As the Sun moves through Virgo from August 22nd to September 22nd, it’s you and your herbal tinctures against the world. This is your yearly wake-up call to get your life together. It doesn’t have to be polished or perfect — just orderly enough that you’re not spiraling over all the things you could’ve prepped for. Over the coming weeks, focus on the small shifts and adjustments you can make to fend off the chaos.
This Virgo season is also the beginning of eclipse season, so it’s especially important to give yourself grace if your progress hasn’t been straightforward. If your laundry hamper is overflowing, your sleep hygiene has been murky, or your boundaries seem to be made of tissue paper lately, tackle one little thing at a time, bit by bit. No need for a full life makeover. Just start with one cluttered drawer, one unproductive habit, or one overdue conversation — you know the one.
But it’s not all fresh school supplies and gold star stickers when Sol travels through Virgo. This mutable earth sign has a judgmental streak, so notice if you start nitpicking for no reason. Suddenly, you might be criticizing everyone — including yourself — for not meeting some impossible standard. Perfectionism can feel like the safest strategy, but it can also become a coping mechanism for avoiding discomfort.
Remember: You don’t have to wait for the “right” moment to soft-launch a new routine. A slightly sloppy trial run is better than not trying at all. You’ll learn much more about yourself when you leave space for mistakes. Let the messes teach you something. Let the plans change. Let yourself hit the snooze button, even if you haven’t “earned” an extra few minutes of sleep. The point isn’t doing it all; it’s doing what actually matters — and doing a good-enough job.
New Moons are always opportunities to begin again, but some are more urgent calls to action than others. Case in point: the New Moon in Virgo on August 22nd, which is squaring Uranus, the planet of shock and rebellion. This moment offers a green light for your most forward-thinking goals, especially for the systems, schedules, and practical tasks that organize your life. If you’ve been itching to explore an unfamiliar path outside of your comfort zone, trust that your restlessness is guiding you toward greater freedom. Change is rarely easy, but it tends to happen right on time. So feel the fear and make the bold move anyway, before the shake-ups of eclipse season.
If you’ve been gearing up for a self-care revolution, the lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7th is your cue to slow down and rest. This is the second act of a fateful story that began unfolding on September 17th, 2024, so think back to that time and consider any themes or situations that are resurfacing now. Unhelpful delusions and fantasies could be surging around this date, so this isn’t the moment to make any dramatic moves. Instead, give yourself the space you need to grieve what’s flowing out of your life and process the emotions that are bubbling up. Your system may be especially sensitive during this eclipse season, so do whatever helps you feel grounded. Stretch, hydrate, or call that friend who can give you a shoulder to cry on. Hold on to what anchors you whenever life feels like a lucid dream.
As if this Virgo season weren’t already eventful enough, it closes with a grand finale. On September 21st, a solar eclipse in Virgo invites you to evaluate the regimens and rituals that structure your days. Are they supporting your peace, or are you just micromanaging your own life? Because this eclipse occurs near the South Node, you might feel a heightened desire to release what’s not working. Ideally, this shedding will make room for practices that nourish you on a deeper level — not just quick fixes or viral trends. Just make sure you don’t throw away what actually is working in your cleaning spree. This eclipse is also opposing Saturn, which teaches us that intentional pivots are much wiser than an abrupt overhaul. Self-improvement is a long game, so take your sweet time.

Get your ducks in a row. Or at least draft a to-do list that makes it seem like you did. You don’t have to overhaul everything, but getting a grip on the small stuff (e.g., sleep, screens, snacks) will go farther than you think.
Start by setting a regular alarm to take a break from your work and feel human again. Taking care of yourself is about more than green juice. There’s no miracle cure. With the Sun in Virgo, trust the simple math of steady effort adding up.
You don’t have to be a creative genius to make something beautiful. But you do have to get started. With the Sun in Virgo, take your joy seriously, down to the last detail. Whether you dance in your kitchen, pick wildflowers, or flirt just for fun, let yourself play.
Your sense of delight doesn’t care if it’s “good enough” to post, so ditch the perfectionism trap. Something promising wants to grow through pleasure, not pressure. You don’t need a 5-year plan to begin — just one tiny spark. Light it.
Tackle the cabinets and closets you normally avoid. You know the ones — packed with old stories, memories, and inherited expectations that never quite fit. With the Sun in Virgo, clear out the clutter and refresh your idea of home.
This is a good time to ask yourself what belonging actually means to you — and how you can adjust your space to reflect that definition. Start small. Switch out those harsh lightbulbs for something softer. Pour out the murky water in that vase. And remember: Home begins with you.
Your mind isn’t a junk drawer. So why treat it like one? With the Sun in Virgo, it’s time to tidy up. The random notes in your phone, the half-finished texts, the errands you keep meaning to run — none of it is going to organize itself.
But this isn’t about being hyper-productive as a flex. One thoughtful tweak can go farther than 10 quick fixes. And the smartest system is the one you’ll stick to, even if it’s just setting aside a few minutes to answer your emails. Start there.
Money talks — but so do your stress levels. Stop treating your energy like it’s unlimited. Take stock of where your time, attention, and resources are actually going. Is anything quietly draining you? Are you getting something back? Are your spending habits aligned with your priorities?
With the Sun in Virgo, start with a small rebalancing act — a budget tweak, a dedicated receipt folder, a purchase you’ve been putting off that would make life easier. Your wellbeing is worth this investment.
Are you ready for your close-up? The coming weeks are a chance to reset your relationship with your body and your own magnetism. Self-focus isn’t selfish — and with the Sun in Virgo, it’s actually your smartest move.
Prioritize habits that restore your energy instead of draining it. Break down the details of that passion project you’ve been putting off. Whether you’re tweaking your wardrobe, cutting your bangs, or finally updating your bio, let it reflect the version of you that you’re becoming. The one that refuses to play it small.
Your R & R is no longer optional. With the Sun in Virgo, it’s non-negotiable. If your inner world has been feeling cluttered with critical thoughts, background stress, or low-key existential dread, give yourself permission to unplug.
The next few weeks are ideal for retreating and reflecting. Sneaky breakthroughs can arrive when you stop trying to solve everything. You don’t have to explain your healing process to anyone. Let your solo hours be a little mysterious. It’s where the magic is happening.
Time to emerge from your bat cave — and check the 1,000 group chat notifications you missed. With the Sun in Virgo, it’s easier to clarify who’s actually in your corner and what you’re building together.
This isn’t about networking for the sake of appearances. It’s about surrounding yourself with folks who really get it — your dreams, your high standards, your weirdly specific visions. Don’t just trade memes. Start the convo, pitch the thing, and rally the team. Big ideas need a crew. Make sure your people know you’re serious.
Your goals just called. They’re wondering if you’re still into them. With the Sun in Virgo, shift your attention to the bigger game plan: where you’re going, why it matters, and how to get there.
This isn’t about grinding for the sake of clout. It’s about aligning your effort with a purpose that actually energizes you. Get clear on what you want to be known for, and start showing up like you mean it. Your ambition doesn’t need to be flashy. Quiet focus can make (or steal) a scene.
Feeling restless? Good. That itch to learn, roam, or rethink everything is your cue to shake things up.
With the Sun in Virgo, it’s time to bring your red pen to your definition of what’s possible — and nail down the details of your next adventure. Whether that means booking a class, planning a trip, or just reading something that challenges your worldview, make the first micro-move.
Don’t worry if it doesn’t all add up yet. Big ideas are usually messy before they click into place.
Know the value you bring to the table. With the Sun in Virgo, your collaborations need more clarity. So hash out your boundaries early on to avoid resentment later. What are your goals? Would it help to get them down in writing?
Whatever you do, don’t expect anyone to be a mind-reader. If something feels fuzzy or the math isn’t mathing, say so. Self-advocate as assertively as possible. Remember: Your needs matter too. If someone’s worth having in your corner, they won’t be put off by your 1,000 questions.
Your annual relationship review is here. Whether it’s with a business partner, a best friend, or a romantic mate, it’s time to figure out what actually energizes you in a 1:1 commitment — and what secretly gives you the ick.
Notice how people show up for you in practical ways. If they don’t, give them detailed instructions. True intimacy isn’t built on mind-reading. It comes from honest communication and a willingness to meet in the messy middle. Think of this moment as a tune-up, not a teardown.
