Virgo(♍︎) Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area on average between August 23 and September 22, and the Sun transits the constellation Virgo from approximately September 16 to October 30.
The mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. It’s is symbolised by the maiden. Based on Astraea, in Greek mythology, she was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus – hence the sign’s association with Earth.
The maiden or virginity of Virgo ties to the sign’s dedication to purity and service. Astrea (mother of Hecate). In Greek mythology, Astrea, the goddess of justice and innocence, purity. Her name means star, wept when she looked up and realized there were not enough stars in the sky. Her tears fell to the earth and transformed into the beautiful, star-shaped aster flowers. Because of their mythological roots, asters symbolize pure love, faith, wisdom, and patience. Astrea was the virgin goddess of justice, innocence, and purity. She lived on Earth during the Golden Age but eventually left because of the growing wickedness of mankind. Upon leaving, she was placed in the sky as The constellation Virgo.

Virgo season arrives as summer begins transitioning to autumn. As is a mutable sign, it helps us transition from one season to the other. So there’s a mental and physical flexibility and dynamism to Virgo—just like fellow Mercury-ruled sign Gemini.

It’s Virgo season, the final zodiac sign of the summer, from around August 23 to September 22, marks a departure from the warm glow/radiant abundance of Leo season, Virgo leads us away from the wild, hot lazy hazy crazy days of summer and up to the crisp edge of autumn.
After a month in a creative, fire sign, Virgo season gives us the chance to come back down to earth a little quieter and more attuned to the everyday material reality of the world we’re living in.

It’s ruling planet, Mercury Virgo is often associated with precision, critical thinking, communication, intellect, and travel and is also associated with the sign of Gemini where Mercury manifests as quick-thinking, chatty, and dynamic energy. Virgo, however, is an earth sign, so it speaks to Mercury’s more self-contained energy.
Virgo’s job, with the help of Mercury, is to sort through the harvest—essentially separating what’s necessary from what’s not, the wheat from the chaff. Hence Virgos are often known as the editors of the zodiac.
Fundamentally, Virgo’s careful practicality is a way of engaging with the world honestly, without ignoring the facts that are painful, or neglecting the tasks that are inconvenient.
Virgo’s conscientiousness isn’t always quiet and undramatic, it’s also brave.
Virgo is also one of the zodiac’s four mutable signs — adaptable, constantly evolving, and unafraid of change. In Virgo, you have special support for changes in your service, and how you support health for yourself or others.
As an earth sign, Virgo is closely connected with the body. Unlike Taurus, It isn’t primarily sensual or hedonistic; Virgo, is focused on health and care and living a good life inside this human form.
Virgo season is about treating your body respectfully — by eating foods that make you feel stronger, or exercising just enough to steady your mind, or finally making that doctor’s appointment you’ve been avoiding, or just getting enough sleep. This is a time to care for yourself the same way you would for a friend you really love.
Virgo combines a natural affinity for the physical and practical with a sharp intellectual streak. After all, it’s ruled by Mercury, (&Chiron) the planet of thought, curiosity, and communication. It’s not an abstract or unfocused kind of braininess, but an energy that’s analytic, observant, and grounded in the physical world.
Virgo tends to be stereotyped as the fussiest of the zodiac signs, hyper-critical and detail-oriented to the point of perfectionism. They notice what others might ignore, and care about doing everything correctly, down to the smallest detail. Other signs might be content to haphazardly throw a project together, call the result good enough, and move on, but Virgo won’t be satisfied until it’s been done right. To some, this meticulousness can come across as frustrating, nitpicking pettiness, but it’s hard to deny that the results can be breath-taking
Virgos are so bent on serving to the best of their abilities, avoiding errors, and triple-checking their work that they can forget to have fun. All of that perfectionism can be tiring! But remember that it’s OK to make mistakes from time to time, and relaxation is an essential form of self-care.
When they do remind themselves to let loose, though, Virgos are typically a blast—with mercurial wit, dry humor, and a bit of a wild side.
Virgos grounding spirit (its opposite sign in the zodiac Pisces) into body, earthing it!
Pisces Virgo axis Pisces is the spiritual realm, the formless realm on the other side of the veil, the mystical realm opposite of that Virgo Earth Priestess Wisdom: Grounding Spirit into the Body. So the Virgo energy wants to ground in the spiritual wisdom. So you can see Why Virgo wants to be so perfect and so pure and wants to get it so right. Virgo is driven by high voltage mystic.
Virgo is also known for being fussy, it’s real aim is the intelligent flow of energy. To streamline is divine. When things are in order, healing happens much more easily. And so does success.
Now that Leo season is reaching its end, prepare for a reality check: Virgo season is upon us. In late August, the Sun moves from lustrous, fiery Leo to practical, down-to-earth Virgo. Those born under the mutable sign of Virgo are known for being methodical quick-thinkers who have mastered the art of rising to the occasion.
During Virgo season, embrace the sign’s qualities. In tandem with fall’s cooling temperatures, Virgo season may ask you to simmer down and reflect on what’s happening in your life. Now’s a chance to work on making relationships and situations better—and if you can use the stars as a catalyst for change, then Virgo will smile on you.
When Virgo wants to make something happen, it manifests an almost superhuman capacity to work until it is so. The Virgo characteristic is legendary—we don’t call this Beyoncé Season for nothing.
As the last part of August and the first part of September unfold, the sun, work and how we do ours will become a major focus in our lives.
The sun creates a relationship with Uranus, planet of innovation; Saturn, planet of discipline; and Pluto, planet of transformation. This set-up encourages us all to work in ways that are efficient and sustainable—so the the long-lasting changes we need to make can take place.
