Virgo Week of 8/11/24

As Chiron spins retrograde, you are in the midst of an important healing cycle. Make your mental health a priority. Chiron has been in Aries since 2018, inspiring you to unearth new layers of self—and, in the process, gain a closer understanding of your messier, more complex emotions. This week (and through the end of the year), old fears, triggers, and insecurities resurface related to intimate relationships. Vulnerability is a soothing balm. Rather than cling to what you know about yourself, embrace this opportunity to discover a new angle of selfhood. On Wednesday, when retrograding Mercury backslides into Leo, you find yourself analyzing deep-seated worries, anxieties, or thought patterns. Regressing doesn’t mean you’ve failed to make progress. Sometimes, you need to move backward so that you can eventually move forward with clarity. Allow yourself to temporarily revisit the past, make peace with it, and find closure.
