Virgo Easy on Yourself

Your New Lustorascope Is Here!

It’s Virgo’s time to shine and you know what that means—the urge to organize will soon be upon you. And honestly, as most of us are coming back to school, back from a sunny vacay, back from a delusional summer fling, back on the wagon, or just back in general—we could use some of that Virgo good influence to clean up the mess we’ve made these last few weeks. We’re also facing down the end of summer, so we could use a Virgo-inspired to-do list to make the most of the time that’s left.

Speaking of time, there are some significant stellar shuffles happening in September that’ll have you turning it back for a couple weeks (any longer and Cher’s legal department might get involved). Eclipses are kind of like a ride in a time machine, they’re gateways between the past and the future. The magic kicks off with a full moon lunar eclipse on September 7 and then comes back for an encore on September 21, the night of a new moon solar eclipse (though it’ll only be visible in the most southern regions of the globe, its effects will still be felt by us all). You’ll emerge a changed person, and since Virgo’s an earth sign, you may even find yourself more attuned to nature in the form of more sustainable, eco-friendly fashion and subtle yet stunning sparkles.

Read on to see what Virgo season has in store for your sign…

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Work It, Aries

The sun is blasting through the windows of your sixth house, your hub of “get s#!t done” efficiency and daily routines. So if you’ve got a long list of things you’re absolutely aching to do, here’s your massive, cosmic green light to get started. Perfection in body and mind might be a bit lofty as far as goals go, but any and all upgrades you’re able to achieve in terms of your health and happiness would be major wins. Finding a new, less despicable fitness plan, beautifying your home with new furnishings or artwork, or selecting a new signature jewelry piece would all be pretty impressive, if you ask us! Focus on what makes you feel good and don’t worry about what you’ve decided other people think. Y’know, the stuff that nobody actually thinks at all, but you torture yourself about anyway? Say buh-bye to all that and get busy livin’!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You’re a Star, Taurus

Yeah, summer’s almost over, big whoop. Tauruses have something even better to look forward to thanks to the sun illuminating your fifth house, the one that’s focused on pleasure, creativity, fame, joy, and romance—basically all your favorite things. Now that all eyes are on you and you’re at your creative peak, it’s time to step back into the spotlight. Just make sure you’re looking good when you get there! Luckily, you’ll be in the perfect mindset to create your new look, one that’s powerful, revealing, and unforgettable. Break out your funky prints and bold color pops—don’t be afraid to make a statement. The eclipses will equip you with a little extra ooh-la-la oomph, just enough to catch the attention of that special someone.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Get Comfy, Gemini

Some people like to end the summer with a bang, but you’re going to end it with a nap. That’s right, Gemini, this Virgo season, the sun will be highlighting your fourth house, the one that’s dedicated to home, comfort, and all things domestic. Right now, the universe is telling you to fluff up some pillows, find your blankie of choice, and get ready for some midafternoon me time on the couch. It may seem more than a bit sedentary, but after the socially exhausting summer you’ve experienced, now is when you’ll get to spend some quality time with numero uno—that’s right, yourself! You’ve been neglecting your self-care rituals of late, so go ahead and catch up on your favorite show, start a new book, or go online shopping (heaven forbid you should have to leave the house!). Enjoy your lazy time at home while it lasts, because once Virgo season reaches its end, your living situation is due for a shakeup, be it some new digs or maybe a new roommate…

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Dazzle Us, Cancer

Are you really a Cancer? If we didn’t know better we could’ve sworn you were a Dancer! The sun’s in your third house, glowing up your communication skills and the mastery of your immediate environment. You’ll spend Virgo season as the life of the party and while you might expect there to be a downside here, a reminder that sometimes you have to save your pennies and maybe eat a can of beans for dinner and all that stuff, um, well, not this time! You’re going to meet some exciting new people, make hilarious memories, and even impress others with your quick wit. Your public will demand more, because one of you simply isn’t enough. Sounds like the perfect time to write a book, start a podcast, or make some art. This buzz around you won’t last forever, so take advantage of the good times while they’re here!

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Make It Rain, Leo

This eclipse-a-riffic Virgo season is highlighting your financial sector (AKA your second house) and inspiring you with some of that famous Virgo industriousness. The time has come to part ways with some of your hard-earned cash, but not exactly in the form of a spending spree. Nope, this is the responsible kind of spending. But hey, that doesn’t mean it has to be all boring investment stuff. No, it might just be an “investment” in yourself and your future, the kind of expenditure that makes your day-to-day easier and more full of joy. Is there a coffee gadget that’d upgrade your morning routine? Sounds responsible to us! Maybe a new piece of jewelry that you can wear everyday because it looks good with everything? Now that’s what we call simplicity! It all starts with a simple donation to the happier, less stressed, and thus, more efficient version of you fund. Ka-ching!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Stick to the Plan, Virgo

Hey Virgo, it’s ya birthday, gonna make a ranked list of priorities like it’s ya birthday… If you’ve been ready to let go of the old to break in some new, your birthday is a sign to get the process underway. The eclipses that turned up for your party will help you to move on too, forming a big cosmic “EXIT” sign for the toxic crud you’re ready to 86 from your life. As for setting new, positive goals, this is where your listmaking prowess will come in clutch—that wasn’t a joke before, seriously, get a pen and paper! Top the list with the dreamiest, loftiest life goal you can cook up, nothing is out of bounds. The universe is finally ready to listen to what you’re scheming up and give you a nice little boost in the right direction (the universe obviously ran out of time to present shop, but the gesture is appreciated!).

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Find Your Chill, Libra

This Virgo season, your emphasis is going to be on R & R. This eclipse business takes a lot out of us all, but that goes double for you, Libra. Frankly, you’re about to be exhausted. But, there will still be plenty to keep you entertained while you’re at home in your sweats. That’s because Mr. Golden Sun is charging up your twelfth house, the one that’s all about dreams, intuition, and closure. Whatever answers you’ve been seeking are finally going to reveal themselves to you and it’ll feel pretty damn good when they do. If that isn’t enough excitement for you, remember that closing up one chapter also means starting a new one—and with Jupiter empowering your career sector, you may be looking at some exciting changes to your professional life…

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Say Hello, Scorpio

You’ve got the gift of gab, Scorpio, and the card attached says that it’s from the sun, currently taking up residence in your eleventh house, the sector of friendship and networking. Virgo season will be all about new connections (friend requests IRL) that will propel your personal and profesh lives into an exciting new arena. And if the sun power isn’t enough for you, you’ve also got Venus, the party girl planet, cruising through your tenth house, the one that rules your career. It’s bound to get a little messy, figuring out which of your new frands are business buds and which are pleasure pals, but follow your intuition and see where it leads you and try not to take yourself too seriously!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Time for an Upgrade, Sagittarius

Ladders, they’re not just for reaching high up stuff, they’re also a handy metaphor for your work goals. Lucky for you, the sun is giving your tenth house some extra zing and since that particular house is the one that’s obsessed with your success and livelihood, you might just climb another rung or two this Virgo season. Point your arrow to the professional role of your dreams and let that baby fly. While the solar eclipse in September represents transformation, that doesn’t mean that your promotion is a done deal just yet, but the wheels are turning. While you wait, why not start dressing the part with a bold new look that screams “boss”?

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Make Room for Adventure, Capricorn

Virgo season puts your ninth house into the spotlight, which means it's the time for exploration, learning, and intellect. So yes, you will likely be hitting the road for new sights to see, but your destination will be one that has a lot to offer your brain instead of your body. Sure, the beach is nice, but so is the history museum, the art institute, really cool bookstores or libraries, or maybe even an interesting roadside curio (hello, world’s largest corn muffin!). You might even run into an old face while you’re out of town, thanks to Saturn entering your sign and bringing a past acquaintance as its plus one. Your trip might just be one down memory lane!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Go Deeper, Aquarius

You’re going on a journey to the center of Aquarius this Virgo season. Between the transformative solar eclipse and the sun lighting up your eighth house of intimacy, magic, sex, and even more transformation, some big, spicy changes are coming down the pike for everyone’s favorite water bearer. Say goodbye to surface level relationships, any and all unserious romantic partners need not apply. Your ideal dreamboat is one that’ll join you on the mission to find the monumental answers that you seek, the ones that form the firmament of the brand new you. As you might imagine, this level of soul-searching will absolutely mean that your relationship is about to take the next step—whether that means a deeper bond or splitsville is for us to know and you to find out…

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces, Meet Your Match

Swing your partner, do-si-do, because the sun is shining down on your seventh house, the one that’s dedicated to marriage and business partnerships, which is kinda like a marriage too, if you think about it, but just the part of marriage where you talk about budgets and what people want to eat for lunch. That’s not the only news coming down the Pisces pipeline, the September 7 lunar eclipse is happening in your sign and gifting you with a massive dose of creative inspiration. So there you go, you’ve got the inspo and a teammate by your side whose talents complement your own—the time is now to turn your dreams into reality, whether that means an exhilarating new work venture or a passion project closer to home. Make us proud, Pisces!
