Monthly Horoscope: Virgo
Virgo horoscope (August 23 – September 22) for the current month. It is built from real events in the sky — planetary ingresses, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and aspects — and breaks the month down by area of life and by day.
The month in brief
The Sun in the 3rd house: a month of communication — messages, conversations, short trips, learning.
By tradition the tone of the period is light: harmonious aspects (6) clearly outnumber tense ones (3). A good time to move things forward and ask for what you want.
Mon, November 9, 2:03 AM — New Moon in Scorpio, 3rd house. A New Moon in your 3rd house is a start for study, correspondence and negotiations. By tradition it is a good time to sign up for a course, begin an important conversation, sort out a car or a trip, and reconnect with siblings and neighbors.
Fri, November 13, 10:57 AM — Mercury stations and turns direct again (in Scorpio, 3rd house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — communication and short trips — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Fri, November 13, 7:29 PM — Venus stations and turns direct again (in Libra, 2nd house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — money and possessions — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Sun, November 22, 2:24 AM — Sun changes sign: now in Sagittarius, 4th house. The Sun in the 4th house: a month of home and family. By tradition, a time for your loved ones, your home and recharging.
Tue, November 24, 9:54 AM — Full Moon in Gemini, 10th house. A Full Moon in your 10th house is a career climax: by tradition the results of your work are on display and being judged. Home and family (the 4th house opposite) also need attention.
Wed, November 25, 6:38 PM — Mars changes sign: now in Virgo, 1st house. Mars in your sign: lots of energy and impatience. By tradition, a time to act, but also a time of quarrels and injuries from rushing.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your 2nd house: in love, reliability and care matter more than passion. Feelings are shown through gifts and deeds; a good time for joint purchases.
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.
Until November 25. Mars in your 12th house: hidden irritation and secret attractions. By tradition what is left unsaid piles up — better to speak directly but gently.
From November 25. Mars in your sign: passion and drive — you make the first move. By tradition it is easy to flare up both in love and in a quarrel: watch your tone.
Aspects of the period: Nov 4 — Venus ⚹ Jupiter (harmonious); Nov 10 — Venus ⚹ Mars (harmonious); Nov 28 — Venus ⚹ Jupiter (harmonious).

Work and career
Until November 25. Mars in your 12th house: work behind the scenes, hidden rivals, hidden fatigue. By tradition not a time for open battle — do your work quietly.
From November 25. Mars in your sign: plenty of energy and initiative — by tradition a time to take on difficult tasks and push your agenda. The flip side is impatience and conflict with those who are slow.
Saturn in your 8th house: loans, taxes and obligations to others limit your freedom. By tradition a time to pay off debts and put business finances in order.
Mercury in the 3rd house is in its element: lots of messages, calls, trips and new information.
Mercury is retrograde right now. By tradition, this is a time to review and redo: old issues and people come back, and new contracts, trips and tech purchases are best planned with room to spare.

Money
Jupiter in your 12th house: money slips away unnoticed — on helping others, treatment, rest. By tradition good for giving and settling old debts, not for taking risks.
Venus in your 2nd house is by tradition one of her best placements for money: income comes easily, and purchases of beautiful, quality things succeed.

8th house (shared money and change): Saturn.

From November 25. Mars in your sign: lots of energy, but by tradition a higher risk of injuries from haste, cuts, burns, headaches and fever. Sport is the best outlet.
Saturn in your 8th house: by tradition strength recovers more slowly than usual; don't skip routine check-ups.
When the Moon is in the 8th or 12th house from your sign, by tradition it drains your strength — rest on those days; in the 1st house and in the 5th and 9th (trines to your sign) you have the most energy.

- Tue, November 10 — Moon in the 4th house; Venus ⚹ Mars

How this horoscope is put together
The monthly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from the first day of the month to the last: the Sun and planets entering new signs, the stations of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and every exact aspect of the month. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
Events are translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Virgo is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. Each area is analysed separately: love through Venus and Mars, work through Mars, Saturn and Mercury, money through Jupiter and Venus, energy through Mars, Saturn and the Moon.
The lucky days for each area are the days with the highest total score: the Moon's house, planetary positions and retrogrades, exact aspects, the New Moon, the Full Moon and eclipses. The "By day" table shows the score for each day of the month and the events that made it up.
Ruler of Virgo
The ruler of the sign is Mercury. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Virgo than for other signs: favourable aspects to the ruler strengthen the whole period, and tense ones make it harder.
