Happy new year, Virgo. 2023 brings a slew of retrogrades from your infamous ruling planet, Mercury, not to mention many powerful full moons. But fear not, you’ve survived tricky astrological transits before, and overall, this year sees you evolving into a happier and more secure version of your already fabulous self.
Let’s go ahead and take note of this year’s Mercury retrogrades. When 2023 kicks off, your ruling planet, Mercury, is still in its often frustrating backward dance. It goes direct on Wednesday, January 18. So if the first days of the year feel chaotic, remember that you’re not the only one catching up on emails, and it’s okay to move at your own pace. Mercury is also retrograde from Friday, April 21, to Sunday, May 18, Wednesday, August 23, to Friday, September 15, and Wednesday, December 13, through Monday, January 1, 2024. Mark these in your calendar, and keep them in mind when reading the rest of your yearly horoscope.
While we can’t schedule every meaningful conversation around your ruling planet, when Mercury comes home to your sign, Virgo, on Friday, July 28, it’s the best time of the year to handle tough conversations, as communication flows like water. Another noteworthy time of year is your season, which starts on Wednesday, August 23, and runs through Saturday, September 23. Whenever the sun or your ruling planet is in your sign, you can rest easy knowing the stars have your back. But what about the moon?
A full moon in your sign, Virgo, on Tuesday, March 7, marks a culmination and finally puts an ongoing issue to rest, whether it is a professional negotiation or a petty argument with a partner. Then, there’s a new moon in your sign on Thursday, September 14, which marks the start of a new cycle. Around this time, you make new friends, go on adventures with your romantic partner, or begin a creative project. Keep reading to see what the stars have in store for you in your love life, friendships, career, and health.

You’ve been warned: The first few weeks of 2022 may present some communication mishaps or appearance of exes, as your ruling planet, Mercury, is retrograde until Wednesday, January 18. However, once it’s direct, you can expect romance to flow more leisurely, and when Mercury enters dreamy Pisces and your 7th House of Pleasure on Thursday, March 2, love isn’t easy; it’s fabulous. That’s why ignoring any exes that reemerge during Mercury’s backward dance is important. They’re exes for a reason, and you don’t want them in the way of your future happiness.
