Welcome back to Earth! Virgo season—spanning between August 22 and September 21—is one of the most eventful seasons of the year for two reasons. The first is that it brings the second eclipse season of the year, impregnating the air with a mysterious and spiritual vibe. Astrologically speaking, eclipses are universal agents for change and transformation—they are accelerated, time-traveling, and fateful events that mix the past with the present and the future. Significant endings and beginnings are on the menu, asking us to flow with what transpires in our lives. This is especially true during the two weeks between eclipses—September 7 and September 21. Your body might be tired now, craving rest and a deeper connection with spirit.
What’s special about this solar season is that it brings not two but three powerful lunar events. Instead of only one New Moon, Virgo season brings two of them, with one of them arriving immediately, on August 22. While deep transformation is the name of the game this Virgo season, we can count on the planting of seeds happening, too.
Eclipses are known for opening and closing doors. The first eclipse, the September 7 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, brings endings and the manifestation of long-held goals. Big opportunities will be available to some, most specifically, Virgo, Cancer, and Pisces. This eclipse is activating the expansive energy of Jupiter, so even if certain relationships or projects come to an end, a happy ending is in sight.
The second eclipse, the September 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo, begins powerful stories that will be present in our lives for a very long time. New jobs, new families, and new alliances will be formed at this time. Since there is a cold energy running through the cosmos now due to an activation of Saturn, the need to set boundaries and protect our bodies and our psyche.
Being an earth sign, Virgo energy is all about reconnecting with our bodies and the gifts that nature has for us. This zodiac sign’s sensitivity inspires a true mind, body, and spirit connection. Since Virgo is one of the most sensitive zodiac signs, tending to our bodies is now key!
Another reason why Virgo season is important is due to retrograde energy being highlighted. Saturn, the stern planet of responsibility and time, reenters Pisces, the zodiac sign it transited between March of 2023 and May of 2025. Between September 1 and November 27, retrograde Saturn in Aries brings lessons around spirituality, boundaries, and the manifestation of our dreams, more specifically, to the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces).
Uranus, the celestial maverick planet of change and brilliance, begins its retrograde in the sign of Gemini. If it’s been hard for you to adapt to all the changes that have occurred this year, this retrograde (September 5-February 3) will feel like a breather.
Below is how Virgo season will affect you. Read your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for extra advice.
Virgo Season Horoscopes
Aries
Prepare for a busy season, Aries! Virgo rules your sixth house of work, wellness, and daily routines, meaning that you will most likely have a lot of new projects landing on your lap. While some of the projects you’ve worked with for some time could come to an end, this season’s two new moons, happening on August 22nd and September 21st, could be about the beginning of projects but also bring the desire to incorporate new exercises. Alternatively, you could desire to incorporate more wellness-focused practices into your life. While this is great news, make sure you don’t overdo things. After all, with your planet, Mars, traveling in Libra all season long, you’re most likely needing more rest than normal. This will be particularly felt around the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, which activates a hidden place in your chart. The veil will be thinning now, giving you insights into the messages from your spirit guides and ancestors.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
Virgo season brings the activation of one of the most positive astrological events of 2025, which is the transit of Jupiter in Cancer. As we move between August and September, you could really feel something around your home, family, and private life grow and expand. Harness this energy by spending quality time with the ones you love and spending time near the water.
Watch Out For
Around September 16th, your planet, Mars, faces off with Chiron in your sign. Intense conversations and interactions could occur now, and patience might be required so that an old relationship wound is not reopened. Investing time in communicating from the heart could bring incredible healing to both parties.
Taurus
Keep up the inner exploration, Taurus. This Eclipse season promises to reawaken your inner muse as a total of two super powerful New Moons, supercharge your creativity sector. The more you experiment with new palettes and your processes and new ways of looking at your craft, the bigger the rebirth you will experience. This is particularly true around the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse. Besides bringing creativity, new relationships as well as new romances could be formed now. After all, you’re in a period during which the universe is paving the way for you to find soul-centered connections.
Your role or status is also highlighted this season as two planetary influences, the September 7th Full Moon Eclipse, as well as retrograde Saturn entering your 11th House of community, ask you to rethink your role in society. How can you work, your products, or your overall life focus bring more healing to the world? While the answers to these questions don’t need to come this season, they are important to approach.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
With your planet, Venus, traveling in the sign of Leo all season long, you could truly benefit from stepping into the spotlight! Showing your work as well as showing your accomplishments could really catch the right person’s attention during a time when fate and destiny are activated.
Watch Out For
Move carefully around August 25th, when Venus enters Leo and clashes with Pluto in Aquarius, this could see you torn between listening to your mind or listening to your heart. They might both be right, Taurus! What’s most important is that you find balance between the two, as Virgo season inspires you to find a true sense of wholeness.
Gemini
Your multitasking abilities might be really useful this season, Gemini. This Eclipse season highlights the balance between your private life and your career. On one side, you might be experiencing important new beginnings around your family, your home, or something very close to your heart around the August 22nd New Moon and later on the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo. Especially on the second lunar event, you could be saying hello to a new roommate or family member, or you might even be moving houses altogether.
All of this while big shifts are occurring in your career as the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and Saturn, the stern planet of hard work and responsibility, activate your 10th house of career and public visibility. Striking a sense of balance will be one of your priorities this season, especially as the planet of surprises and radical change, Uranus, begins to go retrograde in your sign around September 5th.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
This season, expect a strong desire to go on rabbit holes, Gemini. Starting September 2nd, your planet, Mercury, enters Intuitive and probing Scorpio. If you have something to research, write, or investigate, this planet sign combination, which only happens once a year, will help you get the job done. Your ability to focus on one subject will skyrocket at this time, so make the best of it!
Watch Out For
Since Eclipse season always brings the energy up a few notches, it’s important to keep our feet on the ground, especially when it comes to interacting with others. Around September 16th, the Mars-Chiron opposition could stir up some drama within your social circle, requiring patience and diplomacy in social or collaborative interactions.
Cancer
Prepare for communication overload, Cancer. Both the August 22nd New Moon and the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse fall in your communication sector, meaning that you will be receiving a lot of news. Your mind will be busy, and at times, it will be important that you make space to be alone with your thoughts and away from technology so that you can process all the information that is being delivered. Along those lines, the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse stirs up the sector of your chart that rules life philosophy, so don’t be surprised if this season inaugurates for you a new way to see the world.
The greatest news of all, however, is Saturn, the stern planet of responsibility that has been keeping you super busy at work, leaves your career sector on September 1st. Between now and mid-February, your workload, as well as the intensity that you might have been experiencing since March, could diminish.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
Your best Virgo season news is that Mars, the planet of action, is scheduled to energize the presence of Jupiter in your sign around September 2nd. You could run into all kinds of Lucky breaks right now, allowing you to expand, grow, or manifest some of your heart’s desires.
Watch Out For
The September 16th Mars/Chiron opposition could bring intense interactions related to your career, when your leadership skills might be tested. This will be a time to show everyone, with patience and diplomacy, that your unique gift is all about finding ways to do things differently, and no one can take that away from you!
Leo
Virgo season is going to bring a lot of clarity your way, Leo, and it will be the clarity that is very tangible. This eclipse season is highlighting your finances on two occasions, first with the arrival of a New Moon on August 22nd and then later in the season on the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo. A stream of income may transform or go away, making way for a new one to begin either now or down the road. If you share finances with someone, it would only be natural to have conversations around expenses, which will most likely occur at this September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.
You are currently in a year that is all about spiritual awakening, and in that sense of the word, you’ll be feeling abundant. The end of August and the beginning of September will be a time to dive into meditation, tarot, astrology, or any other esoteric practices that inspire communion with spirit and your soul.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
Venus, the planet of pleasure, love, and relationships, will be traveling in your sign from August 22nd to September 18th, bringing a time of the year during which you’re encouraged to socialize, have fun, and strut your stuff! Tapping into your creativity is also a fabulous way to harness the energy of this beautiful planet.
Watch Out For
Your sign is ruled by the sun, which in astrology is connected to creativity, light, and vitality. Between September 4th and September 17th, during the time the sun passes through the South node, you might feel very tired and out of energy. Boost your immune system with aromatherapy, vitamins, and, more specifically, rest.
Virgo
Welcome to your season of transformation, Virgo! With the South Node, the cosmic black hole, passing through your sign all year long, you are in the process of shedding your old skin, and this season that energy gets highlighted even more. The opening and closing off doors will be active around the August 22nd New Moon, but especially during the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse. While things and people could enter your life now, the energy is more about releasing and letting go. So, if you’ve been waiting for the right time to say goodbye to people, habits, and ways of thinking, this is one of the most powerful times to do so.
One of your highlights this season arrives at the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. Bringing an energy of expansion, you could really notice activating relationships in your life, more specifically, the area of collaborations, community, and hopes and dreams. September 15th, specifically, is a grandiose day for you to write a list of wishes, as this is a day when the universe will be listening.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
A project, partnership, or commitment that seems to have vanished around March could come back into your life as retrograde Saturn enters your relationship sector on September 1. Whatever comes back now could require a lot of focus, deep work, and might remain in your life until mid-February.
Watch Out For
Watch your words between September 8th and September 15th, when Mercury, the planet of communication, meets with the cosmic black hole in your sign. This might also be a time when you become aware of certain beliefs or ways of thinking that no longer feel relevant.
Libra
Virgo season has a very dual energy for you, Libra. On one end, you will be pretty busy at work, especially around the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, which will skyrocket your productivity. Around the same time, expansive Jupiter is going to be activating your career sector, so this is definitely a season during which you could get a new job, elevate your position, or have your name be known in your industry.
What’s important to keep in mind is that while eclipses make us all feel a little tired and in need of rest, you will be feeling this the most. At times, you could be feeling exhausted for no reason, and that’s totally okay! You’ll be feeling this at the August 22nd New Moon, but especially during the ultra-potent September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse. Making sure that you’re resting, pampering, and practicing self-care now to ensure that you put your best foot forward when it is required of you.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
You naturally love helping people, and with Venus, the socialite, traveling in your friendship and community sector starting August 25th, no one will be able to say no to you. So if you ever need a hand with a project or a social favor, make sure to cash out all the karma points you’ve accumulated over the years.
Watch Out For
Around September 2nd, the class between Mars and Chiron could open the door for a sensitive subject or conversation to come back. More than avoiding it, Libra, this is a time to be honest about the way you feel, as if you don’t, the theme is sure to come back at a later time.
Scorpio
You have a socially charged season ahead of you, Scorpio! Your friendship and community sector is especially highlighted now, with friends from the past coming back into your orbit, most likely at the August 22nd New Moon. Alternatively, you might decide to make some changes to your social circle or the role you play in your community at the ultra-powerful September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse.
After all, Venus, the socialite planet, will be traveling in the most visible place in your astrological chart, meaning that you will be attending a lot of events and spending time out and about. If you’ve been waiting for the time to make a public announcement, September 15 is ideal as Venus boosts your charisma. Do keep in mind that Mars is still traveling in your resting sector, which means that at times, you might just have to practice a little bit more self-care than usual. This will be particularly true around September 16th, when relationships at work become intensified.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
With the lucky planet Jupiter being active in your life philosophy sector, this would be a time to travel to a new destination, one that promises to expand your horizons. Jupiter energy will be most activated between September 1st and September 16th. If you’re not interested in traveling physically, you can harness this energy by learning something new.
Watch Out For
While the presence of Venus in your tenth house of public visibility will be mostly positive, keep an eye on the days around August 25th, when you might get insight into the subconscious beliefs that might be keeping you from reaching your goals or making your dreams come true.
Sagittarius
Virgo season promises to be a time of transformation for you, dear Archer. You are in the process of redefining how you approach your work and even what the concept of a happy and successful career looks like to you. The August 22nd New Moon highlights this focus, which has been part of your 2025 journey, and while the potent September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse doesn’t completely close the door on this transformation, it does give you an idea of where you’re beginning to stand. After all these changes to how you approach this area of your life are set to be completely done in the summer of 2026.
The other eclipse, the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, highlights the other area of your life that is just as important, as it activates your home and family sector. This fated eclipse could herald the arrival of a new family member, a new home, or a deeper commitment within a partnership.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
With your planetary ruler, Jupiter, being super active this season, Sagittarius, you might decide to do one of your favorite things, to focus on travel or exploration. As you make your way through uncharted territory, you might need beautiful souls who, like you, are in search of life’s biggest answers. If traveling isn’t on your mind, taking a master class or picking up a new book would be another way to harness Jupiter’s influence.
Watch Out For
Communication could be tricky between September 8th and September 15th, as Mercury passes through the South Node of Destiny in your career sector. Under this energy, it’s best to back up any important files and be prepared for unexpected conversations or questions during important meetings.
Capricorn
Big shifts are on the horizon, Capricorn! You will experience the effects of this eclipse season in a very intellectual manner, which promises to change your groove and approach to life. The August 22nd New Moon makes it obvious that the world is changing around you, and one month later, by the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse, you’re starting to realize what this all means for you at a practical level. It’s all very interesting, as right in the middle, the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces arrives with a huge message that opens your eyes to a certain truth.
At times, it might feel like the universe is playing a game—but it’s not! As your planet, Saturn, reenters Pisces on September 1st, projects, people, and even ideas from the past are coming back into your life. But instead of a full return to the past, what you’re being given is the opportunity to wrap up anything that wasn’t completely finished between March of 2023 and May of 2025.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
If you are interested in dating or cultivating closer, more intimate friendships, both Venus and Jupiter will be helping you out all season long. The days between September 1st and September 9th are particularly positive—anyone you meet now could become something more later down the road.
Watch Out For
Since you will be working extra hard due to Mars, the planet of drive, remaining in your career sector all season, make sure to make space to spend quality time with the ones you love, too. This will be particularly necessary around September 16th.
Aquarius
Get ready to uncover deep, profound insights, Aquarius! For you, Virgo season is always about discovering how your approach to intimate relationships is constantly evolving. And this Virgo season in particular, you’re peeling off the layers of your heart, first at the August 22nd New Moon, and then even more strongly at the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse. Since eclipses bring radical change, don’t be surprised if your approach to partnership, intimacy, and sex experiences a full-on overhaul. You will feel this the most when it comes to interacting with either a romantic partner or a very close friend.
On a more tangible note, the September 7th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse highlights your finances. Since this eclipse is activating expansive Jupiter in your work house, it’s possible that you could receive a raise, land a big client, or see some of your assets go up. Similarly, this eclipse is going to activate a work-related, expensive energy, most likely boosting your workload or client list.
Your Eclipse Season Tip
If you’re single and interested in meeting new people, or even just friends, Venus traveling in your relationship sector starting August 25th could put you face-to-face with interesting personalities. Aquarius season is definitely a time to put yourself out there and get out and about.
Watch Out For
When Saturn, the stern planet of limitations, reenters your second house around September 1st, you might be tempted to splurge on something. And while you should be honoring your desires, you might break a boundary that, at some point, was important to keep your finances in good shape.
Pisces
You are experiencing a process during which the universe is paving the way for you to make your dreams come true, Pisces, and Virgo season is one of the highlights of this year-and-a-half process. Part of this journey of coming back to yourself and your own desires involves releasing limiting beliefs about your relationships, and that is the theme about both the August 22nd New Moon and one month later, the September 21st New Moon Solar Eclipse. If you have been wanting to express your desire for change within an important relationship, these are by no means the perfect moments to do so.
Right in between, on September 7th, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign, bringing loads of inspiration around how you to bring your most cherished vision to reality. This lucky and rare lunar event awakens your creativity and might even rally some of your friends to contribute to your idea or cause. All you need to do is ask!
Your Eclipse Season Tip
A blast from the past could be in store as Saturn, the planet of limitations, returns to your sign, bringing back something that occurred between March of 2023 and May of 2025. This is not necessarily a call to return, but mainly an opportunity for integration or realignment concerning something really important that occurred in your life during that time.
Watch Out For
You might feel a little nervousness when Uranus, the planet of change and disruption, is supercharged in your home sector As It prepares to go retrograde. If you feel anxiety or restlessness, it is your intuition trying to guide you or help you download information that is crucial for your personal growth at this time. Sitting in meditation and opening the gates for your intuition to speak to you could be the catalyst for a breakthrough.
