It’s Virgo Season, Baby! The Earth That Grounds, The Fire That Purifies
Podcast Episode 81: Soul Arcana: Virgo Season Baby!
Sydney and I chat about the energy of Virgo, the 10 of Cups tarot card, and how to navigate this potent month with intention, rituals, and grounding practices. Available on: Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube
Cue the confetti made of neatly hole-punched paper: Virgo season is here, and the vibe is immaculate. Literally. The Sun’s in Virgo, the Moon’s in Virgo—hello new moon reset—and the cosmos are handing us a fresh spreadsheet for our souls. Arguably the best sign in the zodiac, I’m biased because my sun in is Virgo, but let’s be real: Virgo is the quiet architect of miracles, the sign that proves devotion is a kind of magic.
The Virgo New Moon and Solar month begins today, August 22nd, and with it one of the most transformational seasons of the year opens before us. Virgo season has always been powerful, but this year? The cosmos turned up the volume. We’re entering a month-long journey marked by two New Moons in Virgo—a rare double activation. The first one arrives today, while the second comes as a Solar Eclipse on September 21st.
This pairing is nothing short of alchemical. It’s a mirror for the deepest wound that keeps us from manifesting: the voice that whispers, “you’re not ready yet.”
Tomorrow’s Virgo New Moon reminds us that the key has always been in our pocket. The breakthrough comes not when we fix ourselves, not when we achieve more, but when we finally remember: we are already enough, exactly as we are.
Welcome to Virgo season, baby. Let’s dig in.
The Virgo Frequency
Virgo is mutable earth: the healer, the analyst, the ritualist, the quiet miracle worker. As a double-bodied sign, Virgo straddles thresholds—day into night, light into dark, summer into autumn. This is the priestess who harvests grain while lighting lanterns for the coming night.
Virgo’s magic lies in paradox: humble yet powerful, simple yet meticulous, grounded yet mercurial. It’s devotion in action—the reminder that care, given consistently, is its own form of enchantment.
Mercury & Mars: The Brain and the Blade
Mercury, Virgo’s ruler, thrives here. Words sharpen into precision, thoughts become order, and ideas transform into practical systems. Mercury in Virgo is like a fine-toothed comb for the chaos of life.
Mars steps in as the muscle behind the plan. Together, Mercury drafts the blueprint and Mars picks up the saw. This is thought + action, strategy + execution, vision + momentum.
Virgo’s Secret Flame: The Aries Connection
Though Virgo is earth, esoteric traditions whisper of a hidden conjunction with Aries. Here lies Virgo’s quiet fire—the refining flame that burns away impurities.
Purity isn’t perfectionism; it’s distillation. Virgo holds the sacred role of removing what is false, what clogs the channel, what blocks the flow. If Aries strikes the match, Virgo keeps the fire steady until the gold gleams free of dross.
Virgo & Karma: Cosmic Accountability
Virgo knows the forces of karma are always in play. But this isn’t about punishment—it’s about stewardship. Virgo’s order is a clearing for grace. When Virgo says, “tidy your altar, clean your desk, honor your word,” it’s not aesthetics; it’s alignment.
Every checklist, every ritual, every small act of care whispers to the universe: I am ready. I am listening. I am willing to work with the flow.
Light & Shadow of Virgo
Light traits:
Healing intelligence; transforms details into devotion
Clear-sighted refinement; sees the diamond in the rough
Competence that calms chaos; service as sacred act
Shadow traits:
Perfectionism; believing worth is conditional
Endless nitpicking and self-criticism
Analysis paralysis; over-serving while neglecting self
Alchemy tip: Direct Virgo’s critique into refinement, not destruction. Choose one thing to improve, then let it rest. Completion, not compulsion, is the true Virgo gift.
The Virgo New Moon: A Clean Slate
Today’s New Moon in Virgo is your cosmic reset button. New Moons are blank pages; Virgo’s is a brand-new dotted notebook with color-coded tabs.
Ritual for alignment
Clear space: Wipe down a surface, light a simple candle. Whisper: I welcome order that supports my joy.
Name three merciful intentions: small, measurable, kind.
Design micro-actions: one daily and one weekly move for each.
Seal with flame: Pass your list over candlelight (safely), visualizing Virgo’s hidden Aries fire burning off impurities.
Affirm: I am already enough. My devotion is my power. My care is catalytic.
Eclipse Season Ahead: The Cosmic Switches
This Virgo cycle comes with two powerful eclipses—a one-two punch of transformation.
Sept 7–8: Total Lunar Eclipse — emotional culmination, release, and endings
Sept 20–21: Partial Solar Eclipse / Virgo New Moon #2 — breakthroughs, re-directions, initiation
How to work with them:
Before Sept 7: declutter, tie loose ends, finish the half-finished
Sept 7–8 window: let what ends, end. Don’t patch leaks the universe wants gone
Between eclipses: audit your habits, systems, and energy investments
Sept 20–21: step boldly into new territory. Say yes to clarity, no to noise
Virgo in the Body
Virgo rules the gut—the second brain, the seat of instinct. Care for your body like a beloved co-worker: feed it rhythms, let it rest, give it tools that work. The wisdom of the body is Virgo’s favorite oracle.
(This is spiritual guidance, not medical advice.)
A Mini-Ritual for Purity & Power
Write a self-doubt on a scrap of paper.
Sprinkle salt, fold away from you, place under a stone.
Speak: Only what serves may stay.
Revisit after the Sept 21 Eclipse—release if the weight has lifted.
The Takeaway
Virgo season 2025 is no ordinary tidy-up—it’s a purification journey. Two New Moons, two eclipses, Mercury’s precision, Mars’ drive, and Virgo’s secret Aries fire combine into one long initiation.
The voice that says “you’re not ready yet” is dissolving in the Virgoan flame. You are already enough—not after you achieve more, not when you’re flawless, but here, now, as you are.
This is the season to set your systems, clear your space, and claim your power. Virgo ushers the light into the dark; you are the lantern-bearer.
Happy Virgo Season, baby. ✨
