Overview for this Month: Virgo (All)
January 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
With an emphasis on your sector of joy in January, you're tuning in to your needs for pleasure and leisure, dear Virgo. Even so, there is an increasing emphasis on your work-and-health sector as the month advances.
From the 6th and 8th, respectively, Mars and Venus move into fellow Earth signs and harmony with your sign. These influences bring more charm, clarity, and warmth to your presentation. You are received extraordinarily well.
Mars spent an unusually long period (over six months) undercover in your solar chart, but on the 6th, it heads into your spirit sector, firing your desire to get a little more from your life until early March. It's considerably more straightforward energy. You tend to fight for what you believe in, and you're more courageous about expressing your ideas or opinions. This can be the start of an exciting new passion or interest. Enthusiasm stirred up now can take you far.
Creative urges and the need to share them figure strongly. People are more cooperative, helpful, or supportive. You're more spirited and confident, especially about a relationship or creative endeavor. You can be highly motivated to pursue a personal interest, particular topic, hobby, or creative activity. You might expand your horizons through an artistic pursuit or a hearty discussion.
Love can be attracted or enhanced more readily, particularly around the 8-9. Love, business, and creativity benefit from good timing and confidence. The New Moon on the 13th asks you to pay more attention to finding outlets for creative release and pleasure. It encourages you to find the time for relaxing, creating, and enjoying yourself as you do. Making more room for recreation and personal enjoyment is important now.
Uranus turns direct on the 14th, and you're becoming more motivated to put your spiritual beliefs into action. Your general faith in life and the universe increases. It's easier to make meaningful changes with this shift–you're more courageous about learning and sharing from this date forward.
A work-and-health theme is gaining traction this month--you're focusing on the details of your life. Your thoughts and conversations often turn to work, health, and practical matters. It's a decent time for learning new skills, especially practical ones, and for seeking information that helps you improve your routines and habits.
Since you have a lot on your plate, it's important to consciously avoid scattering your energies. Or, watch for pinning all your hopes on one thing. You have a strong drive to perform mundane tasks, but your quest for something higher or more adventurous seems to compete. Tone things down a notch and recognize that patience will help prevent sloppiness. It's essential to be flexible and mindful as Jupiter squares Mars and Uranus this month.
The Full Moon on the 28th can bring a secret, health, or private matter to light or a work project to fruition. The need for extra rest and quiet or personal time is paramount, even though it can feel at odds with your drive with work or health matters. Big ideas need more definition before putting them into action, but it's a strong time to see what needs doing. Circumstances push the need to arrive at a healthy balance between time for yourself and time for your chores.
Increased optimism and hope can be powerful healers. You might discover or commit to a new method for improved health or work attitudes and efforts in the month ahead. For now, you're envisioning and planning. Finding more meaning in your work and satisfaction in helping or serving others is a big theme now.
Mercury turning retrograde in your work and health sector on the 30th points to the need to slow down, observe, and refine things before pushing forward.

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) AND Virgo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Virgo:
January 2021 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 19th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From January 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until January 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From January 8th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
From January 8th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
From the 7th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

January 2021 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation.

Circumstances push the need to arrive at a healthy balance between time for yourself and time for your chores.
Increased optimism and hope can be powerful healers. You might discover or commit to a new method for improved health or work attitudes and efforts in the month ahead. For now, you're envisioning and planning. Finding more meaning in your work and satisfaction in helping or serving others is a big theme now.
Mercury turning retrograde in your work and health sector on the 30th points to the need to slow down, observe, and refine things before pushing forward.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
