Here’s What Virgo Season Means for You, According to Your Zodiac Sign

Virgo season has arrived, signaling the transition from summer to fall and marking a period of refinement, grounding and optimization.

On Aug. 22, the sun makes its debut in Virgo, where it will remain until Sept 22. Governed by methodical Mercury — the planet of communication, transportation, cognitive functioning and immediate surroundings — this celestial season encourages you to get organized and streamline routines, as there is a greater emphasis on meticulous details. 

Virgo is the second Earth sign in the zodiac and its Mutable modality brings forth the opportunity to be more flexible and adaptable in terms of productivity and day-to-day affairs. Whether organizing your workspace or revisiting your health and wellness routines, Virgo season is about making small but meaningful improvements.

On Aug. 28, after a period of reflection and inevitable hiccups, Mercury will station direct in Leo, bringing a renewed sense of clarity and confidence to your interactions. The fog lifts, which allows you to move forward with a clearer vision of what you want to express and how you want to express it.

On Aug. 29, love planet Venus returns to its domicile, Libra, where relationships and collaboration take center stage. This charming transit brings a sense of balance, harmony and cooperation, making the crisp fall weather all the more appropriate for cuffing season.

Uranus will station retrograde in Taurus on Sept. 1, prompting a period of introspection and revolution, as it is a time to re-assess the areas of life that have become stagnant. That same day, Pluto retrograde will re-enter Capricorn for the last time, urging the need to revisit previously set structures and your approach to themes of power and control.

The moon will renew itself in Virgo on Sept. 2, marking a potent time to set intentions related to health, wellness and daily routines. This lunar phase supports your desire to start fresh in areas where you seek more structure and efficiency.

On Sept. 4, Mars will slip into Cancer‘s sensitive waters, where the red planet isn’t necessarily “comfortable” per se, given its temperamental and inhibited expression. However, despite the lack of assertion brought on by this celestial transit, it’s a powerful time to take steps that support your emotional well-being.

Mercury will return to its sign of rulership (Virgo) on Sept. 9, signaling an opportunity for problem-solving, fine-tuning and handling day-to-day affairs. In this Earth sign, Mercury puts a magnifying glass on the details, urging you to read between the lines and prioritize productivity.

On Sept. 17, a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces kicks off the last eclipse season of the year and the beginning of a Virgo-Pisces eclipse story that will continue to develop between now and 2025. It marks a time to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace the intuitive wisdom that comes with it.
