Virgo Weekly Horoscope - 12-June-2017 to 18-June-2017

Are you getting too fixated on results and appearances, Virgo? Curb your inner “goal getter” this week and make sure you’re adding the personal touch. On Thursday, June 15 the Gemini Sun in your tenth house of career gets checked by stern Saturn in your fourth house of feelings. You’ve heard the old expression, “It’s better to be respected than liked.” Well, Virgo, this week, you’d be wise to aim for success in both categories. Not at the expense of your values and vision, of course! But the members of Team Virgo may be feeling a little mutinous at the moment, especially if you’ve made too many unilateral (and downright bossy) decisions. To snap them back into action, adopt an inclusive approach. Let them know that their thoughts and opinions matter to you. Finesse the interpersonal dynamics by doing something nurturing, like ordering pizza for a staff meeting or taking your collaborator to lunch—and really listening to their feedback. Yes, all this might mean you have to sacrifice some control, which won’t be your favorite thing. But that is actually preferable to doing the whole job by your lonesome, and worse, alienating your squad in the process.

A woman you adore may require extra support—and this could take up a bit of time over the week. Are you missing your mom, sister, or a close female friend? Pack a bag or get the spare bedroom ready. A slumber party-style reunion will help bring you back to your center. Household issues that you’ve been too busy to deal with could become Mission: Critical. Getting the Virgo base camp in order is a must, as you need a restful sanctuary to retreat to after your demanding days at the office. Devote time to cleaning, organizing, and restocking, even if you have to hire someone to help for a few hours here and there.

Relationships come under the microscope starting Friday, June 16 when dreamy Neptune backstrokes into its annual five-month retrograde. Even if relationships have taken on a fairy-tale sheen, it’s important to wipe the pixie dust out of your eyes and clearly examine the state of these unions. How’s the balance of power, the flow of generosity? As the sign of service, you have a propensity for giving till it hurts. Pro tip: Pain is never a good thing in a partnership; in fact, overgiving can lead to resentment and passive aggressiveness. If things aren’t even close to equal, correct that between now and November 22. But first, do some unblinking internal reflection. Why ARE you doing so much for others? Is it about something deeper than simply caring, Virgo? And while you’re at it, look at the consequences of those actions. Do they make others appreciate you more? Sadly, not really. You CAN break this cycle. Start by saying no to anything that drains you—and work on being better at receiving. Saying yes to the kindness of others doesn’t make you weak or dependent on THEM!
