Venus in Virgo Is Here to Stop You From Breaking Up!!!
Between Leo season and Venus in Leo, this past month has been fun, eh? Not to say it’s slowing down, but things *are* about to get a lil more focused and serious. For one,
Mars entered Virgo a few days ago, and on August 21st, Venus, planet of love, sex, pleasure, and beauty, also flies into the mutable earth sign. This changes your approach to relationships from all the ~drama~ and ~flair~ of Leo to a more sensible, down-to-earth stance. Venus is in its fall in Virgo, which is how astrologers say that it feels weak and can’t operate well, but that doesn’t mean your love life is about to fall to shambles! In fact, the opposite is probably happening, because Virgo is the zodiac’s big fixer-upper and wants nothing except perfection for all your relationships.
Virgo is one of the most practical, hardworking signs, so when the planet of love is in Virgo, you’re way less about taking the perfect couples selfies and spamming your boo with a billion heart emojis and way more about letting them know you care by helping them out. This could mean tidying up around their house while they’re away or surprising them by paying for their favorite dinner—anything tangible that says “Love you, mean it” without going off on a gushy, emotional tangent is the quickest way to everyone’s heart right now. You’re working hard for your boo, and you’re not always telling them you love them, because you’re showing them instead—Venus in Virgo’s love language is a hundred percent acts of service.
If you’re single, you’re noticing that the huge crush you’ve had for a while is fading fast. You’re also noticing more cons and less pros about your potential boo because Virgo is the zodiac’s perfectionist, and if someone doesn’t check off every requirement on your (exhaustingly long) list of things you want out of a lover, then you’re just not that into them anymore! Looks aren’t that important to you while Venus is in Virgo—but Virgo is the sign of cleanliness and hygiene, so your boo better look pretty put-together because you’d rather be caught dead than be seen with someone who looks like a slob. Oh, and you’re looking for an intellectual connection more than anything else. Your dating standards are sky high right now, but that’s just so your love life can be the greatest it can be.
And that’s the only true downside of this transit—you can be picky (and nitpicky) as all hell right now, and you might be more on the receiving end of it than usual as well! Try to remember that everyone has flaws and only focus on the ones that directly impact or harm you—and that goes for your own perceived shortcomings too.
Overall, this transit is all about tidying up the Venusian areas of your life and getting them in the best shape possible. If you’re noticing way more bad than good coming from your love life (even after taking a step back and trying not to be such a Virgo about it), then that’s your signal from the stars to say “See ya” and make a change. That lip kit you bought and wore to one party that’s been taking up valuable space in your makeup bag for months? Throw it out—that stuff expires, you know! Maybe your split ends have become divorced ends in the past few weeks—get ’em chopped off! I’m not saying you have to do a controlled burn of these areas of life and just eliminate everything that’s not absolutely pristine, but these next few weeks are the zodiac’s version of taking out the trash, so put on your rubber gloves and get to it. It’ll be over before you know it, and when you see how crystal clear and pure your relationships are once Venus is out of Virgo, all the hard work will totally be worth it.
Read your horoscopes below:
Aries
These next few weeks are all about taking your relationships—especially the ones at your job—more seriously and working on improving them in a practical way. You’re all about living fast and doing whatever TF you want, but sometimes you step on people’s toes without realizing it. With your friends, they’re usually willing to forgive and forget because they know how you are, but coworkers could be getting a little snippy with you lately. Stay present, try to show everyone at the office that you’re not just f*cking around, and show up on time—you are full of life and have tons of energy, and if you could funnel just 2 percent of it into your work, so much would change!
Taurus
Lucky you, Taurus, you’re getting the best of the best vibes from this Venus transit! It’s swirling around your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, so your love life is thriving for the next few weeks. Whether it’s asking your crush on a first date, turning your situationship into something more serious, or just having a good time with your boo, you’re finding a ton of success when it comes to romance—plus, you’re getting way more action in bed! Venus is your ruling planet, and it’s in your chart’s fifth house for the next few weeks, aka the house of good fortune, so you can basically count on having a kick-ass time with Venus in Virgo.
Gemini
Venus in Virgo is helping your relationships with your home, your roommates, and your family feel sooo much better. In general, it’s a period when you’re at home way more but you’re not snoozing and chilling alone all day, by any means—Virgo’s the busiest, hardest-working sign, remember? This is like your sign’s time for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It’s a great time to tidy up (to make up for the spring cleaning you didn’t do in Gemini season!) and redecorate. You have a sharp eye and want everything at the house to look and operate perfectly, and that includes your relationship with your roommates and family members. Any ongoing beef with these people can be squashed now, because you’re feeling like you’re more able to compromise and find a solution to keep the drama at a minimum, if not eliminate it completely!
Cancer
You’re noticing more and more every day with Venus in Virgo how much you care about the people in your day-to-day life and how much they care about you too. Your coworkers, neighbors, and even your regular barista at Starbs all seem way friendlier now, and you’re just as sweet and kind right back to them. This transit is helping you get out of your shell, forget your usual shy tendencies, and expand your social life, so pick out some fly outfits for this weekend and go out with the gang! You’re making so many new connections, and they all have potential to translate to your love life too. In short, you’re the most popular sign around, Cancer, and all of Virgo season feels like you’re getting your 15 minutes of fame in.
Leo
Now that Venus is out of your sign, you’re probably ready to take a cat nap until your love life gets exciting and fun again, right? Welllll, that’s not happening, Leo—Venus in Virgo is lighting up your chart’s second house, which is all about finances, aka you’re going to be working waaay more and raking in the dough! I know, your first reaction to all this extra income is probs to blow it all on something that makes you feel as ~extravagant~ and ~extra~ as you felt with Venus in your sign, but try and reel it in, Leo. It’s totally fine (and also encouraged) to have a “treat yourself” day or two, but don’t ball out too hard or you’ll risk spending way more than you’re earning, even if you are getting a huge bonus on your next paycheck. Virgo is detail-oriented, meticulous, and matter-of-fact, so your performance on the job is spectacular right now, and you’re also better able to pick and choose all the reasons you should get that raise or promotion and talk to your boss about it.
Virgo
Venus in your sign is doing wonders for your love life, home life, friendships, and just about everything else for the next few weeks! You’re warming up to others and everyone is being way nicer back to you. The planet of love in your sign is turning you into a total babe magnet, too, so expect more cuties buying you drinks at the bar, more messages on Tinder, and probably a few more late-night “wyd? 🍆” texts than you’re used to. It’s a shame that Venus is only in your sign for a few weeks because of how effing spectacular it makes you feel, but you’re getting the ultimate astrological b-day gift from the stars this year because Venus is hanging out with you for almost all of Virgo season. You’re looking good, feeling gorge, and living your very best life for the next few weeks!
Libra
Venus in Virgo is turning down the volume in your love life, if not straight-up putting it on mute for the next few weeks. You’re getting plenty of quiet hours in your relationships for the next few weeks, which is a trend for the entirety of Virgo season, TBH. You’re not hooking up as much (unless it’s a secret love affair) or getting asked on many dates, because Venus is chilling in your chart’s 12th house for now—the zone of your chart that has to do with aloneness and your unconscious self. If you’re booed up right now, don’t worry, you’re not breaking up or anything like that, but all the main action between you and your partner is happening behind closed doors. That means less cute dates and way more time to get to know them on a deep, intimate level when it’s just the two of you together. P.S. This goes for all Libras: Since the 12th house also rules the completion of cycles, an ex could pop up out of nowhere and start acting a fool. Take it as an opportunity to squash any beef between the two of you or cut ties for good!
Scorpio
Virgos have a reputation for being ridiculously picky, but you know who’s really particular? It you, Scorpio, especially when it comes to who you let into your friend group. You’re still going to be choosy AF (nothing’s ever gonna change that part of you), but your social life is picking up the pace for the next few weeks and you’re being introduced to way more people than usual. I’m not saying you’re going to become besties with all of them, because that’s not what Venus in Virgo is about at all—right now, you’re being given the opportunity to meet a variety of people, decide who makes the cut, and expand your group of friends to include some new faces in your regular squad. If you’re single, this could be the start of a FWB situation, or maybe a straight-up relationship blossoms out of that one friend you’ve been crushing on!
Sagittarius
Venus in Virgo shines a spotlight on you at work, and all the hardworking, meticulous, and perfectionist energy you’re feeling is helping you look like a boss in front of everyone on the job—especially, well, your boss! It doesn’t matter what you do for a living or where you work, but you’re honing your skills, killing it on the job, and looking like a total pro at what you’re doing the entire time. Normally, you might think that showing off like this would make your coworkers get annoyed with you, but that’s not the case right now—as a matter of fact, they’re recognizing how your hard work is benefiting them and they’re working harder to support you in return. A big bonus, a raise, or the opportunity for a promotion might come out of this Venus in Virgo transit, so bring your A game.
Capricorn
Summer’s not over yet, so if you haven’t gone on any kind of vacation, now’s the time to book one! Even the tiniest last-minute day trip can bring tons of positivity into your life right now, because Venus in Virgo is attracting all of its good vibes to your chart’s zone of travel. And if you don’t have the time or money to travel anywhere right now, your boss might give you the chance to take a work-related trip in the next few weeks, and I can’t emphasize enough that you should def take them up on the offer—all these Venusian blessings can still enter your life even if they’re attached to your job.
Aquarius
With Venus in Virgo, your chart’s eighth house is being turned on. The eighth house is a pretty mysterious place—it rules over all sorts of things, like bills, taxes, transformation, intimacy, the subconscious, and *gulp* death. Since Venus is one of the good guys as far as the planets go, I wouldn’t worry—there are actually tons of great things that can take place right now. This house is a pretty low-key part of your chart, because everything happening there affects your subconscious or things outside your control, so don’t expect any life-altering love affairs to start now. Maybe you’re getting an unexpected bonus attached to your next paycheck, receiving a check in the mail for something you totally forgot you were owed money from, or being surprised with a hefty Sephora gift card from your boo out of nowhere. You’re also getting mental and emotional clarity in regards to how you feel about your most intimate relationships. Your sex life isn’t more active, per se, but the sex you have is more meaningful and has a deeper emotional impact—i.e., don’t have any one-night stands unless you’re okay with catching feelings afterward!
Pisces
Right now, Venus is living it up in your chart’s seventh house, which is the part of your chart all about relationships. So, the planet of love is working its magic in your relationships for the next few weeks—obviously, this is a wonderful time for your sex life, your romantic relationships, and your friendships. Virgo is your sign’s polar opposite—where you’re emotional, Virgo is intellectual; where you’re compassionate, Virgo is cut-and-dried; where you’re the type to live with your head in the clouds, Virgo is very pragmatic—so you’re primarily focusing on other people rather than yourself right now and learning how to accept others’ differences and compromise with them. If you’re single, you can use Venus in Virgo (aka Virgo’s incredibly critical and picky energy) to decide which one of your many crushes you want to date forrealz, and if you’re in a relationship, this is just a period of time when you’re getting waaay closer to your boo and having a blast being with them!
