You’ve been surfing the wave of fun-in-the-sun summertime with Leo season for a while, but now it's time to kick things into high gear. Feel those back-to-school, get-your-life-organized vibes? It’s all thanks to Virgo season, which runs from August 23, 2024 to September 22, 2024.
Virgo signs are known for their organization and perfectionism, so expect to be on top of your game this month. You might get more organized at work to prep for a promotion, finally decide to apply for grad school, or maybe even evaluate your friend group and weed out the people who aren’t serving you anymore.
While Virgo season impacts every zodiac sign, Virgo and Pisces will feel it the most. Here’s everything coming your way this Virgo season, according to Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology.
Virgo season will push you to get a little more serious.
“Summer isn’t over yet, but the energy really starts to shift toward going back to school, going back to work, and really gearing up for fall,” Page says. Sure, buckling down after an epic summer might not sound super fun, but trust me, getting organized for the rest of the year is just what you need right now.
Mercury is also still in retrograde, which will make you rethink your personal status quo. Maybe you’ll return to your to-do list that you've been procrastinating all summer because you've been been distracted with social plans, or perhaps you want to revamp your health and workout routine.
Virgo season will also encourage you to rethink your workflow. Are you really bringing your A game—or even your B+ game—each and every day to the office? Or can you step things up a little? “If you’re not doing your best, is there anything else you can learn or study to improve yourself at work?” Page says. Once you figure it out, just do it—you’ll be proud that you did.
You'll also feel a (gentle) push to be a little more authentic in your day-to-day, courtesy of this astrological season, Page says. That means you might wear clothes that make you feel like your truest self, or take ukulele lessons just because the instrument speaks to you. Basically, you’ll lean into doing your own thing—and feeling fantastic while you're at it.
Expect to be a go-getter for the rest of the year.
Virgo season will encourage you to hone in on what's happening in your life and making a difference to those around you—this combo can have a big impact on your future. Maybe you'll start conversations about creating a composting program for your building or mentor a more junior employee at work.
Virgo season will also get you hooked on the idea of finding better ways to do everyday tasks, so you can be the best version of yourself possible. That may mean going to the gym before work or doing your best to actually eat that produce you bought at the local farmer’s market. It could also mean showing up and really buckling down when you get to work, or even looking for a new role that feels more like you.
Finally, doing your best to be true to yourself will help you to emerge happier and healthier. And, really, isn’t that what this is all about?
Happy Virgo season! Now get out there and get yours.
