2009 Horoscope Virgo

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) – 0 to 10 degrees Virgo: 

2009: Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2009 Overview. In 2009, dear Virgo, Jupiter is blessing your work and health sector, and you’re bound to experience more satisfaction from your job, improved working conditions, and better health. Although work can be hectic at times, you enjoy taking care of all the details. If you have been trying to land a dream job, it’s within reach in 2009. Virgos born early in the sign (August 23-28) are enjoying more credibility this year. Intense, fateful, and deep love affairs can develop for these early Virgos, or strengthening of current love ties. Virgos born September 8-22 are experiencing big changes this year. Increased responsibilities are likely. You could be taking yourself more seriously, and feeling a lot of pressure. Your worst enemy in 2009 is the tendency to be self-critical. Keep your sense of humor! Pressures and responsibilities notwithstanding, love, romance, fun, and hobbies are at the front of your mind in 2009. While romantic relationships of a more casual nature tend to fare well this year, unstable energy is with you for more committed relationships. Many of you are feeling strong urges to break free from your routine and to express yourselves in a freer manner. Conditions and responsibilities that you have previously tolerated or even enjoyed are now seen as overwhelming and restrictive. Saturn, the taskmaster, leaves your sign in October, which may be seen as a relief for many of you. A new cycle of buckling down with personal finances then begins. Career matters are exciting and dynamic from July 12-August 15.

2009 Details. Jupiter is  moving through your solar sixth house this year. As a result, you are likely to see benefits and improvements in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. Your ability to handle the details required to do a good job is significantly enhanced this year, and others increasingly become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through co-workers or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well. You are more successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Others will derive more enjoyment from a current one. Work tends to be very available to you. Health is likely to prosper this year, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth. Some people get a new pet during this cycle. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth, from January 5 through June 14, and then from October 14 through December.

Saturn continues to transit your first house until the end of October. Your physical body and mannerisms are a focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, it may be a time when you feel your age, or it is a time when you see your body more clearly. This is an excellent time for beginning health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly—not only what you want to see. Your outlook on life has been a little more serious and responsible. In the past while, you might have reached out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to boost your confidence. When these attempts failed, you may have felt temporarily let down and discouraged. Rest assured that Saturn will re-work these feelings, with your help of course, until you reach a point where you have a stronger sense of self. This is a year in which you can get to that point. This transit acts to transform your self-confidence in such a way that you question the source of your confidence to date, and discover a more solid base for pulling up inner strength. Saturn here acts to rip away the superficial. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be tolerated. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of your own limitations, and your capabilities as well. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!

Saturn begins to transit your solar second house from November forward for those of you born August 23-27, urging you to take stock of your effectiveness, self-worth, and finances. This stage of your life may be marked by hard work. Financial success may not be remarkable, yet it is generally steady, if slow to come by. This transit has traditionally been associated with financial loss, but in truth, it is more about our perceptions—you are apt to review how effective you have been on a financial level to date, and find some dissatisfaction with your progress. In fact, gains may be slow, but sudden reversals are not common with this transit. The purpose of this transit is for you to make the connection between your own feelings of self-worth and what you produce in the real world/get back from the real world. In recent years, you may have had some feelings of being unsupported (you may have been thinking, “I work so hard, and what do I get for all this hard work?”), but as the transit moves forward in 2010, you learn to look inside of yourself with a newfound clarity and realism and ideally draw up considerable strength from within. You work on your effectiveness in the world, and see exactly what has been holding you back from achieving the results you want. The challenge here is to capture the newly found and defined self-confidence you gained while Saturn was in Virgo, and now apply it in the real world. 

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your sixth house three times this year–May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your fourth house and the ruler of your seventh house aligned,  this year your sense of security is strongly reinforced by close partnerships. You may find that you are relied upon for emotional support from a partner. Existing partnerships may be especially nurturing, quiet, and emotional this year. In 2009, many Virgos will experience increased faith in their jobs and work routines. Some will land their dream jobs, or find themselves working from home and/or with a partner.

Uranus continues to work its way through your solar seventh house. Close relationships may have received a shake-down in recent years, and you may have felt that it’s been hard to truly rely on a partner. Lifeless or outworn relationships may have been especially hard to bear for you. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. This year, more changes in your view of partnerships are in store, but these matters are less pressing than they were in previous years. Neptune continues to move through your sector of work and health as it has been for the last few years. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health as well. Some confusion on the job may have been part of the picture, or your job may have steered towards compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Although Virgos are known for their ability to stick to schedules, Neptune’s presence here has made it more challenging to do so. Saturn in your first house this year will help to keep you more organized.

For Virgos born August 23-26 and those with a Virgo Ascendant of 0-3 degrees, Pluto trines your Sun from the fifth house in 2009, and you are bound to have an uplifting, transforming year. You could take up some form of physical program that completely changes the way you feel about yourself. The things that give you joy and positive feedback figure prominently this year, and you feel renewed and regenerated. You also feel particularly strong and personally powerful. There is no such thing as playing the victim this year–you’re the victor and you feel it. You enjoy an increased ability to concentrate and focus on what really matters to you. Living authentically is what this year is all about.

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your solar sixth house. In the first half of 2009, issues of work and service, as well as health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), come into focus. You are called upon to deal with the the details and practicalities of everyday life, to become more organized, and to take charge of your routines. It’s time to formulate some clear goals and plans. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Believing in a grand plan is fine, but practical concerns need to be dealt with as well. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life.  February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar twelfth house, and you may recognize an overwhelming need for rest and spiritual renewal. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down time–otherwise, you simply don’t feel whole.

July’s Solar and Lunar Eclipses fall in your eleventh and fifth houses respectively. In the second half of the year, you will be learning about letting go of your attachment to the drama of romance and personal relationships, as well as your willfulness. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships. A romantic affair may be tested. If love is true, there’s nothing to fear. The demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. Also possible, your children may be going through their own changes and “stages”, and need more attention now.

The August Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar sixth house, and there could be changes necessary in your job or health routines. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you know you have to do in order to feel more balanced.

Your strongest financial periods in 2009 occur from September 22-October 3 and October 14-23. However, the first period is better for review of financial matters and budgeting than for making purchases.

Saturn returns to conjunct your Sun until June 2009. This Saturn conjunction, which often elicits groans and moans, has more productive and positive potentials than you might think. You are determined to make adjustments in your life style, your work, your home, and other areas of life. Your sense of timing and balance is superb now, and your efficiency is improved ten times over. Cleaning out closets, re-organizing the environment in which you live and work, and other such activities come to the fore. Others may turn to you for advice or recognize your competency and experience in a particular area of life. Additional training is a possibility now. Anything that requires focus and commitment benefits. Your efforts now are very constructive, and you are not inclined to want to leave any loose ends untied. You are likely to derive much satisfaction from taking care of practical concerns in your life. This is a time of long-range planning that will bring you benefits down the road. Get your affairs in order, and invest in yourself!

Authority figures or elders may be particularly helpful now, and you are more willing to humble yourself and listen to what they have to say. In fact, this can be one of the keys to your success this year and the next! Confronting your fears is easier now. Potential romantic partners tend to see you in a favorable light as well, and are attracted to your ability to tend to practical matters while also keeping your eye on the future.

Uranus continues to work its way through your solar seventh house. Close relationships may have received a shake-down recently, and you may have felt that it’s been hard to truly rely on a partner. Lifeless or outworn relationships may have been especially hard to bear for you. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this sector of your chart. This year, more changes in your view of partnerships are in store, but they are less dramatic as they were last year.

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your solar fifth house. In the first half of 2009, the need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You will learn to let go of a fear of taking risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. You are called upon to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. This eclipse is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence. February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar twelfth house, and you may recognize an overwhelming need for rest and spiritual renewal.

Virgo (Born September 13 to 23) – 20 to 30 degrees Virgo:

2009: Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2009 Overview. In 2009, dear Virgo, Jupiter is blessing your work and health sector, and you’re bound to experience more satisfaction from your job, improved working conditions, and better health. Although work can be hectic at times, you enjoy taking care of all the details. If you have been trying to land a dream job, it’s within reach in 2009.

Career matters are exciting and dynamic from July 12-August 15.

2009 Details. Jupiter is  moving through your solar sixth house from April. As a result, you are likely to see benefits and improvements in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. Your ability to handle the details required to do a good job is significantly enhanced this year, and others increasingly become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through co-workers or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth, from April 5-June 14, and then from November 24 through December.

Saturn began to transit your first house from November 2008 and continues to do so this year. Your physical body and mannerisms are a focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, it may be a time when you feel your age, or it is a time when you see your body more clearly. This is an excellent time for beginning health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly—not only what you want to see. Your outlook on life has been a little more serious and responsible. In the past while, you might have reached out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to boost your confidence.

The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of your own limitations, and your capabilities as well. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!

This Saturn conjunction, which ends in 2009 at the end of October, often elicits groans and moans, but has more productive and positive potentials than you might think. You are determined to make adjustments in your life style, your work, your home, and other areas of life. Your sense of timing and balance is superb now, and your efficiency is improved ten times over.

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your sixth house three times this year–May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your fourth house and the ruler of your seventh house aligned,  this year your sense of security is strongly reinforced by close partnerships. You may find that you are relied upon for emotional support from a partner. Existing partnerships may be especially nurturing, quiet, and emotional this year. In 2009, many Virgos will experience increased faith in their jobs and work routines. Some will land their dream jobs, or find themselves working from home and/or with a partner.

For those Virgos born September 13-20, and those with a Virgo Ascendant between 20 and 27 degrees, Uranus is opposing your Sun this year. People in your life may be surprised at your displays of independence. You don’t care for taking orders, and any attempts to limit you are likely to be met with great resistance or downright rebelliousness on your part. Some of you may find your current partnership limiting and you could either end it or experience tension as you explore ways to break free from restriction. Some of you could experience erratic or rebellious behavior in a close partner, and this could have you on your toes, wondering what’s next. Close relationships may receive a shake-down, and you may feel that it’s hard to truly rely on a partner. Lifeless or outworn relationships may be especially hard to bear for you. Some trial and error in relationships is par for the course with Uranus in this seventh sector of your chart. This year, changes in your view of partnerships are in store.

Many of you are feeling strong urges to break free from your routine and to express yourselves in a freer manner. Conditions and responsibilities that you have previously tolerated or even enjoyed are now seen as overwhelming and restrictive. Inner changes and struggles occur quite dramatically in 2009, and if your outer world and the people around you are not changing along with you (which is more than likely!), you could feel extremely restless and tied down. You are likely questioning your life as it has been, and wondering if there is a whole lot more for you “somewhere out there”. There is an expression that applies here: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water”. In your attempts to make changes in your life, and to rid yourself of limiting conditions, you are prone to making hasty decisions and leaving behind circumstances, jobs, or people that you might one day miss. Recognize that your urge to rebel comes from a desire for more freedom and self-expression, and find ways to express yourself and your freedom that don’t completely upset the things you have worked hard on building to date. Also recognize that as you listen to a bruised or misbehaving ego, you are prone to ignoring your deepest emotions, and as a result you may sever ties that later leave you wanting. It is especially important to be aware of this “blind spot”.

Also for those Virgos born September 13-20 and those with a Virgo Ascendant of 20-27 degrees, Neptune enters your sector of work and health this year. You are more susceptible to medications, chemicals, and other such things during this long-term cycle, so keep this in mind. Stress more easily affects your health as well. Some confusion on the job may be part of the picture, or your job may steer towards compassionate service, charity, or other helping professions. Although Virgos are known for their ability to stick to schedules, Neptune’s presence here makes it more challenging to do so. Saturn in your first house this year will help to keep you more organized, however.

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your solar fifth house. In the first half of 2009, the need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play.

This eclipse is about learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence. February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar twelfth house, and you may recognize an overwhelming need for rest and spiritual renewal. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down time–otherwise, you simply don’t feel whole.

July’s Solar and Lunar Eclipses fall in your eleventh and fourth houses respectively. In the second half of the year, you will be learning about letting go of your attachment to the drama of romance and personal relationships, as well as your willfulness. You are called upon to learn about the value of the team. You may need to give freedom to your romantic partner instead of expecting him or her to follow a script of your own making. You learn the value of brotherly love and the benefits of a sense of belonging to a community. Events are such that you move towards a more objective approach to your life and you cultivate true friendships. Domestic conditions are illuminated with the Lunar Eclipse. House repairs, family dramas, and other such issues need serious attention. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize.

The August Lunar Eclipse falls in your solar fifth house, and a romantic affair may be tested. If love is true, there’s nothing to fear. The demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. Also possible, your children may be going through their own changes and “stages”, and need more attention now.

Your strongest financial periods in 2009 occur from October 13-23 and October 31-November 8.
