When is the Virgo weekly horoscope updated?

The Virgo weekly briefing is updated every Monday morning, covering Monday through Sunday. It is hand-written editorial — not auto-generated.

What is the difference between a daily and a weekly horoscope?

A daily horoscope tracks the moon and shorter-cycle transits day-by-day. A weekly horoscope frames the longer arc — ingresses, retrograde stations, lunations — that shape an entire seven-day chapter. The weekly briefing for Virgo highlights what is moving in the sky and how it lands for Virgo specifically.

Virgo — This Week

Q: What transits affect Virgo this week?

Mercury in Taurus (May 3 – May 17): Mercury in Taurus slows communication down to something useful — words chosen carefully, ideas tested against the real world before they leave your mouth. This is a good time for decisions that need to last, for conversations that deserve more than a quick reply. New Moon in Taurus (May 15): The New Moon in Taurus on Friday invites a grounded reset — one rooted in the body, in comfort, and in what you genuinely value. Set intentions that feel earthy and real, not abstract; this lunation responds best to simple, honest desires. Mercury in Gemini (From May 17): Mercury arrives in its home sign of Gemini on Sunday, lifting the pace of thought and conversation after weeks of measured Taurus deliberation. The shift is subtle this weekend, but a new curiosity begins to stir.

✦ For Virgo

What this week is asking of you

Mercury in Taurus is moving through your ninth house this week — the house of belief, education, philosophy, and long-distance connections. Your ruling planet in an earth sign asks you to ground your ideas, test them against lived experience, and be willing to think more slowly than usual. Insight earned through patience, not speed.

The New Moon on Friday is in this same ninth house. This is a meaningful moment to set intentions around learning, travel, or expanding your understanding of something that matters to you. What subject, place, or perspective have you been circling without fully committing? This lunation supports a real beginning.

Mercury shifts into Gemini on Sunday and enters your tenth house, where career and public direction become more mentally activated over the coming weeks. This week belongs to the wider horizon. Let yourself look outward before the focus narrows back to work.
