Virgo

May  2026

 Sweet Virgo begins the month  of May wanting a little private time. Virgo is a sign that enjoys their own company so this is not a bad thing. You have four planets starting out the month in your eighth house. This is a private house but also one where the veil is thin between this side and the other side. You may be thinking more about those you care about who have passed away. You may even think about booking an appointment with a medium. The point is that the mysteries of life call to you now. There is often a desire to dig down deep into who you are and why you feel and react the way you do. It is a good time to talk to a therapist or find a good hypnotist and do some past life work or releasing work. It is a powerful time for deep inner truths to make themselves known to you. This can also be a powerful time of healing. By May 4th Mercury leaves but Mars will stay until the 19th and Saturn and Neptune will both be here thru the end of the year. The eighth house is also one that is a financial area of the chart. Your mind might be on some kind of long-range planning for retirement or kids’ college fund. You are ready to put in the hard work to make your future goals achievable. 


As Mercury enters the sign of Taurus and your ninth house, it will join the Sun already there. Mercury and the Sun move together from the 4th to the 18th. So a great combo for any kind of learning or study. Go back to school. Sign up for some evening enrichment programs and enjoy the learning process. Your mind is very strong and very clear. You can use this in so many positive ways. If you are in sales then you have a special bonus, as everyone wants to work with you and you can rack up some big sales. This area of the chart is also one that loves to travel. So plan a trip for down the road, or don’t even wait, but get your suitcase out and start packing. You can pick the destination later on. It is time to play a bit. You will have to find the right balance between wanting to be alone with your private thoughts and wanting to travel the world with a friend or partner, but you will find the right balance to enjoy the month. Some of this travel may be for work as you have both Uranus and Venus in your career house. Step up and talk to your boss. They will listen now.
