The Week Ahead for Virgo
Monday, May 18th – Sunday, May 24th
Have you been practicing your balance? Both in the real sense and the metaphorical you’ll need to stay centred this week. The Sun and Mercury conjoin Uranus which spells change of the unexpected kind, especially if you have a September birthday or planets and points between zero and five degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius. Think about what needs to change in your life and allow the planetary momentum to help you make a courageous decision. Uranus is the planet of technology so you’ll also need to build in the unexpected in regard to digital appliances and the information highway.
Don’t dig your heels in.

Monday, May 11th – Sunday, May 17th
You may think you’ve had enough change to last a lifetime, but when Uranus makes contact, you have little choice in the matter. Especially if you are an August Virgo or have personal planets or points in the first three degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius, the ground beneath your feet is beginning to shift. This may mean that something that has been stuck is about to move or it could signal an unexpected fissure in a long-standing relationship or situation. There is nothing to fear but being open to last moment changes or a new status quo will help you turn a potential obstacle into an opportunity.

The Month Ahead for Virgo
May 2026
You don’t have to travel to a far-off place to get a new perspective on life, but it is one way of distancing yourself from stressful situations and rebooting your optimism and resolve. This part of the year is about rising above it all and focusing on those things that lift your spirits. A contract could be ready to sign or you could be completing a course that will enhance your CV and open up new pathways. Even in a small way, getting out of your comfort zone will do great things. Not that May is the smoothest month on record and the unexpected and the unusual are in plentiful supply.

The Year Ahead for Virgo
2026 is a year of golden opportunities – make the most of events on or near 18 July and 4 November – and while you can learn from the past, you don’t want to live there. Under 2026’s powerful alignments, your happiness lies in going after what (or who) you believe in, even if it means throwing up a piece of your past and entering foreign territory. From July, Jupiter will be moving through the twelfth house in preparation for its transit of Virgo from summer 2027. In tandem, you will be in a period of preparation. Not only are health and fitness important issues to get behind, but the endeavours you begin in the second half of 2026 will take a year to mature.
