Virgo Monthly Horoscope July 2024 (2024)

Overview for this Month: Virgo (All)

July 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:

July finds you focusing on your social life or happiness pursuits, dear Virgo, although with some inclination to retreat and rest, especially as the month advances. You're taking more interest in finding your joy or making a contribution. Expanding your mind and exploring extracurricular activities can also be rewarding. You seek ways to improve your life experiences and increase your knowledge and wisdom. Sharing ideas can figure strongly. It's a time for feeling freer and happier as your knowledge of the world around you grows.

Long-term plans look exciting now, and your optimism is in the spotlight. The New Moon on the 5th is strong for friendships, alliances, networking, and happiness goals. It positions you well for sorting out your social life or status with friends, groups, and networks. With your motivation levels high, making solid plans is a strong possibility. Making connections and solving problems can be exciting. Emerging opportunities have the potential for longevity and meaningfulness. You might begin a new venture or join a group or team.

Supporting your goals is Mars in your adventure, spirit, and learning sector, and Mars connects well with Saturn in your partnership house. You may enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and impress others simultaneously, and this theme will stick with you in a general sense throughout the month. This is a beautiful time for making connections that last and ones that support your interests to boot. While it's a good time to pursue improvements, you also recognize the beauty in what's already in place, and it's empowering. Realistic assessments can come in handy now. For instance, you might see an area where you've been pressuring yourself unnecessarily, and it's satisfying to simplify your life.

You're also allowing room for others to be themselves without pressure to perform or measure up. It's easier than usual to listen to others and offer quietly supportive advice or commentary. Concentration comes more readily, and you may take on work or obligations more willingly as you feel prepared to manage them. Your perspective is shifting in powerful, positive ways, and you're likely to want to share your ideas and causes with others. It can be a time of happiness and fulfillment through expanding your mind or connections to people of a different cultural background than you. It's a potentially powerful time for seeing an educational path, belief system, personal interest, and mental focus or attitude differently. There can be distinct moments when you crave more life experience and freedom of movement. An impulse to explore, discover, and learn can come on strongly–you want to stretch yourself and improve.

Even so, from the 20th onward, Mars at the top of your solar chart stirs your ambitions to perform and succeed. There can be some issues or conflicts with people in positions of authority, but overall, this cycle encourages a hands-on, active role in your career, taking on responsibilities, and pursuing your larger goals.

The Full Moon on the 21st can bring affection and creativity to full bloom. Last month's Full Moon may have stirred your desires; now, a revelation about romance, children, or creative endeavors is in the spotlight. You're in an eyes-wide-open period regarding a romantic or creative issue. You might have an epiphany that leads you to the conclusion that you should enjoy yourself more fully. It's a time for embracing your feelings and letting them guide you! This lunation can bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface, and it feels great to release them.

Mercury is the first to move into your privacy sector on the 2nd, Venus comes next (on the 11th), and the Sun follows on the 22nd. You're transitioning into a period of the year best used for taking extra time to yourself for rest and reflection. This is a time to release, let go, purge, and heal. Reassessing certain projects, alliances, goals, or attachments can be in focus until these bodies move into your sign (July 25th for Mercury, August 4th for Venus, and August 22nd for the Sun). You'll want to be renewed and refreshed for these unveilings!

Taking the time to relax, refresh, and get in touch with your inner world can be in order, even with a stronger focus on your ambitions as July advances. You might see old problems or projects in a new light. Life is a little quieter as you find more time to slip into the background to enjoy private moments and times for rest and reflection.

You're working under the radar or behind the scenes later in July, but while you can be somewhat retiring on a personal level, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is also active. It's a work-hard, rest-hard time for you! You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong as you close out the month. You seem to have all the right tools at your disposal for solving challenging problems related to work or health. Pouring your energies into streamlining or revamping your work or various important projects can be quite successful now, and the potential for success is high, leaving you feeling confident and capable.

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

July 2024 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July 2024

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until July 21st:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From July 22nd forward:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

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

Until July 11th:

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 July 11th 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 July 2nd:

Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

Until July 2nd to 25th:

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.

From July 25th forward:

With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.

It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.

This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.

Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 20th:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

From the 20th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

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.

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

July 2024 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July 2024

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until July 11th:

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 July 11th 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.

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

Until July 3rd:

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 July 3rd to 27th:

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.

From July 28th 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.

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

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 July 6th 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.

Making connections and solving problems can be exciting. Emerging opportunities have the potential for longevity and meaningfulness. You might begin a new venture or join a group or team.

Supporting your goals is Mars in your adventure, spirit, and learning sector, and Mars connects well with Saturn in your partnership house. You may enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and impress others simultaneously, and this theme will stick with you in a general sense throughout the month. This is a beautiful time for making connections that last and ones that support your interests to boot. While it's a good time to pursue improvements, you also recognize the beauty in what's already in place, and it's empowering. Realistic assessments can come in handy now. For instance, you might see an area where you've been pressuring yourself unnecessarily, and it's satisfying to simplify your life.

You're also allowing room for others to be themselves without pressure to perform or measure up. It's easier than usual to listen to others and offer quietly supportive advice or commentary. Concentration comes more readily, and you may take on work or obligations more willingly as you feel prepared to manage them. Your perspective is shifting in powerful, positive ways, and you're likely to want to share your ideas and causes with others. It can be a time of happiness and fulfillment through expanding your mind or connections to people of a different cultural background than you. It's a potentially powerful time for seeing an educational path, belief system, personal interest, and mental focus or attitude differently. There can be distinct moments when you crave more life experience and freedom of movement. An impulse to explore, discover, and learn can come on strongly–you want to stretch yourself and improve.

Even so, from the 20th onward, Mars at the top of your solar chart stirs your ambitions to perform and succeed. There can be some issues or conflicts with people in positions of authority, but overall, this cycle encourages a hands-on, active role in your career, taking on responsibilities, and pursuing your larger goals.

The Full Moon on the 21st can bring affection and creativity to full bloom. Last month's Full Moon may have stirred your desires; now, a revelation about romance, children, or creative endeavors is in the spotlight. You're in an eyes-wide-open period regarding a romantic or creative issue. You might have an epiphany that leads you to the conclusion that you should enjoy yourself more fully. It's a time for embracing your feelings and letting them guide you! This lunation can bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface, and it feels great to release them.

Mercury is the first to move into your privacy sector on the 2nd, Venus comes next (on the 11th), and the Sun follows on the 22nd. You're transitioning into a period of the year best used for taking extra time to yourself for rest and reflection. This is a time to release, let go, purge, and heal. Reassessing certain projects, alliances, goals, or attachments can be in focus until these bodies move into your sign (July 25th for Mercury, August 4th for Venus, and August 22nd for the Sun). You'll want to be renewed and refreshed for these unveilings!

Taking the time to relax, refresh, and get in touch with your inner world can be in order, even with a stronger focus on your ambitions as July advances. You might see old problems or projects in a new light. Life is a little quieter as you find more time to slip into the background to enjoy private moments and times for rest and reflection.

You're working under the radar or behind the scenes later in July, but while you can be somewhat retiring on a personal level, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is also active. It's a work-hard, rest-hard time for you! You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong as you close out the month. You seem to have all the right tools at your disposal for solving challenging problems related to work or health. Pouring your energies into streamlining or revamping your work or various important projects can be quite successful now, and the potential for success is high, leaving you feeling confident and capable.

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.
