Areas of Expansion in 2017 for Virgo:

Money
Possessions
Self-Worth
Income
Communications
Making Connections
Transportation

Your Virgo 2017 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Until October 10, 2017, money, personal possessions, and self-worth continue to expand and grow. Your desire for security and comfort is hearty now, and you’ll pursue these things with more confidence and verve than usual. You feel that you deserve more! This attitude can get you places.

This is a strong time for buying long-term valuables. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period. The focus now is on expansion and enjoyment of recent endeavors.

This cycle has been in influence since September 2016 and will continue until October 2017. It’s strong for attracting more money from your professional endeavors and for expanding a business. You might also more easily attract support from others, but be careful if you are suddenly in the position to receive, for example, a credit line or sizeable loan – spend wisely. You should certainly watch for overspending.

Potential negatives: Be on the alert for an attitude towards money that is careless. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. If you’re overconfident about your ability to make money, then you might take foolish risks, such as borrowing from your future, and this tendency can be especially strong in March and August-September. There can be a conflict over someone else’s resources or money, issues with others squandering your resources, or a frustrating clash of values. Watch for over-indulgence. Be extra careful if lending or borrowing. This can also be a time for overindulgence with comfort foods and items, entertainment, and dating.

Otherwise, this is a good period for bringing a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work. A special influence with you throughout, but peaking in August, points to increased stability and comfort in the home. There can be excellent efforts to improve home life now.

From October 10th onward, you are ready to take on big projects. Your confidence in the future is very strong during this cycle that is with you until November 2018.

During this transit, your communications increase and expand. Your ability and desire to express yourself is greater now, and your personal interests grow. Good fortune with vehicles, transportation, through siblings, and with the communications industry can be experienced during this cycle. You are more perceptive, and others are more receptive to your ideas. New opportunities to communicate can open up to you. This can be a busy period for learning and can also be a time of setting up a more connected home environment.

Potential negatives: Taking on too many daily activities, communications, new interests, and learning endeavors or studies can be a problem now. Don’t overload your plate. Responsibilities to family and around the home can be great at times this year and can prevent you from getting everything done. There can be a real tendency to want to do it all, forgetting your limits in terms of time and energy. Taking on too many projects or becoming too entrenched in details can cause problems.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy more opportunities through your communications and contact with others during this cycle in 2017-2018. You could feel especially motivated to pursue your personal interests and to connect with a partner, particularly from December. This is a good time for sharing your ideas, writing, pursuing a cause, and joining a cause.

You might find that you travel less and that you are busier local. Your thinking is more upbeat, positive, and forward-looking, and so is the way you express yourself. In fact, this is an excellent time for improving your communication skills and your general attitude or mindset. There can be important opportunities through meetings, courses, teaching, and connections made in the neighborhood or through siblings. Some problems with siblings or neighbors could be put to rest now, although they might be magnified initially in order for problem areas to come out into the open and finally be resolved. Some of you might return to school or take some courses.

There can be increased communications with siblings, relatives, and family in general during this period. You could be finding that transportation options now available make life a little more enjoyable.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity: Family, Home, Recreation, Romance, Creative Pursuits

Family
Home
Recreation
Romance
Creative Pursuits
Entertainment

Your Virgo 2017 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Until December 19, 2017, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach continue to be home, family, your roots, domestic activities, living conditions, and security. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Those things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence began December 23rd, 2014, and is with you until December 2017. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Virgo. This year, Saturn’s influence is strongest on Virgos born September 13-22 and those who have 21-30 degrees of Virgo on their Ascendant. People born earlier in the sign have moved beyond the acute, pressured elements of the transit.

Tests can come to your home life this year. The responsibilities and demands of domestic life can run high. There can be a feeling that others are not as sympathetic to you, or that they leave you alone to your own defenses during this period. In truth, you are learning how to stand on your own two feet, as well as to meet your responsibilities and to fix whatever it is that you have let slide in the past. At the end of this cycle, you’ll have built a stronger foundation. You’ll see yourself and your family more clearly, and your expectations will be more realistic as a result.

You can be filled with desire, or circumstances create a need, for more structure in your home life.

Some of the challenges of this position, which may be felt a little more strongly in late April and early November, involve a conflict between attention to a partnership and attention to family. There could be the need to parent or finance someone (parenting a parent for example), and possibly repairs to deal with. A relationship may be strained with increased attention and responsibility to family or around the home, for example, or for some, family may be disapproving of a relationship.

This is also a time for the very beginnings of a business project for some, and especially for those with a Virgo Ascendant. This is a career building stage. It’s vital that you get your home and personal life into order so that you can move forward feeling rooted and secure.

You benefit this year from a highly supportive aspect running from late December 2016 to November 2017 and peaking in May and mid-November. This influence is strong for getting the support you need for home repairs, moves, or other developments. It’s also excellent for a more supportive atmosphere in the family and in your home life. Relationships can become quite comfy at this time, but manage to retain their excitement as well.

Another positive connection made this year peaks in August but hangs around for most of this period, and it serves to boost your sense of security and abundance in the home. This is an excellent time for home improvement efforts, work at home, from home, or on the home, and for businesses related to family, domestic services, and real estate. You’re able to make things happen in a positive way.

From December 19, 2017, and onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs creativity, dating and romance, pleasure, children, hobbies, and creative pastimes. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence will stick with you until the year 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Virgo. This year, those born with an Ascendant of 0-2 degrees Virgo and those born in the first two days of Virgo are most directly affected. (This will extend to the first 10 days and 10 degrees in 2018).

Tests can come to your romantic life during this cycle. For those of you who are single, there can be some reluctance to enter into light-hearted romantic relationships. If you do, you do so cautiously, and you are attracted to more mature or stable people during this cycle. Because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might appear to be slim.

Those of you who are dating might feel some loneliness, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for at this time. An existing romance may be tested but strong ones strengthen further. Those Virgos who are in committed partnerships could find the romantic or fun element of the relationship becomes a strong area of focus during this cycle, for better or for worse. Keeping this aspect of your partnership alive requires work. A romantic partner could feel like a “heavy” at this time, and you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people’s company. For those single and looking, be careful that you don’t project a negative attitude without even realizing it, as this can intimidate some.

Those of you who are parents could feel the weight of responsibilities towards children during this cycle. They may require more of your attention now, although this can be rewarding.

Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might be turning a hobby into a business now, or you might find that there is less time for creative hobbies, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. Your work can require more show, drama, creativity, and entertainment value, and may be a hobby turned business. Romance and work can be tied together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on, and putting a lot of effort into, creative hobbies or pastimes.

You can be filled with desire, or circumstances create a need, for more structure in all of these areas of life, including children, romance, creativity, and recreation. This can be a truly wonderful time for feeling balanced and steady. Firming up areas of your life that have become wasteful can benefit you in many ways. The last time Saturn was in Capricorn was from 1988-1990. Saturn does very well in Capricorn as it rules the sign. This can be a good time for realizing a dream or goal, particularly along creative lines.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Intimacy, Self-Knowledge, Finances

Intimacy
Self-Knowledge
Finances

Your 2017 Virgo Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which your intimate world and shared resources can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence is with you again this year, throughout 2017 and beyond (until March 2019).

Your intimate life and support systems from others are stimulated and opened. These areas of life can be the wild card area of life, but also highly stimulating and innovative. You may be far more experimental when it comes to opening yourself up on sexual and intimate levels. There can be experimentation in your relationships for some of you; for others, there may be less interest in, or possibly some fear of, intimacy right now. You do need to watch for over-confidence with others who might squander your shared resources, for erratic handling of money, or for glossing over problem money areas.

You will be learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle – sudden changes in the support you receive from others can force you to become more independent financially. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as you can. Watch for gambling or risk-taking with money (and a partner who may be doing same) especially in March, August, and September. Watch your heart as well during these periods, as there can be some problems with intimate partners who can come and go and leave your head spinning. You may be attracting people who have different ideas about the intimacy of your relationship than you do.

Otherwise, this can be a powerful period for exploring a new way of approaching your attachments. You get super support in these areas in 2017, largely due to an influence with you until November that helps you to better balance this approach. There can be support for a home or home-related pursuits. If you’ve been feeling shackled by debt or a dependency issue, this can be a time of a surprising change that ultimately leads to a more stable, comfortable, and balanced way of life. You can feel a strong need to free yourself of problems related to money or intimate relationships, and the changes you make as a result act to stabilize your life in key ways.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Love Affairs, Children, Recreation, Personality, Private Life, Spirituality,Work

Love Affairs & Romance
Children
Recreation
Personality
Private Life
Spirituality
Work
Health & Habits

Your 2017 Virgo Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Love affairs can bring intense personal transformations again this year and beyond. This is a long-term influence that has already been present in your life for years, and will be with you for many years to come. You may be meeting people who turn you inside out, and through experiences with them, you learn more about your own power over your life. While experience is good – it builds character – protect your heart and your body by employing some caution with new people in your life.

A more challenging period is possible, particularly in March and August, when there can be sudden events or circumstances that change the direction of, or put a strain on, your love life.

In 2017, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your sectors of independence and partnership, but only until May. The Lunar Eclipse in February in your partnership sector provides a final push towards sorting out a close relationship and your own needs from partnership.

As well, your sectors of spirituality, work, and health are in focus – a newer theme in your life this year. Watch for bad habits that affect your health. 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. You are also learning to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing, and to develop faith and trust in a larger more spiritual plan. It’s time to let go of some of your fears that you are not doing enough, to develop more compassion and understanding of others, and to be humble, feeling safe in the knowledge that you (and others) are not perfect.

The North Node in your sector of endings, spirituality, and privacy from May forward points to a real need to connect to your inner world, as well as to help and support others, as these things can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life, particularly around the eclipses in February and August.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2017: Mercury, your ruler, travels quickly through the signs, covering a lot of ground in any given year. When Mercury is direct and in your own sign, more power to you. In 2017, this occurs from July 25-August 11 and then from September 9-29. Mercury is retrograde, partly in your sign, pointing to a strong period for reviewing your recent decisions and ideas (Mercury is retrograde August 12-September 5).

Mercury’s retrograde periods are natural times for reflection, reassessment, and introspection, and these occur in 2017 from December 19, 2016-January 8, 2017, April 9-May 3, August 12-September 5, and December 3-22.
