Feeling emo these days, Virgo? You might be, considering that the Sun and Venus are both in the house of the subconscious mind. When this sector is lit up, old emotions and dramas can bubble up to the surface, but this is a good thing. You’re being given the opportunity to release things that aren’t working for you and to move on.
Monday the 1st is especially helpful, as a Venus-Uranus trine allows you to hold a meaningful conversation with your lover. This could even be a lusty day in which you desire to connect with someone on a sexual level increases! Singles, you might be examining your attitudes toward love and commitment, deciding to move on from losers and commitment-phobes as you head into a happier place.
The new moon in Leo on Tuesday is the perfect time to cut things out of your life that don’t serve you well, as it occurs in the house of closure and healing. Snip! Get out those metaphorical pruning shears and start slicing away at toxic trash: the “friend” who’s really a frenemy, a bad habit that you’ve been meaning to quit forever, hanging on to the memory of an old flame, or still being annoyed at your parents for things they did 20 years ago. Your birthday season is fast approaching. Do you really want to carry all this baggage with you? I didn’t think so.
Energetic Mars enters your domestic fourth house on Tuesday as well, which could encourage you to start cleaning, shopping for new furniture, look for a new place or put your home on the market. But it could also put family dramas and commitments front and center, and if that’s the case, refer back to the previous paragraph. Negative doo-doo has to go. Period. It’s one thing to go food shopping for your elderly Mom if you want to; it’s another thing to be the family doormat. Over the next few weeks you’ll start setting up boundaries with your kids, spouse, parents and roommates as to just what is acceptable on your part and what isn’t. They don’t like it? Too bad.
They may make their needy little voices heard on Saturday, so get ready. People get used to our roles, and when we change them others will resist. Don’t allow the demands of others to run your life—that’s the message this week.
You’ll be in fine shape, however, because Venus enters Virgo on Friday, easing your transformation to a more self-focused and healthier lifestyle. You’ll be seeking more independence, but with this golden girl by your side, you won’t be short on admirers.
