Virgo Season 2023: Erin The Urban Mermaid
August 28, 2023The Sun has shifted signs once again and as of August 23, 2023, it is in the sign of Virgo!
The 6th sign of the Zodiac ruled by Mercury, this Virgo SZN is filled with retrogrades galore, back to school and work and lots of opportunity!
The Sun will stay in Virgo until September 22, 2023, so let’s see what’s the deal. . .
Virgo is a mutable Earth sign, and as I mentioned above, the 6th sign of the Zodiac ruled by Mercury.
Together Mercury and Virgo rule the sixth house, the “House of Health”, but there is sooo much more to it!
- Health, our body, work life (as opposed to a career or Higher Calling), the everyday details of life, routines, schedules, cleanliness, overall wellness, illnesses and even our little pets!
Virgo’s symbol is appropriately the Virgin, because Virgo is a vision of purity.
- They cannot function in chaos, disarray, clutter, filth, disorganization, mismatching, incohesiveness and sub parity.
- Virgo is a natural healer. They have a secret ability to really read a room because they are so impacted physically by their environments.
- They also have a talent of really breaking things down, they are the “make it make sense” ones of the Zodiac.
- Virgo makes an excellent business owner and boss, they are skilled at the details of things, logical, practical, organized, the worker bees and also enjoy being of service to others.
- Virgo is a perfectionist to the T and oftentimes, leaves them exhausted, burnt out and disappointed from having such impossibly high expectations of themselves and others.
- They will work themselves to the core for others, are extremely neurotic nitpickers, get walked on and taken advantage of, and can be a little cold because they focus on the logistics of things rather than the emotions of them.
Virgo season follows fun Leo with a very “let’s buckle down and get down to business” vibe.
I’ve always said this is why school starts in Virgo Season – the fun is over, lol.
But Virgo presents us with a lot of opportunities. We feel fresh and motivated, we have a real go-getter energy here.
Virgo also has us wanting to better ourselves, because there’s always room for personal development and self-improvement in Virgo season.
- And honestly, I love this for us. It’s a great time to focus on our overall wellness. Maybe do a detox, rid the body of impurities (soooo Virgo). Get your body moving too, bonus if it’s outside because this Earth sign loves nature. It’s a beautiful time for healing.
Virgo is also the Marie Kondo of seasons haha organize ya life!
- Organize ya job! Clean, purge, tidy, get ish in order!
Virgo also loves a new routine or schedule, so reflecting on what’s working for you there and what isn’t and implementing change is very supported here.
The thing is, Virgo can get very annoying, very quickly.
- The nitpicking, the criticism, the impossibly high standards. . . meh. Lol. Try your best not to be too hard on yourself, remember all perfection is an unattainable illusion. Resist the urge to pick everything apart, try to trust and stay in flow.
- Also remember, while it is important to be of service to others, you aren’t a servant! Remember your worth! Do not overdo it working or cleaning- haha, but for real. You will absolutely manifest a burnout or stress in your body as illness or pain. This is Virgo’s M.O.!
Use the energy of this season to help your organize your life without beating yourself up over everything and Virgo season will be A OK Fam!
