Virgo Monthly Horoscope October 2022

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

October 2022 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October 2022

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until October 22nd:

The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.

You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.

From October 23rd forward:

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.

Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.

You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.

Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Eclipses

A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar third house, suggesting a new approach to communications projects, learning, or self-expression.

A new position in the neighborhood, relocation, or increased interaction with others may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle your daily activities.

This is a phase in which you have an increased awareness of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.

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

Until October 22nd: 

Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.

From October 23rd forward: 

With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.

Until October 10th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.

From October 10-29: 

With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.

Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.

From October 29th forward: 

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.

This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:

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.

Occurring in your solar tenth house during this period, enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. Some projects may stall. You may be feeling as if you are only going through the motions when it comes to  your duties and responsibilities, temporarily lacking ambition, fire, or motivation. 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:

October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:

There can be a big focus on your financial status and comfort levels this month, dear Virgo. Later in October, you pay special attention to learning, communicating, and making connections. Career and/or reputation matters can be tricky as the month advances, but any delays you face can give you time to rethink and make essential changes and edits.

The month is good for getting your bearings. You are encouraged to slow down, work things out, draw on patience, and build and develop - and the sooner you accept this pace, the better the rewards! Fortunately, it's easy to embrace the moment.

Still, it's a great period for more fully exploring your unique qualities and talents and putting them to use. It's also a great time to organize money matters and belongings--it can be pretty satisfying to get everything sorted. If debts, shared assets and resources, and anything else that is owed has been the source of stress or possibly some neglect, you'll get the energy to take care of things once and for all.

You have a stronger-than-usual desire for comfort and coziness this month! There may be a gift or bonus coming in or some inclination toward extravagance and indulgence. It's a good time for expanding your thinking on business along financial lines as your motivation to improve grows.

With so much retrograde activity these days, three direct turns can feel good this month. For one, Mercury ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and recent indecision clears or contemplation pays off, especially with finances, personal plans, health, and work. Delays lift, and periods of limbo end as information or a new perspective emerges. If you've been looking back, reviewing, and editing, you'll begin to enjoy the rewards of these efforts. For another, Pluto turns direct on the 8th, and enthusiasm returns for intellectual interests, hobbies, learning, and creative projects. Romantic feelings, your dating life, personal interests and projects, and creative pursuits are areas of life that get a nice boost. Finally, Saturn turns direct on the 23rd, and you'll find it easier to get back on track with diet or fitness plans and work projects. It's a time to adopt a more straightforward approach to meeting and facing your responsibilities. Learning where you stand on a matter can be a relief and can also improve planning and decision-making.

The Full Moon on the 9th can bring a reminder of overspending, or you could have cause to celebrate! Revelations, epiphanies, and turning points relate to an intimate relationship, passion project, or money owed or shared. You might gain new information about shared resources or debts and loans.

Your studies, daily schedule, transportation, or communications are due for an upgrade from the 23rd. There can be some pressure associated with this, but you'll be better off for the effort you make. Others take a strong interest in your ideas or advice, or a pleasant connection emerges through your studies or mental interests. You can find new ways to connect and communicate and perhaps an improved method of transportation. Personal appeal is increasing, and your mind is the major attraction factor.

The Sun and Venus moving into your solar third house on the 23rd bring a busier, more connected theme to your life. After the Solar Eclipse on the 25th, you're in great shape to lay the groundwork for future projects or build your skills. You're excited to learn new things and share your ideas and interests. Quite magically, you gravitate to information that brings benefits to your life. Making long-range plans for improving your experience, particularly when it comes to learning and connecting, is favored. You might also take steps to develop a relationship with a sibling, relative, classmate, or even a neighbor.

One of the main reasons to take things in rather than push things forward too quickly this month is the retrograde of Mars on the 30th. In fact, Mars moves slowly throughout October. Avoid the temptation to pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, as it's unwise. Motivation levels can dip, and you might change your mind about certain projects and ideas.

This retrograde period lasts from October 30th to January 12th and occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it can certainly lead to some delays or slowdowns professionally, you'll ultimately realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work requires more strategy, patience, and a lower profile--it's not the time to push. Work on improving skills and fine-tuning for best results.
