Virgo Season 2024

Virgo embodies the transformative energy of change and the grounded practicality of the earth. As a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, the sign of Virgo is associated with meticulous care, nurturing of the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. During Virgo season, we must harvest the fruits of our labor and prepare for the seasons ahead both physically and metaphorically. Mercury is the planet of communication and when paired with earth, we see how Virgo is the sign of the mind body connection. After a 6-month cycle of budding, blooming, pollinating, and growing which started at the Vernal Equinox, it is now time to engage the mind by strategizing the harvest. We experience the heights of summer and the transformation of summer into autumn during Virgo Season. This is a transformational time to deepen our mind body connection and establish equilibrium in time for the equinox on the last day of Virgo, September 22nd.

 As we transition from the pulsing solar limelight of Leo, into the health and service focus of Virgo, this is a powerful time to tap into innate healing abilities. Consciously used, Virgo energy can empower and strengthen body, mind, and spirit. In Tarot, Virgo is associated with the Hermit card, and this is the season to tune into your own wisdom and light, rather than following others. Empower yourself to make distinctive choices as the energy flows into the mature mindsets of reflection and planning. Solitude, study, organization and deep attention are supported as we finalize the work of summer and look forward to autumn.

In nature Virgo Season enters as glowing green. Early Virgo season is a time of abundance. The trees and crops in the natural world have reached maturity and are bearing fruits, veggies, and flowers, nourishing us now as well as seeding the future. This is a time to collect and preserve, to enjoy and prepare. The sun is high and warm, the days are long and there is so much to do. As the season progresses the light filtering through the leaves becomes golden, hinting at the magic of Autumn to come. By the time Virgo season reaches its close, it has transformed from green to gold. When Virgo says goodbye, the leaves are turning red, a new seasonal landscape in her wake.  

 This is an important season to create space for thorough accounting and evaluation of your personal journey and goals.  This timing serves to motivate you to prepare for the future, so that you can move forward with a complete and detailed understanding of where you stand presently and what you want your garden to look like next year. 

 On the highest level-- Virgo is the radical healer. With the powers of the mind through Mercury and the grounding nature of the earth element, we can facilitate a dialogue between our bodies, minds, and planet-- that extends outwards connecting us to each other as well as the plant and animal kingdom for collective restoration. Virgo season is an invitation to step into your excellence as a healer, life editor and server of the highest good.

 How you can prepare to unlock your greatest healing and preparatory potential during this Virgo Season:

•  Spend time soaking up the outdoors.

•  Embrace imperfection. Virgo season can bring extra awareness to perceived flaws. But we have a choice to look at things from a less linear, more inclusive, and healthy perspective.

•  Organize your home, clean, purify and purge

•  Eat a plant-based diet as much as possible during Virgo season, while holding wonder and gratitude for the lifecycle and journey of all that nourishes you.

• Acts of service, as well as accepting assistance from others.

•  Look within to come to terms with wounds, anxieties, and fears. There is a strategy hidden in your depths, a strategy for healing, a map to your calm and a toolbox that holds the clues to your acceptance. This is where freedom waits for you.

Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces 9/17 at 25 degrees Pisces.

Eclipses are times of climax, usually involving a crisis, a mystery or revelation which unfolds in the days following. This can be a crisis of conciousness or an actual event that heralds a shift. On the Virgo/ Pisces axis, this can relate to the polarities of : body/spirit, order/infinity, health/service. This is a powerful time to see what bubbles up from the dream realm, intuition or subconcious to be analyzed. This emotionally charged time can signal relationship challenges, sudden breaks, or dramatic solutions. Epiphanies, desires and revelations are exposed to clear the path forward. This is the last eclipse season of the year and the beginning of a Virgo-Pisces eclipse story that will continue to develop between now and 2025. It marks a time to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace the intuitive wisdom that comes with it. This eclipse affects the Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius sectors of your chart, especially around the 20-26 degree points. The last eclipse series in Virgo Pisces were from March 20 2015-February 26, 2017. It might be helpful to reflect on what was unfolding during that time and consider how this current cycle could affect you or how it might represent an evolution. Sometimes, looking to the past can help us understand themes in the present and future.
