Virgo Horoscope for July 2013

This is an interesting month for you, Virgo, but not one for making large-scale investments in a wavering series of targets. Since your ruler, Mercury, is retrograde all month long, in your sector of friendship, societal connection, and future plans, you are likely to be tempted to change course with life direction and social groups that you favor not once, but several times. You are in the midst of deep reflection, that's for sure. As you spend time thinking over and then again re-thinking all that you do to connect up with where you feel your life heading, you ultimately involve yourself in greater social commitment. Although not good for new decisions, this is nevertheless an excellent period for depth research into these and other, more personal, issues.

As the month begins, you are feeling lucky and also somewhat mystified both with love and in your life in general. You also might feel as though you can actually address whatever has been bothering you recently regarding partnership concerns and over-idealizations. It is not that you see nothing but blue skies ahead, but rather that you feel an increased optimism that you can somehow manage to sort things out eventually, even though that might in fact be a tall order that will take many weeks to fill. You are possessed with a fierce determination to get to the bottom of whatever seems to be bothering you, moving in on them from the perspective of the innermost portions of your psyche.

The timing is right to be taking your time. Your ruler, Mercury, is retrograde for most of this month, and beyond when you allow for the two weeks of the retrograde shadow, when Mercury is making up its lost zodiacal longitude, and therefore still shaky. With that in mind, this is an excellent period to relax and to look within, rather than to continue straining for answers amidst the distractions of the competitive rat race that we call 21st century civilization. Since Mercury is retrograding through your sector of group affiliations, friendships and networking circles, and as well future plans, you are likely mulling over and refining your understanding of these important areas of your life. The July 8th New Moon also takes place in this same sector, and gives you fresh energy for your purpose, which is essentially to reinvent yourself and your societal connection in light of newfound and exciting knowledge that corresponds to the exploration of your inner world.

Since Uranus remains prominent in your intimacy sector, which also represents inner exploration and personal evolution, insights are coming to you from interior realms both fast and furious, while you also might conceivably be undergoing some unexpected ups and downs in your connections with important others. Meanwhile, since Pluto is riding high in your sector of creativity and self-expression, these areas plus your self-concept are undergoing radical transformation, as they have all year. The Pluto effects accelerate again in the fall, with the drawing closer of the next hit of the Uranus-Pluto square, coming up to exact on November 1st.

All in all, this month represents an excellent time to regroup and to vision new possibilities for yourself into being. It is perhaps more important than usual to exercise caution in adopting new pathways forward, as the retrograde will continue to provide new perspectives that take Spirit ever more fully into account as the month wears on. In August, and heading toward the fall, you will find further and even more significant changes that await you.
