Virgo

24 Aug – 23 Sep

Date: Tuesday 5th May 2026

It might seem as though someone's using you for target practice. Sensitive to criticism you could then run for cover – possibly even using a legal threat. There's danger of travelling at too high a speed and happening to an accident as a result. On a positive note though: eyes could meet across a crowded room. The power of attraction could be very, very strong.

Date: Wednesday 6th May 2026

The arrival of new neighbours could provide you with an excuse for a small celebration. Another reason might be finally resolving a transport problem. Discovering that you've managed to get a message across (possibly even in another language) could bring increased confidence too. Yet more than all this, it could be a conversation that takes place in a kitchen that really lifts your spirits.

Date: Thursday 7th May 2026

Your thrift and waste management techniques are likely to put you in the spotlight. You might also be asked to help with packing or archiving. Curbing messy (or even chaotic) tendencies, is likely to be easy: the need to impress being the driving force. A potential problem could surface though: leaving you to read the small print of a contract really carefully.

Week: Sunday 3rd May – Saturday 9th May 2026

It is said that those of your sign are sensitive to the movements of the planets Mercury. Mercury orbits the Sun every 88 days and it might seem to others that you have a similar rhythm. At least four times every year, it might be concluded that you are running around in a circle. The circle that you begin this week as Mercury arrives in another of the Earth sign should have good pace as you should have a sense of what it is that you want to achieve over the next few years. True, there may still be so much paperwork to negotiate before you can realise a goal. It's probable that a Leo or Aquarius has your back. Perhaps they see how you run on adrenaline and how finely tuned your nervous system is. They know you need handrails and support. By Friday they could offer you timely practical advice. They might also manage to tap into your sense of humour. Once you can laugh at yourself, tension eases.
