Areas of Expansion in 2018 for Virgo:

Communications
Making Connections
Transportation
Home
Family
Self-Image

Your Virgo 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Until November 8, 2018, you are ready to take on big projects. Your confidence in the future is very strong during this cycle that has been with you since October 2017 and will continue to encourage a positive frame of mind and can-do attitude 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. 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 2017 to August 2018. This is a good time for sharing your ideas, writing, pursuing a cause, and joining a cause. As well, from January to September 2018, you may get the chance (and confidence) to really sink your teeth into a creative or exciting project. This can also be a time of a budding romance.

You might find that you travel less and that you are busier locally. 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.

From November 8th onward, you benefit from a transit that increases your confidence in your family, living arrangements, and living conditions. While this is a domestic transit, relationships with anyone you feel especially connected with on an emotional plane can benefit. You are comfortable with yourself or your current position, and you may be building loving and secure connections with others, laying down roots, or getting even more comfortable. There can be special attention to the comfort and beauty of your home or a stronger desire to connect with your roots. You might also enjoy an improved ability to bounce back from problems, perhaps due to extra support.

Your inner world, family life, domestic activities, and domestic arrangements expand and grow. This comes at a great time since these areas of life may have been a little strained or perhaps a little serious in recent years.

Relations with family can be especially pleasant and supportive during this cycle that lasts until December 2019. You might move to a new home, likely a bigger one, or expand real estate holdings. Some of you can get a mortgage or support that allows you to expand your home base. Family itself can expand, or there might be an addition to your home. Some might take on a roommate for example, or bring more friends to their home. Others might pool resources with a partner and move in together. Entertaining in the home can be emphasized if that is something that makes you happy. Otherwise, you can experience a stronger sense of peace and privacy in your home life.

Generally speaking, more positive energy is brought to your domestic world, and long-standing problems with family might be put to bed. Do be careful about overextending yourself with home improvements, or larger accommodations that are beyond your means. Your personal life tends to overshadow your professional life or material activities during this cycle. Relationships with family can improve significantly now, although pre-existing problems might be magnified initially just to get everything out in the open.

This can be a good time to set up a home business or for home studies. On a more psychological level, confidence in yourself and feelings of security increase during this period.

Potential problems: Excessive money spent on home improvement, too much emphasis on the home to the point that other areas of your life suffer, or some unwillingness to expand your horizons. Avoiding or escaping responsibilities may be a problem from time to time. You may be wanting to please too many people, and overdoing things leaves you exhausted, as it seems there is never enough time and energy to meet all your needs.

For the most part, however, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. This is a time of nest-feathering. It’s a strong time for psychotherapy and purging as you are willing to look at the root of problems. There can be more power and resources available to you to establish yourself, especially through a home or property, but also for long-term business endeavors.

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

Recreation
Romance
Creative Pursuits
Entertainment

Your Virgo 2018 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 2020, 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 1-11 degrees Virgo and those born in the first eleven days of Virgo are most directly affected.

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.

However, for many others, this is a time when a relationship stabilizes and it feels great. In fact, this can be a generally more stable or steady time in your life, and this is exactly what you need at the moment.

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. This can be a good time for realizing a dream or goal, particularly along creative lines. The last time a similar theme occurred was from 1988-1990.

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

Intimacy
Self-Knowledge
Finances
Education
Publishing

Your 2018 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, until March 2019. Uranus will move on to a new sector of your chart from May 15th to November 6th this year before returning to complete its journey in your intimacy sector until March 2019, which means 2018 gets both themes in this transition period, as follows:

Until May 15th and then from November 6th forward, your intimate life and support systems from others are stimulated and opened in a continued theme. These areas of life can be the wildcard 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 (it can go either way with this transit, and the bottom line is that it’s an unusual or different approach).

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 have been learning a lesson in detachment during this cycle – sudden changes in the support you receive from others may have forced you to become more independent financially or you may have chosen to cut off certain ties that have changed the way you approach the world. 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 early November and mid-December. 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, or you may be consciously isolating yourself perhaps due to a fear of becoming too attached.

Otherwise, this can be a powerful period for exploring a new way of approaching your attachments. You can feel a strong need to free yourself from problems related to money or intimate relationships.

From May 15th to November 6th, you enter a lengthy period in which your belief systems and knowledge change and develop. You experience a spiritual awakening of sorts. Travel opportunities may arise. Learning needs to be exciting or cutting edge for you in order to keep your interest, but while you are less interested in traditional subjects or methods of learning, if you are on an educational path, be sure to “endure” some of these things so that your training is relevant to your career goals. Life experiences are unpredictable and exciting. You are embracing change and easily incorporate changes into your personality.

Note that this influence kicks in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026). It’s a wonderfully supportive, gently stimulating and motivating period.

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

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

Your 2018 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.

Of course, there can be some periods of friction involved with this evolution, and in 2018, this may be particularly so in late November, when there can be sudden events or circumstances that change the direction of, or put a strain on, your love life. There may be strong pulls towards home and family life, and equally compelling draws towards fun or romantic avenues.

In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your sectors of spirituality, work, and health. 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 until November 6th 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 January/February and July/August.

The North Node moves into your sector of friends, groups, community, and happiness goals on November 6th and will transit here for a year and a half. These areas of life will be the source of much joy and interest as you are challenged to make improvements here. An eclipse in mid-July reinforces this theme, although this is only the beginning. In fact, this theme will develop more fully in 2019.

This is a time for exploring your need to connect with a cause, group, or your community. One of the major keys to happiness this year from November forward is learning to team up with others successfully instead of going it alone or pushing too hard to stand out as unique.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: 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 2018, this occurs from September 6-21.

Mercury’s retrograde periods are natural times for reflection, reassessment, and introspection, and these occur in 2018 from March 22 -April 15, July 26-August 19, and November 16-December 6.
