Virgo season will ‘create chaos’ as astrologer reveals the four Zodiac signs most affected

Taking place from August 22 to September 22, Virgo season will be a seriously impactful month for some signs in particular

Virgo season is officially upon us, as a long hot summer is beginning to wrap up and crisp autumn days are on the horizon.

The cosmic period kicks off on Saturday (22 August) and will last an entire month until 22 September.

If you're still recovering from the chaos that was Leo season, you'll be glad that Virgo season is the time to focus on 'grounding activities' and the perfect opportunity to get organised.

However, that doesn't mean it comes without some pretty big and chaotic impacts, especially for four Zodiac signs in particular.

In the Northern Hemisphere, Virgo season occurs during the last month of summer. This means school is about to start, and we are focusing on how to savor the last warm days of the year.

It’s a time of contemplation and reflection as we take stock of time - in the sense that the celebration and joviality of the dog days we are leaving behind and the new era we are stepping into on September 22, when the Sun enters Libra and the Fall Equinox begins.

Read on for everything you need to know about Virgo season, including the Zodiac signs that will feel its impacts the most.

Key information about Virgo

Dates: August 22 to September 22

Symbol: The Maiden or Virgin

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Element: Earth

Modality: Mutable

Traits: Patient, honest, intelligent, caring, and gentle.

What to expect from Virgo Season

As the weeks progress, we will focus our energy on incorporating grounding activities that fit the realities of daily life. For instance, set a schedule that encourages a good night's sleep and helps you rise and shine in the morning, ready to take on the day; and for those who like to indulge in self-care, create routines and regimens that offer relaxation and TLC.

Organization is essential, but not necessary. Finding a mindset that works best for you is vital. I’ve known quite a few messy Virgos, so don’t pay mind to astrological stereotypes.

What sets this Virgo season apart from the others is that there is a lunar eclipse in Pisces that occurs on August 28. Mercury in Virgo and Uranus in Gemini activate this lunation.

Mercury is the planet of communication, which rules Virgo, and Uranus is the planet of discord. The Moon in Pisces, Mercury in Virgo, and Uranus in Gemini come together in a fraught way called a T-square because it creates a figure similar to the letter 'T' in the sky.

Now, what it does to us earthlings is create chaos because the astrological aspect is in mutual signs, so those planets go with the flow and react based on the energy being thrown their way.

Sometimes havoc can be good because it allows us to transcend and grow beyond our comfort zones, but while it's happening, it can be very confusing, regardless of the enlightenment that is to come; therefore, the eclipse on August 28 is going to be erratic and eye-opening.

Hopefully, our Virgo tendencies (shout out to Keke Palmer) are going to keep us in check as we navigate through the weeks ahead.

The zodiac signs most affected by Virgo season will be the mutable signs - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

Gemini

Geminis, you'll be on the path to an 'inner glow-up' (Tyla)

The derived fourth house in Gemini's chart is going to be activated by the Sun in Virgo.

This means the air sign will spend more time internalizing and focusing on how they can evolve in a soulful way. If that requires Gemini to separate from their friends for a minute, then so be it.

Looking back and reconnecting with family members will be pivotal to Gemini's healing process, rather than shooting for their shot in the limelight.

The twin star is looking for ways to have an inner glow-up, which means finding meaningful modalities to understand their behaviors, fears, and desires on an intricate level.

Virgo

Meanwhile, Virgos will be embracing their season and 'returning to themselves' (Tyla)

With their solar return on the horizon, Virgos are returning to themselves. It's been a long time since they felt confident and able to be seen by others, which is why the astrology of this month is going to be the best birthday gift to them ever.

A moment without uncertainty to unwind is more valuable to the earth sign than a floral bouquet. Silence and quiet are worth the wait - as long as they use their strength to get through the lunar eclipse, everything else will come up roses.

Now, that is a vibe and sentiment every Virgo can celebrate!

Sagittarius

While they will be flying career-wise, Sagittariuses could get caught up in romantic drama (Tyla)

The archer sees significant advances in their career during Virgo season. The caveat is that interpersonal relationships may interfere with their ability to function at the office.

As a result, Sagittarius may get caught up in romantic drama and let it consume them, causing their work to suffer.

The best advice is for Sagittarius to leave these matters at home and start every day fresh with a new mindset; that way, they won't be burdened by issues manifesting behind the scenes.

It is also advisable for Sagittarius to meditate during their lunch break to relieve external stressors that are weighing on their shoulders.

Pisces

Pisces, you should prepare for some heated conversations (Tyla)

Pisces are paying more attention to their relationships. The Sun in Virgo lights up the partnership sector of their derived seventh house, urging them to connect deeply with others.

The one thing that Pisces should watch out for is that the Sun is also igniting the house of open enemies, which the seventh house also represents, so they may have a few arguments with those they thought were their friends.

It’s okay to disagree with others, as long as both parties have valid points. Finding a middle ground to make up might be challenging if neither party wants to do the work.
