Virgo Monthly Horoscope – June 2018

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

June 2018 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 21st:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.

From June 21st forward:

The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.

This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 13th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

From June 13th forward: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 12th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.

From June 12-29: 

Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.

As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

From June 29th forward: 

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.

This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of intimacy, sharing, and finances because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. Anger management might be in order now, and it's a strong period for reviewing how you have been asserting yourself with a partner. There can be frustrations with how you've been managing power in a partnership, as well as drive to improve this situation. There may be a struggle with addictions at this time or the magnification of fears and phobias that have been driving your behavior. The good news is that you have a chance to better manage them.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar sixth house during this date range, enthusiasm for your work or health regimes, or for work projects and daily routines, could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. Work itself could seem to be less straightforward or satisfying. New initiatives with these matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors, and possibly frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Virgo: There is a relatively strong focus on material or ambitious concerns for at least the first couple of weeks of June, dear Virgo. The Sun and Mercury are transiting your solar tenth house (until the 21st and 12th, respectively), and you are more invested than usual in your long-term or professional goals, responsibilities, or reputation. You're bringing more pride and intelligence to your work or public life now. You are getting noticed for your skills, views, or voice. You can be working hard to surpass competitors or merely trying to beat your own personal "best." Particularly around the 4-5, you may be receiving special attention in a public or professional sense, or your communications are particularly impactful. Problem-solving skills are high. New insights into your career or life path can emerge, or there can be a significant clarification or a meaningful realization related to your broader goals. Ideas for new directions can be valuable now.

At the same time, you have Venus moving through your social sector, ensuring that your happiness goals get their fair share of attention, until the 13th. Mercury and the Sun will extend these themes from the 12th and 21st, making sure that social and humanitarian concerns remain prominent themes throughout June. There is more natural energy for socializing and connecting this month. You get along better with the team, or you might share some of your talents or expertise with associates with excellent results. This can be a favorable time for collaborations or for reaching out to others and sharing some activities. Your tastes are for the new, different, and progressive. The urge to be around people or to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is compelling now.

The New Moon on the 13th can usher in a new beginning of sorts on the career front. If you need to rebrand yourself in some way, this can be a time for doing so. Your ideas, particularly business ones, are exceptionally innovative and progressive at this time.

Venus moves into your privacy sector from the 13th forward, however, and this can point to a period of review and reflection when it comes to affections and relationships. Benefits come from paying more attention to the hidden elements and patterns of your interactions. This jibes well with Neptune's retrograde in your partnership sector - you may be reviewing your feelings and possibly your allegiances.

Two planets turn retrograde this month: Neptune on the 18th and Mars on the 26th. Neptune's retrograde happens for five months every year and has been affecting your partnership sector for many years. It's nothing new to you, but in the week of its station (mid-June), a significant relationship, past or present, may be called to mind and the need for a new perspective on your relationship needs becomes apparent. Confusion is possible now, and for some, a temporary lull or loss of faith in a dream. This is not "designed" to discourage you. Instead, it gives you the chance to reconsider what it is you honestly want from a person or a relationship. Give people space, and give yourself time before coming to important conclusions.

A grand trine involving your ruler, Mercury, on the 19-20 is especially useful for getting in touch with your intuition and for coming to important understandings or agreements. Your social life can thrive, and your ideas are likely to be received especially well. A friendship might grow through your communications, positive reinforcement, kind compliments or acknowledgments, your choice of words, and your unique perspective. You may be looking forward with more hope, optimism, and confidence. It's a good time to do some big-picture thinking, particularly about pet projects or causes.

At the same time, there may be a revelation or a culmination in a relationship or financial matter, and someone may take issue with you if you've been on the fence about a topic or if you've been stalling. It may be difficult to see eye to eye with someone and desires are likely intense now. Frustrations with routines and work can be prominent now, particularly as you are craving more time to yourself to sort out your feelings. On the 21st as well, the Sun moves into your social sector, giving you another type of message - it's a period for planting "seeds" in the form of ideas, dreams, and hopes. Think in terms of team playing -- the most benefits come your way when you recognize your need for friends, a social life, or rewarding activities separate from your closest relationships and duties.

There can be some complications in June with Mars turning retrograde on the 26th. Keep in mind that while Mars is retrograde until August 27th, there are always related lead-in and hangover periods of a retrograde cycle, and you're likely to feel some stalling at any point in June. Specifically, there can be some tricky matters revolving around work or health matters to deal with. Energy may not be at its best for work and health routines, and you could be feeling sluggish or bored. If so, it's mainly about waning emotional energy (motivation and inspiration) which impact your physical vitality as well. Keep in mind that while there can be delays, slowdowns, and muddled situations, your patience now will be rewarded later. For now and the coming seven weeks, Mars is slowly transiting your sector of work and health, prompting a review of these matters. You may be looking to the past for inspiration now, and considering reviving past projects or reminiscing about previous jobs. With your health, you may need to clear up an old issue before going forward with new programs or procedures.

The Full Moon on the 27-28 is tied in with the annual Sun-Saturn opposition this year, turning your attention to friendship, romance, or a creative project. Pent-up feelings are likely to reach a head on these dates. The Sun has been encouraging your social side to come out to play, while Saturn in your romantic and creative sector presents some restrictions. There can be frustrations, delays, or possibly disapproval in a relationship or with a creative pursuit, or there can be some concerns or anxieties that keep you from thoroughly enjoying yourself just for the time being. You're reminded of your responsibilities, and while this can feel limiting right now, you stand to benefit from slowing down and making some adjustments to your plans before going forward. Consider what's best for you in the long run. It's the mature, Saturn thing to do!

Virgo (Born September 3 to 12) AND Virgo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Virgo:

June 2018 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 22nd: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

From June 22nd forward: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until June 3rd:

Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

From June 3-17: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

From June 17th forward: 

Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.

As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of intimacy, sharing, and finances because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. Anger management might be in order now, and it's a strong period for reviewing how you have been asserting yourself with a partner. There can be frustrations with how you've been managing power in a partnership, as well as drive to improve this situation. There may be a struggle with addictions at this time or the magnification of fears and phobias that have been driving your behavior. The good news is that you have a chance to better manage them.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar fifth house during this period, enthusiasm for romance or creative project could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. A relationship with a lover or a child could become more complicated or possibly exhausting. Desires can be hard to read for existing relationships - both yours and those of a lover. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you've been pursuing in love, and a new approach becomes necessary. There could be waning interest in a hobby or a return to an old one. Some of you could be excessively preoccupied with a love relationship. New initiatives with fifth house matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in fifth house areas of life--creativity self-expression, recreation, children, and romance. Caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident, or you could lack motivation now. Watch for pent-up anger, frustration, and passive-aggressiveness with a lover or with your children, if applicable. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.

Virgo (Born September 13 to 23) AND Virgo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Virgo:

June 2018 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 10th:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.

It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.

From June 10th forward:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until June 5th: 

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From June 5th forward: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 8th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

From the 8-23: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

From June 23rd forward: 

Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.

As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of intimacy, sharing, and finances because Mars rules these areas of your solar chart. Intimate matters may become more intense and complicated. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. Anger management might be in order now, and it's a strong period for reviewing how you have been asserting yourself with a partner. There can be frustrations with how you've been managing power in a partnership, as well as drive to improve this situation. There may be a struggle with addictions at this time or the magnification of fears and phobias that have been driving your behavior. The good news is that you have a chance to better manage them.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar fifth house during this period, enthusiasm for romance or creative project could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. A relationship with a lover or a child could become more complicated or possibly exhausting. Desires can be hard to read for existing relationships - both yours and those of a lover. There can be a change of heart, or you could be questioning what you've been pursuing in love, and a new approach becomes necessary. There could be waning interest in a hobby or a return to an old one. Some of you could be excessively preoccupied with a love relationship. New initiatives with fifth house matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in fifth house areas of life--creativity self-expression, recreation, children, and romance. Caution and perhaps anxiety or confusion begin to dominate. You might feel less confident, or you could lack motivation now. Watch for pent-up anger, frustration, and passive-aggressiveness with a lover or with your children, if applicable. Refocusing, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Virgo: There is a relatively strong focus on material or ambitious concerns for at least the first couple of weeks of June, dear Virgo. The Sun and Mercury are transiting your solar tenth house (until the 21st and 12th, respectively), and you are more invested than usual in your long-term or professional goals, responsibilities, or reputation. You're bringing more pride and intelligence to your work or public life now. You are getting noticed for your skills, views, or voice. You can be working hard to surpass competitors or merely trying to beat your own personal "best." Particularly around the 4-5, you may be receiving special attention in a public or professional sense, or your communications are particularly impactful. Problem-solving skills are high. New insights into your career or life path can emerge, or there can be a significant clarification or a meaningful realization related to your broader goals. Ideas for new directions can be valuable now.

At the same time, you have Venus moving through your social sector, ensuring that your happiness goals get their fair share of attention, until the 13th. Mercury and the Sun will extend these themes from the 12th and 21st, making sure that social and humanitarian concerns remain prominent themes throughout June. There is more natural energy for socializing and connecting this month. You get along better with the team, or you might share some of your talents or expertise with associates with excellent results. This can be a favorable time for collaborations or for reaching out to others and sharing some activities. Your tastes are for the new, different, and progressive. The urge to be around people or to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is compelling now.

The New Moon on the 13th can usher in a new beginning of sorts on the career front. If you need to rebrand yourself in some way, this can be a time for doing so. Your ideas, particularly business ones, are exceptionally innovative and progressive at this time.

Venus moves into your privacy sector from the 13th forward, however, and this can point to a period of review and reflection when it comes to affections and relationships. Benefits come from paying more attention to the hidden elements and patterns of your interactions. This jibes well with Neptune's retrograde in your partnership sector - you may be reviewing your feelings and possibly your allegiances.

Two planets turn retrograde this month: Neptune on the 18th and Mars on the 26th. Neptune's retrograde happens for five months every year and has been affecting your partnership sector for many years. It's nothing new to you, but in the week of its station (mid-June), a significant relationship, past or present, may be called to mind and the need for a new perspective on your relationship needs becomes apparent. Confusion is possible now, and for some, a temporary lull or loss of faith in a dream. This is not "designed" to discourage you. Instead, it gives you the chance to reconsider what it is you honestly want from a person or a relationship. Give people space, and give yourself time before coming to important conclusions.

A grand trine involving your ruler, Mercury, on the 19-20 is especially useful for getting in touch with your intuition and for coming to important understandings or agreements. Your social life can thrive, and your ideas are likely to be received especially well. A friendship might grow through your communications, positive reinforcement, kind compliments or acknowledgments, your choice of words, and your unique perspective. You may be looking forward with more hope, optimism, and confidence. It's a good time to do some big-picture thinking, particularly about pet projects or causes.

At the same time, there may be a revelation or a culmination in a relationship or financial matter, and someone may take issue with you if you've been on the fence about a topic or if you've been stalling. It may be difficult to see eye to eye with someone and desires are likely intense now. Frustrations with routines and work can be prominent now, particularly as you are craving more time to yourself to sort out your feelings. On the 21st as well, the Sun moves into your social sector, giving you another type of message - it's a period for planting "seeds" in the form of ideas, dreams, and hopes. Think in terms of team playing -- the most benefits come your way when you recognize your need for friends, a social life, or rewarding activities separate from your closest relationships and duties.

There can be some complications in June with Mars turning retrograde on the 26th. Keep in mind that while Mars is retrograde until August 27th, there are always related lead-in and hangover periods of a retrograde cycle, and you're likely to feel some stalling at any point in June. Specifically, there can be some tricky matters revolving around work or health matters to deal with. Energy may not be at its best for work and health routines, and you could be feeling sluggish or bored. If so, it's mainly about waning emotional energy (motivation and inspiration) which impact your physical vitality as well. Keep in mind that while there can be delays, slowdowns, and muddled situations, your patience now will be rewarded later. For now and the coming seven weeks, Mars is slowly transiting your sector of work and health, prompting a review of these matters. You may be looking to the past for inspiration now, and considering reviving past projects or reminiscing about previous jobs. With your health, you may need to clear up an old issue before going forward with new programs or procedures.

The Full Moon on the 27-28 is tied in with the annual Sun-Saturn opposition this year, turning your attention to friendship, romance, or a creative project. Pent-up feelings are likely to reach a head on these dates. The Sun has been encouraging your social side to come out to play, while Saturn in your romantic and creative sector presents some restrictions. There can be frustrations, delays, or possibly disapproval in a relationship or with a creative pursuit, or there can be some concerns or anxieties that keep you from thoroughly enjoying yourself just for the time being. You're reminded of your responsibilities, and while this can feel limiting right now, you stand to benefit from slowing down and making some adjustments to your plans before going forward. Consider what's best for you in the long run. It's the mature, Saturn thing to do!
