Release your inner vixen from captivity. Liberated Uranus turns retrograde in your seductive eighth house until December 13, deepening your connection to your own erotic powers. Ooh la la! The next five months can bring intense bonding, intimate exchanges, and even a secret rendezvous. Who needs Fifty Shades Of Grey when this energy is afoot? If you've been having trouble getting in the mood, it's time to do something about that already. Stress from your demanding life may be dampening your mojo or keeping you off the playing field. And while you may feel "fine" about it, life without lovin' is definitely missing an important dimension. Cue the Marvin Gaye and bring on the sexual healing. Rearrange your schedule so you have more time to relax and recharge. If you're juggling too many responsibilities (and when aren't you, Virgo?) delegate or hire an assistant. Time is money, and a few hours of help can free you up to do things that bring in bigger chunks of cash...or simply to enjoy the blissful experience of lounging in your lover's arms. If you're on the A.P. track, you might even take a class to amp up your powers of seduction. Try Sheila Kelly's S-Factor (sfactor.com) to pole-dance your way into communion with your own inner "erotic creature." Burlesque workshops, Nia dance, or other pleasure-focused exercise classes can get the sexy chi coursing through your veins. Coupled Virgos might enjoy doing a seminar together that focuses on the pleasure principle. Check out the work of David Deida, Alison Armstrong, or One Taste (onetaste.us). This Uranus retrograde may impact your investments and shared finances. You will feel the urge to break free from any confining arrangements or radically change the way you pool your resources. If you feel that it's time to pull out of an investment, follow your gut instincts. Better to be safe than sorry during this five-month Uranus phase. On the flip side, you may hit upon an inventive way to work collectively with a group of close friends or colleagues: a true win-win for all of you. Let your inner hippie take the helm with this communal pooling plan, which may involve bartering rather than exchanging cash. Holding any grudges, Virgo? On Sunday, your ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde in your house of completions, helping you deep dive into the emotions that are keeping you stuck in one place. Forgiveness is the theme of this Mercury retrograde, which can be hard for someone who is as sensitive as you are to personal insults and slights. Yet, you've held someone to a superhuman standard or allowed his insanity to throw you off your game. Use the next three weeks to deal and heal, whether that means sitting down for a heart-to-heart or working it out with a therapist's support.

General Characteristics of Virgo

Detail-oriented Virgo is ruled by Mercury, planet of the mind and communication. Virgos are always analyzing everything, forming opinions and judgments. On the outside, you seem sweet and innocent, but your quick mind never misses a detail. Virgo is also the sign of service, and you're always there when help is needed. You're an amazing, careful listener, and as a result, you give the best advice. You love to analyze everything! In fact, you can drive yourself crazy, because you never stop thinking. Virgo is a perfectionist who sees every flaw, and at times, you're a little too critical. Relax your mind by channeling it into a project, like solving a crossword puzzle, writing a story, or organizing your desk. As an earth sign, you love the outdoors, so chill out in nature, or try a sport like karate. Remember, it's easy for helpful Virgo to give, but harder for you to receive. Let your friends pitch in and support you, too! Try opening up a little more. You don't have to be perfect to be loveable. Just be yourself.
