Youve been riding the wave of fun-in-the-sun summertime with Leo season for a while, but now its time to get down to business. Why? Because its Virgo season, baby.
From August 23 to September 22, Virgo season rules the astrological calendar But, ICYDK, it's just one of 12 astrological seasons that happen every year. Each one brings its own vibe into your life, and Virgo season is a **huge** departure from the carefree attitude that Leo season had going on (and that none other than J.Lo has been hyped about on IG ).
It's time to shift gears, y'all, because this season is all about buckling down and getting sh*t done. Donna Page , a certified astrologer in Atlanta, is here to explain it all.
Virgo is an Earth sign, which means its, well, grounded. As a whole, Virgos are known for being logical, practical, and organized in the way they approach life, Page says.
The same is true for Virgo season, so prepare yourself to have considerably less fun than you did during the most recent astrological seasons (sigh). Still, you will actually get stuff done, so theres that. Thanks to Virgo season's "back to school" vibes, the practical part of your brain will take over. All that laundry youve been putting off so you can hit the beach for the weekend? Folded. That work project youve been dragging your feet on since forever? Done.
This particular Virgo season also has a Mars- Venus dance going on, since both planets are in Virgo, Page explains. Venus classically represents the female side of life, while Mars classically represents the male side, so this can seriously impact the relationships in your lifeeven your relationship with yourself.
Virgo season can unleash your most productive selfjust don't let these bad work habits slow you down:
You may find yourself battling with your S.O. about basic, but nonetheless important, stuff, like who is going to take out the garbage and whether youre going to watch Mindhunter or Bachelor in Paradise on Monday nights (tough decision, I know).
At the same time, you might also be dealing with an internal struggle. "Mars makes you want to go out and get things done, while Venus makes you want to sit on the couch and binge-watch TV," Page says. "Venus wants things to come to her, and Mars wants to make things happen."
Clearly, you cant do both at once, so you might have to make little compromises with yourself. Think: lounging in bed watching a KUWTK marathon after hitting the gym. Thats fair, right?
Every zodiac sign will feel the pull of Virgo season, but it will impact Virgo and Pisces the most, Page says.
How will Virgo season affect the rest of your year?
Simply put, Virgo season is about crossing everything off your to-do list (no matter how long it might be), and thats never a bad thing. The changes you make during Virgo season can set you up for some serious success down the road.
Maybe your boss will suddenly realize you're the perfect candidate for a promotion, or itll be as simple as finally finding a compromise that ends the constant standoff you and your S.O. have over unloading the dishwasher.
Whatever it is, embracing Virgo season and using this time to figure out how to make your life run a little more efficiently can lead to some pretty sweet rewards down the road.
Whats the next zodiac season?
Next up is Libra season, which starts on September 23. During Libra season, youll be ready to pump the breaks a little on all that productivity and have more balance (read: fun) in your life.
Until then, go with the Virgo season vibes, and enjoy turning your to-do list into a to-done list. Itll feel so, so good.
