Venus X Virgo 2021 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
July 28, 2021The purest love you’ve ever known, that’s Venus in Virgo.
On July 21st, 2021, the planet of how we love and what we value moved out of bold and passionate Leo and into practical and grounded Virgo, where she will stay until August 16th, 2021. This will be quite the shift as the Sun and Mars are still in the fiery Leo, perhaps all that Fire energy in the cosmos was begging for some Earth!
Virgo is the 6th sign of the Zodiac, ruled by Mercury, and together the two rule the 6th house, the “House of Health.”
Virgo aka the Virgin, is a mutable Earth sign. This means they are more flexible and adaptable especially when it comes to material or tangible things. Virgo is the natural born healer. If they keep their vessel clear, their body will talk to them. The pains or ailments that pop up in the body are actually stress, trauma and undealt with emotions and Virgo has a talent for listening to that.
There are two things I always say about Virgo: They have a secret super power of being able to take things apart, be it an idea, thought, emotion, person or actual thing and ground it down to make sense to themselves, because this is how they understand things, and to others. Virgo is here to make it make sense!
That being said, I also always refer to Virgo as the nitpicker 😉 They have extremely high standards of perfection, are very critical and extremely hard on themselves.
Virgo is also the helper, the live to be of services to others. Virgo operates best when things are clean, organized and not chaotic, this includes in their body and in their sacred spaces. The more simple and more minimalistic their environment is, the more they will thrive.
While Venus was in Leo, the theme was passion and inspiration. When she is in Virgo, there is a sense of devotion. Both Leo and Virgo are loyal signs, but Virgo brings a depth to this.
Because Virgo is known to have such high standards, this is actually a great transit for reevaluating your own worth.
Maybe take inventory of who and what you surround yourself with, are they truly here to support you on your journey to your highest and best self? We should feel inspired by self-reflection and release what isn’t working for us.
When it comes to our relationships, we will want to truly understand the dynamics of how they function. You will find yourself more drawn to people who aren’t toxic and don’t have any “dirty” habits. Venus in Virgo likes purity and this sounds like a healthy change! While this placement isn’t a “quick to fall in love or jump in the sack” placement, it does want to get to know you better. So maybe it isn’t the most open of placements, but if you peel back the layers, you reveal a very sensual and giving side.
The shadows of this transit can get a little . . . annoying (lol) if we don’t practice discernment. Virgo can be hyper critical. Please try not to fall trap of picking yourself apart especially in the self-worth department.
Try showing yourself compassion and honoring yourself by making decisions that are for your highest good.
Also, this is a good time for self-care, since Venus in Virgo is always worried about helping everyone else, especially a partner or children, don’t forget to take care of yourself too. Remember to use grounding practices to protect your energy: meditation, yoga, nature walks with no phone, Earthing, and breath work are all great and quick ways to find your center. Any sort of cleansing feels good too, whether you’re purging your home, doing a food cleanse or a media detox. . . this placement supports that!
Overall FireandLux fam, use Venus in Virgo as an opportunity for personal development. Nothing can be bad about wanting to improve yourself, your surroundings or your relationships! We always support healthy change!
