Happy return of the sun to you, Virgo!
In honor of the sun moving into the mutable dirt of your sign, author and tarot reader Kerry Ward has prepared a tarot spread for your year ahead, featuring her The Light In The Dark Tarot & Oracle deck.
As an earth sign ruled by Mercury, planet of the mind and its messaging, Virgo is associated with precision, purification, acts of service, and the rituals of the body.
People born under these stars, read on to learn more about what the upcoming year holds in store.

Ward shared that the Two of Cups predicts a time of plenty, where your closest relationships will deepen and flourish.
“This is an era of love, romance, passion, and true bonding and fellowship for you. Virgos are givers, helpers, supporters, and you are a richly rewarding partner, friend, neighbour, colleague, and family member. People should feel lucky to have you, and this will be the case this year.”
She noted that Virgos will not only be seen and appreciated this year, but will have their generosity reciprocated.
“You feel ‘safe’ with your people, able to be vulnerable, and supported. You will likely fall (deeper) in love!”
The Eight of Cups is a summons to make your birthday wishes as much about clearing out as calling in.
“As you blow out the candle, blow these things (be they situations, chores, roles, relationships, or habits) out of your realm too. Clear away the dead wood and dead weight so that new energy, opportunity, and joy can find you,” said Ward.
Ward notes that the Knight of Coins appears when you’re at long last rewarded for your hard work and practical magic. While the reward may take myriad forms, it is proof positive of all you have endured, overcome, and delivered in spite of.
“You’re not an empty vessel, ratting loudly. You’re a full cup, a proven and capable person who does what they say they’ll do, on time, to standard and above. You are going to start getting your fair rewards for your work in 2025/6. Make sure you aim high.”
This Major Arcana card indicates pride, confidence, and well-being.
“Being happy and content in your own skin, in your own company, is life’s greatest gift, and this is where you’re heading. You have a lively mind, a deep soul, and a powerful conscience.”
Ward notes that Virgo folk can sometimes weigh themselves down with guilt, regret, shame, and other downward heliacal thought patterns. However, this is the year those cognitive habits can be forfeited in favor of research, new stimulus, comfort, and pleasure.
“Treat your mind like a valuable machine- needing maintenance and repair. Spend more time in solitude, enjoying reflection and meditation, and finding new ideas, imaginings, and insights to feast upon. Here’s to you!”
