Virgo Season Will Make Each Zodiac Sign Feel Lost (& Eventually, Found)

Virgo season is the time for diligence and responsibility, since erecting a semi-flexible routine is the primary focus for this zodiacal season. As we ease out of summer and into fall, Virgo season is the reminder to be mutable yet steadfast. Since the change of seasons represents the fluctuations that take place throughout the Virgo season, this could be the perfect time to look at what can be adjusted or nipped in the bud. Here’s how Virgo season will affect each zodiac sign during 2023, because this is the perfect time to hit the reset button.

The heat of Leo season 2023 will begin to simmer down when the sun finally enters Virgo on August 23 at 5:01 a.m. ET. Although Virgo season revolves around routine and healthy habits, there might be more messes to clean up than usual at the beginning of this astrological period.

Unfortunately, the drama of Leo season will leak into Virgo season when Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo at 21 degrees on August 23 at 3:59 p.m. ET. Miscommunication, travel delays and exes of all kinds reaching out are to be expected during Mercury retrograde. My best advice is to block anyone you don’t want to reconnect with and triple-check the details of your plans to get through this retrograde.

Virgo season begins on August 23 and ends on September 23.

Shortly after the solar ingress, Mars in Virgo will form a daunting trine with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on August 24. A surge of well-intended energy will rise, allowing us to consider where we need to course-correct to achieve immeasurable success and accomplishment. However, this trine could also unearth hidden agendas, especially if it involves releasing anger or exploring a sexual opportunity. A restorative attitude should do the trick for maneuvering this intense transit.

The truth behind your boundaries will be revealed when the sun in Virgo opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces on August 27. Slight tension may arise since you will have to be responsible for reinstating your boundaries and expectations. On that same day, the warrior planet Mars will enter its detriment, Libra. Although exiled in the sign of the scales, Mars in Libra may potentially alleviate unnecessary tension since we may waffle between confrontation or letting bygones be bygones. Luckily, relationship struggles might be alleviated when Venus stations direct in Leo on September 3. 

By September 4, Mercury retrograde in Virgo will form an auspicious trine with Jupiter in Taurus that will inspire hope and perhaps unexpected fortune mid-retrograde. Something serendipitous may come up as you consider the details of your plans or in your conversations. Additional insight and clarity will arise when Mercury retrograde in Virgo conjuncts the sun in Virgo on September 6. Take whatever comes up as your cosmic clue since it could be your saving grace for navigating the remainder of Mercury retrograde. Then on September 8, the sun in Virgo will form a trine with Jupiter in Taurus, reinstating this happy-go-lucky energy that everyone will benefit from.

A cosmic do-over will be possible when a new cycle begins under the new moon in Virgo on September 14 which will occur at 21 degrees. Consider setting intentions or manifestations that align with Virgo’s core themes of service, work, and health. The following six months could be eye-opening since you may adjust your habits or routine to live a happier, healthier life!

A strong desire to clear the air will come up toward the end of Virgo season when the sun in Virgo opposes Neptune retrograde in Pisces on September 19. The veil between fantasy and reality could lift if you are open to taking off your rose-colored glasses. A chance for self-reflection and self-actualization will be possible during this dizzying opposition!

Virgo season ends on a high note when the sun in Virgo forms a serendipitous trine with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on September 21. In true Virgo fashion, no stone will be left unturned during this trine. Tremendous confidence will surge as the sun and Pluto retrograde work together to amplify the power each of us has within ourselves. However, there will be a strong call to let go, transform and evolve during this transit!

Virgo season will come to an end on September 23 when the sun leaves the sign of the virgin for the sign of the scales at 2:49 a.m. ET. Unlike the confusing end of Leo season, we may feel more empowered and enlightened thanks to the illuminating trine from two days earlier. 

Here’s what you can expect from Virgo season, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
