How you experience pleasure, take in and create beauty, relate to others and nurture heartfelt bonds and bring in your bottom line are all fueled by one of the luckiest planets: Venus, the planet of romance. And your relationships, style, income-earning and more are about to undergo a celestial shift as Venus moves through Virgo, the mutable earth sign. Since August 25, Venus has been in Leo, bringing a luxury-loving, charismatic, theatrical, assertive, driven and, at times, obstinate vibe to the areas of life it oversees. But from Friday, September 19 at 8:39 a.m. ET/5:39 a.m. PT to Monday, October 13 at 5:19 p.m. ET/2:19 p.m. PT, Venus’ latest trip through the sign of the Maiden will make it possible to connect with others and express yourself creatively in a more practical, grounded, service-oriented, intuitive and analytical way. You can take a more cerebral, detail-focused approach to the aspects of life Venus oversees.
Here, all you need to know to make the most of Venus in Virgo 2025.
What’s the meaning of Venus in Virgo?
In astrology, Venus oversees relationships, beauty, pleasure, values and money, and annually, in August, September and/or October (depending on a retrograde, like we last had in the spring), the planet makes its way through Virgo, the sixth sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Maiden. When Venus is in Virgo, we’re all more likely to adopt the “acts of service” love language and to bring a more meticulous, grounded, analytical and cerebral approach to love, beauty, earning and artistic self-expression.
While Venus moves through Virgo, you can show loved ones how much you care by taking on everyday tasks (from the dishes to running key errands) or devoting a good amount of time to researching an ideal date night spot or party venue. Virgo knows better than any sign that everyday to-dos and mundane information-gathering keep life moving smoothly and may even preempt unnecessary headaches.
Virgo is also a big fan of thought-provoking conversation and heartfelt, well-written emails or texts, so you can prepare to feel even more connected to someone you adore or your social circle. That’s thanks to Virgo’s ruling planet, Mercury, which colors how you think, share what’s on your mind, take in and analyze information and make decisions. Mercury’s influence causes Virgo’s nature to be highly cerebral, communicative, honed in on the magical details of everyday life, service-oriented, sensitive and health-conscious. In turn, we will all be more apt to want to be helpful and to show up for our nearest and dearest while Venus travels through Virgo.
As one of the mutable signs (the others being Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces), Virgo is typically quite capable of pivoting and adapting more readily than other signs. At the same time, they do struggle with indecisiveness and, particularly in the Maiden’s case, tendency to overthink, which could also color how we relate to others, perceive beauty, understand our values and otherwise experience Venus’ influence now.
It does bear noting, however, that when Venus enters Virgo, it’s considered to be in its fall, where it is challenged and struggles to do its work. Venus, as a planet in astrology, prioritizes peace, harmony, beauty and relationships while Virgo’s strengths include rational thought, being analytical and focusing on self-improvement — traits that aren’t quite aligned with planet of love’s emphasis on connection and companionship. But all this means is that you have the opportunity to get thoughtful and innovative to make the most of Venus during this season. It can also help to embrace a Virgoan lesson and strive to trust your inner voice.
What can you expect during Venus in Virgo 2025
Although Venus moves through Virgo annually, all of the planets move at different rates through the zodiac, so the relationship-oriented planet’s meetups with other celestial bodies changes from year to year. A few must-knows in 2025:
In 2025, Venus goes into Virgo just as we’re amid a solar eclipse and new moon that also happens to be occurring in Virgo. This is one of the most intense, emotional, game-changing moments of a year that’s already been replete with them. So, as you begin to bring a more pragmatic lens to relationships, beauty, money matters and more, you could also be grappling with dramatic change. Leaning into the strengths of Venus in Virgo — focusing on small but meaningful details and acts of service in relationships, including the one you have with yourself — can help you navigate any choppy waters that arise as the eclipse moves through.
On October 8, Venus forms a friendly sextile to lucky Jupiter, the planet of abundance, making for one of the best days for romance, optimism and fortune all year. You could find you’re able to bring a more nurturing and positive perspective to creative undertakings and relationship dynamics.
And, on October 11, two days ahead of its move into Libra — a sign Venus is right at home in — the planet named for the goddess of love will sit opposite taskmaster Saturn. The best way to take advantage of this celestial face-off: Do your best to get more organized when it comes to money matters, and step up to the plate to take responsibility in relationships, and your efforts will be rewarded.
Here, how Venus in Virgo 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 your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
