When the sun is still blazing and intense, and we’re squeezing in the last beach or pool days, yet kids are beginning to gather at bus stops, it’s clear that Virgo season has begun. The mutable earth sign’s season is the bridge that brings us from the sweaty, heady days of summertime into the fall equinox, which aligns with the first day of the sun’s trip through Libra. Given that the sign of the Maiden guides us out of one season and into the next, it’s a time for flexibility, tending to your daily routine and wellness and gathering lots of crucial, detailed information — often to be of service to others. Virgo season occurs annually from mid-August to mid-September.
Because the mutable earth sign is ruled by Mercury, which, in astrology, oversees communication, transportation and technology as well as our thought processes and decision-making, you’ll be even more adept at sharing your brightest ideas, connecting with others, and researching the best game plan for achieving your dreams throughout this cerebral season.
Here, all you need to know about Virgo season 2024 so you can make the most of it.
As the sun blazes and temperatures soar while some kids head back to school cafes all over the country prepare to launch their pumpkin spiced beverages, it’s tough not to notice we’re in a season of change. That feeling is sure to be epitomized by this month’s shock-bringing full moon — a big, bright supermoon, […]
When is Virgo season?
Every year, you can count on Virgo season to occur from approximately August 22-23 to September 22-23. In 2024, Virgo season will be in effect from August 22 to September 22.
What to expect during Virgo season
In general, when the sun takes its annual trip through Virgo, we’re all more likely to adopt a grounded, pragmatic point of view and want to be of service to others, especially by obtaining useful information. Because Virgo is associated with the Sixth House of Daily Routine and Wellness, this is a moment in which we’ll be more compelled to pinpoint self-improvement strategies — and to figure out how we can improve circumstances for those around us. People who come into the world under the sign of the Maiden are thoughtful, analytical, communicative and intent on parlaying their innate intelligence toward helping others. The industrious, precise and intuitive earth sign also excels at self-work, as they’re capable of examining the details we often lose sight of when staying focused on the big picture.
Virgo is also the mutable sign of the earth group, which means they’re adaptable and can easily pivot from one path to the next. In fact, they really enjoy multitasking and hopping from one lane to the next, as long as they’re clear on the why. On the less ideal side, mutability causes the Maiden to struggle with indecision. Know that you can shift gears from plan A to plan B more readily during Virgo season, but that it might take a little more willpower than usual to resolve to cross a specific finish line.

In 2024, Virgo season involves an extra dose of self-reflection
Because Mercury retrograde carries through the first week of the sun’s trip through Virgo, you’ll be more apt to adopt an introspective point of view at the start of the season. Specifically, with Mercury moving back through Leo, the fixed fire sign, you’ll be called to go inward and tie up loose ends related to creative self-expression, leadership abilities and sense of self. Then, from August 28 on, Mercury charges forward in Leo, moving back into Virgo on September 9, so you can begin to plow ahead on whatever it is you’ve been meditating on since the messenger planet’s backspin began on August 4-5.
Virgo season 2024 brings a surge of initiative-taking energy
While the sun and Mercury move through the sign of the Maiden, two other key planets will be kicking off their journey through cardinal signs: relationship-oriented Venus enters cardinal air sign Libra on August 29, remaining there until September 22, and action-driven Mars enters cardinal water sign Cancer on September 4, remaining there until November 3. The cardinal signs are the big picture, visionary, initiators of the zodiac (the other two are Aries and Capricorn), so following a fussy Mercury retrograde that might’ve had you stuck in limbo on your personal goals, Venus and Mars can help you hit the gas — especially when it comes to endeavors related to creativity, beauty and art, your values and partnerships as well as family matters and your sense of security.

Eclipse season spurs game-changing shifts
2024 features four eclipses, or supercharged lunar events that fuel meaningful change and stir up big emotions. The third eclipse of the year — a lunar eclipse and full moon — strikes on Tuesday, September 17 in Pisces, the mutable water sign known for its vivid imagination, empathy and psychic ability. We haven’t had an eclipse in the sign of the Fish since 2017 — and the last lunar eclipse around this degree of Pisces was on September 16, 2016 — so think back to that period for a sense of the themes you might expect to pop up.
Here, how Virgo season 2024 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don't, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator .)

Virgo season turns your focus to your everyday routine and wellness habits, thanks to the sun spending time in your health zone. You’ll be motivated to put the pedal to the metal on streamlining day-to-day to-dos and adopting new habits that elevate your well-being. Although your MO tends to be to go hard and swift right out the gate, a pragmatic, detail-oriented perspective, courtesy of Virgo’s energy, could serve you even better and lead to even more satisfying results.
Virgo season brings a surge of joyfulness, playfulness, creativity and the urge to express your most fun-loving desires, because the sun is moving through your romance zone. Ruled by Venus, you’re revitalized when pleasurable, social energy is front and center, so there’s no doubt you’ll be buoyed by this time of year. And if your instinct is to hit pause on deadlines and put your nose to the grindstone to be more spontaneous and to tap into your artistic impulses now, let your heart lead the way.
After what tends to be a super-social season involving your communication zone, the confident sun shifts into your home zone during Virgo season, which can turn your focus to family matters. Though you love being on the go, you could crave more downtime with your loved ones, reveling in late summer traditions. Still, once your ruling planet, Mercury, moves forward in your short-distance travel sector from August 28 to September 9, you could finally go on that getaway you’ve been dreaming about — and kick off new traditions to boot!
You could be motivated to make more plans with friends, neighbors and siblings (if you have them) than usual, thanks to the sun moving through your communication zone during Virgo season. You’re craving opportunities to satiate your curiosity and connect now, so moments in which you can dive into intellectually stimulating conversations are truly fulfilling. This is a prime time for brainstorming industrious, exciting ideas alongside friends and colleagues. And around September 17, when the lunar eclipse hits your adventure sector, your restlessness and desire to soak up knowledge could prove truly eye-opening.
Your ruler, the sun, leaves your sign for your money zone during Virgo season, making this a moment in which you can transform passion projects you’ve been musing about into concrete cash flow. Because this sector also oversees self-worth and values, you’ll be even more in tune with your own, and this bolstered self-awareness can fuel whatever pursuit you’ve set your sights on. Now’s a fantastic time to explore new ways to invest, save, budget and generally get more organized financially.
Welcome to your season, Virgo! With the sun moving through your sign self-image sector now, you’ll be in tune with your inner voice (something you were undoubtedly working on throughout Mercury’s retrograde through your sign from August 4-5 to 14) and prepared to make moves to boost your confidence and purpose. Think about how you want to be perceived in the world and give yourself grace as you make changes tied to your goal. Once Mercury, your ruler, is back in your sign from September 9 to 26, you can articulate your vision with flawless precision!
With the sun in your spirituality zone now, this is a quieter, more restful season than you might ideally prefer, but think of it this way: You’ll have adequate time to meditate and reflect on what you want to accomplish once the sun shifts into your own sign next. And it won’t be as sleepy as it could be, because your ruler, relationship-oriented Venus, will be in your sign from August 29 to September 22, making you a magnet for all things pleasurable, beautiful and romantic.
With the sun in your groups zone now, you’ll enjoy a surge of social energy that you can channel into a team effort or spending quality time with your circle of friends. And if you’ve been batting around the idea of finding a new path to achieving a long-term aspiration, you might find you can more readily connect with people in your social network who will support your vision. Just be sure to take the time to check in with your heart to ensure you’re being true to your emotional needs around September 17 when the lunar eclipse falls in your self-expression sector.
Prepare to step into the spotlight or a leadership position now that the sun is in your career zone, turning your attention to all your hard work on the public stage. Understandably, you want to be recognized for what you’re bringing to the table and to build momentum on your professional goals, and a surge of confidence provided by the sun in this sector should do the trick! This is a productive moment for chatting with higher-ups about where you want to go from here.
You’ve been focused on tending to your most intimate bonds, but you can expect a shift that steps up your restlessness, wanderlust and desire to break free of your mundane routine now, thanks to the sun moving through your adventure and higher learning sector. Whether you’re learning from a trusted mentor, planning a long-distance trip or soaking up new knowledge that challenges you to adopt new perspectives and philosophies, you’ll be most fulfilled by expanding your mind and getting out of your comfort zone over the course of Virgo season. And when go-getter Mars kicks off its trip through your partnership sector on September 4, you can bring a loved one, dear friend or significant other along for the ride.
As the sun spends time in your intimacy and joint resources zone during Virgo season, you’ll want to nurture your closest bonds, perhaps with a significant other or a dear loved one. Surface-level conversations just won’t cut it now, as you want to uncover hidden truths and really wrap your head around what makes your nearest and dearest tick emotionally. This is also a beneficial moment for wearing your heart on your sleeve, even if that feels a bit uncomfortable. You can also make strides on shared financial aspirations.
With the sun moving through your partnership sector during Virgo season, you’ll gain the most gratification from pursuing your goals alongside a friend, loved one or colleague. Working toward a shared vision one-on-one not only fuels your success but strengthens your bond. You can also take advantage of amplified confidence when it comes to initiating and moving through any kind of mediation or negotiation now. These experiences lend themselves to boosting your self-awareness, and when the lunar eclipse falls in your sign on September 17, you’ll find emotionally charged moments ultimately serve to enhance your sense of self.
