Venus Enters Virgo

Venus is in Virgo from August 22 – September 14

After three and a half weeks of non-stop flirting, partying and shopping while in Leo, Venus knew it was time to move on to a destination where she could repair her health, regain her strength and rebuild her finances. 

Yes, it was time to enter Virgo, the one sign that can whip anyone into shape.

While Venus is in Virgo, she is in her fall, which means that her energy is depleted. However, since her earthy side is very much at home in the sign of perfection, she has little trouble meeting its expectations.  Though Virgo’s regimens may be demanding, Venus embraces the mandatory dietary and fitness plans it prescribes because she knows it’s for her own good. After all, as the natural ruler of the sixth house of health, Virgo is a gifted healer.

Venus rules money, and while in the sign of accounting she also gets serious about money.  While she is here, it is an excellent time to review our budget and take steps to improve our finances.

When it comes to romance, the Virgin’s reputation for being selective is well deserved.  However, she is not a prude, and while Venus is here she encourages us to examine our sexuality and determine whether our needs are being met, repressed or denied.

Although she may seem indifferent to it while in Virgo, the truth of the matter is that the goddess of love is never more devoted to her partner than when she is in this dedicated sign. However, the same emotional composure that enables her to keep her head during emergencies also influences how she expresses affection.

As long as she is in Virgo’s house, Venus is decidedly uncomfortable with emotional grandstanding or public displays of affection.  Instead, she expresses her love through kind gestures and thoughtful acts of service.  A true believer in the maxim “actions speak louder than words,” Venus in Virgo practices what she preaches.

Likewise, it is time for us to take love seriously and either honor our commitments or end them. 

While Venus is in Virgo, she will stand by us for better or worse. The question is:  Will we do the same?
