Virgo Monthly Horoscope

Tactics and Strategy in July

Everything about July and in fact, the rest of 2024, is tactics and strategy, Virgo. The New Moon in Cancer and Full Moon in Capricorn, ahead, is a huge part of that. You are going to learn a lot as the Sun changes signs at the end of the month to Leo. What sinks in, will help you all year. What I am seeing in your chart is a lot of action in your opposite sign of Pisces, which means you have to box clever. You can be pre-emptive this year, for example, and remove any potential for an issue with people, before it ever develops.

This is an excellent time to figure out strategies and first moves and get far ahead of the game. You are a superb tactical and methodical thinker, and now is the time. It doesn’t matter if the issue is friends, groups (ruled by Cancer in your chart) or – lovers, partners, children. This is the month to play it all like chess.

You currently have Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, opposite your sign, in your Seventh House of unbalanced scales – that need balancing. The British astrologer Margaret Hone wrote: ‘The dubious nature of much that is Piscean is reflected in the expression that the possibility of treachery or deceit is termed – ‘something fishy.’

It’s plain to detect when something fishy is going on, and you’ll smell the whiff anyway. You’ll be one step ahead. Three, even. This has been going on all year, Virgo, but it’s more obvious in July.

You are ruled by Mercury who is quick and clever, which is why 2024 is all about outsmarting others – when you have to. Yes, you have to plot and plan. Why? Because others are, too. Your great achievement will be to outsmart and outwit anyone you need to. You’ll then figure out the rest, your own way, and remember – you are a Virgo! (The scheduler of astrology).

Depending on your birthday, you may even have Neptune in opposition to your Sun. That’s rare. Debbi Kempton-Smith, whose book Secrets from a Stargazer’s Notebook is literally in five pieces in my study (from over-use) suggests, “Down with confusion! Slay the dragons of Neptune and get hip to the trip of consciousness!’

This is a really good way to describe her/him/them – but also yourself. No matter what your chart looks like, as you swim through these oppositions from Neptune and Saturn, keep your mask clear and your vision straight.

Remember, Neptune rules Pisces, those fishy creatures who are so hard to see (just like the real thing, swimming around at the bottom of the ocean). If ever there was a year to wake up, look sharp and get moving, it’s 2024. As you deal with your second Full Moon in mere weeks, in your sector of parenthood, younger generations, sexual relationships, the dating game (all the personal stuff) it’s time.
