Virgo Horoscope for Today
A horoscope for Virgo (August 23 – September 22) based on the actual positions of the planets. Its main part is the Moon: it moves into a new sign every two to three days and sets the theme of the day. The other planets move more slowly and show the background for the month and the year.
The Moon
Until 5:40 PM: in Libra, 2nd house; from 5:40 PM: in Scorpio, 3rd house.
Until 5:40 PM. The Moon is in the 2nd house, the house of money and possessions. By tradition, attention shifts to practical matters: purchases, spending, earnings, whatever gives you a sense of security. A good day to go over your budget, and a bad one for impulse buys.
From 5:40 PM. The Moon is in the 3rd house, the house of communication and your immediate circle. By tradition, this is a day of conversations, messages, short trips and small errands: plenty of contacts and information, less focus. Good for seeing neighbors and siblings, for studying and for paperwork.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planetary positions are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one is the 2nd, and so on. Interpretations follow the rules of tradition; the text is the same for everyone of the same sign.
The other planets

- Venus — in Libra, 2nd house retrograde
Venus in the 2nd house: tradition links it with pleasant purchases and money that comes easily.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.

Mars in the 12th house: hidden fatigue and behind-the-scenes conflicts; tradition advises against picking fights.
- Jupiter — in Leo, 12th house
Jupiter in the 12th house: a quiet year before a new cycle — by tradition, a time for rest, inner work and helping others.
- Saturn — in Aries, 8th house retrograde

Saturn is retrograde right now — for about four and a half months a year. By tradition, a time to go back to unfinished obligations.

How to read this horoscope
The Moon is the day: look at which house it is in and whether it changes sign. The Sun shows the theme of the month (in the 1st house, your birthday month); Mercury, Venus and Mars set the background for several weeks, Jupiter and Saturn for a year or more.
Event times are shown by your device's clock, adjusted for your time zone. The “Yesterday” and “Tomorrow” buttons show the neighboring days.
This text is the same for everyone born under Virgo — that is how a horoscope by sign works, and it has no proven predictive power. For an individual picture, see transits to your birth chart; for the character of the sign, see the Virgo page.
