Virgo Horoscope Today — August 11, 2024

EarthAug 23 — Sep 22Ruling Planet: Mercury

You wake up and immediately start a mental list of everything you need to do today, but the list keeps changing. That’s Mercury retrograde in your sign, conjunct Venus, and it’s like your brain is a browser with too many tabs open, and one of them is playing a video you can’t find. Mercury retrograde in your first house is always a mixed bag—you’re more introspective, more critical of yourself, more aware of the gap between who you are and who you want to be. But Venus is right there, softening the edges, reminding you that self-improvement isn’t the same as self-rejection. The Moon is in Scorpio in your fourth house of home and family, sextile both Mercury and Venus, which means your emotional life is deeply connected to your sense of self today. You might feel a pull between wanting to retreat into your private world and needing to show up for others. The Moon is also squaring Pluto in Aquarius in your eighth house, and this is the aspect that’s creating a low-grade hum of anxiety around shared resources, intimacy, or a secret you’re keeping. Something buried is trying to surface. Let it. Meanwhile, the Sun in Leo is in your twelfth house, sextile Mars and Jupiter in Gemini in your tenth house of career. This is a powerful aspect for behind-the-scenes work. You might not get public credit today, but you’re laying the groundwork for something significant. The Sun is also quincunx Saturn in Pisces in your seventh house of partnerships, which creates a subtle tension between your personal needs and your commitments to others. You might feel like you’re giving too much or not enough. The answer is probably somewhere in the middle.
