Virgo season horoscopes are here! Ruled by Mercury…we hope they’ll get you talking (and we always love to hear what you think)!
AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22
Our Resident Astrologer, Erin Sunday, writes these horoscopes based on your Sun and Rising/Ascendant sign. Don’t know your Rising Sign? The Birthdate Book can help!
ARIES:
It’s not always easy for you to relax, and that’s especially true during this season. It’s great to focus on your health, just remember to give yourself wiggle room.
TAURUS:
A secret amongst creatives is that it actually takes routine planning to bring ideas to fruition. Block off time in your schedule this season for some writing…just for fun.
GEMINI:
You’re quite the wordsmith, Gemini, but this season you’ll be getting comfortable with one that rarely crosses your mind: homebody! Feather your nest and relax for a while.
CANCER:
What would your friends do without your organization and vigilant care? You’re once again focused on the group this season, just remember to fill your own cup first.
LEO:
Every lion loves nice things, but this season is about making practical financial decisions. Decide to organize, but not obsess, over your finances.
VIRGO:
It’s your season, Virgo, and you might decide it’s time for a refresh. Remember that you deserve a new hairstyle or pair of shoes just as much as anyone else!
LIBRA:
You’re headed into your inner sanctum this season and paying close attention to your dreams. It’s ok to take a break from socializing and remember who you are alone.
SCORPIO:
You’re typically a private person, but this season you’re socializing with the best of them, Scorpio. The conversations you’re having will spotlight your biggest dreams.
SAGITTARIUS:
As adventurous as you are, this season has you getting serious at work. Focus on what you’re trying to build and keep climbing till you reach the peak.
CAPRICORN:
You’re learning something new this season, Capricorn, and perhaps traveling to do so. Remember that you actually can teach an old dog new tricks.
AQUARIUS:
Endings happen so that something constructive can be built in their wake, and no one knows that better than you. It’s ok to analyze what happened, but don’t forget to feel.
PISCES:
Most partnerships are perfectly imperfect. Focus on “the other” this season, but remember the most productive relationships help you grow as an individual, too.

Virgo, like Gemini, is ruled by Mercury, which makes this sign a phenomenal communicator. Unlike Gemini, though, it’s an Earth sign, meaning it's much more physically motivated to make changes.
Virgo is associated with the sixth house of the birth chart, relating to daily habits and health. Rather than getting carried away by fantasy, it’s a deeply supportive sign that values precision, compartmentalizing, and practicality.
Virgo people make amazing editors, health coaches, and pet owners. They’re able to pay attention to all the small details that are necessary for keeping everything organized and moving logically towards growth.
During Virgo season, it’s time to get practical.
