Virgo Season Monthly Forecast

Happy Virgo season! I hope everyone is doing okay with these eclipses. We’ve got one eclipse down, one to go, and this Virgo season it will be a final lunar eclipse in Pisces, closing out the Pisces eclipse series that has been ongoing since 2024.

As usual, I will first be going over all of the major transits happening this Virgo season, and then paid subscribers can keep reading to find out what everything means for their individual rising sign and chart. The podcast version of the monthly transits is also out now if you want to get a weekly breakdown of the month ahead.

The main theme for this Virgo season is that the Sun is moving through Virgo from August 22 - September 22. Virgo season is a time for getting organized, finding structure in your everyday schedule, and also prioritizing self care. You may want to lean more into exercise, healthy eating, or uncovering little ways to be more productive each day. I would say that Virgo can sometimes be a little too self critical, so try to remind yourself that not everything has to be done so perfectly, it just matter that it’s done.

Right after the Sun moves into Virgo, it will be followed by Mercury entering Virgo from August 25 - September 10. Mercury rules the sign of Virgo, so Mercurial areas like writing and speaking work, as well as everyday communication, will likely flow more easily during this couple of weeks. This would be an ideal time to tackle any editing work or make progress on learning a new skill, compiling a presentation, or putting out short form content. There will be a Sun-Mercury cazimi in Virgo on August 27 at 4 degrees, so you may notice that this day is especially busy with social interactions or handling a lot of smaller tasks and errands at work and in your everyday life.

Just as Virgo season is getting started, there will be a lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28. This lunar eclipse will occur at 4 degrees of Pisces, and will be the last of three Pisces eclipses that have taken place since September 2024. Therefore, it may serve as a final push to make a change or start up something in the Pisces ruled house of your chart. Pisces is definitely a more emotional, intuitive side, so it could be that you’re feeling all of the emotions around the end of August, or you could be taking some space to be by yourself to tend to a spiritual or journaling practice. You will be building greater trust in what your own instincts are telling you, and this lunar eclipse may also inspire you to be more compassionate to people or connect on a deeper level in your relationships.

The ruling planet of this eclipse is Jupiter, which is currently in the sign of Leo. At the time of this eclipse, Jupiter will be forming an exact trine to Saturn in Aries, so you may notice this positive link happening between the Leo and Aries house themes in your chart at the end of August. You might be furthering your education in these areas of your life or building something that feels more meaningful to you. Also note how the changes happening in the Pisces ruled house of your chart where the eclipse is taking place tie back in with themes of the Leo ruled house, almost like a throwback to the solar eclipse we just experienced there. As we’ll continue to see throughout the rest of this year and into early 2027, the themes of the Leo ruled house of your chart will continue to go through this bigger reflection and reworking process.

In addition, this lunar eclipse in Pisces will be almost exactly squaring Uranus in Gemini, so you may notice fast paced changes occurring at the end of August in an area of your life, or this eclipse may urge you to make a decision or free yourself from anything that has felt restricting recently, especially pertaining to the mutable sign houses in your chart. However, you may feel a little unsettled for a few days around August 28.

A few days later, Mars in Cancer will come into a square with Saturn in Aries on September 1, which is not the most pleasant energy. There may be something frustrating that comes up around this time, or a project or relationship may require extra patience and effort. You may need to put much more energy into something than you had anticipated, or something you’re working on may be slow to develop. Also because Mars in Cancer can be so emotionally reactive, try to be aware of how you’re approaching conflict at this time. If you’re super emotional about something in the moment, it may be worth stepping back and cooling off for a few days before talking about it.

We then skip ahead quite a bit to September 10, when a new moon in Virgo occurs. This new moon will take place at 18 degrees of Virgo, and will be ruled by Mercury, which moves into Libra on this very same day. If it’s slow to see major developments happen in the Virgo ruled house of your chart throughout the end of August and early September, you will likely see activity take hold there more once this new moon takes place. You may also feel a lot more motivated to implement healthy habits or a greater sense of routine around mid September, especially as the new moon gets a positive boost in energy from its sextile to Mars in Cancer. In addition, notice how you see the Libra and Virgo ruled houses of your chart influencing each other.

At the time of this new moon, Mercury in Libra will be building to an opposition with Neptune in Aries, which will go exact on September 12. So it may be that for just a couple of days following the new moon, you feel extra sensitive, or you may find it hard to focus on super detailed tasks and information. Instead, allow yourself to brainstorm or tap into the intuitive and creative side of your brain.

Venus also changes signs on September 10, as it moves into Scorpio, where it will station retrograde on October 3. Venus will remain in Scorpio until October 25 before returning to Libra during its retrograde. After the retrograde is over, Venus will once again return to Scorpio from December 4 - January 7, for a wrap up of this Venus in Scorpio storyline that is being started on September 10. So when you’re looking at the Scorpio ruled house of your chart, it may be that you’re going through a bigger transitional period here over the next four months. You may be seeking greater balance in this part of your life, or you’re trying to find ways to bring more of your creativity into this area. There could also be a relationship or interest you need to revisit from your past, and you could be thinking about how you can be a better partner or friend to someone. Venus in Scorpio specifically will have you wanting to go deeper in your relationships, and you might be developing greater intimacy with people by opening up about what is bothering you or learning how to better trust someone.

However, Venus will oppose Chiron in Taurus on September 10, the first day that Venus is in Scorpio, so once again this new moon period doesn’t look the easiest. It may be that you’re addressing a relationship insecurity or working to heal a past emotion you have from a relationship, whether that be platonic or romantic.

And then we end the month with Mercury in Libra opposing Saturn in Aries on September 18. Whereas you may have felt a bit distracted or overly sensitive just the week before, by the time we reach the last few days of Virgo season, you may be putting a lot of mental focus into one specific task. This would also be a good transit to accomplish more writing or speaking related projects under, or a communication project you’re developing may require some careful editing or research. In your everyday commute or any traveling that you’re doing around this date, you may run into some delays or minor frustrations, so you may want to carve out extra time to get where you’re going.

As Virgo season comes to a close, the eclipses will be over, but we still have a couple of serious retrogrades gearing up to begin in October.

Here is what all of these transits mean for your specific rising sign…
