We are heading firmly into Virgo Season on August 22nd, so be prepared to harness the energies of quiet power, inner strength, and productivity that come along with this sign.
If Leo season was bold and courageous, powerful, and extroverted, Virgo season is more about looking inward and understanding our connection to the entire Universe.
The Virgin, which represents Virgo symbolically, is linked to purity and wholeness and in that way, serves as a reminder that we too are whole.
We are innately complete, divine beings. We are an intrinsic part of the entire Universe.
We are made up of the same energy as the energy of source and our vibrational frequency impacts everything around us and everything that manifests in our lives.
This season is the perfect time to remind yourself of your innate power and connection to all that is.
It’s the perfect time to realign your actions with your dreams and be sure that you are taking steps towards creating the reality you truly desire.
Virgo energy is associated with independence, resourcefulness, and productivity.
It is about learning to be self-sufficient and ensuring that you can always rely on your inner resources.
Making time for self-care is important with this energy as is cultivating a deep knowing that everything you need is accessible within your own being.
The quiet, introspection typically associated with Virgo energy is certainly not weakness or shyness, but rather a steely inner strength that serves to guide and support you at your core.
The following are some key dates to bear in mind as we head through Virgo season towards the Autumn Equinox on September 22/23.
August 22nd – Sun in Virgo
Right after we experience the second Aquarius Full Moon, the sun enters Virgo. The energy may be pulling you to get organized, declutter and take stock of your inner and outer world.
August 29th – Mercury in Libra
Mercury is the ruling planet of Virgo related to communication, when it moves into Libra it brings up themes of fairness, diplomacy, and equality (all strong Libra associations).
September 6th – New Moon in Virgo
A powerful New Moon in Virgo calls us to confront inner wounds and work on healing our shadow aspects. It is a good time to work on releasing addictions, old habits, and behaviors.
We may also be feeling particularly energized and motivated due to the active energy of Mars and Uranus at this time.
September 10th – Venus in Scorpio
Scorpio is a deeply emotional and sensual water sign, so Venus’ placement here indicates energy that urges us to connect with our inner desires and emotions. You might be feeling particularly sensitive and vulnerable at this time.
September 14th – Mars in Libra
Mars energy is always strong, fearless, and productive and these qualities will certainly be present during the end of September and into October as it enters Libra and conjuncts the Sun.
The negative side of fiery Mars energy can mean intensity of emotions and potential release of pent-up anger, so finding balance and peace is key at this time, as well as watching your words and being aware that this masculine energy might trigger you.
September 20 – Full Moon in Pisces
Pisces is a gentle, dreamy sign and the Full Moon in this sign urges us to be quietly reflective and check in with our instincts.
It’s a beautiful time to release limiting beliefs, dissolve any blocks that stand between you and your abundance, and reinforce your connection with your highest self.
September 22nd/ 23rd – Equinox (Sun leaves Virgo and enters Libra)
To close out the season, we have the powerful Equinox – traditionally seen as a healing and harmonious time on Earth when the hours of light and dark are equal.
It’s a beautiful time to reflect as the energy in the outer world (in the Northern hemisphere) moves inwards as we roll into the beginnings of Fall and Winter.
Lastly, these are our top wellness tips for keeping grounded during Virgo Season:
Make sure you are maintaining a balance between your work and rest time.
This is the ideal time of year to really integrate the concept of filling your own well up first.
You need to take care of yourself, mind, body, and soul before you can actually be as productive as you desire and also help others effectively.
1. Get outside and walk in nature as much as possible. Fit something new into your routines such as a sunrise yoga class or a sunset hike.
Virgo energy loves to combine fresh air with physical movement and spiritual reinvigoration.
2. Utilize and work with crystals such as Moonstone and Amethyst to tap into the divine feminine and replenish your energies. Alternatively, connect with the upbeat, productive, and organizational Virgo vibe with Jasper and Citrine.
3. Boost your meditation or self-care rituals with essential oils such as Lavender or Jasmine. Whether it’s diffusing a blended oil or spraying directly around your home, the power of aromatherapy can really enhance your wellness habits.
You can even drop the oil into a warm bath or massage some into your own feet or temples.
Don’t dismiss these simple yet effective techniques!
When you incorporate these little extra moments into your day, you can shift any stagnant energy and really ground yourself into the moment, whatever else is going on in your life or the outer world.
