Virgo Monthly Horoscope

Virgo, July is all about your social life, friends, your social circle on Twitter, any clubs or teams you are involved with – and other groups. Trade unions, bands, members’ clubs, squadrons and the rest. You have a crossroads choice coming up, Virgo. It will happen as the Full Moon is at its fullest, or just before or after. This is Elvis Costello making choices about the Attractions. It’s Chrissie Hynde making decisions about the Pretenders. Former PM of Australia, Kevin Rudd, making choices about Labour. Nick Cave making choices about the Bad Seeds.

If you make a new friend now, this rather interesting man or woman could turn out to be of much importance in your life. It all depends on how much you are prepared to give to each other, in terms of time, tolerance and tact. The rules, though, are strict. Understand that you are at different stages of your lives, or at different points in your development – and accommodate that. It will feel political, familiar, be intimate (perhaps) or just oddly complicated.

A special phase in an old friendship can also begin now. Decision time! Even if you’ve been with this person for years, destiny will throw you together for a few weeks, so that you can join forces to sort out the politics. The real point of what you are both going through, is the friendship itself. Venus is the planet which rules public relations and international diplomacy. You’ll see why, in this cycle! It’s about people skill.

If you are already involved with a group, association, team, club or other network of people (like a regular yoga class, or a tight circle of friends) then you’ll need to give more time and energy to them now. Venus will remind you that you need each other, on the most basic level, to make progress now. It will be a stretch. Really hard work, actually. The Full Moon promises that, Virgo. What is now required is a combination of strength and sensitivity, telepathic understanding and clear communication. Most of all, though, the will. If you want this to work, you must work it.

Bonus July Tarot Card Reading

Virgo, your Lenormand card is Bear. A symbol of Winnie the Pooh and his assorted friends. Tigger and Eeyore. Owl. Some of them are just in his extended community. It may be the same for you.

It’s amazing how Venus teaches us about co-operation in this cycle. Just in case you think you’ve got the friendship or group sussed from the start, you’ll hit days when it’s blatantly obvious that you’re not all reading from the same page.

Your ruler Mercury is in the Eleventh House of friends and groups, along with the Sun and Venus. So, there will be negotiations and news, a signature given or exchanged. Virgo, take your time with July because you are setting yourself up for this time next year, actually. If you have anything in Aquarius in your natal chart, then July is essential for the crowd or the friendship. You may need external and impartial advice.

*Aries musician Elton John had this cycle on December 22nd, 2005, when he and partner David Furnish threw a party for a group of 700 friends after their civil partnership ceremony. Guests included Sting and Liz Hurley. So, the issue may be ‘Who is my friend?’ and ‘Who’s in the gang?’ We are also living through a pandemic, Virgo, so questions about masks, numbers, UV-C light, HEPA filters and the rest will prevail.

*Gemini musician Paul Weller had this cycle on 25th February 1977, when he and his bandmates in The Jam – Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler – signed a contract with Polydor. It was a slightly different cycle, so I can’t promise your fate will be quite as dramatically influenced, but you do need to be really conscious of any paperwork with the group now.
