Virgo Season 2026

So we begin Virgo season on Saturday, August 22nd, and Virgo energy is very much like what I described at the intro.

It's kind of like, let's get back into order.

When I think about Leo energy and I think about the Cancer to Leo to Virgo sequence, I think of this experience of going inwards and exploring the self from a body-led perspective.

I think of stepping into a level of visibility and self-expression.

and stretching ourselves out into the world.

And then I think of coming into a sort of a state of refinement with Virgo.

We've explored what it feels like to be internal and external introverted and extroverted.

We've explored what it's, what it means to feel deeply and also to express and be present, um, out and outside of ourselves.

And now Virgo is kind of like, okay, let's take all of that information and make it make sense.

And let's figure out exactly what it means as well.

Not necessarily from a belief-based perspective, but from kind of like an empirical data-based perspective.

When I think of Virgo, I definitely think of data collection or collecting a lot of details of information to make sense of what the whole picture looks like and what is the most effective and efficient choice.

And when I look at Virgo, it's ruled by Mercury, but the decans of Virgo are the Sun, Venus, and Mercury.

And so there is something about definitely understanding our sense of self and our identity and our consciousness, but also that refinement piece, that desire for beauty, for beauty that creates efficiency, something that is practical and beautiful also, that kind of experience.

And something that makes sense, something that like you can string the sentence together and there's a clear understanding of what's happening.

And because Virgo is ruled by Mercury and it's a mutable earth sign, I also think about the disseminating experience of language.

And how we can have this big felt experience, but as soon as we put it into words, we start to know how to work with it.

And we know how to, again, make sense of it.

We know what it is and what it isn't and how we can respond to it and also shape ourselves against it.

The opposite sign to Virgo is Pisces and we'll be exploring a little bit of that energy with the Pisces eclipse that's coming up this season and Pisces is the sign that is boundless and is deeply feeling and kind of runs on vibes and Virgo is like okay there's there's maybe some space for that but also can we take all of those big feelings can we take that energy can we take those vibrations and all of that connection and figure out how it all fits together.

What are the lines of delineation? How am I connected to you in a really practical material sense? How would you put language to the big felt experience? And I definitely think of this axis being very poetic in a way because there is a way of being able to zoom totally out with Pisces and see the bigger picture and feel very deeply.

And Virgo gives us the opportunity to, again, take all of that experience and refine it and understand it.

And what I also particularly love about Virgo energy, and I would be remiss to say this, is that there's a real appreciation and understanding that the magic is in the mundane, that the smallest little things can bring so much symbolism and power and meaning.

Because like, if you think about just one word, for example, The word is simple, but the word also contains so much history and meaning and depth.

And you can look at virtually any word in any language, and I think that you can find so much more meaning just in that string of characters together and it's the same with anything else you can look at a leaf you can look at an insect you can look at a texture you can you can feel a texture you can taste something and in the subtlest details there can be so much richness and The last thing I'll say about Virgo before I move on is that, especially now that I've achieved my Level 1 Sommelier certification, I also think about the experience of wine tasting, which is so...
