Horoscope 2014 Virgo: OPPORTUNITES FOR VIRGO IN 2014

Virgo  is not regarded as one of the most famous socialisers of the zodiac and you may have been surprised how many people have been inviting you out to join them since Jupiter entered your solar eleventh house of friends and group activities on 26 June 2013. He’ll stay here until 16 Juny 2014, giving you a healthy appetite for partying and encouraging you to meet new and fascinating people, joining new circles as well as clubs, associations and shared-interest communities. Interestingly, Jupiter’s influence may include playing matchmaker as will be a few pals who want to help set you up with someone fantastic so going on singles events with those-who-are-looking may be on the agenda. If you’re a coupled-up Virgo this match-making quality may be more along business lines rather than romantic possibilities.  In any case, many of your more outspoken pals are holding up a loving mirror to your behaviour. If there’s anything you’re doing which is not in your best interests, they will bluntly let you know.  Of course, some people aren’t real friends, but remember that it takes real courage to criticise a pal’s actions though: family is forever, friends well…   Say yes, yes, yes to a wonderful social event on 18 June which will introduce you to those who will be in your life for a long time, one of them may be your future partner! You’ll also enjoy going out and having fun with friends on 6 May, too.

Then Jupiter slows the pace down as he enters your solar twelfth house of secrets on 16 July. Here for a year, you’ll get to fantasise and contemplate your next moves. Those of you who’ve met someone great through friends may want to go out less so you can spend more time curled up in private together. This 12-month period is also good for seeing a counsellor to help you with any emotional or psychological issues: they’re funny, kind but also blunt and will help you see the truth so much more easily. Or is there someone who needs your help? Pay it forward and help a loved one who’s not coping. Kindness and compassion are available in spades on 25 September, a beautiful day to spend quietly with someone you love. Your earlier assistance may be repaid with a surprise offer from someone influential in your company or industry or you may receive a sudden promotion, unaware that the VIPs have been doing due diligence on you. The end of the year from  8 December until 31 December 2014, could be the quietest time of all for you as Jupiter goes retrograde. Even if you’re in the middle of a crowd of thousands, you may feel, not unpleasantly, on your own. Take it easy now.


Horoscope 2014 Virgo: CHALLENGES FOR VIRGO IN 2014

Saturn has been in your solar third house of communication since 6 October 2012. He finally departs on 24 December 2014.  It’s back-to-school time – possibly literally! You’ve spent the last year learning or brushing up on any of the following: a language, new work skills, communication styles, sales, negotiation, marketing, the internet, blogging, websites, email, and social media. You’ll also notice the consequences of poorly worded, spelt or sent emails, text messages, letters, proposals, agreements and contracts. Many of you may be unnecessarily afraid of using, or having to learn how to use an iPad, mobile, laptop, printer, scanner, hard drive, GPS unit or wireless modem. Fear of looking “stupid” might be the least of consequences if you don’t learn how to use these devices now.

The third house rules education, teaching and lessons so most Virgoss, who have undergone two-thirds of Saturn’s visit here to date have been divided into two types of undergraduate students. One group is the “must-try-harder” bunch who consistently feel picked on, that they’re “always in trouble”, getting into strife for poorly worded, spelt or sent emails, text messages, letters, proposals, agreements and contracts principal, given an “F” for their style of communication or been negatively affected by their inability to use the internet or social media. The second group of Virgo began poorly in these areas, but really applied themselves and have been gaining gold stars for their consistent improvement.

It is quite common during this transit to feel surprisingly depressed, shy, fearful or insecure about what you think, write and/or say. However, at the end of his transit, you will develop a real depth of wisdom – you will just “know” the right thing to do. You might also discover you can benefit from learning a new language, improving your computer skills, or brushing up on your grammar and/or numeracy, for example. This is THE time to learn something useful.

Since the third house also rules siblings and the local community, you may be disappointed by your brother/s and sister/s or have uncomfortable moments with your disapproving neighbour/s. You can craft a beautifully worded love letter, a glamorous new business pitch or a project which inspires your peers on 24 May. You may receive – or make – a deeply romantic proposal on 13 November while others may have some news to share regarding the pitter-patter of little feet…

Saturn will go retrograde from 2 March to 20 July which suggests a period of miscommunication mishaps. Triple-check the wording on any contract!

Virgo Love and Relationships

If you are an analyst or a critic you must, out of necessity, narrow your scope. You have to focus on a part and not the whole; this can create a temporary narrow-mindedness. Virgos do not like this kind of person. They like their partners to be broad-minded, with depth and vision. Virgos seek to get this broad-minded quality from their partners, since they sometimes lack it themselves.

Virgos are perfectionists in love just as they are in other areas of life. They need partners who are tolerant, open-minded and easy-going. If you are in love with a Virgo do not waste time on impractical romantic gestures. Do practical and useful things for him or her – this is what will be appreciated and what will be done for you.

Virgos express their love through pragmatic and useful gestures, so do not be put off because your Virgo partner does not say ‘I love you’ day-in and day-out. Virgos are not that type. If they love you, they will demonstrate it in practical ways. They will always be there for you; they will show an interest in your health and finances; they will fix your sink or repair your video recorder. Virgos deem these actions to be superior to sending flowers, chocolates or Valentine cards.

In love affairs Virgos are not particularly passionate or spontaneous. If you are in love with a Virgo, do not take this personally. It does not mean that you are not alluring enough or that your Virgo partner does not love or like you. It is just the way Virgos are. What they lack in passion they make up for in dedication and loyalty.

Virgo Love Horoscope 2014 - Love and Relationship trends 2014

Romance—Far More Enchanting for You Than it Was in Previous Years

Now let's turn to matters of love, which will also bring cause for celebration! 
 
There is a reason to be optimistic, for you have one of the most powerful planets in the solar system—Pluto—in your solar sector of true love (fifth house). In 2008, Pluto arrived in your fifth house of true love to remain until 2024. You have never experienced Pluto here before—he has not been in Capricorn since the days of the American Revolution! Ever since Pluto arrived in your most romantic sector, you began to crave deeper passion and commitment in a romantic partner. Pluto wants all-or-nothing commitment, and you hoped to find that kind of love. Friends may have told you that you were unrealistic to expect this level of passion, but in fact, you can. Pluto would expect nothing less.
 
Love will come to you if you look for it! If you want a baby, you may conceive, adopt, or give birth this year, or hear very happy news about a child you have now.  Pluto will remain in Capricorn, your house of true love, for many years, ensuring that you are on a path of transformation, starting from the bottom up. 
 
Also in the first half, Jupiter will be in fellow aqua sign Cancer (until July 17) and supporting your every move. If you are in love and have found your one true love, travel will be a fine way to fan the fires of love and jumpstart a relationship that has become a tad dull and too predictable. If so, I recommend you travel in early May if possible—it's a time made in heaven for your love life.
 
Love and travel to exciting international locations go hand in hand in 2014, so consider taking a foreign trip abroad with your one-and-only. Go to a city new to you both—explore the world together! If you are in the US, keep in mind Canada and Mexico "count" as foreign, as do some of the beautiful islands close to your home if you're outside the US, so you need not go too far to be in a setting that is refreshing and good for you.
 
Now let's talk about Neptune. Over the last two years, you've hosted Neptune in your seventh house of closest relationships while it toured Pisces, but this is not an easy place to host Neptune. Neptune is the beautiful butterfly—the planet of inspiration and dreams—but it can be impossible to hold on to, and in a moment, the vision can vanish. Neptune opposed your Sun if you are born in first days of Virgo, a difficult placement, for Neptune is known to add confusion by tossing a veil over reality. That can be romantic, but  it can suggest that you never quite viewed your significant other in the true light of day. You may have built a lovely impression of your partner, only to find out later that you had created an idea or story around someone that was not real. Neptune can be inspirational and extremely romantic, so you may have assigned your partner all sorts of glowing attributes that he or she did not deserve, simply out of love (in a romantic relationship) or admiration (business).
 
If this is the way Neptune manifested life while touring your seventh house, now, you may have an awakening soon. It will be a slow process. Like water lapping against rocks that slowly wears down their jagged edges and create smooth, polished stones, it will take time. The disparity between how you wanted to see your partner and how you must view your partner now might be striking. At times over the past two years, you may have been happy to look the other way, to refuse to see flaws in your partner because it was simply too painful. You wanted to be supportive, so you may have made a litany of excuses for your partner. Or it may have been that you were being realistic, but your partner was the one who was not.
 
There was also a small possibility that substance abuse on the part of your significant other complicated your relationship. I never like to raise this possibility—it may not fit, so do not become anxious if you saw no evidence of this. Neptune rules alcohol and drugs, so this is only a possibility for some cases.
 
The seventh house, where Neptune is, is a house of commitment, so it is the prime marriage house, but it also rules promises made to a partner or collaborator in a business. (Please note: Commitment can be in terms of business, any special relationship you share with an expert, such as with your agent, manager, lawyer, publicist, or in a joint venture with a whole other company. I could have put part of this discussion in your business horoscope, but most, though not all, people feel this energy through marriage or any other type of solid, committed romantic relationship.)
 
Not everyone found Neptune in the seventh house difficult. Many Virgo are highly creative, and with Neptune here, you may have forged a fabulously successful partnership, alliance, or collaboration to tackle one or more highly creative assignments. You may have had a great writing partner, or if you are a photographer, you may have worked with a creative director on certain projects that dazzled. 
 
If you feel your partner stole the stars from the night sky and all your expectations of romantic love, it may take a long time to recover, but the point is, you can heal and move on. If you felt the collaboration you had with a partner on a creative project was exciting and stimulating, for instance one where you wrote the script for a movie or theatrical show, even though the alliance may soon end, all that you learned from each other will stay with you forever. You might decide to work together again in the future, but perhaps not in the way you had in the past. It's time to move on, to grow by experiencing new things and new relationships.
 
The difficulty arose because Neptune is the mythological guardian of the sea. The way Neptune works is to dissolve and cleanse slowly over time. This planet's basically watery association is anathema to your fiery Virgo element—you are ruled by the Mercury, the planet of thinking —but Neptune's waters in your seventh house (even though Virgo is an earth sign, as I just mentioned) may have brought one important individual, who, at times, completely doused your spirit as you dealt with him or her over time. I feel you will do better  in 2014 —you will see others more realistically.
 
Some marriages or partnerships will dissolve under the weight of the heavy snow that has built up on the roof that sheltered your relationship. 
 
Neptune sometimes manifests in terms of a need to sacrifice one's own needs for the betterment of another. Again, this may have worked in one of two ways. If this is how Neptune asserted its message in your seventh house, then you may have been glad to do so. If your partner was very ill, you did so joyfully and in a loving way. If you felt forced, however, you may have felt you were continually compromising your own needs and security for your partner's happiness, and although you did whatever was asked of you to ensure it, you may, over time, have felt that you were asked to give too much. 

Financial Horoscope for Virgo

Virgos have all the attitudes that create wealth. They are hard-working, industrious, efficient, organized, thrifty, productive and eager to serve. A developed Virgo is every employer’s dream. But until Virgos master some of the social graces of Libra they will not even come close to fulfilling their financial potential. Purity and perfectionism, if not handled correctly or gracefully, can be very trying to others. Friction in human relationships can be devastating not only to your pet projects but – indirectly – to your wallet as well.

Virgos are quite interested in their financial security. Being hard-working, they know the true value of money. They do not like to take risks with their money, preferring to save for their retirement or for a rainy day. Virgos usually make prudent, calculated investments that involve a minimum of risk. These investments and savings usually work out well, helping Virgos to achieve the financial security they seek. The rich or even not-so-rich Virgo also likes to help his or her friends in need.

Virgo Money Horoscope 2014 - Money Trends 2014

Advice for Managing Your Money in 2014 and Beyond

You will still have to be careful about money matters because Uranus will remain in your financial house until March 2019. Long trends like this are meant to help you change ingrained patterns and find new ways to protect yourself.
 
This planet of unanticipated events—Uranus—will begin a dispute with Pluto this coming year. Uranus will have his first argument with Pluto on April 21, and the other will occur on December 15, 2014, so it would not be wise to sign contracts near those dates.
 
 You need not wait until these two dates April 21 and December 15, 2014 come up, as these two planets are already close enough to "hear" one another now (in the mathematical sense). Uranus will be disputing with Pluto until March 2015. Don't freak out—compared with what you have been through in recent years, this trend will not be as severe. I cannot see everything in your chart, but from where I sit, this seems to be less difficult.
 
To cope, you will have to keep an eye on money you owe and pay on time. Take all financial responsibilities you accept seriously. You will always need to have a backup plan in place, as this trend will bring all sorts of ups and downs and holds the possibility for sudden reversals.
 
In your personal life, if you are married or living with someone, you might not want a joint checking account. You can have such an account to pay certain predetermined household expenses, but you may want to have a personal checking account, too. There are other possible examples of the types of problems you may face. If you regularly receive child support, conditions with your spouse could change suddenly, causing support payments to stop or become sporadic. If you are selling your house, realize that the buyer may not be able to qualify for a mortgage, so don't count your chickens before they hatch. With taxes, be honest and do not take risks—you could be audited at any point in the coming years, and you will have to defend decisions you make now.
 
Be alert and present in all financial dealings; it would not be wise to be absent when others make monetary decisions on your behalf. If you like, hire a trusted, reputable expert that you have vetted, such as a lawyer, accountant, or financial advisor. Ask questions and keep your guard up. Before you get married, know the credit score and tax situation of your lover, as unromantic as that might sound. If you let down your guard, you may wind up suffering losses. As one example, you may be forced to help pay off a large credit card debt or the taxes of your spouse. If you stay alert and practical, you should be able to avoid problems. I give you this advice because unpredictable Uranus will remain in your house of joint resources until 2019.

Stressful and Adverse Days for Financial Matters 
January 1 to January 31: the period Venus will retrograde. Avoid big financial decisions while Venus is retrograde, for Venus rules your second house of earned income. This house also rules large, expensive purchases—those are not favored either.

Career and Public Image for Virgo

Virgos reach their full potential when they can communicate their knowledge in such a way that others can understand it. In order to get their ideas across better, Virgos need to develop greater verbal skills and fewer judgemental ways of expressing themselves. Virgos look up to teachers and communicators; they like their bosses to be good communicators. Virgos will probably not respect a superior who is not their intellectual equal – no matter how much money or power that superior has. Virgos themselves like to be perceived by others as being educated and intellectual.

The natural humility of Virgos often inhibits them from fulfilling their great ambitions, from acquiring name and fame. Virgos should indulge in a little more self-promotion if they are going to reach their career goals. They need to push themselves with the same ardour that they would use to foster others.

At work Virgos like to stay active. They are willing to learn any type of job as long as it serves their ultimate goal of financial security. Virgos may change occupations several times during their professional lives, until they find the one they really enjoy. Virgos work well with other people, are not afraid to work hard and always fulfil their responsibilities.

Virgo Career Horoscope 2014

The Second Half of 2014: Jupiter in Leo Heralds a Time of Introspection—Preparation for Your Golden Cycle August 2015 to August 2016

In the second half of the year it would be  important to prepare for your important golden year, when Jupiter moves to Virgo in August 2015, which will herald a year of reward and good fortune. To get you ready, the universe has initiated a powerful period of relative quiet and calm. You need to think, revamp your priorities, and generally make a plan. You will have a year to do so, but don't sit back and think, "I'll get to it eventually" because time moves quickly and you'll be distracted by many career events taking place all year.

 

In the second half of the 2014, you will likely see certain elements of your life swept away. This is a clearing out of the clutter and debris that you have built up since your last Jupiter-in-Leo visit from mid-2002 to mid-2003. Some of the things taken away may no longer interest you, but a few will be elements—people, projects, even possessions—that form the foundation of your present life. At first, you may be alarmed, but there is no need to feel that way. You life is about to become revitalized from the bottom up. It is the way of Jupiter to empty your basket now (July 2014 to August 2015) so that it can be filled with newer and better goodies next year. You may feel you need what is being taken away, but you don't. You will see the truth of this later. Have faith in the wisdom of the universe. 

Saturn will be in Scorpio and your third house of thinking and contractual matters. You may be working on a writing or speaking project, or a current work may be translated into other languages at this time. There are other kinds of languages—your new assignments may involve computer language—and you may be coding software or an app. Virgo often enjoys writing, so you might begin research or actual work on a book or thesis, and if so, that would be an excellent choice, for you'd give your venture all the concentration it deserves. Saturn in Scorpio  is in what is called a "mutual reception" with Pluto, meaning Pluto and Saturn will buddy up like two best friends, and help you bring a creative project into being, and it will be one that has fantastic profit potential.
