Virgo Horoscope for July 2016

This is a time for new beginnings, Virgo. You are going all out for forging a life path that truly matches all that you hold inside, and though the effort at times seems daunting, you are becoming more familiar with the concept that you must keep on keeping on, no matter what attempts to intervene or keep you from fulfilling this sense of mission. You suddenly have tons of energy at your disposal for exploring and seeing in new ways the world around you. This is as you investigate issues of visionary intimacy with another, a process that ultimately rests on finding that within yourself. You are making adjustments in the wake of disillusionment, perhaps the unraveling of self-deception. Practicalities seem to be holding you back from the fullest expression of relationship bliss and surrender, but then again, practicality can also be over-rated.

As the month begins, you are feeling the shift in the energy of the past few days, which chiefly featured the entrance of your ruler, Mercury, into the sign of Cancer, corresponding to the sector of your solar chart denoting prospective plans. This symbolism traditionally includes wishes and hopes, group participation and friendship. You also find the Moon newly entered into your career sector, and the station of Mars to direct motion in your communications sector. These factors could loom large in importance as well for you this first week and weekend of the month, especially when the New Moon of July 4th lands in this same area of your chart. In terms of the big picture, this implies that in a time of changing worldview, your native curiosity is overtaking you to see where your next phase is actually headed and where you most deeply intend to place the major dose of your energy.

As you explore a new sense of your pathway forward, and as the month continues to unwind, you will come to take more seriously the key relationships in your life and how to make them better work for you. You are reaching for greater alignment with your own beliefs and your new-found understanding of yourself at the deeper levels of your being. You are seeking an amalgam of fantasy and practicality that honors important partners without falling into traps of either escapist over-idealization or excessive criticism. The working compromise is no doubt difficult to achieve, although you might find discovering becomes a necessity.
