About the Virgo horoscope

Counting from Virgo, Libra is the 2nd house of money, Sagittarius the 4th house of home, Capricorn the 5th house of pleasure and romance, Pisces the 7th house of partnership and Gemini the 10th house of career. Aquarius is your 6th house of routines and daily work, a big one for a sign known for its lists, so a Moon in Aquarius often brings chores and schedules to the front.

Mercury rules Virgo, and classical astrology rates Mercury as especially strong in this sign. Its aspects tend to show up in planning, talks and details. During Mercury's retrogrades, about three a year, Virgo is often advised to fix, edit and finish rather than begin something new.

The mutable signs Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces square or oppose your Sun, so slow planets passing through them tend to get noted in the Virgo reading. The Sun moves through Virgo from around August 23 to September 22.
