Virgo Monthly Love Horoscope

Let’s start with the good news, Virgo: The second half of November starts a course of steady improvements for your love life.The not-so-great part? You’ll have to weather some stormy skies for the first couple weeks of the month. Love planet Venus is finishing a six-week retrograde backspin, which has been complicated by your ruler Mercury also turning retrograde on October 24. Fortunately, both will correct course on November 13. You’re almost out of the woods!

Once retrograde season ends, you can get clear on what you truly value in a partner. With Venus powering forward in Libra and your stabilizing second house until December 4, you’ll want to invest in relationships that feel solid. Pamper yourself, plan a sensual night in or talk through shared goals. After that, Venus returns to your third house of communication, where flirty banter and heart-to-heart talks flow through the end of the year.

Meanwhile, passion planet Mars has been in its own low-power mode, drifting through Leo and your twelfth house of healing and closure since late September. Until November 25, while Mars completes this lap, you might feel more reflective than romantic. Use the time to release old relationship baggage and outdated beliefs about love. A secret crush could also simmer behind the scenes.

Then, the shift! On November 25, Mars charges into your sign, where it stays until February 2. Your confidence and sex appeal surge, so take the lead in love. Make a first move, plan a holiday festivity or ask for exactly what you want. Don’t be surprised if you go from feeling invisible to turning heads and lighting up the mistletoe hotspots!

The month closes out with some delicate feelings. On November 28, Venus locks into a tense opposition to wounded healer Chiron in Aries and your eighth house of intimacy. Fears about vulnerability could surface, possibly tied to a past betrayal. Chiron’s backspin (until January 6) can help you finally work through it. Remember that letting someone in doesn’t have to mean losing yourself.
