Virgo Monthly Horoscope

Relationships, Children, Millennials

Virgo, you are now at the end point with long-running issues (for the last 16 years) about sexual relationships with parenthood potential; pregnancies; babies; infants; schoolchildren; Millennials. This includes your own grown-up adult children if you are the right age.

This is such an important downhill slope of relief and release, coming in slow stages, that I will quote from my books (2020 Vision, Handbag Horoscopes, Astrolove: Penguin) to give you the detail.

As discussed, this long cycle which began in 2008, affects the world of children. This means your own son or daughter, as well as any godchildren, grandchildren, nieces or nephews in your life. A looser connection to children through your job, for example, or through friends’ sons and daughters, or even through your hobbies, roles, goals and interests involving much younger people may also have been on the agenda. You may also be concerned (or have been concerned) with issues like pregnancy, infertility, adoption, postnatal depression, miscarriage and abortion at this time too. The loss of a child can be almost impossible to bear on this transit.

Pluto ruled the underworld in the Roman tradition which informs modern astrology today. Pluto took, took over, seized, tried to control and the rest. Resisting this, him, her or them (Pluto shows up as both people and situations) has made you impressively strong since 2008. You are now well and truly empowered, having taken on formidable odds and can congratulate yourself on having earned permanent status (in the eyes of others), as not just a survivor, but a victor.

You can be a grandparent or even a great-grandparent on this cycle and have issues with that role and the realities of those younger faces. A teacher with a class, or an entertainer with a young audience. The father in the IVF process or the mother who is still dealing with a miscarriage. This is a two-step. Pluto vanishes from Capricorn and your solar Fifth House by the middle of November. Ceres then resumes the job of deal-making, compromise agreements, shared control and redistributed reins. By December 7th, 2024, you will sign off.

Do you have Leo factors in your natal chart? There is an aftermath to this, as Mars Retrograde runs through Leo, also your Fifth House of offspring and younger people as follows:

* November 2024: Mars 0 to 5 Leo
* December 2024: Mars 6 to 2 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* January 2025: Mars 1 to 0 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* February 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* March 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* April 2025: Mars 0-5 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* May 2025: Mars 5 to 20 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* June 2025: Mars 21 to 29 Leo (Finishing the cycle)

Allow for stop-start, cancellation and go-slow please. Don’t just assume you can rush at this and have it over and done within a few weeks because Mars is backwards here. If this is child custody or similar, be aware that what you begin in November will be walked back in December. This seems likely for those of you organising Christmas. Your personal chart will tell a more personal story. You are welcome to use the Tarot, Garden Oracle and Astrology Oracle on this website for more guidance if you are a Premium member.

Your Hidden Self in Motion

Leo weather (Mars Retrograde in Leo) is more like climate change from November 2024 to June 2025. It brings a strong focus on your psyche, soul, spirit, psychology, psychic ability, astral body, chakras, aura and inner life. Your hidden self. Your relationship with your God or the Universe. So, astrology or Tarot, and, in some cases, found in others such as counsellors and therapists, even diaries or journals. We associate this transit with the use of new psychiatric drugs for depression or anxiety, as much as we associate it with mediums and the spiritualist church. It’s about the invisible inner world, Virgo, and it’s about to heat up and move far more quickly. Dream interpretation is another example of this transit. This can be the Vatican (if you are a Roman Catholic) or the Church of England if you were brought up in that faith.

The Leo weather is so personal because you may not be religious at all (of course). Yet, what we are seeing here about your inner life, inner world, secrets, spirit, and soul is a call to action. The dates above are the same for this cycle, but in your solar chart (not your natal chart) it is about the need to push forward, possibly attack, and certainly charge in with an area of your soul, psyche or spirit which nobody can see. I would be extremely careful with magic, however it presents itself, as you are dabbling with the lower astral when you do this and Mars Retrograde is not helpful. Dion Fortune knew a thing or two.

Do you also have Pisces natal chart factors? Then this is even more important as your natal Twelfth House of inner life, solitude, Christianity (and its rivals, like psychiatry) is currently taking up a huge amount of your time and energy on a personal level. It needs time, but the cycle ends in 2025.
