Virgo season holds a special sentiment for many. It is a nostalgic time as summer ends and we start preparing for school. The smell of pencil shavings, crisp leaves falling from the trees, softness in the air, apple crisps, and amber sunsets rightfully hold a place in our hearts. If only the month ahead could be that serene.
The Sun’s ingress into Virgo on August 22 is intense this year. We start with a Black Moon in Virgo on August 23, the third new moon of four. This lunation urges us to revolutionize our lives and rebel against the norm. A few days later, Venus gets the ultimate romance experience upon entering Leo on August 25. Saturn retrograde moonwalks into Pisces on September 1, revisiting March to discuss the events that transpired. Mercury swings into Virgo on September 2, making communication articulate and clear.
Now, let’s get to the juicy part. Erratic Uranus in Gemini begins its yearly planetary backspin on September 6, urging us to reflect on how we want to grow. September 7’s total lunar eclipse in Pisces (AKA Blood Moon) heightens our emotions and intuition. This eclipse will reveal hidden matters — so don't overshare with others. Mercury moves into Libra on September 18, finding the middle ground for debating. Venus becomes toned down as it skips into Virgo on September 19, adding practicality to love and spending. September 21’s solar eclipse in Virgo is when the bubble bursts, because we’re ushering in change and letting go of the past. Mars swims in the deep waters of Scorpio on September 22, firing up our desires.
Aries
Although it may seem boring to someone as active as you, focusing on your well-being is essential during Virgo season. This is the best time to get doctor’s appointments out of the way and to shop for back-to-school looks while soaking up the last month of summer. As long as you pay attention to your schedule, you can pencil in one-on-one time with your bestie before the fall semester begins.
Taurus
Pour your energy into creativity. An outlet that allows you to honor your passions and talents is pivotal to your happiness. You’ll achieve greatness by doing what your Venusian sign was born to accomplish — writing poetry, making music, painting or drawing your heart out, and decorating your room with your unique aesthetic. As long as you portray your authentic style and own voice, you’ll thrive in the upcoming weeks.
Gemini
If you want to hibernate at home, ensure you have entertainment to keep you company. Your Mercurial mind requires stimulation 24/7, so watching anime or your favorite shows will get you going. Not only that, but your imagination will get in full gear, inspiring a new project when motivation strikes. With your can-do attitude, there is nothing you can’t achieve and accomplish when you’re feeling like the time is right.
Cancer
Luckily, you’re taking one last dip in the pool and luxuriating in the park before hitting the books. It’s been a nice vacation from reality, but now you must focus on scholastics. Hopefully, you’ll find a light academia outfit in your travels around town (check out old episodes of the Gilmore Girls for reference) that suits your educational aspirations. Dress the part with glamour magic to manifest your intellectual dreams.
Leo
For once in your life, you’re not down for drama. That means you won’t be partaking in hijinks with your squad or the end-of-summer parties (maybe one or two). Walking on the serious side of the street is part of your pre-fall prep. You want to wrap up all the seasonal tasks you took on. The only way to do so is to stick to your daily routine and iCal.
Virgo
It’s your time to thrive! With your season commencing, you will be ready to cut loose. The only caveat is that the saga of your relationship might stand in the way of you having fun. Put them on DND and spend time with your squad, who’ll be scheming to throw you the best birthday bash ever. You have better things to do than worry about a basic scrub. Drop mic!
Libra
Intuition can be a life changer if you listen to it. For the Libras that are unsure about your innate feelings, try journaling or discussing them with others. The more you let people you trust in and share your sentiments, the easier it’ll be to process and understand your emotions. Getting matters off your chest and talking them out is essential to existing without extra stress and unnecessary fear.
Scorpio
Magical thinking elevates your spirit and takes your visions to the next level. As a result, you yearn to learn new and novel ways to embrace your interest. For you, this is more than a hobby; it’s a passion. Before opting for mid endeavors, gamble on an older technique like rolling astrology dice to quench your thirst and need for insight. They’ll prove to be your favorite tool to use
Sagittarius
Brush up and update your LinkedIn account to improve your networking skills and get more views on the site. Even if your resume and experience is minimal, it’ll be worth the effort to be a part of the business world. You never know what opportunities or gigs you’ll secure or that will find you, so take the initiative and make it happen.
Capricorn
You might want to take a closer look at your course load and extracurriculars. Some of the subjects and clubs you signed up for in the spring may not align with your current objectives. Don't fret, Capricorn! Ask a teacher or guidance counselor to make the necessary changes that suit your needs. You should not overextend yourself this early in the year. Avoid burnout and try to chill this period.
Aquarius
You're brimming with power, pushing you to assert your opinions (even when unasked and unsolicited) into matters. Swerving into other people’s lanes is unlike you, but your confidence urges you to. As long as the intention is to help and you share your POVs with kindness, you should be able to share your thoughts without pushback. Proceed with compassion, tenderness, and respect to ensure you’re not stepping on anyone’s toes.
Pisces
You aren’t ready to say goodbye to your summer fling, and wish to carry on the 'ship. Just because you are going your separate ways doesn’t mean it has to end. Connect through FaceTime a few times a week and plan to meet up in the upcoming months to keep the awesome vibes in the partnership flowing. As the most romantic sign of the zodiac, you’re always open to love.
