The Sun defined by Astrology illuminates the personality and energy of the sign it currently resides in the most; while it feels the most comfortable at its home sign of Leo, our “life of the party” era has come to an end. As the Sun crossed the cosmic bridge, the spotlight was finally cast upon the practical, organized, and perfectionist Virgo season. 

What is Virgo Season?

The Sun, astrologically speaking, symbolizes everything we are trying to achieve or become. It is the center around which all of our activity in life will always revolve. The sun moved to the constellation of the mutable sign Virgo on August 22, 2024, at 7:55 AMP PST.  It is finally here, the constellation represented by the Maiden – generally plain-spoken, and down-to-earth Virgo season. As an Astrology enthusiast, I would describe this sign as grounded and tactful, and perfectionist. During this time we are bound to be responsible and strive to better ourselves, thanks to the Sun illuminating the mutable earth sign of Virgo. 

To help us navigate this season, let’s explore the key planetary transits shaping this time.

Planetary Transits

The season starts when the sun opposes both Saturn and eventually Neptune in Pisces and Gemini Mars will be squaring Neptune. This has a lot to do with our health in all aspects and we are asked to improve our habits and refine our routines to focus on the betterment of our bodies. Venus opposition Neptune can help us have creative breakthroughs but be wary of deceptive environments in close relationships. The closing of Mercury Retrograde will improve our communication and use of technologies during this time. Another defining transit would be Pluto returning to Capricorn asking us to take action and be mindful of societal issues. Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus this transit would have us looking for a different lens regarding provocative changes in our lives. Venus will meet up with the South Node in Early September allowing us to purge any unwanted relationships or feelings that weigh us down. Finally, Mars enters Cancer making us more protective of anything or anyone that reminds us or symbolizes our concept of home.

Love and Romance

Virgo is a sign that comes before Libra, the sign ruled by Venus and usually associated by love. Surprisingly Virgo can play a cupid’s arrow for these six zodiac signs. Like its fellow mutable sign Pisces, just like its element, can feel the waters of romance during this season. The sign will experience emotional breakthroughs and clearing past issues making way for deeper connections. Virgo the transits happening during your season will bring balance to your relationships and urges you to let go of imperfections so that a healthier love life could foster – less controlling more intimacy. Scorpio will experience deep emotional transformation as well during this time and your new profound wisdom may soften your relationships and make it sweeter. Taurus, in order to find or strengthen love during this time, the transits are asking you to let go of past traumas and it will help you have emotional healing. Cancer, this would be a period of emotional renewal, thanks to the incoming eclipse during this season. Capricorn, the final sign to this list, may be more vulnerable during this time making other people drawn to your energy.
