OUTLOOK 2026

Virgo

23rd August - 22nd September

‘Abundantly Clear’

 

The overshadowing influence of Saturn-Naptune in Aries in the part of your solar chart where your security and finance merges with that of others is now fading as Saturn moves on quickly, and strengthens what needs to be sustained. Or blocks the things which are impeding or causing turbulence. And though some of this is not within your direct control, a lot of it may need your sanction. Especially as Uranus has now entered Gemini, to be followed by Mercury in the middle of May, calling up choices for widening or diversification which will require your input or collaboration. If others close are abnegating responsibility, or swerving issues, then the entrance of Jupiter into Leo in July is backed by Mercury retrograding in Cancer, bringing the impasse or stumbling blocks of the second week of June to a head, or a resolution by the start of August. Jupiter/Leo for you should highlight the plus side of staying behind the scenes, or having a lower profile, and accepting the support on offer as the summer progresses. It has a momentum of its own. This kind of leverage may not have anything to do with you directly, but might be what you have earned by past effort. Consolidation of resources or amalgamation of some kind is on the cards, and whether this is commercially, personally or in terms of method and connection, it relieves the stress of spreading yourself too thinly or trying to juggle too many plates at once. Stand back and let others do the heavy lifting. Unless you think, as Virgo often does, that they can not gain the results the way you can.

 

‘Experiencing the Flow’

 

The Mercury retrograde motion in Cancer in July is a mercifully short one. The 13th and 14th of the month sees the Moon passing briefly over Mercury to emphasis the need for care and attention - or perhaps more personal connection - with people who are maybe not vital to survival but integral to your more enjoyable pursuits in some way. It is a time to take a fresh look at those people and see them as they really are, or do not always show themselves. Jupiter into Leo in July for the following twelve months has an accent on generosity, and also on matters of the heart. Nostalgia may be the theme, or things which evoke sentiment where it is not normally appropriate or recognised. Indulge it a little; a lot of life revolves around emotional decisions, and the most unlikely people make choices at that period which are based on just that. Some of these are influential to you in ways which reach far into the future, sparked by seeds sown at certain times and left to sprout. By the end of July Saturn has slowed to retrograde in Aries. This for you eases any tension with others to whom you are closely bound, and marks a boundary between your immediate priorities and those of other people’s. Between then and the middle of December you can wait to see how the effects of recent agreements or stipulations pan out. But what is proposed or agreed in mid July to mid August requires a strong acknowledgement by all parties. Plus a liberal dose of leeway - or even an overlooking of mistakes - which can be rectified in late Autumn if necessary. A helpful way to see it is as a period of experimentation.
