Virgo April 2025

For in your eighth house of mutual resources and merging, both financial and sexual, you have:

Awesome Sun, giving pure life!

Your ruler brilliant-thinking Mercury (co-mingling between your eighth and seventh houses, in and out of retrograde)

Love and beauty planet Venus in retrograde

Your wounded healer asteroid Chiron

Enchanting, illusory Neptune as of Sunday, March 30 (until 2039)

And that dramatic Aries Solar Eclipse New Moon Saturday, March 29. This new Moon will actually be a great augur for success going into April.

What else does your eighth house rule?

Your eighth house, traditionally ruled by sexual and psychic Scorpio, covers these areas of your life:

Shared monies and mutual resources

Financial agreements and settlements, including trusts, inheritance, any type of legal settlement

Wills

Sex, death, and taxes

Mergers

Merging on a deeper and sexual level: Intimacy

Sharing your deepest truths

Death and rebirth

Sharing your toys: playing nice with others

Letting go of the past

Shedding an old persona

Clearing out outdated clothes, remnants of a past self

Healing

Regenerating

Recovering your unconscious

Summoning your psychic powers

Shared expenses and mutual resources are up for discussion right now, and I advise you to get your details straight. Put everything in writing.

Your love life goes more smoothly with Pluto finally out of your fifth house, never to return to its old chaotic state in your lifetime. Rife with sudden endings and abrupt changes, it frequently drove you crazy in the past as you frantically tried to figure things out. No more!

Saturn has been handing you burdensome lesson after burdensome lesson. So, you deserve a break now. A truce. A real rest.

Manage some deep housecleaning to dispel cobwebs and ancient fears. Design a ritual for yourself to make sure you keep it going. Best to dispel ancient fears on a daily basis. Pluto moved 4 months ago into Aquarius, set to remain for 20 years, and this month your sixth house is most affected. Your sixth house is the already-Virgo-ruled house of everyday rituals, daily chores, your health and work regimens, your furry family, and people you employ (personal assistants to trainers to cleaners to masseuses to plumbers…you get the idea.)

Your everyday ritual is, I believe, the most important area to focus on right now. I advise you not to ignore it. Pluto wants you to make deep sea-changes here and has horrible ways of reminding you if you forget, in spectacularly dramatic, sudden, streamlining, and often destructive forms.

Please include daily meditation in your everyday rituals. Your unceasingly active smart mind, that sometimes…can’t stop, is crying out for it. You torture yourself thinking and worrying. You’re a child of Mercury, the winged messenger who FLIES and is brilliant, ruling thought, but sometimes this is to excess. It’s brilliant, all right, and you always have the solutions to friends’ problems, but don’t you want it to stop sometimes? (You can, with daily meditation. It’s free and it’s online.)

Even if you’re not feeling it, even if you feel you haven’t received the proper recognition for it, you’re on top of your game, you’ve had tremendous success, and you have a lovely roof above your head. These are all worth staying healthy and alive – and yes, even untortured – for.

Your ruler brilliant Mercury is retrograde until April 7, bopping between your seventh and eighth houses all of March, causing cancellations, delays, miscommunications, all things missing and lost, and online and technology problems. All the more reason to take it easy – or you will scream with frustration – practice your meditation and go ZEN.

It’s a propitious time for you to connect with others work-wise. Work partnerships and mutual investments should be top priority. Saturday, April 12, there’s a beautiful full Libra Moon in your second money house which brings a financial resolution that will be, I predict, to your liking.

Work-wise, you’d like more validation. This will happen as we get into April.

But please stop being so hard on yourself and having such damagingly high expectations. Remember:

Perfect is the enemy of good.

And who knows better about perfection than Virgo?

So let it go now, dear Virgo, just let it go, and let yourself relax, and take a break. Soon you’ll be on holiday and resting comfortably and happily on your laurels.

Karmic Saturn is also about creating your masterpiece and your legacy. What will you choose this April that shapes your destiny? What do you want to leave behind? After you go, what will the world be left with? How do you wish to be remembered? Is there anything or anyone you’d like to take with you into the next lifetime?

All very serious questions. Saturn’s a serious planet.

Choose carefully and choose wisely. Rely on your experience and years and wisdom. On all that you have lived and on the lessons you have already learned.

Don’t act irrationally, nor impulsively.

You will make the right decision.
