The Week Ahead for Virgo
Monday, 23 Feb – Sunday, 1 Mar
Are you longing for a breathing space? Looking forward to a time when there won’t be so many conflicting events happening all at once? Well, with Mercury heading into retrograde on Thursday, you may just have got your wish. Frustrating as it can be to get anywhere in a straight line when Mercury is in reverse, it also offers you time to regroup and rethink situations. Thus, by the time this planet of communication turns direct (20 March) you’ll be in a better position to make a decision. There is a purpose to everything under the heavens, even those events we do not like at all.
There is a purpose to everything.

Monday, 16 Feb – Sunday, 22 Feb
Astrology doesn’t always deliver on the exact day of a major alignment, so if Tuesday passes without note, don’t assume the promise of a solar eclipse squaring Uranus is going to remain unfulfilled. Eclipses signal change and the unexpected; a theme augmented by Uranus, the planet of revolution. Certainly, the world is going through an unprecedented period of change and upheaval, the effects of which trickle down to all of us. Ideally, you should embrace the astrology and get behind sweeping changes in your own life. Make your own new beginning.
A new beginning.

The Month Ahead for Virgo
March 2026
A lunar eclipse in your sign is a big deal, especially if your birthday falls in late August or early September. There’s always an aura of fate surrounding events at the time and although you may have made plans for a special occasion in March there will be something you weren’t expecting. A relationship could be in the mix and if you’re not reaching a long-term agreement, you could be ripping up a contract. Endings and beginnings are invariably the business of eclipses. The new moon of the 28th comes at a time of high hopes and intriguing developments.

The Year Ahead for Virgo
2026 is a year of golden opportunities – make the most of events on or near 18 July and 4 November – and while you can learn from the past, you don’t want to live there. Under 2026’s powerful alignments, your happiness lies in going after what (or who) you believe in, even if it means throwing up a piece of your past and entering foreign territory. From July, Jupiter will be moving through the twelfth house in preparation for its transit of Virgo from summer 2027. In tandem, you will be in a period of preparation. Not only are health and fitness important issues to get behind, but the endeavours you begin in the second half of 2026 will take a year to mature.
