Your 2024 Venus in Virgo Horoscope: What’s in Store for You From August 4 to 29
Envision the most pleasurable experiences in life, in which you feel like you’re surrounded by beauty and fostering heartfelt connections, perhaps in which you feel the most supported in terms of how you earn money. These are the moments ruled by Venus, the planet of romance, which is about to make a major move into Virgo, the mutable earth sign. Since July 11, Venus has been moving through Leo, the fixed fire sign, supporting more assertive self-expression in your relationships, bold and even glitzy personal style moves while welcoming plenty of lighthearted, playful fun and cinematic romance galore. But from Sunday, August 4 at 10:23 p.m. ET/7:23 p.m. PT until Thursday, August 29 at 9:23 a.m. ET/6:23 a.m. PT, the planet that oversees art, relationships and values will move into the sign of the Maiden and, in turn, more practical, grounded, service-oriented and analytical terrain. In turn, you’ll want to take a more cerebral and well-thought-out approach to your bonds, expressing yourself creatively and making money, among the other aspects of life Venus oversees.
Here, all you need to know in order to make the most of Venus in Virgo 2024.
What’s the meaning of Venus in Virgo?
In astrology, Venus oversees relationships, beauty, pleasure, values and money, and annually, in August, September and/or October (depending on a retrograde, like we had last year), the planet makes its way through Virgo, the sixth sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Maiden. To understand Virgoan energy, it can help to look to the sign’s ruler, messenger Mercury, which colors how you think, share what’s on your mind, take in and analyze information and make decisions. In turn, Virgo’s nature tends to be highly cerebral, communicative, honed in on the magical details of everyday life, service-oriented, sensitive and health-conscious. In turn, we will all be more apt to want to be helpful and to show up for our nearest and dearest while Venus travels through Virgo.
As one of the mutable signs (the others being Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces), Virgo is typically quite flexible, capable of switching gears without much notice at all. But this comes with an innate indecisiveness and, particularly in the Maiden’s case, tendency to overthink, which could also color how we relate to others, perceive beauty, understand our values and otherwise experience Venus’ influence now.
When Venus is in Virgo, it’ll be the perfect time to show your loved ones or a significant other you care by tackling everyday tasks (from the dishes to running key errands) or heading down Google rabbit holes to research the best date night spot or party venue. Virgo knows better than any sign that everyday to-dos and mundane information-gathering keep life moving ahead and may even preempt unnecessary headaches. And as a Mercury-ruled sign, Virgo is also a big fan of thought-provoking conversation and heartfelt, well-written emails or texts, so you can prepare to feel even more connected to someone you adore or your social circle.
It does bear noting, however, that when Venus enters Virgo, it’s considered to be in its fall, where it is challenged and struggles to do its work. Venus, as a planet in astrology, prioritizes peace, harmony, beauty and relationships while Virgo prioritizes cerebral energy, rational thought, information-gathering and tends to zero in on self-improvement which isn’t quite in line with the planet of love’s desire to connect with others and put companionship first. But all this means is that we must work a little harder and get a bit more creative to make the most of Venus during this season.
What can you expect during Venus in Virgo 2024
Although Venus moves through Virgo annually, all of the planets move at different rates through the zodiac, so the relationship-oriented planet’s meetups with other celestial bodies changes from year to year. A few must-knows: In 2024, Venus goes into Virgo just as we’re amid a new moon in Leo and welcoming in Mercury retrograde, which kicks off in Virgo and heads back through Leo. In turn, you could feel more introspective than usual, inspired to relate to others by taking trips down memory lane. This tone will be especially apparent when Venus and Mercury retrograde join forces in Virgo on August 7.
On Monday, August 19 — the same day as the full moon in Aquarius — Venus will square off against lucky Jupiter in Gemini, which boosts optimism and feel-good energy but can make it tougher to put your nose to the grindstone and wrap up pending projects. The planet of romance then opposes taskmaster Saturn in Pisces, and you could experience a bout of inexplicable blues or the desire to sink into much-needed solo time.
And on Tuesday, August 27, just ahead of Mercury going direct, Venus will form a harmonizing trine to rebellious Uranus in Taurus, encouraging you to shake up your love life, earning strategy or perspective when it comes to values, beauty or pleasure. A completely different direction could be downright exhilarating.
