Virgin Lover: Venus In Virgo

On August 11, Venus ends its passionate embrace of Mars in the fiery sign of Leo and enters the Vedic sign of Virgo where it remains until September 6th. 

Venus is the planet of sensuality, love and relationships and Virgo is the modest virgin. Think something could be up this month? You are correct.  

Venus experiences its debilitation, or greatest challenge, when it is in Virgo, as is the case from August 11 through September 6. Here are guidelines to making Venus better for you.

When a person is born with Venus in the sign of Virgo, it is said to create a person who filters their feelings through their intellect. They are sometimes more concerned with analyzing their emotions and relationships instead of allowing their heart to lead their mind.

Similarly, when Venus moves into Virgo, we may become critical of our partners and as well as of ourselves in a relationship. 

You may think you are telling your partner how to improve the relationship, but you may be perceived instead as a critical nag and a constant complainer.

If you are looking to begin a relationship this month (or re-invent one), be aware that your negative mind may be so protective that you will dismiss possibilities and overlook the positive aspects of a relationship partner.

Sexual passion could be a challenge if you wish to play the shy modest virgin, but Venus in Virgo really does want to have fun!  Just stop analyzing your emotions and learn to love them. 

Yet for all the challenges that Venus in Virgo may bring us this month, there are positive possibilities. You may be able to take a more detached view of an emotional situation, keeping it at mind’s length so to speak, and achieve a real breakthrough in “understanding” someone or yourself.

Venus in Virgo is a wonderful time to talk through relationship issues, and an excellent time to receive (or offer!) relationship counseling.

Venus is made happier when you wear its color of white, especially beautiful white silk, and if you have any clear or rose quartz malas (or diamond or silver jewelry) wear it for Venus.

Failing that, give yourself (or someone you love) an unexpected bouquet of flowers with a handwritten note (even if it’s for yourself!). Venus in Virgo will love you up for that.

And be patient. By September 7, Venus enters the favorite Vedic sign of Libra and relationships and love blossom all over again.
