Here comes that love jones, Virgo, and the sweetest hangover to boot. Intense, mystical Pluto turns retrograde in your romance zone from Tuesday until September 18, making you long for a mind-body-soul connection. Light fluffy dalliances are not for you now, so keep your radar up for someone who shares your desire for an all-encompassing affair. Warning: you'll still have to monitor your moods throughout this Pluto cycle. Even if you're in the arms of The One, you may not realize how strong your energy is coming across. You could inadvertently pressure the object of your affections or send 'em running for cover if you let all hang out at once. This is not the time for serving up ultimatums or making epic demands of your romantic interest. Instead of pursuing or pushing, strengthen your powers of attraction. Draw people to you by getting centered in your power. Allow yourself to become obsessed with your own passions and dreams-that's what makes you sexy. Turns out, if you relax and just "be," you'll have all the attention you deserve. If you've known for a while that it's time to cut a toxic tie, now is the time to do so. You're better off being alone than pining for the wrong one. Remember: the way you feel when you're apart from someone is equally important as the way you feel when you're together. All the soulful, sexy encounters in the world add up to nothing if they are marbled with gut-wrenching, "Why hasn't he called yet?!" pockets of non-communication. Consistency and integrity are essential character traits for anyone who is going to play a starring role in your universe. Now, for the best news of the week: on Friday, fiery, go-getter Mars powers forward in Virgo until July 3, launching you into a stunningly successful stratosphere. Since January 23, you may have felt like you were walking on a treadmill or inching along a path that formerly felt like a speedway. Blame the slowdown on Mars, which has been retrograde (backward) since that day. You're back on the proverbial Autobahn again beginning Friday. It's going to be a hella busy summer, especially if you take more risks and leadership with your career

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.
