2024 Astrology Reading

Virgo, you’re a practical, logical earth sign guided by common sense and ruled by mentally agile Mercury, our planetary information, technology, and all-around communication guru. You pride yourself on your strong work ethic, steady routine, and ability to work as a valuable part of a team. But with Saturn moving through compassionate Pisces, your house of relationships and your zodiac opposite, this year, you’ll face challenges that could affect how you interact with the people closest to you.

Your leader Mercury starts the year retrograde for just part of one day while partnered with Sagittarius before turning direct and then later heading into like-minded Capricorn mid-month. You’ll still be feeling the effects of retrograde Mercury’s usual shake-up for most of the month, but the aftershocks aren’t nearly as strong. Make note of the other retrograde periods (April 1–25 in Aries, August 4–28 in Virgo and Leo, and November 25–December 15 in Sagittarius) and you’ll notice that they all have a fire sign influence, with the one in August briefly in your sign. All the same rules apply. You can’t put your life on hold entirely when your home planet acts out, Virgo, but using caution is always advised.

As always, the sun spends its usual time in your sign from late August to late September, and with Saturn affecting your personal relationships all year, you might be experiencing some growing pains at this point. If you usually spend your birthday with friends or your SO, you might decide to spend it exclusively with family this year. Or you might have a new bestie to establish a new birthday tradition with, or you might want to spend it alone. However you choose to welcome in a new year of you, this birthday will be more contemplative for sure.

LOVE

However you would define your love life early this year (completely single and happy, single and looking, in a committed relationship and happy or unhappy, or any number of “it’s complicated” entanglements), we’re fairly confident that it will change to something else before the year is over. The Universe has declared this to be your “year of relationships,” and there are plenty of planetary interactions that will help you navigate them.

We’ve already discussed the effects of Saturn in Pisces and your relationship zone this year, Virgo, and we also need to mention Uranus. Because of its placement in fixed earth sign Taurus and your ninth house of mind expansion, you’ll have to fight to keep some of your routines going. Mixing things up every now and then is good for your soul, but as soon as you stray too far from your usual, you start to get a little anxious. Use this educational, philosophical, boundary-pushing transit to get out of your head and immerse yourself more in the moment. Finding someone who can bring you out of your shell (a feisty Sagittarius, perhaps) could be the highlight of your year romantically.

When love goddess Venus partners with fiery Aries and your sexual dominance zone for most of April, there’s an almost immediate passionate impact on your love life. This is one of the best times for you to step up and be assertive, so if you really like someone, make your move. This spontaneous, direct approach to dating combined with this astrological duo’s competitive vibe urges you to make something happen now! This is also the time to explore fetishes and other taboo sexual topics. Have fun and be safe!

WORK

As a routine-loving, precise, and predictable earth sign, you take your work responsibilities seriously and are typically an extremely hard worker. Getting things right is more important to you than getting them done quickly, although you do strive to be efficient as well as effective. With Saturn in Pisces and your seventh house this year, all of your business relationships as well as career-related negotiations, agreements, and contracts will be highlighted.

Saturn’s partnership with creative, intuitive Pisces means you might be a bit more of a dreamer than usual regarding your career, Virgo. You’re not usually one to look at what-if instead of what-is, but what’s the harm in imagining some of those more fantastical scenarios this year? It’s not like your regular work routine will totally change. Let’s just say it will be enhanced by your dreams and visions of what could be in the future.

Energetic Mars is in Aquarius and your house of professionalism and proficiency from mid-February to the end of March. This airy influence still drives you to get the job done, but with a bit of a twist. Aquarius is a rebel and a visionary, so you’ll want to pitch some of your own ideas and inventions and see how they’re received. People you work with who aren’t used to you rocking the boat in any way might be surprised, but in a good way. This is a busy time of year in your career, and coming up with a way to shorten certain processes or make things easier makes you a true office hero.
