Monthly Horoscope: Virgo, October 2022

The sun is in Venus-ruled Libra, a sign that knows all about the finer things in life, and you, dear Virgo, are focused on themes like money, luxury, your belongings, and security. A lovely gift may come your way as Venus in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries on October 1! Your wealth can grow and an energy of decadence and abundance flows! Though Jupiter is the planet of luck, it’s also the planet of exaggeration and extravagance, so try not to overspend. Moderation is key.

Your ruling planet Mercury ends its retrograde in your sign, Virgo, on October 2: You’re finding your words more easily and generally feeling ready to move forward with plans and discussions.

This alignment could mean connecting with a deep well of creative talent within yourself. You may be translating your heart’s passion into a work of art at this time. If you haven’t partied and let loose in a bit, this may also be an exciting moment to do so!
