this week watch romantic (or should I say lustful!) temptations especially at work and elsewhere - work trip? - as it’s highly likely to backfire on you in the worst possible way. The same applies to anything that’s illicit, unlawful or just plain dishonest.

Saturn is gouging it’s way through your finances and sense of self worth and making money (and keeping it) does seem harder these days - even if it’s not - and you may have a sense of being unsupported. If you have operated on the basis that you are what you own, that you’re going to have to review that outlook.

You want out, but you want in. You want in, but you want out. Make up your mind. This is an unpredictable time for you and you have no idea how to proceed. The trouble is as I mentioned last week, you’ve gotten yourself all bound up with a person (s) and not sure how to extricate yourself cleanly and unscathed. There are options available to you, you can either walk away or engage. The trouble is that there are no certain outcomes, and you’re unsure if you’re even IN the mix and whether you can have any bearing on the outcome. You could make it worse or you could make it a whole lot better. You do think you can make everything better, so why not give it a shot? In fact this week your judgment is very sound and can almost be guaranteed to turn around the situation in your favor.

Unfortunately even if you are called upon to lend a helping a hand and shed light on an otherwise dark situation (or to simply be the voice of reason) there is the strong likelihood that at least one party will not be receptive to your ideas and suggestions and will tell you to butt out. Not to worry, nothing is set in concrete and definitive answers aren’t needed this week so wait a while and see what develops. This issue won’t conclude until the end of the year and in the meantime you will be asked to explain allegiances or be asked to be responsible for previously agreed joint obligations that you had erroneously assumed were finalized.

There is even the specter this week of going into business with another, re-engaging in a joint project or taking a joint stance on some issue. Just be aware that anything that is tabled this week will not remain that way and will be modified a number of times before completion.

If you didn’t book that holiday or trip that I suggested last week, then this is still on the agenda for this week. Otherwise a journey out of town could be being planned – perhaps Christmas at the beach house? This is NOT a week to provoke your other half. If you do you will not be able to manage that situation with your usual success. (Well I gave you the leg up!)

You’re engaged in some drama that whilst not of your making, has roped you in which doesn’t make you very happy. It could be related to family or a work issues, but I sense that siblings and direct family members are in play. The good news is that this lingering issue that has been in the background (or foreground) of your life is about to end. There will be much discussion, including with people from outside the immediate group that will serve to identify a resolution that suits all. You will either make contact or receive contact from someone whom you’ve not been close to for some time, but who is very close to you in DNA.

They will seek your support to accomplish a matter than indirectly concerns you also, or you may seek theirs to remove you from the picture and you are both fearful and welcoming of the contact.

The timing is perfect because you are coming into a very loving and connected phase with your nearest and dearest and your social life will be positively buzzing. If single there will be a veritable feast of options to tempt you and all your interpersonal connections are on the up and up. Socially your diary will be full and there won’t be many “stay in” nights during the forthcoming period.

You‘ll be making plans also and/or discussing/booking a long journey with your beloved for sometime in the not too distant future. This is further reason why it’s so imperative to you that you remove yourself in the interim from any lingering drama or complications. Bon Voyage.

You’ve been really hung up about making money, finding money or keeping money. You are going through one of the big turning points in your financial life and the Cosmos is demanding that you change or ameliorate the ways in which you handle money, how you spend it and where. This passage is designed to show you not only how to make it, but also how to hold onto it and at the same time to explore new and creative ways to make more money.

One of two things could be happening here. You’ll either want to simplify your life so that you don’t need as much money and spend more time enjoying life than in the l’office, or you’ll really be upping the ante to consolidate and make lots more money.

Either way you being thinking differently about money and your relation/connection to it than you have been.

Romantically you’re still a little confused this week, to such an extent that people who are close to you will be questioning what is really going on in your love life.

Are you happy? If you are feeling unsure, it’s another of the Cosmo’s trials and it will pass - although not without some rocky moments at home. If however you’ve been unhappy (or unhappy with a certain situation) for a while then you may be wishing that you’d addressed this particular situation sooner before it got so out of hand. Being passive or going with the flow is not always the wisest choice because it can become a runaway train.

It might be that you don’t feel like you’re important in the household or that you have an adequate say in the day-to-day affairs; OR you may be at loggerheads with members from your extended family - siblings, etc. There will be an issue from the past (or a past deed) or someone from the past that inflames you and all those all resentments and buried angst will bubble up to the surface again.

Try and remain calm, pare back and become more self reliant (emotionally and financially) for the greatest peace.

Do you usually worry about keeping up with the Jones’s? No? Well why are you now? It’s actually to do with the astrological climate that has you fretting over what you’ve got or haven’t got - the accoutrements of success that define who you are and if you’ve so called “made it”.

That, and the fact that you’ve been thrashing out who owns what and “what’s mine is yours” type of deals with your nearest and dearest (and business partners).

Discussions involving joint finances and issues of power and control have made you feel a tad uncomfortable, especially as many Virgo’s are just about to plonk down a large amount of the green stuff on one of these above referred to “accessories”.

The full moon on the weekend will focus on give-and-take issues and will highlight any imbalances there. You both need to feel comfortable with the set up but it’s also imperative that at the same time you put yourself on solid (and safe) ground. But others will feel likewise and striking this balance will require honest discussion between you (there may be more than one participant in the mix).

You will surprise yourself and others by your aggressive handling of any situation that arises but it’s all tempered with generosity and offers of assistance.

Overall though your financial outlook will improve significantly and whilst it won’t pan out exactly as you had planned (or indeed hoped) it will pan out.

They say if you look hard enough you will find the hair in the egg – or if you like the glass can be either half full or half empty depending on your view point.

There is something in your life that you believe is “not right” and that you feel impelled to fix - or at the very least adjust. Is it really a danger to your existence or more a case of you reading too much into it?

Whatever the situation it is threatening your sense of security and comfort and it’s not an organizational or group thing, but rather a bête noir who you feel holds the key. This could be an adversary in business/life or someone close to home that holds the key to your heart (and therefore your happiness) but your very existence and future is connected to this person - and you believe this to be the case, whether it’s entirely true or not.

You will be having significant interchanges at home, with family members and those in your immediate community and they won’t be smooth – far from it! On the home front you will be very much at odds (or vice versa) which those closest to you and this will be ongoing for quite some time. Who owns what, where are you going (and how), whose side are you on - and you may be asked to make choices that feel disloyal and confronting.

It would be good if you could escape to the office and get some peace but it’s especially challenging there also. Whatever you’ve done wrong in the past is central to this issue and will probably be revealed, much to your discomfort.

There’s little point trying to rationalize your way out of it and I suggest you just wear the fallout as you will no longer be seen as the voice of reason. I should warn you that things are going to get a whole lot more screwy before they get better so you may as well just buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Whip out your check book because you are spending big. Chances are you won’t be alone in doing this, you’re either buying up for someone else (a home, trip, car, jewelry, artwork - for example) or you’re in a partnership – i.e. a joint venture in business.

You are on the threshold of a new enterprise or undertaking and yet at the same time there are still things to “sort out”. Respective roles, attitudes and work loads. It may take you a few weeks to nut out the “value” system, but it needs doing otherwise you will have major problems down the track.

You might have invested heavily in something only to discover over the next couple of months that this was a mistake so it serves you well to do all the groundwork and get the discussions out of the way now.

At any rate this week you are looking for a yes or no answer to a vital question. It does have financial overtones and even emotional ones tied into the equation.

You might find (horror) that you don’t have enough to fulfill a contract or project so instead of trying to put this news off, or hedge your bets, deal with it pronto!

The main thing through all of this is to ensure that what you are doing is for the right (and pure reasons). If it’s not what you really want to do (or you are having second thoughts) or it’s more about appeasing someone else’s - then before too long this spectacle will IMPLODE.

You will be faced with a dilemma this week trying to keep two people happy at the same time. It could be a mother and wife, a boss and work colleague, a spouse and child; one feels that you haven’t paid enough attention or offered enough support. There could be a dozen permutations but you have to tread a fine line between the two to maintain equilibrium as there is the potential for emotional dramas and scenes.

This should be a walk in the park for you as you’re feeling particularly confident and in control of late. Your popularity appears to have gone up a few notches, friends want to see more of you and members of the opposite sex find you rather alluring. You could even experience a blast from the past. This could be in the form of a lover or someone from yesteryear returning or (equally likely) an idea or belief that you held about a certain situation which has changed over time, will be back on the agenda. You may find that you align yourself with an idea/person from a few years back.

How you lived your life up until now will be under review and you realize that changes or restructures have to be made. You may have to geographically distance yourself or mentally/emotionally but you cannot sustain the current status quo. You are heading to a better place or space (work, home or interpersonal) and the more you devote your energies into this new direction, the more you will leave behind the ghosts of the past.

Depending on when you were born in Virgo this might not happen until a bit later in the cycle but epiphanies are heading your way if they haven’t already hit. An old Japanese proverb says “Fear is only as deep as the mind allows” but clarity is only obtained when you separate your fears from reality. Dostoyevsky hit the nail on the head when he said “taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most”. Believe in yourself and (at the moment) no-one else and you can’t go wrong.

The phrase “life Phoenix rising from the Ashes” could aptly describe you now. You’ve bounced back from the arduous passage of Saturn in Virgo, during which you either fought to retain a business worth keeping or had the strength and foresight to jettison what wasn’t and when it came to romance you kept your head and heart above water when everyone else was losing theirs.

So you couldn’t be blamed for being a bit wary of developments which appear to be rather testing rather than just going with the flow and seeing how it all pans out. In the realm of love and business you can either have it all or be quite disillusioned and this really depends on what your benchmark is.

You’re a Virgo and let’s face it, very discerning, and as such a bit of a control freak. If you leave a situation well alone you are handing over the reins to the Cosmos to make life better for you. Any intervention or even your dissatisfaction at this time will give the Cosmos the green light to turn your potential contentment into discontent - or worse, have you not knowing where you stand.

This is especially pertinent to those who are entwined in someone else’s problem (spouse, partner, business associate or family matter) and I urge you to do everything you can to steer clear of any involvement whatsoever even if you are tempted (or genuinely feel) that you can improve the situation.

I have to mention also that for some Virgo’s the end of the line has been reached in either a long standing romantic union or a business partnership. You are the zodiac’s analyst and can determine better than any other when a situation has gone past its use by date and deserves no more input. Beginnings and endings are a necessary part of the evolution of life and painful as they may be, you have to accept it and move on as quickly as you can.

Wow. You could have gone 10-20 years in a relationship and then suddenly run off with the milkman/manicurist because you got hit by the thunderbolt. Earth signs – even the cool Virgin - are often the ones quite susceptible to grand passion and will do whatever it takes to follow through on the amour, no matter how great the fallout or the scandal.

If you are a couple and you don’t have a great love within the union, then this is a period of trepidation. If you are single then you are really on the look out for love but this time with a very clear idea of your expectations and needs.

This week a number of Virgo’s are finding quiet places to do a lot of reflection over big decisions that are pending relating to this very subject. Scenario’s such as “do I throw away an existing family life to follow my heart’s desires” or “do I toss in my job to follow my heart’s desire” or “do I need to be alone in order to attract real love”.

For some it’s a repeat of a break that was made with the same partner approximately 5 years ago. Is this the final time?

Irrespective of the outcomes it’s an incredibly transformational and constructive time. If you are way off course emotionally, then this is when you can not only recognize it but have the courage and desire to put yourself back on track. You feel quite calm and centered now but more importantly feel driven to make things right.

You take pride in being the zodiacs discriminating perfectionist but truthfully it has to be said that on occasion you can be a real pain in the neck as you point the finger of blame towards others whilst enjoying your sense of superiority that this affords. It is fair to say though that you will only be as critical of others as you are of yourself except when you really stuff up and can’t see (or worse acknowledge) that you have.

This week will be full of screwed up communications when you are really at odds with the world and perhaps because of these frustrations you step back and take a good long hard look at yourself and work out where and how you can improve your performance. By “perform” I mean in relationships, health, family and working life and in general interactions with others at every level.

Remember one thing, you are the sign of the virgin: exacting, clean and pure so don’t be tainted by the group mentality. Have the courage to stand alone if necessary to continue to adhere to your high standards.

If married with children watch your communication there also as you can come across as too controlling, critical and rigid if you’re not careful.

The good news is that you are still in birthday mode so you should be looking great, feeling confident and playing to the masses (even if they don’t “get” you all the time this week).

Why do you continue to worry so much about money when there is so much more happening in your life? If you have a pile of commitments to meet then thank your lucky stars as your focus is directed towards keeping yourself afloat but I rather suspect that it is because your money is tied up with someone else. It could be a joint venture, family business, alimony, divorce settlement or an estate matter but how it is handled and any decisions made will have ramifications for a number of years to come.

There is an emotional and psychological involvement in the transaction so it is even more important that you deal with this in a way that leaves you feeling at peace once the dust has settled. Money and your self esteem appear to be intricately tied and unless you conquer your insecurities you will not achieve a satisfactory outcome. You might be tempted to connect with others to gain validation and boost your self worth but this will backfire and not help the situation. That said, this issue does consume your thoughts so the faster it is out of your life, the quicker you can move on to more constructive things.

With Saturn out of Virgo since the end of July you will begin to feel the easing of pressure and for the next two years you can focus on wealth creation as opposed to trying to hold onto your job/business, find your niche or just keeping afloat. You will be able to manipulate a situation or person to your advantage (or benefit from them) between now and the end of this year where others assets or funds are transferred to you.

Your closest interpersonal and/or intimate relationships (lovers, family etc) are the stuff of chick flick novels so get rid of the rose colored glasses, put aside any regrets and deal with your reality with maturity.

It’s your birthday month so you will be looking good and feeling on top of the world and taking extra effort and attention on how you are looking, what you wear and how you present yourself to the world in general. You will be sensing that you are generating more interest at the moment, especially from the opposite sex (or same sex or whatever). If you are single you will be as frisky as hell and new amours could certainly be in the air but if you are already in a relationship you really need to exercise some caution as to how you are behaving (or at least how you should be behaving).

This year in particular you run the risk of going off the rails (affairs, scandals, controversies etc) probably because a long time ago you placed your loved one on a pedestal and then became disillusioned to discover that they are not a God or Goddess but a mere mortal.

Sadly for quite a few Virgo’s already in relationships you will be now be assessing their long term prognosis especially if you’ve both been dissatisfied or not connecting well for a while. You begin a period of personal review this week and this will encompass all your relationships, how you make money, where you live, what friends you have and how you “fit in”. You will be weeding out the stuff that doesn’t serve you well and generally simplifying your life so that it can become more productive (quality vs quantity).

There is one thing that continues to needle you and this week you’ll feel impelled to address it head on rather than the procrastination of the past few months. For once you will put your critical hat to one side and drop the blame game and in doing so will put a stop to a vicious cycle that was grinding you (and everyone else who is involved) down. Some will reunite with estranged family members or friends and others will finally agree to separate but in a cordial and workable manner.

Your career hasn’t matched your aspirations and for a lot of you there was some real disappointment in a business undertaking during the Saturn years. With that memory still in tow, direct all your energies into wealth creation, establishing yourself, or even just finding your “niche” but whatever you do exercise caution and don’t be tempted by any risky ventures.

Ask yourself this question with total honesty. Is your relationship/marriage (if this is applicable) solid and in the best shape it can be. If not, why and what are you doing about it. Is it you or them?

Relationships are never easy and should never be boring, but if you are really unhappy and dissatisfied then you should take steps to rectify this. In much the same ways if your marriage/relationship is fairly solid but you are feeling less than stable then I urge you do not do anything that could compromise that. Finally if your partner wants out, trying to kid yourself to the contrary is not doing you any favors psychologically.

In the meantime use your gifts of practicality and precision to read between the lines in all of your interactions to gauge what it really going on. Some Virgos will reach a crossroad this week and all the plans you though were set in concrete (or the ones that have been valid for a long time) can change completely.

You may need to rewrite some rules, or throw some out, or introduce new ones for a mutual understanding that is workable into the future. There may be some significant adjustments being made and even some lines drawn in the sand. Give careful consideration to every action this week.

Now you might be as poor as a church mouse but you are focused on money. That’s one issue, secondly if you are in a relationship, especially a long standing one you could be going through a period of dissatisfaction. Where that leads you is up to the individual so some Virgo’s will be concentrating like mad on getting their hands on more of the filthy lucre and others will be tempted to play up like mad. Now that might mean a few drinks with friends, a trip away, or any mix that your imagination can conjure up.

There is a lot of wheeling and dealing going on; you are almost obsessed with a particular project or situation that has a financial buzz to it or one that will position you in a more favourable financial situation. It might be a long standing financial hangover from the “Saturn” years that still has to be resolved but you are now prepared to push hard for this whereas previously you were a bit slap happy and reserved.

If money is not your focus then you could very well be obsessed with a particular person or equally going through a period of being very underwhelmed by your other half. If it’s the latter, then hopefully you can use this period to good use and throw all that pent up frustration and “itchiness” into expanding your bank account!

Maybe you aren’t in the thick of a certain complicated scenario that is being played out but you are being affected by it. Even so you have no clear idea of what exactly you are going to do. Do you watch from the sidelines, actively get involved or put the blinkers on.

This situation – financial/business/property/legal dealings - is not one that you engineered but it does call for your expertise and input to get it satisfactorily resolved. The outcome if handled well will be of benefit to you, you know that so it’s really in your best interests to engage. You are however concerned about ancillary fallouts and whilst it has nothing directlyto do with the situation at hand still needs lots of consideration. It’s sort of a domino affect and other parties have very clear ideas about what you should or shouldn’t be doing with regards the original issue. This could be another business associate, spouse, parent and so on and it may impact on you even more than the original issue if their noses are put out of joint. (Don’t want to be cut out of the Will now do you?!).

The situation described above is for Virgos entwined in business but with everything AOK back at the ranch. However for the Virgo’s who are having an illicit love affair, and/or bored out of their gourds with their partner you have far more to consider this week than business!

There is huge change afoot for these latter Virgo’s, the pendulum is swinging but in which direction?! Virgo’s have been know to create the biggest scandals for love or…..– think Hugh Grant, Charlie Sheen, Elizabeth Taylor…..the current climate is ripe for…well…ripeness! You are craving passion and seeking out wild abandonment in a lover.

Even breathing is easier. The weight that you have been lugging around (psychic garbage) for two and a half years has been lifted from your shoulders and it would be an understatement to say that you are feeling “lighter”.

Whilst Saturn’s exit has given you relief, whilst it was grinding you down it made you stronger and more resilient and able to fight any or all fights in your future with relative ease.

Your no. 1 topic of interest now is $. You are shooting for the stars (now that nothing is holding you back) and you will surprise even yourself with what you can achieve in this area if you really try. Many of you tried business ventures during the past few years which was less than easy (many failed) but now you have the opportunity to try again, this time with almost guaranteed success.

You find yourself at a fork in the road working out which direction to take, self employment verses being employed, restructure or sell, pre-nup or settlement…the theme is working out your bottom line.

This is not going to be an overnight process; you’re figuratively starting from scratch even if you’ve been doing the same thing for a hundred years but now you will have the opportunity to feel confident and self assured that the steps you are taking are the right ones.

Those of you who have amassed a nest egg can now feel certain that it will be protected and will “go the distance”. You are on the front foot, imbued with renewed confidence and looking pretty good too!

Wow, what a ride. It wasn’t the carousel but the ghost train and it seemed to linger for a long time in the house of horrors. No matter how conservative polite, accommodating, flexible you were everything you tried seemed to go no-where except downhill. It was like walking through quicksand every day with weights around your middle and people taking pot shots at you from the sidelines.

Well that grisly passage is over and you plan to show the world that you are not down and not out but a powerful entity on its way back. You’ve spent the past couple of months in a rage, Mars had a lot to do with this but it was probably a culmination of the frustration and unfairness of the past couple of years, failing (or failed) businesses, unpopular, ignored, belittled…it has not been painless.

You’re like The Fugitive in the back of the police car, you’ve just kicked out the window and you are getting out of your confinement and on your way hoping to not only prove your innocence but get your life back on track. You will need guts, resolve and will power and total self absorption.

It’s the reputation and self worth issues that you need to work on and prove that you’re still in the game. Whilst the gloom has gone, part of you taking stock of your life and resources is about getting your finances in order to reflect not the old you, but the new you.

You can enjoy being you again, think beyond the box again, head to the drawing board and begin strategizing on a major scale. Now that you’ve stuck your head up again with some confidence you may just decide to leave behind anything else that has failed in your life.

If it wasn’t working then, it won’t work now and you are all about new beginnings and getting rid of the dead wood. Some new beginnings will raise some eyebrows, but they are beyond your control and if you want something you can have it - your fantasies can become realities now.

There will be reunions with people that you’ve been estranged from perhaps for years and these will either be made good or irrevocably severed forever.

I don’t blame you if you just want to lie under the covers and not come out -you’re feeling very “internal” right now. This is probably not what you’re going to do of course and as I said last week it’s a good idea to hang with good friends who can bolster your spirits.

You’ve got less than two weeks when the end of a really trying and difficult era in your life is at an end. There is a lot of commotion going on in your life – unfortunately there are some things you just cannot bypass this week and you have a number of ways to approach certain issues. You can be conciliatory and helpful or your can be feisty and aggressive, it’s up to you of course however I can tell you that an amenable approach will be the more successful one.

You are probably among the most skilled in the zodiac for getting resolutions and knowing the right approach so in spite of feeling “removed” from it all, try and employ your organisation skills and manage the situation.

You’ve spent the past couple of years grappling with self esteem issues and worrying about how you fit in and whether or not others regarded you as successful or not. This will become less of an issue allowing you to finally deal with some of the more “sensitive” and pressing matters that need addressing.

It’s time to get really authentic in your realm of finances and if for example you’ve been putting forward a façade of success when behind the scenes you are barely holding your own, then you are in the right mental space to take the necessary action now.

In spite of feeling like you don’t want to play ball this is a really ideal time to stop procrastinating and get goal focused and really sort out future directions. If you aren’t happy in any area of your life, you have the ability now to change this for the better.

It’s been almost excruciating to watch the ex PM of Australia who was publically humiliated, had the rug pulled out from underneath him and belittled ad nauseum in the press ever since go about his business seemingly without a care in the world. That sums up all Virgo’s right now.

You’ve had the reality check to end all reality checks but at the same time you continue to make notable inroads. Perhaps this “course correction” has in fact served to put you back on track and in time as all cycles go, will swing around into your favour again (it’s called karma). Speaking of karma, this is what is happening to Virgo’s now. If you’ve been good, nice things are happening, if you’ve been not so good….well….

So long as you are able to dispense with any ill feelings and your fear of failure along the way and maintain an honorable and true heart filled with forgiveness (?!) then you will reap the rewards of the seeds that you are sowing at this time.

For those who need to, don’t hesitate to rely on your support base and all your friends and acquaintances that you have helped over the years. You are a caring and kind hearted person and you will have amassed a good circle of friends who would be eager and happy to help out or keep you sustained.

Ever the planner and controller just let life be for a while and go with the flow – you’ve recently learn the hard way that you can’t control the outcomes of everything haven’t you?

It’s been rather glum and tiring for the past couple of years and you feel flattened. But that’s all about to change – only a month to go and yes you are counting! This passage has served to make you more serious, the party girl/boy was replaced by one seeking a deeper meaning – your role in life, reputation, job satisfaction – and it was all about establishing cornerstones for the future.

All those spare moments are going to be taken up looking inward and navel gazing. You want to be lying on your deathbed in a zillion years and singing My Way as in “regrets I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention” as opposed to the alternative.

It’s an uncomfortable process and akin to peeling away layers of your skin – ouch – but a paring away is required and will be done by you as you ascertain what it is you need, and what you don’t in your life - career, love etc.

Whatever you decide you can certainly communicate it well to others at the moment, you do have the gift of the gab on your side and can get right to the heart of any matter. Its best that you steer your own ship now or the cosmos will do it for you – only in your best interests of course – so pay real attention and listen to what your inner voice is telling you.

I suspect that during this soon-to-be-ended passage (2 years!) you’ve bowed to the whims of others far more than usual (were you aware of that?) and just accepted any restrictions as routine. I sense that over the next few weeks (starting now) you will begin to assert yourself and your ideas and frankly not really care if others agree with you or not.

This will be so out of character that others will notice and probably won’t be too accommodating to the “new you” but if you persevere (and say it in the right way) they’ll come around eventually. Bonus, you’re looking good and others will not only notice, they’ll respond.

In the past you’ve played the diplomatic and kept your counsel and essentially held yourself in check when you really wanted to say and do something but felt it inappropriate or unwise. Over the last year you pared down your circle of friends, business associates even your social life contracted. There was a lot on your plate, business needed your focus (and how hard and frustrating has that area of your life been) and your interpersonal life needed attention as well - all resulting in you become slightly insular compared to the old gregarious and expansive you.

Perhaps there was a change in your status (either work or relationship) that in turn changed the way you functioned in the outside world or perhaps you just felt that is what you should do because of certain circumstances. Either way it was limiting.

As you start cranking up the pace the social butterfly will emerge again, hanging with friends and getting back into life and being assertive. To hell with others you are going to let people know exactly how you feel and in some cases will be seeking retribution if there have been control issues.

You are much more insightful now so go with your gut feel and throw caution to the wind if it didn’t serve you well over the twelve months. You will be putting relationships under the spotlight and have ample strength of purpose to bring closure where required, even if you do have to hold their hand through the process!

Just like in the movies soft cop, hard cop and we know what role you usually play. Or do we? Normally truthful, loyal, reliable and determined you are the “good guy” eager to assist BUT NOT LATELY! The Red Planet has you all fired up and “you’re as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore”.

This will be particularly bad news and hard for others to take as you can be very critical and will not hesitate to let all those that you feel beneath you exactly what you think of their efforts. Ouch. Cruelty is not beyond you at this time especially if you feel vulnerable or under attack.

You are not going to hold back and have gone from retiring wallflower (well not quite) to a whole different kettle of fish, virtually overnight. You have gotten your groove back and there is going to be one hell of a Rumble in the Jungle unless you can hold yourself back, which I’m pretty sure you can’t or even intend doing. The only proviso here is, if you’ve established a reputation of some standing in the community, then you’ll need to cooperate or reel yourself in, somehow, to avoid a showdown of major proportions….

It’s all about your values, what you stand for and where you stand – and on one issue in particular. You may not even be operating on a conscious level, whatever it is that’s motivating you and propelling you forward in a particular direction or making you act in a certain way might have everything to do with a subconscious urge or anxiety that you are not even aware of.

Are you playing it straight? Is there anything that you don’t want revealed. Is your integrity intact? If you can answer “yes” to all of those then “go for it”, do not hold yourself back; if the answer is “no” it will backfire on you.

Boy what’s with you and Gemini? You’ve both been off kilter for months and you both are getting back on track at around the same time. Wonder how the Gemini/Virgo unions are going – they would be interesting!)

Well you’ve got your mojo back big time and have found your front foot again (you’ve been on the back one for a while) but please be nice about it, humility is good. Never one for holding back criticism, when you get riled you can really let rip and for the foreseeable future you are fired up about literally everything and you need to watch that this doesn’t disintegrate into anger or mud slinging.

I’m fascinated by the fate of the Australian Virgo PM, who has been in popularity free fall for months (from a record high approval rate) and it will be interesting to see how this new found feistiness will translate in that arena.

What issues will you Virgo’s seize by the throat or take under your wing? It will be very much a case of your way or the highway now, sure to put noses out of joint but conducive to getting results. You’re confident again and more importantly believe in yourself after a long period of self doubt and feeling quiet and almost invisible. Certainly you seemed to be have been overlooked and everything you touched didn’t quiet have the outcomes that you’d hoped for.

You will not be shy in coming forward and your stance on some issues will literally blow some people out of the water, such was their misreading of the situation whilst you were in limbo land. You will walk in the valley of the shadow of death and fear…nothing…..at least for the next three months.

It would be ridiculous to say that there will be no ramifications from this new attitude – of course there will. Who it will affect and to what degree is entirely up to you and your relationships, working partnerships, friendships and the like will not be immune.

This is not a happy week for you. Cantankerous, hostile, aggressive and even more critical than usual, yikes! There has been a lot to bother you all year with Mars in your 12^th- and if you don’t think that’s a problem just look at the fate of the Australian Prime Minister, a Virgo whose popularity has plummeted during this period.

You’ve endured restrictions, hidden enemies, a sense of being ignored or behind the scenes, even psychological problems…all in all it was best just to lay low until it passed ……which it is doing at the end of this week. About time!

However there are upcoming battles that will make the Battle of Stalingrad look like a dummy spit. Please try not to be so assertive and argumentative or worse put on the slow silent burn act which makes all around you uncomfortable - but none the wiser.

Yes, you’ve been feeling that your interpersonal life has not be as solid as you would wish and your relationships have the timbre of a day-by-day prospect even when you’ve been together for years. Virgo’s are control freaks, there is no denying that fact, but some things in life you can neither control nor predict.

If you want to confront situations at work for example, you will certainly be assertive and manage to get your point across (albeit loudly) and this is “action stations” time. However you will stretch some links a bit too far and these will break, but only the ones that were unneeded or surplus to requirements. That said, you are not really into work at the moment (and this may compound your frustration) but be wary of the fact that you being scrutinized and there will be parties who will not only observe your actions (or non actions) but be disparaging about any perceived indolence on your behalf.

Funnily enough in the midst of all this, your finances will improve and money can come your way through an unexpected source, it could be an increase in your partners income or inheritance (or similar) or something more esoteric.

The big news this week is Uranus entering Aries on or around Friday (depending on where you live in the world) which has not occurred since 1927 - so it is highly unlikely that you will have experienced its impact on your 8^th house previously.

I’ll address the full ramifications of that in the June monthly horoscopes but know that Uranus is the planet of abrupt and unexpected change and although this won’t become obvious to you straight away (I’ll explain why next month) the time for change in the way you deal with your intimate relationships and yourself is nigh.

If you need an excuse – and I don’t think you really do – the next seven years will provide just such an excuse for you to act so un-Virgo-like and people will be shocked by how the cool, calm Virgin turned into a male or female slut!

Well perhaps that is an extreme exaggeration but during this period you will crave greater freedom and excitement within your intimate relations and certainly your sexuality (and the way in which you express this) will change. The inner beast will be released!

If you try and control your partner (business or otherwise) or anyone or anything significant there will be reprisals. Every action has consequences quid pro quo and you need to learn to trust and share if you haven’t truly learned this as yet - especially over issues such as joint finances and sexual and emotional jealousy.

You may feel gloomy (even if you are presenting a happy face to the world) as all sorts of unexpected and often disquieting insights will reveal themselves. The penny will drop on matters ahead of their eventuality making you feel almost psychic, but you will certainly gain improved insights into what makes you tick during this time. All your phobias, wants, desires and unspoken needs will bubble up to the surface.

It’s a rather unsettling time for Virgos. There are Virgo’s whose long term partners suddenly treat them like strangers or seem so preoccupied with themselves that they appear almost incidental. At the other end of the spectrum there are Virgo’s who are stepping over a line that they shouldn’t cross.

If you want to maintain your equilibrium at this time, use all your great skills of logic and reason to try and figure out why some people are acting as they are, and why you are feeling as you do. Once you have that sorted, it will be a protection of sorts, not to mention your ever ready army of friends and confidants to whom you can turn to for advice and support.

You are feeling conflicted. You wonder if life has passed you by or if you are with the wrong person, and if so, have you missed the boat and will you get another opportunity and so on...

Weigh up any actions that you may be contemplating from every angle as the fallout may be far more than you would anticipate or could even imagine in a million years. The fact that you feel tired and jaded has a lot to do with your state of mind which makes you more reactive and dare I say more hardnosed in your quest for perfection in all its forms.

No matter what age you are, the sense of “getting on” in years makes you paranoid about not reaching your aims and all Virgo’s are united by a gnawing hunger for acknowledgement, appreciation and respect. You want everyone to recognize what you’re really capable of doing, no you need it.

There is no question that you will be travelling and it will be one that you book, not some dreary no-choice work trip. It will be a wonderful salve to the legal issues and life tests that have been thrown at you of late. You are feeling a bit derailed and underappreciated, and although you felt you offered brilliant advice and opinions they were thrown back in your face and discounted. Worse, you are getting almost the same treatment at home! Perhaps the trouble is that you can dish it but can’t take it? When you say it, it’s right but when they say it back to you its mean…or is it? Perhaps you are thin skinned?

It’s Epiphany time this week, what is it that finally gels for you? And what is it that you are really hungering and craving for but not getting? The lightening bolt will come to you in a foreign or different place (even if its down at the local coffee shop).

You remain in the race so there is nothing to worry about. What frustrates you though is how misunderstood you seem to be. Why don’t people get you, after all you have so many sterling virtues surely the world should be admiring of them at the very least. And when things went belly up or fell over nobody passed you a hankie because they thought you didn’t need one – after all it’s usually you doing the hankie passing - and secretly that pisses you off.

It is always your interpersonal dealings that are the key factors in your life, for better or for worse and you are fully aware right now that there is a certain housekeeping matter to deal with and put right. You are an honorable soul and you know you could step up to the plate and take a stand and fix something that needs fixing. It a question of do you want to or not.

Virgo’s generally have a propensity to try and analyze and control their loved ones lives even if they know that this generally causes them problems in relationships. Gee do most people baulk at being directed?!

But Saturn is back and you are likely to be feeling insecure and out of control; and probably jealous to boot when you should simply be enjoying life and having fun with your lover. Don’t fall into the trap of withdrawing and giving them the cold shoulder in order to hide your own insecurities.

Depending on your age (and/or the number of relationships you’ve had) by now you will be getting more secure in your relationships and “allowing” others to express themselves in the manner of their choosing; ergo a healthy and balanced relationship. If you’ve tried to learn this lesson too well it’s possible that anarchy reigns.

You’ve got a lot of family, relationship and business issues to sort out at present, none of it small stuff and you’re pretty much focusing your attention on that right now. If you still have unresolved relationship issues that must be dealt this is a good time to go on a short trip or just find time alone to work out what are your next steps.

Try not to offload to anyone who will listen and be too critical – remember communications are haywire at the moment. NB. If there is a problem it’s one that has been around for a long time.

If others want to view your behaviour as self-absorbed, let them. You know that you are like the chrysalis emerging from the cocoon or Phoenix rising from the ashes as you leave old feelings of inferiority behind to be replaced with a desire to stand out from the pack.

Any talents that you have previously left untouched fearing disapproval are being given free reign and you will be concentrating on bringing these to fruition - sometimes to the exclusion of others.

You will also be eliminating negative attitudes (and people) relating to your love life which can cause some discomfort as you assess what is working and what is not. If it remains a square peg it’s never going to fit into the round hole and you must be honest with yourself if you recognize this to be the case.

Self deception doesn’t get you anywhere and only makes you look ridiculous and any necessary romantic reconstruction is so that you can manifest a deeper love connection to your partner/spouse (and kids as well if you have any).

May I remind you of what I said last week about living life in a principled or moral way and if you haven’t begun to address this please make the necessary changes to put this right.

I get the distinct feeling that you are not being entirely transparent or are you being lead up the garden path (or led by the nose) by someone and in doing so are compromising your ethics?

You know the difference between the correct path vs the unethical way of approaching something and it’s important that you refuse to yield to others’ demands if you sense or know that this is just not right.

Are you remaining just, fair and principled? Please don’t cross that invisible line because someone else has made you feel obliged to adopt a certain stance either through an obligation or to offer “moral support”.

A sharing caring Virgo. Yes that’s right, you highly discriminating, cool and composed individuals are going to become all emotional and dare I say real.

Perhaps you have put in order the business side of things that needed attending to and are now turning your focus and attention to other things that need to be addressed, i.e. relationships. You’ve become thoughtful and caring much to the appreciation of your partner and the betterment of all your relationships in general.

You want love and to express love, especially to the children in your life.

If you haven’t been living life in a principled or moral way then you will begin to address this now and make the necessary changes to put this right. This may be as simple as being completely transparent with one another or alternatively you may now refuse to yield to others demands if you sense that they are not what you really need or want in your life.

Financially projects and undertakings aren’t delivering like you thought they would and this is causing a few sleepless nights and aggravation especially when you are presently so driven to establishing yourself now. You recognize the need to be making fiscal inroads and sealing your financial future and the more successfully you can do this planning now, the greater the rewards, particularly later in the year. At that time you can really spread your wings and try a number of different endeavors.

While you are planning for your family (if you have one) or yourself, you are concurrently dreaming of being swept off your feet by attractive strangers. Try to focus on the main game and don’t sight of the fact that you do have love and support and if you are unsure of where they or you are headed – ask!

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. Hello? Virgo I am talking to you! Trouble is I think the person you are currently deceiving the most is YOU. You are not lying straight in bed (so to speak) and are either misbehaving yourself but trying to make yourself out to be a virgin Virgo OR you are being goodie two shoes and making everyone’s life a misery because of it.

When it comes to relationships you are in the Sargasso sea which lies in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle. It’s very TANGLED and CONVOLUTED (with seaweed) and so is your most intimate associations and before too long you are going to get very stuck. It is true that you have had rather err, shall we say “non straightforward” relationships for a while and whilst you think you’ve been able to stage manage the outcomes, this time around I fear it’s may be a tad harder than you think.

Focus on the main game, whatever that might be and stick to it unwaveringly and whilst it won’t be smooth sailing, you might just manage to reach the desired destination if you do so.

Finances are also under your radar and you’ll have to come to grips with the reality of a specific situation – your business, bank account, or a shared property arrangement – and work out the stance you must adopt to come through unscathed.

Like Cancer you are also on the move but it’s not going to be in the next couple of months, it’s more a case of any day now. You refuse to pause any longer, whether out of deference to others so as not to put certain noses out of joint (who knows you may need them again in the future) or whether you were just biding your time for exactly the right time to act.

Go ahead and make that decision, you’ve been living on the precipice anyway so you had to push back n’est pas or else fall off. So long as you are honest to everyone about what you are doing and why and include those that you can take with you (not down with you that is) it won’t be too dramatic.

You know the expression “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” well you should dwell on that for a moment. It’s a bit hypercritical to state loudly what someone else should be doing and vent your criticism for all to hear if you’re not exactly perfect yourself. The downside of doing that is that those who know you well may very well find your views somewhat phony and a bit paradoxical.

Whilst Virgos are renowned control freaks (much the same as Taurus but picky and critical to boot) why not let others just be themselves without you wading in with your running commentary and personal judgments.

In truth you are feeling just a tad neurotic at present, and you are not coming across at all well. You could be appearing shallow and secretive and your attitudes are alienating people.

It may be that you are ruminating over the state of your relationships in general as they are not functioning as well as they could or should. Maybe an issue has been uncovered which has left you underwhelmed or maybe you are doing something untoward behind the scenes.

The universe is urging you to move with the times and is impacting on the ways in which you deal with relationships. Your views about love, trust, intimacy and commitment are going to radically change over the years thanks to Pluto and your partnerships will take on an entirely different meaning, direction and dimension.

If you are not really in love and have been using the relationship as an advantage or for some other nefarious reason, this will backfire and no matter how well you think you’ve got them pegged, you may well be taken by surprise at their actions.

No two people are the same. That doesn’t necessarily make one better or one worse and who’s to judge anyway? When you start fixating on whether or not someone meets your own particular Virgoan standard of excellence in your most intimate and personal relationships and this in turn begins to impact upon them, then it’s time to take stock.

You know you can’t be alone right now but you have to be genuinely in love otherwise what’s the point of it all if you don’t really mean it? You need real and genuine love and you need it now.

Is there also a niggling feeling that you are no longer at the helm and that others have the upper hand? Is a situation at work or are you socially off kilter? Do you need to stop wasting time or money on something by ending your connection to it?

If you are in a good relationship, this week highlights just that. You are swathed in loving and compassionate cotton wool and are in sync.

If on the other hand you don’t feel like you are a functioning team then you may very well decide this week to cut your losses. This not only applies to your spouse or partner but all your close relationships. Under this astroscape you have a burning need to know if “they” really care or not and you’re making lists, perhaps not the most constructive thing to do this week.

Your current stars are skewing your desires and you are finding (perhaps unfairly) that certain people are coming up short. Try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater in the interim as this is just a passing phase.

Work issues continue to dominate: employees and co-workers are a pain and the financial returns are in short supply. You are asking yourself whether or not to continue to weigh up the benefits of lifestyle over the income and maintain the status quo, or just get out.

You’ve also got other issues to worry about besides the Claytons job, namely “the relationship” and your current potential for inappropriate behaviour.

With Mars in your 12th be careful how you act. Don’t estrange yourself from others or you’ll find yourself the victim of social, work or personal ostracism and mischief.

Don’t try and lay low and pretend that nothing is happening. Pull back and connect with your subconscious and decide to view things clearly, only then will your conscience be entirely clear. Use your problem solving skills - your main attribute – to resolve the problem. How are your relationships? Relationships have been tricky for a long time and nothing is certain. Is it work-related or personal? Learn to be emotionally self sufficient and resilient and you’ll gain from the experience.

Week
