Astrology Musings for Virgo Season 2026
Welcome to Virgo season! The sun will be shining here from August 22nd to September 22nd. This is a great time to have stimulating conversations, iron out details, and most of all be grateful for the harvest we’ve been given this year. Preservation is something to connect to this season, whether in the kitchen, through documentation/scrapbooking, or partaking in self care. If you’re interested in food preservation through pickling and making jams, we encourage you to check out Roni’s cookbooks for recipes and inspiration! Virgo is ruled by fast moving Mercury, so expect decisions you’ve been ruminating on to now be swift and easy. Find your ascendent (rising sign) below for some inspiration more personal to you.
ARIES: Saturn is halfway through its transit of Aries. How are you doing? There may be an overarching feeling of seriousness, especially around the theme of self improvement. Let this be a gentle reminder that Saturn wants the best for us, focus on your vitality and cultivate your inner strength.
TAURUS: The sun is shining in the ‘all things fun’ area of your chart. Squeeze all you can out of the rest of this summer. Support local music, have picnics, spend time in nature, and do anything that YOU find fun!
GEMINI: Reflect on nostalgia this Virgo season. This could be a good time to remake a recipe from your childhood, or visit a place that you haven't been to for a while. Pineapple Upside Down Cake picnic, anyone?
CANCER: Spend time connecting to your community this month. We host an awesome sustainable market called The Mercantile on 9th, and the next market is on September 13th. There will be lots of local makers offering their goodies like candles, jam, jewellery, ceramics, and vintage finds.
LEO: This month is about gratitude. We highly recommend reading Braiding Sweetgrass to be reminded of how we are abundantly provided for by the natural world. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck is in your rising sign for another 6 months.
VIRGO: Bring main character energy this month, and step forward proudly as your true self. The sun is illuminating the part of your chart associated with the face/head. We offer an amazing Facial Care class if you feel called to learn more about your skin.
LIBRA: This is a time of endings and new beginnings, there is a passing of a threshold on the horizon. Venus, the planet of love, is in Libra, so enjoy all the ways you are loved and truly feel your capacity to love.
SCORPIO: When we were children it was easy to have fun, and now friendship can feel like mostly catching up on life events. This month invites that playfulness back. A Skwalwen face mask with friends sounds just perfect.
SAGITTARIUS: Ponder on your habits around consuming vs. creating. Like all things in life, there has to be a symbiotic balance. What are your offerings to the world?
CAPRICORN: The theme of your Virgo season: exploration and expansion. This is a great time to put energy into expanding your finances and inner value. A peaceful mind and adaptable nervous system is priceless.
AQUARIUS: Is there an area of your life that needs transformation? Detach from the small daily conflicts, and focus your energy on your desires.
PISCES: Spend time exploring yin and yang energies this month. Some things we do as resting ‘yin’ activities like being on our phones or watching TV, are not very relaxing for our nervous systems at all! What is truly peaceful or activating for you?
