Venus enters Virgo

Venus crosses into Virgo on 9 July 2026 at 17:17 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Venus in Virgo operates through earth means and at a mutable tempo. Venus shifts what feels attractive, what feels worth paying for, and how affection gets expressed.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so for as long as Venus is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
