Virgo Weekly Horoscope | January 22nd – 28th, 2024
Be careful not to put people’s noses out of joint when Mercury conjoins Mars in Capricorn on January 27th. On one hand, you’re perfectly right to point out a fault or defect. This could have done some serious damage if it wasn’t addressed. However, the problem with Mercury/Mars conjunctions is in the delivery. There tends to be a brusqueness combined with a snippy condescension that can be extremely off-putting. Nobody likes being made to feel stupid, and this is something you’ll need to be sensitive about if you don’t want to undermine your message. Taking the time to present criticisms politely and constructively always pays off.

Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, comes out of retrograde on January 27th. After weeks of backsliding, you will feel like you’re finally moving with the current of events rather than against it.
Uranus’s job in Astrology is to break down the things that aren’t working – like formulaic answers, out-of-date traditions, and conventional wisdom that’s no longer wise – and to push ahead with fresh perspectives, untried approaches, and innovative thinking.
No other planet is this forceful when it comes to overthrowing established modes, and you may find yourself struggling to make heads or tails of situations you once thought were rooted in place.
It’s important to remember during times like these to bend with the winds of change. You don’t want to be knocked down any more than you want to be blown away. You may not understand yet how all the pieces will fall in place, but this ensures that one day you will.

Subtle, but telling changes in the workplace indicate that something’s up. Some colleagues will pretend like there’s nothing to worry about, while others will take this as their cue to make a hasty exit. You, on the other hand, recognize an opportunity when you see it, and the time to seize it is when the Sun in Aquarius forms a square to your Ruling Planet Jupiter in Taurus. You would be wise to touch base with a certain manager or supervisor. Not only is this person a fan of your talent and abilities, they’re just the spokesperson needed to ensure higher-ups know who you are.

Venus in Capricorn isn’t known for being touchy-feely. If there was any Venus placement that would remain with arms crossed while others engaged in tear-filled reunions, it would be this Venus. And it isn’t because it’s cold and unfeeling. It’s because it’s yet to be convinced that the emotions on show are genuine. Yet Venus’s singular aspects to both Saturn in your sign and your Ruling Planet Jupiter this week show you reuniting with someone you’ve been on the outs with. Maybe it’s an estranged sibling or an ex-friend. It’s been said that time heals all wounds and that time for healing is now.

This week you must choose between what a situation could be and what it actually is. Most people would call this being practical, but there’s more going on than that. Jupiter-ruled signs (Sagittarius and Pisces) are imaginative signs. You can’t help wondering what life would be like if circumstances were different. Your ability to reenvision what’s taken for granted allows you to recognize untapped potential or reinterpret a gospel truth. Yet there are times when you must acknowledge that imagination and reality can also be like two roads that diverge, and for now, you might want to save the less traveled one for another day.

The days leading up to the Sun/Pluto conjunction on January 20th at the last degree of Capricorn are bound to be fraught with tension. Just remember that everything that needed to be said or done has been said and done already. You need to stay focused on what you want to walk away with. Admittedly it’s a bit like playing chicken, but in this case, you’ve come too far to be the first one to blink. Stand firm, and you’ll see the other side relent. Yes, there are bound to be repercussions from this face-off, but like with any Sun/Pluto conjunction, it was inevitable.

You’re bound to feel a rush of enthusiasm and excitement thanks to the First Quarter Moon in Aries on January 17th. This coincides with finally being invited to present an idea you’ve been developing or given the authority to spearhead a project. But no sooner are you granted this than you discover that interest has already moved on to something else, and you’re coming in right when things are winding down. So is your big break over before it began? That’s one way of looking at it. Another is that it’s up to you to resuscitate something that everyone else had given up for dead.

You have a fluid relationship to fantasy. You know when to embody it and when to leave it hanging in the air like a suggestion. Unfortunately, other people aren’t as adept as you. They tend to misread, get confused, or worse – grow insistent on knowing where things stand. There’s little appreciation for letting developments unfold on their own. It’s kind of like treating a twenty-one year old to a glass of vintage wine. Nevertheless, you will be forced to explain yourself this week to someone who wants answers. Use simple words – they’re the best way to create the appearance of sharing without giving away a thing.
