Virgo Horoscope for February 2024

This is an other-oriented month for you, Virgo, although that is not to say that your creative self-expression is not on the front burner. It might be just that your own developmental evolution requires partnership interaction in this timing. Sweet as logic can be, you might also be recognizing that logic alone won’t get you where you need to go, without an element of faith in the Universe, or Nature herself, to have your back. This used to be the province of religious practice, and that could still be the way, and in any case the ineffable is calling you. Along with the effects of relationship on your life path, you might find yourself wrestling with these types of questions. With the powerful Aquarius New Moon of February 9th, which also celebrates the return of Pluto to this sign, you are looking into your habitual patterns and feeling the shift. A sense of expansion is manifest, so that you might also be exuberant and full of curiosity for an enhanced understanding that can help you make better sense of the world and your role within it. Relationship commitment could be part of this, as you continue to find your own way forward.
