Virgo season starts on August 22nd or 23rd and ends on the autumn equinox. We may associate Virgo with fall because we associate September with fall. But regardless of what pumpkin-peddling Starbucks™ says, fall doesn’t start until September 22nd or 23rd. So Virgo is technically a summer sign. That being said, Virgo helps usher in that blessed autumnal season when the air is crisp, the nights are longer, and the bugs are dead.

9. Mercury In Retrograde Will Be Extra Intense

I’m sure you have heard all of your astro girlie friends drone on and on about how Mercury is in retrograde once again. When the tiny planet is in retrograde there could be a breakdown of communication, technology, and issues concerning travel. But what does that have to do with Virgo season? Well, Virgo is ruled by Mercury. And with the sun in Virgo and the mutable sign’s ruler in retrograde, you can expect people to be more critical with their communication and more anxious about travel. But thankfully, Mercury will station direct on August 28th.

8. Mercury Returns Home To Virgo

After a stressful retrograde, Mercury will move into Virgo on September 9th. Mercury governs our communicational skills and when it resides in Virgo, our speech is clear and insightful. At this time, there will be clear and concise communication. And we will desire order in our personal and professional lives.

7. The New Moon In Virgo Will Heighten Emotions

On September 2nd, both the sun and moon will be in Virgo, resulting in a new moon. At this time we will be ruled by our emotions, but in a positive way. Though we may feel the need to be practical and strong under this new moon, we will need to be kind and gentle with others as well as ourselves.

6. You Will Work Harder

Virgos are the powerhouse of the zodiac. They are known for their incredible work ethic. But when the sun is in Virgo and it shines down on us, we are all infused with a bit of the earth sign’s industriousness.

5. But You Will Burn Out Faster

Though we may feel extra enthusiastic about our work at this time, it’s important to take breaks. A laborious attitude is great, but if we work too long and hard we may burn ourselves out. Remember to practice self care and be gentle with yourself.

4. You Will Make Practical Decisions

Along with being one of the most hardworking signs, Virgo is also one of the most pragmatic. And during Virgo season, we all become a little more sensible and down-to-earth too. At this time, it’s important to trust your gut.

3. But You Will Overthink Those Decisions

Though Virgos are practical, they are also incredibly timid and over-critical. So while the sun is in Virgo we may feel a little anxious about the choices we make. It’s important that we trust our instincts and decision-making skills.

2. Virgos Will Be Particularly Energized

Sure, we all may feel a bit more lively and driven at this time. But no one will feel more enthusiastic or work more diligently than Virgos. During their season, Virgos are not only going to keep themselves busy with work, they may also feel more compelled to help their loved ones.

1. But Your Virgo Friends Will Still Need Your Support

This season Virgos are going to be ready, willing, and able to drop everything to take care of the ones they love. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t need a little love themselves. They can easily become overworked and distressed. Be sure to check in on your Virgo friends this season.
