With Venus officially moving into Virgo on October 9, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign next week
The cosmic transits this week encourage us to see things for what they are–even if we might have been hiding from or avoiding reality, the energy this week supports us to be more honest than we had ever been before.
After a long stay in Leo, Venus officially moves into Virgo on October 9. The Venusian themes in our lives (money, love, beauty) will require us to become more aware of our energy and take responsibility accordingly. Virgo’s primary concern with our healing journey will show us what in our lives needs improvements—so do not be surprised if what is not working gets shown to us clearly during this time. Just one day later, the planet of love comes to oppose Saturn in Pisces. A good time to take a pause and check in with our internal landscape, and notice the illusions that have been holding us back, whether that is our excessive spending habits or pattern of clinging onto an expired love interest.
On October 11, Pluto goes direct for the final time in Capricorn. Coined as “Lord of the Underworld”, Pluto seeks to show us what was previously hidden. Spend some time reflecting on what has been revealed to you since Pluto went retrograde in early May, notice any natural tendency of sweeping things back under the carpet and try to invite in more honesty and courage to face the truth.
