Virgo Horoscope for July 2018

This is a month of contrasts for you, Virgo, between inner and outer concerns. You begin the month with many different ideas on your career plate. At the same time, you are more aware than ever of unresolved issues that at times arise from your depths to challenge the smooth expression of your creativity. This is a season of introspection for you, involving both internal understandings and communicative outreach. The extremely powerful Solar Eclipse of July 12th is a time when plans could change; messages emanate quite directly from unconscious realms, as your very beliefs morph and rearrange themselves. Partners may allow you to see into the heart of the matter, although they cannot substitute for your own self-reliance. When Mercury, your ruler, retrogrades on the 25th, followed by the potent Lunar Eclipse of the 27th, you may be forced to recognize that nothing in your life is at all complete without taking your inner world far more fully into account.

It’s a busy month for you once again. After Uranus entered Taurus in May and then Mars turned retrograde in June, in your house of service and health, you are now receiving two eclipses this month affecting social activities and inner process.

This month gets kick-started into action on July 5th when Mercury in Leo in your twelfth house opposes Mars retrograde in Aquarius in your sixth house. You might be feeling called to serve or act on behalf of those who are suffering. The potential for mental or verbal agitation or confrontation are strong so be especially mindful when approaching difficult subject matters or when trying to solve complex problems. You are smart enough, kind enough, and brave enough to handle this energy tactfully.

Also on July 5th, the Sun in Cancer in your eleventh house will trine Jupiter in Scorpio in your third house with Jupiter moving quite slowly, getting ready to turn direct on July 10th. Themes of emotional healing, redemption, or the restoral of faith within groups, family, or among friends are pronounced. Partners also participate and bring a higher although somewhat confusing perspective, You may notice a change of momentum is at hand or that you are experiencing a breakthrough due to aligning yourself with or finding the support of the right people at the right time.

On July 9th Mercury in Leo in your twelfth house will square Jupiter in Scorpio in your third house. If you have been holding back your true thoughts or feelings, you may have an opportunity to share them and to be met with warmth and support from others. You may also find that your dreams are offering you clear guidance right now or that you are receiving insights and inspiration from time spent alone or in nature. Be careful of self-destructive ideas, impatient or grandiose thinking, or mental or verbal extravagance.

Then on July 12th the first eclipse arrives. The Sun will oppose Pluto in your fifth house as the New Moon (a solar eclipse) takes place in your eleventh house. This solar eclipse brings powerful changes to your social circles, to the groups or organizations you belong to and to your long-term dreams, goals, or aspirations. You might be off and running with a whole new set of future plans. As your values are changing, the people you surround yourself with will also inevitably transform. At the same time, you may need to demonstrate some level of creative compromise. Finding the right integration between your own voice and the needs or values of the groups of people you belong to is tricky, and this eclipse provides you with an opportunity to make these changes in a positive way.

July 18th Mars conjoins the South Node of the Moon in Aquarius in your sixth house. This is a call to action, whether it means cutting out something unhealthy, working hard to repair something that has been lost or damaged, or advocating for something, you will likely feel compelled to work hard for what you believe in right now. Be careful of overly rigid or severe reactions, as this transit may influence you to cut cords or overreact with anger or frustration.

On July 24th, Venus will oppose Neptune across your first and seventh house axis. Watch for themes of romance and fantasy, sensuality and flirtation, playfulness and imagination, and be careful to keep good boundAries in your romantic affairs because this transit can be quite intoxicating, quickly blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

Finally, on July 27th the Sun in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius at the time of a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius, across your 12th and 6thhouse axis, while both are square to Uranus in Taurus in your ninth house. This second eclipse brings things to a head in terms of sixth house activities of labor, sickness, and service. You are being asked to make a sacrifice or to work hard on behalf of your ideals, for the sake of healing, or for the benefit of others. While you are naturally smart and helpful, as a Virgo your pure and humble spirit can be either a blessing or a curse. This eclipse may call you to take a more assertive position, or it may invite you to release a rigid set of expectations. Either way, there is a great opportunity for the integration of your personal beliefs and your everyday work in the world.
