Virgo Season ♍️ 2025

artist: Kawase Hasui

Aug 22 – Sep 22 (Fall Equinox), 2025

Virgo, goddess of harvest, archetypal sister of Demeter and Persephone, here now to work and hum between rows of towering plants. We need to be outside to understand this constellation. Virgo lives in verdure, in sun and wind, in dry rustling grasses; in dawn footsteps crunching to the creek, beneath tree and star, washing her face in the singing river.

…and then Virgo becomes so consumed by her work that she forgets to breathe or rest. Having said that, she is hardly just a worker bee. She is the empress of agency and bodily sovereignty, maintaining crisp boundaries in the name of self-empowerment. What is the real meaning of virginity? What is this spiritual power? It is the power to decide when and with whom to share one’s body. Virgo the Virgin is not anything like what you’ve been told. She is in total control of herself and her destiny.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the fleet-footed messenger god. Her mind races, forever in analytical overdrive. Virgo also needs to process everything verbally. The Virgo life flies quickly and with many moving parts. Expect this cycle to be, as always, insanely busy. It’s the season of harvest and going back to school. Feel it sprouting in your stomach and aching in your fingers, this stinging, mercurial anticipation.

So many changes take place during Virgo season. This transit is about practice, devotion, and perspicacity. Virgo is here to help us monitor, sort, and categorize. She is also here to strike a balance between work and rest, between duty and repose. She demands continual and discernible improvement within and without. What does improvement in self-care look like? Less judgment, less rigidity, more spaciousness.

Virgo also increases awareness towards our body and what we put into it. Now is the time to (re)commit to regular exercise and healthy eating.
