Virgo season is upon us! From August 24 – September 22, the maiden of the harvest rules the skies, and diligent Virgos have their time to shine. Like fellow Earth sign Taurus, Virgo is practical, organized, grounded, and full of drive to get things done. For Virgo, that drive can lead them into perfectionism and the duality of high accomplishment and excess self-criticism that accompanies such a trait. You can find Virgos putting in the work and building a reputation as a human rocket ship soaring at the top of their field. However, you can also find Virgos mired in worry, creative blocks, and self-doubt. Building real confidence is key for Virgos to reach their highest potential.
Mercury-ruled Virgo is full of ideas and loves to talk about them. They’re the person that loves to offer advice and find solutions when friends come to them to vent. Deeply caring, Virgos feel that their love for others is best expressed in manifesting real positive change in loved ones’ lives. Though Virgos find immense satisfaction in solving other people’s problems, their hyper-critical and high-strung natures mean that they can often have a blind eye when it comes to finding the best way through their own worries. Learning to quiet anxious thoughts and achieve relaxation will help nervous Virgos find their footing again.
Virgos can find peace in the ritual of daily tasks like organizing their home or perfecting a dinner recipe. Habit tracking journals are a positive way to channel their perfectionist tendencies, and practical hobbies like reading, gardening, or knitting will appeal to sensible Virgo. Our picks for Virgo this month feature celebrities who share the sign, Beyoncé and Zendaya, books that honor the Earth as their zodiac element, books to soothe anxiety, and books that offer tangible and rewarding hobbies to fill the idle hands of any over-thinking Virgo.
