Welcome to 2021, Virgo. You made it through 2020, but damn are you exhausted. The chaotic year has taken a toll on all of us, but we all handle stress differently. You may have found yourself taking up your classic role as the healer of the zodiac. You've been diligent about social distancing and wearing PPE, and might've even volunteered to protect those at-risk for COVID-19. Some Virgos have gotten involved with anti-racism rallies or fundraisers, while others kept busy taking care of loved ones. While all of that is admirable, 2021 asks you to also focus on taking care of yourself. 

The first Mercury retrograde of the year occurs in Aquarius and your 6th House of Health, from Saturday, January 30 to Saturday, February 20. Be extra tender with yourself right now, Virgo. Try to get plenty of rest, and remember to hydrate. Even healers need healing. Because Mercury is your ruling planet, you are extra susceptible to its effects, including receiving texts from exes, experiencing miscommunications, and dealing with annoying travel delays. The communication planet goes retrograde again in Gemini from Saturday, May 29 to Tuesday, June 22, and in Libra from Monday, September 27 to Monday, October 18. Please pay extra attention to your mental health during these dates, and consider working with a therapist virtually if you aren't already. 

Your love life will benefit from having more free time and energy.

Revolutionary Uranus will be in Taurus all year, in your 9th House of Philosophy. The planet squares off with strict Saturn in Aquarius, in your 6th House of Health and Work, on Wednesday, February 17, again on Monday, June 14, and finally on Friday, December 24. This standoff between the two planets only occurs every 22 and a half years and signifies clashes of power between conservative politics and more progressive and modern thinking. The larger implications of these transits? As a whole, we will all continue to grapple with systemic racism and the fallout stemming from the pandemic. For the sign of Virgo, this cosmic clash shows you the areas of your life in which you are overextended, and when you won't erect boundaries, starts slashing away the extra food on your plate for you. 

In the end, this is a good thing, because your love life will benefit from having more free time and energy. Lucky Jupiter enters Pisces in your 7th House of Partnerships from Thursday, May 13 to Wednesday, July 28, scattering magic fairy dust all over your partnerships. This is a brilliant time to meet someone new or level up a relationship, and it's likely that many Virgos will become "official," move in with a partner, or even get discuss marriage during these dates. 

There is a lunar eclipse on Wednesday, May 26 in Sagittarius, a solar eclipse in Gemini on Thursday, June 10 a lunar eclipse on Friday, November 19 in Taurus, and a solar eclipse on Saturday, December 4 in Sagittarius. Write down all these dates in your planner, Virgo (we know you own one) because any eclipse can be dramatic and lead to sudden change. Play it safe by leaning into your hermit side and staying in. Of course, not all change is bad. In particular, the solar eclipse in Gemini, on Thursday, June 10, lights up your 10th House of Social Status, which governs your career. If you've been pushing for a raise, a new job, or to relocate, major professional shifts may occur around this date. 

So far your theme in 2021 is to set up boundaries and stop biting off more than you can chew. 

The sun enters Virgo, kicking off your season on Sunday, August 22. So far your theme in 2021 is to set up boundaries and stop biting off more than you can chew. Use your birthday season to let others take care of you, or if you don't like to make a big fuss about birthdays, simply relax. It's impossible to know how the pandemic will continue to affect our personal lives in 2021. So, at the very least, do what you can to amp up the self-care during your season and conserve your energy. The end of the year brings the possibility of drama, so you need to be well-rested. 

Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance goes retrograde on Sunday, December 19, in hardworking Capricorn and your 5th House of Pleasure. Whenever Venus goes retrograde, our love lives come under review. If you're in something that's not really working for you or your partner, be prepared to let go — and while letting go is healthy, it's also important to stress that breakups are hard and should not be downplayed. This isn't to say that all Virgos will experience the end of a relationship this year, but if it happens, it's important to feel the feels rather than sweep anything under the rug. Stay safe Virgo and see you next year!
