As the sun makes its trip through the mutable earth sign Virgo, the heady, sweaty days of summer wind down. You might be squeezing in one last beach vacation or lazy day at the pool while simultaneously putting your nose to the grindstone on organization projects, fall cleaning and decorating or harvesting your garden. This juggling act and transition from one season to the next is very much in line with Virgo’s MO. The sign of the Maiden is known for its adaptability, acts of service, focus on wellness and self-improvement and ability to turn minutiae into pure magic.
Virgo is also ruled by Mercury, the planet that oversees communication, transportation and technology, so every Virgo season is wired to support a spike of cerebral energy. You could find that this time of year inspires vibrant conversations with friends and colleagues, new work projects that light your inner spark or research efforts that lead to pinpointing the best game plan for achieving long-term aspirations. And in 2025, Virgo season is supercharged to shake up your life, thanks to two dramatic eclipses. Here, all you need to know about Virgo season 2025 so you can make the most of it.
With temperatures soaring, the sun blazing and plenty of time left for last minute summer getaways, it’s hard to believe that we’re heading into Virgo season. But the sun’s trip through the sign of the Maiden kicks off with an intensely spiritual, game-changing lunar event—a Virgo new moon—that ushers in the second, life-altering eclipse season […]
When is Virgo season?
Every year, you can count on Virgo season to occur from approximately August 22-23 to September 22-23. In 2025, Virgo season will be in effect from August 22 to September 22.
What to expect during Virgo season
When the sun moves through Virgo, you can more readily get grounded, think in a pragmatic, organized way, make detailed lists of to-dos and get motivated to check them off one at a time, dive into healthy new routines or step up your existing ones. Virgo energy also encourages us to be of service to others, so you could be motivated to volunteer for a local nonprofit or even find new ways to support loved ones and friends.
People born under the sign of the Maiden are thoughtful, sensitive, analytical, communicative and like to channel their wisdom toward being of service to others. The industrious, precise and intuitive earth sign also excels at self-work, as they’re capable of examining the details we often lose sight of when staying focused on the big picture. That said, you might also be inspired to improve your own approach to mental and physical wellness — and figure out how you can improve the circumstances of people around you — during Virgo season. It also bears noting that the mutable earth sign is associated with the Sixth House of Daily Routine and Health.
And as the mutable sign of the earth group, Virgo is innately adaptable, capable of easily pivoting from one path to the next. They like to multitask and master one wheelhouse after the next. However, mutability does mean the Maiden is apt to struggle with indecision. This aspect of Virgo could mean that over the course of this season, you might find you can shift from plan A to plan B without much trouble, but it might take a bit more willpower and focus to get yourself across a specific finish line.
When back-to-school season moves in and our minds start wandering to plotting out autumn organization projects, yet most of the days are replete with warm sunshine, setting the stage for opportunities to squeeze in summer fun, it’s undeniably Virgo season. During this time, which falls annually between approximately August 22 to September 22, the sun […]
In 2025, Virgo season involves a surge of dreamy, spiritually-charged energy
When outer planets, which move super-slowly, connect, they set a tone for months — even years — for all of society. Just days after the sun goes into Virgo, Uranus, the planet of rebellion, in Gemini will form a friendly sextile to Neptune, the planet of mysticism, healing and spirituality, in Aries. This could supercharge vivid dreams, your intuition and your desire to do what you can to help others. Whether you’re actively exploring new ways to express your creativity or experiencing flashes of inspiration you’re not quite sure what to do with just yet, this can be an eye-opening transit.
Virgo season 2025 may lead to sudden, emotional change
Virgo season plays host to two of the four eclipses of 2025: a September 7 lunar eclipse and full moon in imaginative, empathic Pisces and a September 21 solar eclipse and new moon in Virgo. A particular narrative in your life has been playing out since last September, and these two supercharged lunar events serve to further that storyline. And, as with all eclipses, your job is to take your foot off the gas and see where the moment leads. As daunting as it can be to welcome in major shake-ups, you can generally trust that eclipse energy is catapulting you into the future you’re fated to live.
Pro-tip: If your sun or other major personal placements (such as your rising, moon, et al.) are in one of the mutable signs — that’s Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces — you’ll feel these eclipses more than other signs.
Here, how Virgo season 2025 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in yourbirth chart or by using thisCafeAstrology calculator.)
