VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING

Get ready, Virgos, for exciting developments in the professional sphere in 2024

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

It’s only the beginning! That’s the adage for love and relationships this year for Virgos. With a new two-year cycle kicking off on September 18, you’re about to embark on a period of immense growth, learning and excitement in your most intimate relationships.

Before the action kicks off, the big, long-term questions that have been hovering over your love life will persist: “What kind of relationship do I want? What kind of person do I want as a partner? What kind of life do I want to build?” When tricky situations arise, try to zoom out and reframe them as an opportunity for clarification. You’ll get your chance around August 20, and once again around Christmas time, when Jupiter and Saturn force you to make a decision one way or another.

FAMILY AND HOME

As Jupiter shifts into Gemini and opposes the part of your chart ruling home life, finding the time and space to prioritise your nearest and dearest may be a little difficult this year. With things taking off in your career sector, your greatest challenge could be holding the line and maintaining firm boundaries. You can’t be everything to everyone, and that’s OK.

The final Mercury retrograde of the year (November 26 to December 16) also looks like it could be a little tricky for family politics. With both Saturn and Jupiter getting in on the shenanigans, there’s a sense that loose lips could lead to silly season blow-ups. Handle with care!

CAREER AND MONEY

The most exciting news this year for Virgos is the veritable glitter bomb poised to go off in your professional life. Golden opportunities, learning secondments, travel or just a good old-fashioned pay rise could all be on the cards after Jupiter moves into Gemini on May 26. Expect the pace to pick up and the opportunities to come flooding in as the planet ruling good times and a “yes you can” mindset blazes through your work life. A reality check (around August 20 and again around Christmas time) could force you to do a little readjustment – especially if long hours are starting to take a toll on your relationships. Be prepared to fine-tune the balance, and repeat to yourself: “I have faith this is a temporary setback.”

HEALTH AND WELLBEING

There’s a lofty optimism around your place in the world, especially the first five months of the year as Jupiter completes its transit through Taurus. If you’ve ever flirted with the idea of yoga-teacher training, studying nutrition or volunteering OS, the period between April 7 and May 13 looks especially dazzling. Take the leap.

Once Pluto moves into Aquarius for good (around November 20), you’ll begin a long-term cycle highlighting your relationship to productivity. Get the jump on any tough love by taking a proactive approach to how you manage your time. Facing your fear of not doing enough will be an ongoing process. Make it less difficult by leaning in rather than rallying against it.
