This Virgo Season Is Not Messing Around

The days are getting shorter, the summer heat is waning, and work is starting to pick up pace. Look to the stars and you'll see the reason why: It’s officially Virgo season. And that means the energy has shifted from a cosmic pool party to back-to-school season. You can almost smell pencil shavings in the air.As an earth sign, Virgo is all about practicality, logic, wellness, and day-to-day routine. Every zodiac sign will notice these grounded vibes while the Sun moves through Virgo from August 22 to September 22. Think working longer hours, going to bed earlier, and kicking unhealthy habits. Virgos, as well as fellow earth signs Capricorn and Taurus, will notice this influence the most.Every Virgo season has a similar pragmatic energy, but this year, there are a few extra things to look out for. The beginning of Virgo season coincides with the end of eclipse season, giving the first week or so a more-hectic-than-usual kind of energy, especially around the lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28. Then, on September 10, Venus enters Scorpio and Mercury enters Libra—yes, on the same day. This gives the last few weeks of Virgo season a dash of Scorpio intensity and a dollop of Libra flirtation.Of course, all this astrology will affect each sign differently.
