All About Virgo

Happy Solar Return to all the Virgos out there! This month is about working hard and creating efficiency in your life. Focus on what you need to succeed, and what you can do to help get yourself there. Virgos are known for being strategic and detail-oriented, so try to tap into that energy while you’re at work or school so you don’t miss any important details or assignments.

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

Element: Earth

Symbol: The Virgin

House: Sixth

Planetary Ruler: Mercury

This earth sign is incredibly practical. There seems to be no problem a Virgo can’t solve because of how closely they pay attention to everything around them. Virgos are systematic and incredibly hard workers, but it’s important to remember that everyone should incorporate some rest and relaxation in their lives.

Virgo is one of the mutable signs, meaning that it marks the official end of the summer season. Due to its mutable nature, this makes Virgos adaptable even if they are working hard. This is a great theme to embody this season—how can you remain steadfast yet adaptable should the occasion arise?

Virgo rules the Sixth House, or the house of health. As you or your little ones head back to school, this becomes a prevalent theme as illness can increase in the household. Focus on taking care of your body and establishing a routine that helps you incorporate a balance of self-care, physical activity, and rest. Mercury is the planetary ruler of Virgo, correlating with the natural gifts this sign has of strategy and communication.
