Virgo Virgo
July 30 ~ August 13
Action Mars is soon to exit your sign, Virgo, entering Libra on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Just as soon as it does, it forms a Grand Trine with Uranus and Pluto, which could blow the roof off your previous plans—in the best possible way. Stay open and observe whether the potential changes on the table reflect desirable evolution. As the planet of action, desire, and motivation, Mars brings a subtle but significant change in focus. This transition invites you to move from a period of personal expression and self-assertion into a phase of financial strategy, self-worth improvement, and material stability. With your ruler Mercury still retrograde in Leo, you will be re-evaluating your self-worth in a way that has you redirecting your efforts. As Mars enters the 2nd house, Virgo may feel a boost of confidence when it comes to handling money and asserting your value. It’s a good time to take calculated risks or ask for what you deserve—especially if you feel your worth has been undervalued. You may also feel the urge to upgrade your lifestyle in some way—perhaps by investing in things that help elevate your personal or professional life. Remember, sometimes it takes money to make money. If you’ve secured an interview or a potential career opportunity, Mars in Libra might inspire you to invest in yourself—whether that’s buying new clothes to match the occasion, upgrading your résumé, or even enrolling in a course to level up your skills. This transit encourages you to take calculated risks and make strategic investments that will ultimately pay off. A smart move could pay dividends.
Your ruler Mercury turns direct again in Leo on Monday, Aug. 11. Mercury direct in Leo asks Virgo to evolve beyond service alone—to shine as a creator, not just a fixer. It’s an invitation to lead with heart and communicate from the center of your being, not the sidelines. You will also find the courage to share more of your heart without fear. Jupiter and Venus conjunct in Cancer on Tuesday, Aug. 12, is a gentle gift for you, Virgo—gifting you with community and connection when you soften your protective side. You experience healing through closeness when you balance discernment with emotional trust.
