As the passionate, spotlight-loving Leo season comes to an end, we enter the grounded, analytical Virgo territory.
The mutable earth sign is all about finding balance in your daily schedule, finding magic in the details, and gathering information and sharing it in an intentional, service-oriented way. It is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, transportation, and technology. As a result, it stands to reason that Virgo season coincides with the end of summer and the start of a new school year.
While the sun is in the sign of the maiden, you may be more enthusiastic about mundane tasks, such as organizing your space or updating your wardrobe in preparation for cooler weather. And, regardless of your love language, you may be inspired to offer acts of service and thoughtful gestures, such as a meaningful love note tucked into your partner’s pocket. It’s that time of year when you’re thankful for the little things, like watching the sunset or grilling with family.
Everything you need to know about Virgo season in 2023, including Virgo season dates and what to expect this Virgo season, is provided below.
When Does Virgo Season Start?
Virgo season begins on August 23 and ends on September 22, 2023. Virgo’s season, as the sixth sign of the zodiac, is associated with the sixth house of wellness and daily routine, and can help you reimagine your regular hustle in a way that will have you feeling more centered. The earth sign is all about self-improvement, and you may be inspired to use the sultry end of summer to push forward on your dreams by developing a game plan and then tackling it step by step.
Virgo Season: What to Expect in 2023
Although Virgo season is a good time to gather information to help you launch a new venture, you may also find yourself looking backward this year to tie up loose ends. Virgo season coincides with Mercury’s third retrograde of the year in 2023. From August 23 to September 15, the messenger planet will transit Virgo in reverse. This Virgo season, here’s what each sign can expect.
Feel free to read the following based on your astrological sign and/or rising sign as well.
Aries (March 20-April 19)
Because of the sun’s transit through your sixth house, Virgo season usually focuses your attention on daily tasks and your wellness routine. While it may not sound exciting, this time was designed for catching up on doctor’s appointments or researching gyms or yoga studios — and making time to care for yourself in this way can feel very productive and centering. When the new moon occurs on September 14, you should make changes to your daily routine to improve your inner balance. Just be aware that clarity is elusive right now, thanks to the moon’s opposition to rational thought-clouding Neptune and Mercury retrograde, so try to ease into this next chapter.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Virgo season is all about letting go of plans and preconceived notions about how things should go for you, Taurus. Because of the confident sun’s journey through your fifth house of romance and self-expression, you may be especially artistic and drawn to lighthearted, fun-loving activities. Whatever is on your mind right now, you’ll be inspired to share it in a carefree, playful manner. (Cue a lot of flirting.) When the new moon falls there on September 14, you can easily set a powerful intention to increase the joy and bliss in your love or creative life.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Virgo season brings your focus to your inner life and closest relationships, with the sun moving through your fourth house of home life. Spending quality time with your loved ones on an end-of-summer vacation, tending to your garden, or nesting in some other grounding way could be a top priority. This could be a bit out of the norm for you, because you’re usually zipping from one trip, event, or hangout to the next. But slowing down now can benefit your heart and mind — and also set you up to better cope with your ruler, messenger Mercury, retrograde in your fourth house (from Aug. 23 to Sept. 15).
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Prepare for a very social few weeks, Cancer. While the sun is in Virgo, it illuminates your third house of communication, nudging you out of your shell. Although you are a homebody, you will be encouraged to spend more time with friends, colleagues, and family due to numerous invitations to everything from happy hours to weekend trips. You may also be craving more intellectual stimulation than usual, so make it a point to read and watch books and movies you’ve been meaning to see, and then compare notes with your inner circle. The full moon in your ninth house of adventure falls around August 30, which may push you to step outside of your comfort zone.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The Virgo season focuses your attention on money and values, with your ruler, the confident sun, transiting through your second house of income. You’ve held the spotlight and prioritized pitching passion projects for the past four weeks, and now it’s your turn to turn what you’ve learned into cash flow. It might be time to bargain for a better price on a project you’re excited about but worried you’ve been underpaid for. Alternatively, you could request a meeting with a higher-up to discuss a potential raise. In either case, knowing your worth can help you get more of what you deserve. When the new moon falls in your second house on September 14, the stage is set for you to take a step in the right direction.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Virgo, welcome to your season! With the sun in your first house of self, you’re focused on how you present yourself in the world and pursuing big-picture goals that are close to your heart. You’re always thinking about ways to improve your personal brand, but this time of year is especially conducive to doing so. Around September 14, you’ll have your annual new moon, which is an excellent time to set a powerful intention and then take even one small step toward your dream. Just be aware that you may not be able to generate as much momentum right away due to Mercury retrograde in your first house (from August 23 to September 15). Review unfinished projects first, and then get started in October.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Because the confident sun is moving through your 12th house of spirituality and dreams, Libra, Virgo season may be a little sleepier for you than for others. You’re prone to daydreaming, devoting more time to meditation and mindfulness practices, and scheduling more alone time than usual. But it’s all for the greater good of gaining clarity on your goals when your season begins. Around September 14, your intuition will be even sharper than usual, so follow it and plant seeds that could bear fruit once your season begins later in the month.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
While you may have been focused on doing what it takes to gain professional recognition during Leo season, Virgo season shifts your attention to group projects as the confident sun moves through your 11th house of networking and friendship. You can more easily join forces with others during this time to make a shared vision a reality. This may be especially true around August 24, when one of your co-rulers, go-getter Mars, forms a harmonizing trine to your other co-ruler, transformative Pluto, in your third house of communication.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Although the Leo season may inspire you to step outside of your comfort zone more than usual, the Virgo season may see you putting your nose to the grindstone in order to advance professionally. Because the confident sun will be transiting your 10th house of career and public image, it will heighten your desire to put in the effort to be recognized. When the new moon falls there on September 14, you can get exceptionally clear on what you want to achieve and begin taking exciting steps in that direction. Perhaps you’ll want to polish your résumé or give a presentation that draws all eyes to you. And, thanks to Mercury’s messenger from August 23 to September 15, you can reassess big picture goals and set yourself up for even more success in the future.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
The Virgo season highlights your desire to escape your daily routine, Cap. Because the confident sun is transiting your ninth house of adventure and higher learning, any opportunity to spread your wings will feel especially rewarding. Just be aware that when messenger Mercury goes retrograde from Aug. 23 to Sept. 15, you may need to put long-distance travel plans on hold in order to focus on the more mundane details of daily life. Slowing down and listening to your gut over your head may be calming and preparing you to take a leap of faith.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Leo season shifted your focus to one-on-one relationships, forcing you to consider how much reciprocity exists between you and your significant other, best friend, or even a close colleague. Because of the confident sun moving through your eighth house of intimacy, you’ll be thinking about what you need to feel more comfortable and nurture intimacy within your closest bonds. You may be ready to commit to a whole new chapter in this area of your life around Sept. 14, when the new moon falls there — whether that’s starting a financial project with a business partner or becoming more emotionally vulnerable with someone you care deeply about.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
The confident sun moves through your seventh house of partnership during Virgo season, emphasizing your one-on-one relationships. Whether you and your SO are about to embark on a new adventure together or you’re working on a business proposal with a friend or colleague, you’ll feel more prepared and confident in your ability to succeed as part of a team. With messenger Mercury retrograde in the same sign, now is the time to finally address a long-standing issue with a significant other, friend, or colleague. There hasn’t been a better time all year to talk it out and chart a new path to healing.
