Weekly Horoscope: Virgo Season Snaps the Loop You’re Stuck In

This weeks horoscope reminds you: you’ve been circling something for weeks, analyzing it from every angle, tweaking it mentally and waiting for the “right” moment to act. This weeks astrology snaps that cycle in half.

With Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra igniting the conversion of thought into action PLUS a disruptive Virgo New Moon demanding you break away from your own stale systems, the cosic message is direct: you’re not meant to wait to feel ready, you’re meant to decide to be ready. Keep tinkering around and you risk turning your routines into a cage built from perfectionism. But move — even imperfectly — and those same systems become the foundations for your next success.

Welcoming Virgo season, it’s time to do things differently: apply for the thing you don’t feel qualified for, launch before every detail is polished, change the routine you secretly resent.

Will you stay trapped in overthinking, or choose to act before hesitation costs you more than progress ever could?

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
So think about the situation you've been circling around this
matter, this thought, this issue, this thing you're trying
to figure out. And it's been the same issue for
weeks and weeks. You've been analysing it, you've
been trying to fix it in your head, you've even been trying to
wait for the right moment to really do something about it.
Well, this week comes to snap that loop in half, with Mercury

(00:24):
and Mars making thought translate into action a lot
easier, plus a rebellious Virgo New Moon demanding that you
disrupt anything that's stagnantand stale.
The message this week is blunt. You're not meant to wait to feel
ready. You're meant to decide to be

(00:46):
ready. So if you keep tinkering around
on this thing, then you risk building this kind of cage out
of your own systems and perfectionism.
But when you move, even in imperfection, those same systems
actually become the ladder, likethe scaffolding for you to climb
to your next level of success. As Virgo season begins this

(01:09):
week, ask yourself honestly, areyou willing to act 1st and tweak
everything later? Or will you get stuck in
overthinking, letting that be the very thing that stops you
from progressing? Welcome to The Horoscope Vault,
a podcast that explores the world and life through the lens
of astrology, with a view to supporting you through the ups

(01:33):
and downs and helping you make more confident decisions
throughout each chapter. I'm Charlie, an associate member
of the American Federation of Astrologers and Astrology reader
for radio's The Bob and Cheri Show.
This is your week ahead forecastfrom Monday 18th of August.

(02:02):
So Monday opens up Monday 18th with Mercury in Leo after it's
been done with its retrograde for the last however many weeks
just causing mayhem. Especially as that retrograde
started in the degree of anarchy.
Things just got thrown around and during that time you may

(02:23):
have trying to been grabbing andgrasping to stabilize things, to
make sure things didn't get out of hand in any kind of way.
And now it's direct. The relief is likely there, but
there is definitely always more coming.
So Monday 18th of August, Mercury in Leo sextiles, Mars in
Libra. This is the kind of transit that

(02:45):
bridges your mind, which is Mercury, with your actions,
which is Mars. A sextile creates an efficient
flow between thinking and doing.So you are able to carry out the
things that you imagine that youcan carry out, even things that
you previously thought may have been beyond your reach.

(03:07):
And maybe you've heard of the phrase before.
I think therefore I am the phrase famously coined by Rene
Descartes. It means that you can prove your
existence just by your ability to think, because even if
everything else is uncertain, your thoughts and their
continuity confirm that you are in fact here.

(03:29):
You are alive. You are an energy being.
So during this sextile, that very statement, I think
therefore I am evolves a little bit into I think therefore I
act. You're not meant to linger in
the thought part of this alone, yet it means you're alive.

(03:53):
But there's a lot more to do with mental clarity and the
mental faculties that you have right now are seeking some kind
of expression through action. Now, I'm big on degree theory,
so Mercury sits at 7° of Leo. The theme of this is application
And then Mars sitting at 7° of Libra is a degree of

(04:16):
incompetence, a degree of correction, which is interesting
because the sex style is harmonious.
So how is application and incompetence potentially a
harmonious experience? And this is where it gets fun
and interesting and relatable. Perhaps you have been stuck in

(04:40):
this pattern or this loop of over analysis or anxiety or
feeling blocked about something that isn't quite right yet in
the steps one through 10 of achieving something that is your
current goal, the thing you've got your sights set on.
Maybe you are stuck at Step 2. Maybe you're stuck at Step 3,

(05:03):
where the thing isn't quite right.
You're trying to fix or perfect a single piece before you move
on to the next step, which is naturally causing a delay in the
rest of your progress. But the message of Mercury
sextile Mars right now is that this step isn't actually

(05:25):
necessary. This step isn't solvable.
This step isn't something that you can understand right now.
And so this is kind of an invitation to keep moving
anyway, to act even if it's imperfect, because you'll circle
back and you'll refine this later on.
So don't get stuck trying to fixone problem.

(05:46):
Don't get stuck trying to figureout one thing that you think you
can't move forward without that piece of information, because
it's likely that actually you understand that step more.
It's something that only untangles in motion.
Your answers come when you act on your ideas instead of getting

(06:09):
trapped in them. So this sextile is great for
executing a plan that you've been thinking about for too
long, that you've been holding back on.
It's for speaking up, for launching, for pitching, and for
leading with words and then backing those words with action.
It's perfect for moving forward with a project.

(06:32):
Even if you feel like one piece of this project still needs
figuring out, it's time to breaka loop of overthinking by
choosing A decisive moment. This is the idea of refining as
you go instead of waiting for that perfection.
So examples might be just going ahead and recording and posting

(06:53):
some content instead of tweakingthe content and the script over
and over and over again. This might be the hunch for you
to launch a project and then think about polishing the name
or the branding later. You know, to not get stuck on
what you're going to call this creative brainchild of yours

(07:16):
because actually, the more you move through developing this
project, then the name will reveal itself.
Other everyday examples of how this could look include starting
a fitness business or creative routine even though you don't
feel ready. So if you have an e-mail, a

(07:38):
call, or a pitch to send, just do it instead of continuing to
research it to the ground. As a reflection point, I want
you to think about the thing that you keep saying.
I'll move on to Step 3 or 4, or I'll just move on to the next
step once I have this particularstep sown up because it's not

(08:00):
going to be sewn up until you move further through the
process. That is the energy opening up
Monday and it kind of sails through most of the beginning of
the week and then we hit August the 22nd.
As we enter Virgo season, it's agreat time to remember that No2

(08:23):
Zodiac seasons of differing years are ever the same.
Because while the Sun will always confirm a certain season
throughout the year, for example, this time last year we
were moving into Virgo season, it's all of the other planets in
slightly different locations that change the flavour of
experience. Virgo's general essence, both in

(08:48):
classical astrology and the deeper archetypal associations,
the ones that have kind of emerged over time, are things
like work, service and skill. Virgo is the absolute archetype
of the worker bee. It's developing skill, it's
devoting yourself to excellence,it's very competent, hands on,

(09:10):
organised and modest action. With this absolute dedication to
getting things done properly andimproving processes, Virgo is
also always going to be your health, your healing, and a ton
of bodily functions. Virgo rules the body systems of
integration. So that's digestion.

(09:32):
That's the beginning starter process of purification.
It's absorption, and it translates also metaphorically
to how you digest and absorb life.
Sticking with that digestion theme, Virgo is about food.
It's about the consumption of food, but it's also the farming

(09:52):
and the storage of food. Associations with the harvest
and preserving what has been grown means Virgo will always be
agricultural and productive and concerned with the sustenance of
life. More cognitively, Virgo is about
order and details and systems. So earlier in the Zodiac we see

(10:15):
Gemini about collecting and investigating data and details.
Virgo is where you categorise, it's where you organise, it's
where you analyse. Virgo governs precision,
accuracy. It's the mental skills of
systemising things to make sure chaos, anything chaotic, is

(10:40):
brought into a good order. Virgo is also, you may have
heard references, the Virgin. It's purity, it's improvement,
it's modesty, it's about refinement, it's stripping away
anything unnecessary, leaving only what is clean and correct
and useful. So it does seek purity, but

(11:03):
simply as a path to efficiency. Not, you know, these thoughts of
superiority. That is not Virgo at all.
Modesty and humble energy is much more Virgo.
And finally, just looking through a few of the Virgo
meanings, Virgo is animals, specifically the small animals.

(11:29):
It's your cats, your dogs, it's chickens and bees.
It's the people who train the animals, it's the animal
trainers themselves, and it's the humane societies dedicated
to these lovely, cute creatures.Because Virgo really governs
care. That's that work and service
mentioned earlier. So it's also care of small

(11:52):
creatures through consistent daily service.
It's devotion to things and tasks that keeps life moving.
So Virgo, the archetype of refinement through work, is the
instinct to sort, to heal, to harvest, to categorise, to
improve, to serve, to sustain. It rules the literal process of

(12:20):
digestion of food, the mental process of digestion of
information. Virgo is humble, industrious,
meticulous. It's committed to systems, not
just any systems, but the systems that keep life
functioning smoothly. And it doesn't seek applause,
because the satisfaction is simply in doing things the right

(12:40):
way. Every single Virgo season, every
single year, will always progress through a fixed set of
developmental themes. And this is 6 specific themes.
Burgo season opens with honesty and vulnerability, which on the
positive end of the spectrum is the knowledge that being

(13:01):
vulnerable is really the secret to intimacy.
Vulnerability breaks down barriers to intimacy, but on the
negative side, the energy for avoiding vulnerability through
dishonesty, through lying, is this guarded feeling that has an

(13:25):
agenda in a relationship. And that's where relationships
then become power struggles, codependent or just with poor
communication. Especially as we know the season
to follow Virgo season is Libra.So Virgo season opens with the
need for intimate vulnerability.Then it moves through to some

(13:46):
aloneness that seems like quite a contrast.
But on the positive end of that spectrum, it's the energy for
balancing your heart energy because your heart beats and it
creates your aliveness that allows you to be of service.
But if you don't take alone timefor rest and relaxation, if you

(14:07):
don't have proper boundaries in place, then you spend these vast
amounts of energy in service to community at cost to yourself.
So on the negative end of that spectrum, it's energy in force
rather than natural energy. It's forcing use of energy to

(14:30):
get things done for others in this kind of sacrificial serving
other people kind of way, which the result of that is leaving
you weak. It's porous when you have no
boundaries and that quickly leads to becoming burnt out, so
vulnerable intimacy moving through to some aloneness to

(14:53):
rest and recuperate. Then Virgo season moves into
some purposeful confusion. There is positivity in
confusion. Believe it or not, there is an
amazingness that comes from embracing confusion, because
confusion is indicative of therebeing infinite possibilities.

(15:18):
You're not confused if you are certain when there is a way to
do a thing. Confusion comes when there is
more than one answer, when thereis more than one option.
And that is kind of beautiful. It allows you to continually
keep your eye on the highest potential and possibility.
So when confusion clouds everything midway through Virgo

(15:42):
season, and I'm more than sure that this will pop back up in a
future episode, but when confusion begins to cloud
everything, don't let it do its normal negative thing of turning
into pressure. Don't let confusion turn into
this pressure for you to figure things out in that instant
moment that you feel confused. Because as soon as you succumb

(16:05):
to that pressure to figure things out, you shut down the
potential of possibilities. That's when you find yourself
worried about how instead of just focusing on the next step
on what it is. So when confusion crops up mid
season, focus on the fact that this offers you a multitude of
possible options, The natural next progression and these

(16:27):
progressions are mapped out through the degrees.
It's a splitting up of the decans.
The decans in astrology just mean that the 30° of each shine
are set into three specific portions, zero to 10 degrees, 10
to 20° and 20 to 29°, and then each of those portions are split

(16:51):
into two. That's how we get 6 progressive
developments through the season.So once we've hit vulnerability
and we've moved into recuperative aloneness, and then
there is a smidge of confusion to show potential, the next is
realisation, which is probably the best thing to come after

(17:14):
some confusion. It's in its most positive
expression, this divine timing of having an aha moment.
It's an insight, it's some clarity.
It's knowing that you are not the exact proponents of your
mind and your thoughts and your stories.
You are pure consciousness experiencing all of those

(17:36):
things. And so realisation is from the
confusion of letting thoughts come and go as if they were just
clouds, and then that in itself makes space for clarity to come
in divine timing. The thing to watch out for here,
the negative end of the spectrum, is going to be the
energy for obsessing of your thoughts.

(17:59):
Obsessing and attaching meaning to them in a way that you're
trying to find and curate the aha moment yourself, which will
feel helpless because you don't know the universe's timing in
the way that the universe has everything planned to
perfection. These developments then move
through to conflict, which is a positive doorway to inner peace.

(18:25):
This is about taking full responsibility for emotions
before confronting anything, andjust not engaging in needless
confrontation. It's not being volatile or
reactive for the point of creating chaos, you know, just
fighting for things that don't matter or projecting unresolved

(18:49):
emotions and issues onto others which contributes to unnecessary
conflict. It's using conflict as a point
of finding a solution. If something isn't going right,
all that means is there is a wayfor it to become more correct.
Conflict isn't this inherent negative whole that swallows you

(19:14):
up and ruins your life. Conflict is simply a chance to
do things better. It's a chance to understand
things better. It's a chance to satisfy more
all at once by figuring out which things are in contrast.

(19:34):
So the conflict is for the purpose of stimulating
determination, maybe a little bit of that Virgo perfectionism
determination. And it is that determination
which is the final theme, the developmental theme of Virgo
season. Determination is the energy for
enjoying being alive in your human body that functions, that

(19:57):
has systems, that has been vulnerable, that has been alone
to recuperate. That has experienced confusion
for the purpose of opening the mind to extra potentials, that
has then moved into realisation,and that has then seen conflict
as a way to improve. And in knowing that the body is

(20:19):
a vehicle for the soul, that's what cultivates presence in this
physical Organism. And that is where you find
delight in perfect synchronicityof being in the right place at
the right time. And so the specifics of Virgo
season aspects. So the way that Virgo season is
going to run, the events during these times of aloneness and

(20:43):
confusion and realization, how that looks date by date, the
specific dates of this season that are the most important to
know. That episode is going to be out
on Thursday for exclusive Horoscope Vault subscribers.
And right before that episode comes out will be the Wellness
Wednesday episode coming out midweek.
So by Saturday, both feet are into Virgo season and this will

(21:08):
be the Virgo New Moon, also happening at 0° of Virgo.
This is a young new moon where 0° signal something just at the
beginning, at the very very beginning where it's starting to
take form, and the 0° of Virgo is called the pre emptive

(21:30):
strike. It means the instinct to act
before things become a certain way, before things become
unmanageable. Which in its positive expression
is where you realize a potentialproblem early on and you cut it
off at the root. It's this some kind of fertile

(21:52):
energy where you're capable of creating new conditions.
But in its not so positive expression, it could mean seeing
the issue clearly, seeing what you need to do, knowing what you
need to do, but still hesitatingon when or how to act, remaining
stuck at a certain point of thisprocess or journey, stuck in a

(22:16):
problem. And it's that uncertainty that
delays movement. This new move very much relates
to whether or not you have the ability to move through the
process of that aspect. The Mercury sextile Mars
mentioned earlier in the week asking if you can shelf

(22:37):
something. Can you shelf or table this
thing that you've been going round and round and round on
just for now in order to continue moving through?
Especially as we know, a new moon is always a reset of
intentions and new beginnings and fresh cycles and changes in
directions and new possibilities.

(22:58):
You're probably stuck on a situation because you're trying
to solve it with an old perspective.
And on the other side of the newmoon comes a fresh perspective,
where it shines a spotlight on improved daily life and personal
systems and routine and health and organization and the way you
use your brain. Because this new moon happens in

(23:21):
a square aspect with Uranus, which is a planet of shock,
freedom, disruption and rebellion.
It's hinting that your life structures are ripe for, and
maybe in need of some kind of upheaval.
It's indicative of a quick decision, it suggests unusual

(23:43):
developments, and it even pointsto breakthrough realizations.
So if you don't move past that treading water, that stalemate,
that stuck place you're at before the New moon comes on the
other side of the New moon, by the time the sun squares with

(24:07):
Uranus as we move through Saturday and Sunday, you might
be stuck in a six month cycle ofthe old saying, if you always do
what you've always done, then you'll always have what you've
always got. It's that whole thing of if
nothing changes, then nothing changes.

(24:27):
And this is suggesting that you need to innocently try out
something very, very different. And actually, the more different
and the more weird and the more outside of the box, then the
better. This is you applying for a job
or an opportunity that feels totally out of your league just

(24:48):
to see what happens. This is switching up your entire
life routines and seeing how your body and your energy
responds. This is you saying yes to
something that you would usuallydecline because in your mind it
doesn't make sense. This is dressing, speaking,
presenting yourself in a way that contradicts your usual

(25:10):
image. It's following an intuitive
nudge, even if that nudge clashes with what people expect
of you. This is you acting on a bold
idea quickly, before you have time to rationalize your way out
of it, or acting on an idea without seeking approval. 1st
and this weekend is a great timefor you to turn your phone off

(25:34):
for a full 24 hours. And if you can't do that, then
stick it on that focus mode in order to disrupt your normal
technological doom scrolling consumption cycle.
Because by Sunday, as the Sun perfects this square to Uranus,

(25:56):
that energy deepens so much more.
And the Sun in Burgo is at the degree of shyness.
It's about withdrawing to feel, say.
And then Uranus warns of rigid thinking.
It's narrow paths, it's false certainty.
So if you take the Sun in Virgo side of a square, because

(26:18):
remember, a square is always a decision for you to make
yourself. The oppositions are simply
situations created for you by external people and matters that
develop and they throw you into this imbalanced position where
you have to find the balance. A square is a challenging aspect

(26:40):
that is a decision for you to make.
Are you on this side or are you on that side because you can't
be on both. So the Sun in Virgo is that shy
withdrawing, which might be right for you and your sign, but
it does come with missing out onsome kind of opportunity.

(27:01):
If you choose that side you willwithdraw, but you also may miss
something big on the Uranus and Gemini side.
This is going into some hardcorerigid thinking, some blinkered
thinking, and allowing yourself to be closed off as you hyper,

(27:23):
hyper fixate on something that is so insanely unusual.
It's so intensely off your beaten path.
But it does indicate that you'reentering a fresh cycle, one
where you drop your guard and you act outside of the fear,

(27:48):
outside of hesitation that's been keeping you stuck at a
specific point. This whole week makes you really
aware of avoidance that is masked as perfection and you
want something to progress perfectly, but it's actually OK
to just move forward. However it moves forward,

(28:10):
however that looks, real change now comes from being honest
about the systems and the walls that you've built that need
dismantling because they're preventing you from making
headway and they've been keepingyou treading water.
So this week is good for so manynew things.

(28:31):
Some of those things might be making a change in your home,
your habits, your routines, yourinner life before those habits
become a true energy drain. This week is good for addressing
any relationship matters that you've been avoiding and
choosing honest vulnerability ordeciding if that matter is OK

(28:56):
for you to shelf for now and come back to you later.
This week is for you to move past a problem that you haven't
been able to solve and then trust that it will be figured
out later down the line and knowing that it's not going to
negatively impact anything by leaving it till later.
Use the new moon to set intentions for releasing

(29:18):
perfectionism, for breaking patterns of self sabotage and
deciding not to do this thing where you keep waiting and
waiting and waiting to feel completely ready before you
progress. And I'm going to finish on this
note with this quote that I readthe other week, which I think is

(29:38):
really relevant for this whole episode.
And it was a quote that says youwill never feel ready because
ready isn't a feeling, it's a decision.
To be ready is a choice. And so this week, choose to be

(29:59):
ready to move forward, even whenthe doubt is allowed, because
staying still costs you more than taking a step forward
would. And if you've been considering a
reading, there is an extensive reading menu in the show notes
below that explains all about what kind of options there are
for readings and what each reading gives you.

(30:22):
Each horoscope is time stamped below for your convenience.
For Aries Sun and Aries rising this week, there's this feeling
of circling back to something that you recently got fired up
about, and maybe you didn't finish it or it didn't come to a

(30:44):
conclusion. It might have been an idea that
you left half built a creative passion, like starting to paint
something and not finishing it. It could be creating content
that you had to drop when life got busy or something.
In a romantic or dating scenario, it was an issue and it

(31:05):
didn't get any kind of closure. It might have even been a
romantic situation that fizzled out before it got going.
So early in the week your mind sharpens and prioritizes back to
this thing. It does help you revisit the
part that kind of originally stalled.
So you may find yourself reopening a conversation to

(31:29):
finish something that needs to be finished.
You might find yourself replyingto someone you had ghosted.
You might dust off some old equipment and get back on the
horse. You may be restarting a side
hustle thinking why did I ever stop this?
If it is a conversation, then any conversations with partners
or collaborators become very direct.

(31:52):
This helps you identify what needs fixing so you can actually
push forwards or decide if you even want to push forwards
midweek. This shift continues.
Think about your daily routines,your workouts, your work
patterns, even change your schedule if you need to.
Think about your sleep, your diet and your responsibilities.

(32:13):
As Virgo season comes towards the end of the week, you may
notice yourself suddenly needingto clear piles of paperwork to
restructure your morning routine.
Maybe you sign up for a yoga class, a Pilates class.
Maybe you start batch cooking meals so life and health feels
less chaotic. And the New moon supports you in
doing that. This weekend it begins a fresh 6

(32:36):
month cycle around your health and maintenance.
But knowing that this new moon is about off the wall and
completely different structures when it comes to your health,
your Wellness, and your work schedule, you need to set
intentions for your body and your workflow so that they
operate perfectly. But this isn't going to be

(32:59):
anything that looks like anything you've ever done
before. Your schedule needs to change
drastically. Your meal prep, your fitness
routine, these things can't lookthe way they've been looking for
the last six months, and so a drastic change is needed.
Towards the end of the week. Everyday interactions might get

(33:21):
heated or something surprising comes out.
Somebody blurts out something blunt and it annoys you.
Or maybe somebody's making too much noise or pushing a
boundary. Or if you have travel plans then
they may change last minute and so you find yourself snapping
back because of irritation. And it's these irritations that

(33:45):
shake you out of autopilot and push you to rethink how much
time and energy you spend on certain conversations, errands
and people. And by the week's close, you
realise that change doesn't always come from bold, dramatic
transformations, but shifts thatripple through every layer of
your life. Yes, by changing your eating

(34:06):
habits, there's this domino effect that something else,
somewhere gets the benefit. By changing your workout habits,
by choosing more deliberate habits altogether, including
honest communication and brave priorities, then your life
starts to reorganize itself around the version of you who

(34:27):
acts with intention. And that's where momentum builds
for Taurus Sun and Taurus risingthis week.
Something connected to your home, family and your sense of
emotional security resurfaces. And it might be a practical
matter that you thought you had already handled, or a lingering

(34:47):
feeling that you thought you already tended to and you swept
aside. It could be anything from an
actual home issue like a plumbing or an appliance issue
that acts up. It could be a landlord or a
lease detail that needs addressing, a discussion with a
parent that's been left unfinished, or just this
creeping dissatisfaction when you walk into your living space

(35:09):
and you realize that it doesn't quite fit you the way you want
it to. Early on, a quiet determination
sets in and you start reviewing old decisions about moving,
renovating, reviewing things, fixing things behind the scenes,
researching, decluttering, dealing with insurances.

(35:30):
This is all about adjusting yourprivate routines and that does
include sleep, it includes food,and it includes meditative self
soothing practices. And all of this is so that your
foundations can't feel solid again.
Even if nobody else notices, theweek brings your attention

(35:51):
through this process of pleasure, creativity, romance,
play, and personal joy. So it does nudge you to remember
that life is not only for hard work and for maintenance, but
for living as well. So go ahead and browse concert
tickets or revisit an artistic hobby or swipe on a dating app.

(36:11):
Dress more boldly. Plan something fun, just because
it's fun. The New Moon's new intentions
will form around something that makes your heartbeat faster, and
this might not be picking up something that you already know
you enjoy. This might be something
completely off the wall that youthink you would enjoy that

(36:32):
you've never done before outsideof the box.
Remember this new moon? These new intentions should be
totally abstract from anything you've ever done before, and
this could coincide with the desire to share more of your
personality and your talents with the world.
And that starts growing louder, much louder than your comfort

(36:56):
driven habit of staying quiet and behind the scenes.
Towards the end of the week, money, value and confidence
become less predictable, and a sudden expense like car repairs
or vet bills or birthday gift ora repeating subscription, or
maybe just a small dip or a small surge in earnings prompts

(37:17):
you to question what you need materially versus what you are
emotionally clinging to. And it's not necessarily
negative, but it does shake yoursense of stability just enough
to make you re evaluate whether your financial setup and your
lifestyle feels right for who you're becoming rather than who
you've been in the past. Because sometimes your comfort

(37:38):
zone costs more than what it actually gives back.
By the week's close, you find yourself standing between
familiarity and growth, realizing that handling private
matters with maturity while alsorefusing to stay quiet when your
heart and your desires are all about wanting more.
It's the balance that unlocks your evolution.

(38:00):
So what begins as a subtle in a shift sets off a chain of
external changes over the comingmonths.
Because true security doesn't come from staying still for you.
It's built when you trust your instincts and allow yourself to
expand, even when it feels strange.

(38:20):
For Gemini Sun and Gemini rising, there's a familiar issue
resurfacing this week that's likely linked to a conversation,
some kind of communication, or your immediate environment.
This might be the return of somelocal paperwork that you've
delayed. Something as simple as updating
your vehicle registration or replying to HOA letters.

(38:44):
Just, I would say, something in the mail or something paperwork
contractual, or maybe even a stalled negotiation to do with
shared responsibilities. Something where you're connected
with another person. Maybe it'll be as simple as
recurring problems with unreliable Wi-Fi, a missed

(39:04):
delivery, or a travel commute issue that you keep meaning to
handle early on. You may need to chase a missing
parcel if it is male related, orperhaps you just need to book
your car in for repairs or reschedule a repeatedly
cancelled meeting. This is giving the feeling of
catching up with something that was maybe dropped halfway

(39:26):
through. When the sun enters Virgo season
and there is also a new moon in Virgo, your attention turns
towards home and your emotional stability, and this marks the
start of a six month cycle of reshaping your living situation
and private life. Moving out from someone, moving
in with someone, or some kind ofmatter to do with where you

(39:50):
live, maybe even kind of locallyimmigration wise or something
along those lines. You may begin setting intentions
around moving home. Maybe it's purchasing property,
maybe it's redecorating, maybe it's creating stronger
boundaries with family. Or it could be committing to
routines that make your home feel the way you want it to

(40:10):
feel. However that is the emphasis
lies on you designing a space where you feel truly safe,
supported and centered. And it should be incredibly
different to anything home wise that you've experienced in the
past six months. As the week progresses, everyday
life becomes more unpredictable.Maybe somebody stops by at the

(40:32):
most inconvenient of times, people turning up unannounced,
maybe some building work going on in your area and it goes on
until late in the day and it's kind of obstructive.
Or maybe a traffic Rd. closure that disrupts your routines and
your routes. It might be a delivery that goes
missing, technology that fails, just something that forces you

(40:56):
to troubleshoot at short notice,but the disruptions just push
you to be more assertive, to rethink your priorities and to
protect your headspace from a life and world of constant small
scale interruptions. By the week's end, you realise
that peace doesn't come from trying to enforce rigid order,
but from instead learning how toadapt swiftly and manage your

(41:19):
environment consciously rather than reactively.
When you stop trying to contain the chaos and you instead
strengthen your own internal centre, then you find yourself
naturally ready for bigger opportunities, surprising
conversations and life upgrades.Exactly where you are for cancer

(41:42):
Sun and cancer rising. Something connected to your
income, your savings or your confidence resurfaces this week.
And it's not necessarily a crisis.
It's just some kind of situationthat serves as a reminder of
something that you skipped maybeearlier in the year.
Or maybe it's a reminder of a potential that you have, but

(42:09):
you're not reaching because you shelved a situation in favour of
dealing with everything else life has to offer first.
Maybe so many other priorities are preventing you from reaching
this point or doing this thing that would change your entire
life. Maybe you've avoided opening a
bank letter. Maybe you've avoided renewing a

(42:31):
subscription. Maybe you're not increasing your
prices as you should. Maybe you haven't finished an
application for a grant or maybea new role because you think
that the timing isn't quite perfect.
Perhaps money is leaking out on things like homeware or
children's expenses if you have them, or spending on emotional

(42:52):
comforts while you hesitate on investing in a bigger decision.
Maybe you need to buy new tools for your business and you've
kept putting it off. You're being nudged to stop
obsessing over making everythingideal and instead just accept
that progress happens when you move forward despite
imperfections. So staying stuck over one

(43:15):
annoying detail, like waiting for the perfect flooring to be
fixed before you style the rest of A room.
Maybe not launching a service until every little graphic
detail is perfect. Maybe not launching a business
at all because you haven't quitegot the name or progressing at
all because things just don't feel like they're working in

(43:38):
order. Then this could actually be
costing you more than taking imperfect action would.
Some quiet determination pushes you to problem solve where you
have been hesitating. And there might be some matters
crop up this week about family responsibilities, housemates,
emotional loops that are draining your resources as well.

(44:01):
And instead of trying to rehearse the perfect
conversation to have with someone, you know when you go
through what you're going to sayin your head.
Or instead of waiting for the right time to make a move and
have the conversation, start taking tangible steps.
And this includes cancelling wasteful subscriptions, ordering
organizational boxes, getting valuations on things, or

(44:25):
researching jobs, New jobs even,because this is part of
developing your wider story. The sun enters Virgo this week,
followed by a new moon in the same sign.
Your attention shifts towards communication, paperwork,
organization, and a little bit of social media maybe.

(44:46):
Or technology. This begins a six month cycle of
sharpening your operations in one or more of those areas.
So if it's relevant then go ahead and sign up for a training
course. Chase up paperwork.
Whether it's a passport renewal or something similar.
Buy a new laptop so you can workmore efficiently.

(45:07):
Download the software. Start regularly posting content.
Learn to share your voice more consistently.
Towards the end of the week, news comes to you that
momentarily shakes your sense ofstability, and it might just
simply be a sudden cost. But equally fast, clever
solutions emerge. If you stay calm and don't get

(45:30):
thrown off, you'll be able to negotiate payment terms.
You'll be able to sell items youdon't need.
You'll be able to attract the abundance needed to cover the
shock. And by the week's close, you
learn that building real security isn't about waiting for
things to be perfect or perfectly under control.

(45:51):
It's about you staying adaptable, decisive, and
trusting your ability to stabilize while change happens.
This is a nudge for you to move a little bit slower, and life
will meet you with surprising new beneficial opportunities for
Leo's Sun and Leo rising. A thought or decision that

(46:14):
you've been wrestling around with before returns this week,
and maybe it's an opinion that you held back on, a message you
wanted to send but never sent, or a topic that once you got
into you for some reason suddenly paused.
There's an urge to express yourself growing stronger now,

(46:36):
and it pushes you to clarify what you really believe.
And it's asking you to courageously use your voice.
Early on in the week, your mind becomes unusually sharp and
persuasive so you can reopen A stalled conversation, you can
edit projects that you abandoned, or you just speak up
in situations you felt weren't worth the confrontation at the

(46:57):
time. As we do enter Virgo season this
week, and there is also a new moon forming in Virgo 2, your
attention pivots towards resources, income, and self
worth. This signals the start of a six
month cycle around how you earn,spend and value yourself.
You may feel prompted to investigate new ways of making
money, to revisit past pricing to hold firmer financial

(47:23):
boundaries, or decide that it's time to finally monetize a skill
that you were previously just dismissing as a hobby.
You might notice yourself questioning subscriptions,
renegotiating rates or being offered unexpected side work.
And this is just designed to help you re anchor what you
truly believe you are worth. The big surprise this week is

(47:44):
that your career or reputation may experience a shake up,
sudden offers or a cancellation even, or having a clash with an
authority figure. Or maybe unpredictable
professional news pushes you to behave more boldly because you
have to. This is so important.
If you've been feeling creatively boxed in, you may be

(48:07):
asked to step into a more publicrole and this might happen at
very short notice. Or you are dragged into sharing
some expertise that you weren't planning to really share yet,
and by the week's close, your authenticity wins out over any
kind of appearance in all areas of life.

(48:27):
And you drop outdated roles and you speak your truth even when
it's uncomfortable. And then money flows more
clearly, career paths straightenout, and your external life
realigns with strength, purpose and power that you feel
internally. And it's not this fixed image
that you thought you had to project.
You become different in displaying who you are.

(48:52):
For Virgo Sun and Virgo rising this week, an unfinished task
resurfaces. It's something private, maybe
something tedious that you've left unresolved.
It might just be something as simple as a medical check up
that you never booked, a tax return matter that you keep
postponing an insurance claim, apayment plan that you've fallen
behind on, or just clutter. Some kind of clutter or

(49:17):
something hidden in a drawer or a folder that you've been
avoiding, and you finally feel ready to schedule that
appointment, or to close a bank account, or to chase a
reimbursement, or to finish a digital online course that you
paid for and never got round to doing.
This is clearing out some kind of baggage, and this could
include emotional baggage like journals or old emails that

(49:38):
quietly stress your system. The sun does move into your sign
this week. This is the perfect time for a
solar return reading. A solar return reading is a
chart that's created just for your birthday.
So it's your birthday this year of 2025.
And the chart that that forms tells a story about the whole

(49:58):
next 12 months of your experience, including specific
time frames of certain events that you can expect.
And check the readings menu in the show notes to book that
reading. But the Sun in Virgo and the New
Moon in Virgo 2 is your personal, energetic new year.
You enter a new six month cycle reinvention to do with how you

(50:20):
present yourself, to do with your confidence and your
identity. And so motivation rises for you
to tend to your appearance or totend to your brand.
This is great for updating your wardrobe, getting a haircut,
refreshing your online BIOS, newheadshots, even choosing
healthier food and fitness routines, saying yes to

(50:41):
invitations that increase your visibility, and you might even
be asked to lead or host an event to be interviewed.
Or you'll get noticed by someoneinfluential, and this reflects
the surge forward into a new phase of life.
It's a restlessness that grows. So some trips may get get

(51:04):
delayed and some paperwork needsrevising.
Or some sudden legal or educational deadline appears and
this just pulls you to step outside your usual 9 to 5 or
whatever kind of repeating schedule you've got going on.
And by the end of the week, you realize that procrastinating on
your evolution is no longer an option, and discomfort is just a

(51:28):
sign that you're outgrowing yourold skin that you're shedding.
You'll be clearing debts, clearing emotional residue, and
this frees up the mental bandwidth you need to transform.
This week is truly a pivotal turning point where you either
steer your reinvention consciously or life just keeps
nudging and poking at you until you claim the role that you were

(51:50):
meant to embody. Libra Sun and Libra Rising.
A social or group commitment youonce brushed aside resurfaces at
the start of the week. Maybe a committee task that you
never followed through on a clubor a network that you stopped
attending. A friendship project like a

(52:11):
group trip, a charity event, or a joint business venture.
Something that you quietly backed away from, and suddenly
you're stepping up to fix what others ignored.
You're the one taking the reins,scheduling the Zoom calls,
sorting payments, confirming logistics, or just smoothing out
drama between members. And while the progress is made,
you may feel torn between keeping the peace and speaking

(52:33):
up more firmly than usual, just to make sure things stay on
track. With the Sun entering Virgo
season and also the new Moon in Virgo 2, your attention pivots
towards rest and healing. You need to be tying up loose
ends behind the scenes, and thislaunches you into a six month
cycle that's focused on your inner world, your spiritual

(52:54):
well-being, and recovery from some maybe energetic or even
emotional burnout that you've been going through for the past
six months, especially if that'sbeen to do with taking care of
family. Your mood grows more
introspective. You need some more time for
yourself. Much less interested in
socializing, much more drawn to journaling and therapy and lots

(53:15):
and lots of naps. Planning a retreat or just
ending something that's run its course?
Make sure you delete old messages and you distance from
people who are silently draining.
And don't be scared to turn downinvites so that you can instead
recharge without feeling guilty towards the week's end.

(53:36):
Matters involving shared resources, borrowing, lending,
inheritances, trust agreements, anything like that may wobble
unexpectedly. Maybe someone pulls out of a
financial commitment. Maybe someone asks to borrow
money, and maybe someone doesn'tpay back money that they
promised to pay back. Some kind of repayment situation

(53:57):
fails to appear, or joint bills become confusing.
You may need to stand your ground alone.
You may need to refuse advice. You may need to refuse giving
help. This is so that you can move
forward on your own terms, financially and emotionally.
By the week's close, you discover a quieter strength in
being self reliant. It's not about withdrawing

(54:19):
completely, but about knowing where external support ends and
personal responsibility begins. What feels uncertain is actually
initiating a private rebirth foryou, transforming who you trust,
how you rest, and what kind of relationships you carry with
you. For Scorpio, an old work

(54:44):
responsibility or a professionalproject that you left unfinished
returns to your desk this week. Maybe a proposal you drafted but
never submitted, A collaborationthat lost momentum, a pitch you
never sent. Or maybe an overdue admin task,
like updating your credentials or chasing client paperwork.

(55:08):
You find yourself quietly catching up on back end tasks
and closing loops and writing reports and refreshing your
portfolio and your website or following up on emails that
you've previously deliberately avoided.
And some tunnel vision helps youstay productive.
It allows you to focus on results, not distractions.

(55:29):
As the Sun moves into Virgo and a New moon lands in Virgo 2 this
week, your ambitions reorient towards networks, collaborations
and the bigger vision that you have in your mind.
And this signals the start of a six month cycle tied to your
place within the communities you're part of and also tied to

(55:53):
your more longer term goals. Midweek, you start reassessing
who is truly aligned with your future.
This is in your friendships and your other communities, and some
invitations to join certain committees or organizations or
mastermind groups or just friendship groups could surface.
Or, conversely, you start feeling detached from the

(56:15):
circles that you have been loyalto for years.
If you are asked to mentor someone, consider that
seriously. Or you may be asked to lead a
group or join a professional membership, and part of you may
question whether or not that's right for you.
Toward the end of the week, a surprising development involving

(56:37):
a business partner and manager or your romantic partner happens
to throw you off course. So a boss could unexpectedly
resign or change their expectations.
Or a professional contact might become erratic.
Or you receive a sudden offer that you're not sure you want to
take. Likewise, a long standing
agreement or contract may begin to feel kind of restricting or

(57:03):
chafing and it and it awakens a restless desire for you to break
free from outdated roles. By the week it's close, it
becomes very clear that your ability to operate
independently, to trust your owninstincts, your momentum, your
timing is exactly what gives youthe courage to take bigger leaps
going forward. Any separations, any surprises,
any shake UPS. This week isn't derailing you,

(57:25):
it's quietly guiding you towardspeople, places and futures that
reflect your potential at a bigger level.
Sagittarius Sun and Sagittarius rising.
A decision involving travel or study or writing or publishing,

(57:45):
or maybe just your overall life direction comes back around
early this week. Not as a source of pressure, but
to just remind you that there's some unfinished business going
on. So you might need to re evaluate
A postponed move. You might need to revive an
application for a course or a visa.
You might need to get your passport up to date.

(58:08):
You might want to revisit plans for launching A blog or a
podcast. Or rethink a stance on something
you were once very passionate about but you didn't follow up
because of some personal doubt. Friends and or colleagues could
encourage you to pick an idea back up through a compliment
when they say some kind of positive observation of

(58:32):
something that you do very well.And this pushes you to consider
why you want the things that youwant and whether you're ready to
see things through that you are naturally good at.
And this time around, it's good to go ahead.
Even if things aren't fully polished, you might receive some
compliments that compel you to move with conviction rather than

(58:55):
wait. As the Sun shifts into Virgo,
your attention moves towards success and visibility and your
long term professional life. It's a very meaningful time for
your ambitions. And the New Moon, also in Virgo,
which is at the top of your chart, marks a strategic turning
point in your career, your status or a leadership role.

(59:20):
So go ahead and start drafting anew business plan.
Apply for a promotion, map out aspecific product launch, accept
a new title, or set intentions about stepping into more
responsibility and authority, even if it scares you.
This is a six month runway for redesigning how you show up in
the world, asking you to be intentional about what you want

(59:43):
your name to be associated with.Toward the end of the week,
disruptions hit your daily routines.
This could be a change in staff at work, an unexpected shift
pattern request more shifts or less less shifts even.
It could be illness, tech malfunction, travel hiccups,
just something that throws off your timing.

(01:00:04):
Maybe your morning commute gets complicated, maybe computer
systems lag, paperwork delays. Something just holds things up.
And instead of fighting the chaos as there's a chance to
redefine how you will still continue to deliver under
pressure without losing sight ofyour bigger intentions.
You'll be reminded that real success comes from learning to

(01:00:24):
grow through disorder and not waiting for everything to be
perfect. So the more you anchor into a
long term vision rather than clinging to the validity of
short term plans, then the more life will keep opening doors for
you, even if they initially appear slightly off course.

(01:00:46):
Capricorn Sun and Capricorn rising and unfinished financial,
emotional or contractual matter returns to the front of your
mind early this week. This is something shared with
another person. Maybe it's unpaid invoices, a
joint bank account, some tax matter backlogs, inheritance

(01:01:06):
discussions. Maybe it's intimacy dynamics.
Or it could be a loan that you took, or a loan that you gave.
Maybe someone still owes you money, but this time you feel
less inclined to go the avoidance route and more
determined to take control. So this includes booking
meetings, emailing lawyers and accountants, renegotiating

(01:01:31):
repayment terms or having some really frank conversations about
responsibilities. The sun moves into Virgo and
your thoughts turn towards the future expansion opportunity and
building something long range. Like a long range game plan that
stretches you intellectually, maybe even geographically.

(01:01:52):
And the critical new moon in Virgo.
Also, it opens a six month cycleinviting you to grow through
education, legal matters, publishing, travel, or exposure
to bigger ideas. So maybe you begin researching
MBA programs or you're applying for visas.
Maybe you're applying for licenses for something

(01:02:12):
absolutely huge. Maybe you're planning a move
abroad, returning to university,launching some tech based or
online based thing. Maybe you're setting intentions
around using your wisdom on a larger, more international or
global stage instead of playing it small and safe.
Any instability that involves risk, romance or creative

(01:02:36):
ventures forces you to assess the true cost of something.
So whether you're pouring too much money into a project, or
whether you're distracting yourself with chaos in your
dating life, maybe scrambling over childcare costs or losing
savings to something that once was fun but no longer feels so
good. And maybe this is the week that

(01:02:58):
an investor could back out, or acollaborator becomes unreliable,
or a matter of the heart makes you question whether your long
term plan lines up with your current partners or your current
lifestyle. And by the week's end you
realise growth isn't about doubling down on gambles.
It's about choosing people, choosing places, and choosing

(01:03:20):
the investments that truly support the future you want to
build. When you anchor yourself into
the more smarter foundations andaccept strategic pivots, and you
refuse to be pressured into decisions, then life opens up
pathways that feel much more sustainable.
Aquarius Sun and Aquarius rising.

(01:03:42):
Earlier in the week, you find yourself returning to an old
conversation with a partner, a collaborator, or a client.
And this is renegotiating the terms of a contract.
It's revisiting a travel plan that's been paused.
It's discussing the future of a joint project or finally just
responding to a message that you've been sat on because it

(01:04:02):
felt awkward to respond to. This time, you're thinking it's
clearer, your boundaries are firmer and you're better
equipped to propose concrete solutions.
Whether that means suggesting changes to a shared calendar or
updating payment structures, fixing a logistical error, or
getting the go ahead to move forward after a period of

(01:04:22):
uncertainty. When the Sun shifts into Virgo,
this is your eighth Solar or Natal house, and the New Moon is
happening in Virgo 2. This turns your attention
towards shared finances, emotional atan comments and
deeper commitments. It marks the beginning of a six
month cycle of redefining who gets access to your energy.

(01:04:43):
You may be prompted to review bank loans or to separate
financial accounts, to chase up financial paperwork or to set
firmer intimacy boundaries. Or maybe you decide what level
of vulnerability and involvementyou're comfortable sharing with
someone else. As the week progresses,
disruptions may arise within your home or family life, so

(01:05:05):
someone could declare that they're moving out, or a partner
wants more independence. Or maybe there's parents in the
mix that need your help, or a home repair crops up without
warning. This situation arrives
unexpectedly, and it leaves you uncertain of whether your
foundations are even stable or makes you ask if you've been
ignoring signs that something needed to shift for a while.

(01:05:30):
By the week's end, you realize that it's time to establish
stronger boundaries to reclaim control.
Rather than allowing emotional or financial ties to keep you
stuck, you are now being guided to consciously choose
partnerships that support your growth, even if some dynamics
become messy or things are unpredictable.
This moment is about not so muchholding everything together,

(01:05:54):
it's more about structuring yourlife in a way that empowers you
long term, which frees you to invest only where it truly feels
reciprocal. For Pisces Sun and Pisces
Rising, you re encounter a work or health related issue early in
the week, something that you have been intending to tweak in
your day-to-day life but you drifted away from.

(01:06:18):
So it could be anything from a budgeting spreadsheet that you
stopped updating, an unclaimed reimbursement or invoice, a meal
plan or a gym routine that you abandoned.
Maybe physical therapy exercise that you stopped doing, or a
management system that you've been meaning to implement but
never fully did. And something happens so you're

(01:06:39):
pushed to clean things up. That means tightening finances,
trimming subscriptions, chasing payments, scheduling medical
appointments, or finally streamlining a project so it
functions without chaos. The Sun enters your opposite
sign this week, Virgo, which is your 7th Solar or Natal house,
and the new Moon is landing in that sign, too.

(01:07:01):
This lights up relationships, and it marks the beginning of a
six month cycle around all of your partnerships, both personal
and professional. And you may feel ready to set
clearer intentions about the kinds of allies and clients and
collaborators or even romantic dynamics that you want moving
forward. Maybe it's time that you decide
you need a coach. You need a business partner, a

(01:07:24):
therapist, a mentor or higher caliber clients, or more
balanced distribution of effort and support in your close
relationships. Towards the end of the week, a
sudden jolt hits your daily environment.
So a Co worker may drop the ball.
A family member may cause unexpected drama, a delivery
gets delayed, or an impulsive decision by someone around you

(01:07:47):
impacts your flow. You may receive some rushed
demands through the form of emails or some last minute
schedule changes, or you encounter traffic and technology
glitches that just throw off your rhythm.
If there is someone at work cutting corners or pursuing
their own agenda without consulting the rest of the team,
then this could frustrate you and it forces you to speak up

(01:08:09):
even if you normally wouldn't. And by the week's close, you
start recognizing that your physical and emotional
well-being are deeply connected to your routines and also to the
people you surround yourself with.
This isn't about ticking boxes, it's about choosing specific
environments where you can function with ease rather than
scramble around in chaos. Set firmer boundaries, ask for

(01:08:33):
more support, step away from draining connections, or
reorganize your habits. And that sets up your body, mind
and relationships. An entire trajectory for
healthier long term growth.
