Venus in Virgo: The Beauty of Solitude

Venus influences the way we relate to one another, what we find beautiful and what brings more sweetness and light into our lives. When Venus takes residence in earthy Virgo -- the sign ruling work, health and our daily routine -- we feel more related to such practical matters.

It may sound a bit dry if you’re a total romantic (Virgo is the opposite sign of glamour-adoring Pisces) but it’s an excellent time to fall in love with the simplicity of your daily regimen. We may crave more time alone to attend to such things as catching up on our sleep, vitamin intake and attention to details. Work feels more satisfying if we apply ourselves wholeheartedly now.

In terms of romantic relationships, if we adopt an attitude of how we can help our partner instead of what we may or may not be getting, we’ll find greater satisfaction. Honoring each other’s need to take space and focus on perfecting our craft is immensely healing now. Virgo emphasizes the process and every beautiful detail involved in acts of refinement. The simpler we keep our lives, work and relationships now, the more content we’re sure to feel.

Instead of smothering other people with demands for attention, allow and encourage others to take time for solitude and reflection. This phase is the preparation for Venus entering Libra on the 28th. At that time, our desire to partner up and do as many things in tandem as possible returns -- so enjoy the silence and solitude while it lasts!
