Pluto Retrograde begins on the 27th of April and extends into May, giving Virgo the urge to examine the balances within their lives. Virgos are naturally very hard on themselves and are always striving to be a perfectionist everywhere they go. Virgo is represented by the Goddess of Earth and Agriculture, therefore several of your life's imbalances will center around your work in the materialistic Earth. Take this precious energy and put it into gardening. Anything that requires the cycle of life. This practice will feel cleansing and be the equivalent of the destruction Pluto can bring. Evergreen Virgo, you hold a perspective that is more down-to-earth than others and by managing the circle of life you will find the answers to your deepest questions.

When you’ve finished organizing your finances, Mother-Earth Virgo, it is time to organize your communication skills. How are you speaking? How are your manners? How is your posture? Every aspect of communication is important for Virgo to feel confident in the social world. Watch yourself in the mirror during Mercury’s entrance into Gemini happening on the 3rd and reflect on what you would like to be different. Practice yoga to stretch out those limbs and gain a more graceful stride. Practice chewing with your mouth closed to remain mannerly. Learn to self-soothe and adopt new ways of breathing. Mercury in Gemini is when you focus on your communication and that includes spoken language, body language, and intention. For the perfectionist that is Virgo, this may seem daunting. Better this way, as there is no other zodiac that sweats the details more than a Virgo.

Once the Virgo’s subconscious spirit feels confident in their newfound self, they can begin the transition to the external world. The Virgo’s most sacred place is their home space.

On the 8th day of May, Venus will enter Gemini. After all the work and seriousness, the Earth Goddess will begin to feel extremely flirtatious and outgoing. What does this mean for you, Virgo? Well, you have more space for new things now since you’ve decluttered. Go shop for daring new clothes that Virgo wouldn’t wear otherwise. Try new styles and new home decor. Take pictures and organize your social media layout too. When Venus enters Gemini the Virgo flourishes! People will flock to you because of your meticulous way of being and blooming energy.

The month of May is pretty smooth sailing for you. The triple threat of Saturn’s Retrograde, the Blood Moon, and Mercury Retrograde will never have the same effect on logically-controlled signs than with emotionally-ruled signs. With Saturn’s Retrograde on the 23rd, your energy may slow. During this time, you will want to bask in your home with a good book and a nice smelling candle. The Blood Moon will most likely come and go since you’ll be keeping to yourself indoors. Even though the Blood Moon is extremely penetrative, the organization that Virgo makes is no match to the unorderly way the world gets during a Lunar Eclipse. Lastly, say goodbye to the communicative and flirty sense you developed in the earlier days of Mercury’s stay in Gemini. This doesn't mean you have to throw away all your new fancy clothes, but it does mean that your focus is now back to its usual technicalities. Don’t put yourself down either for owning fashion that you feel is out of character for you, it was still a decision Virgo made during its most outgoing version of themselves.

Virgo, my perfect organized friend, you can be very scrutinizing of yourself and it’s important to understand that no one is perfect (yes, not even you). Don’t be mean to your soul Virgo. Love yourself, for you are the friend of the zodiacs and earth-keeper of this chaotic universe.
