This earth sign is a perfectionist at heart and isn’t afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent practice. Virgo rules the digestive system, which makes these earth signs especially attuned to the ingredients that make up a whole—in food and in everything else. They’re hyper-aware of every detail and want everything perfect and well organized which can be a fault however, if you if you need that in your life then Virgo can be a great asset to you!
The earth sign is all about self-improvement, and you could be inspired to use the sultry tail end of summer to push forward on your dreams by mapping out a game plan and then tackling it step by step. As such, it makes perfect sense that Virgo season encompasses the end of summer and the start of a new school year.
While it’s Virgo season, you could be more enthusiastic about everyday tasks, whether that’s organizing your space or refreshing your wardrobe ahead of cooler weather. And no matter what your love language is, you could find yourself inspired to offer acts of service and thoughtful gestures during Virgo season. Bottom line: Virgo season is a time of year that makes you feel grateful for simple pleasures, like watching the sunset to grilling with family on Labor Day.
When Virgo season begins, mercury retrograde will still be happening. This astronomical event will encourage you to look back and tie up loose ends on your everyday hustle, your overall wellness, or how you’re gathering information and sharing it with others. Heads-up: because Mercury retrograde is in Virgo, a sign ruled by the planet of communication itself, it could lead to even more miscommunications, transportation delays, and technology glitches. Thankfully, when mercury goes direct on August 28th, this should come to an end but keep in mind there is still a shadow of mercury retrograde for 2 days – 2 weeks after mercury goes direct!
On September 1st, Uranus retrograde begins which can cause you to be inspired to think differently about a particular area of your life in a more internal, psychological way. Concentrate on transformative powers toward your professional advancement, relationships with authority, and the practical game plans you’ve been working on for a while now. Although Virgo season is a good time for gathering information that will help you launch a new endeavor, you may also find yourself looking backward to tie up loose ends and to embrace major, emotionally-charged changes.
Virgos, this is your moment to shine! The stars are aligning in your favor to help you reach your hopes, dreams, and goals. However, be cautious of negative self-talk or self-sabotage. Stay strong and focused, grounded and consistently be aware of cutting negative cords such as self-doubt and fear. Rember the only thing you have to fear is fear itself!
