When the Sun is in Virgo, you can expect a deeper connection with Mother Nature, a greater concern for physical health, and a greater ability to pay attention to details. As an earth sign, Virgo encourages hard work and a sensible nature.
Today we’re going to explore what we like about Virgo energy, and what to expect during the Virgo season.
To start, let’s look at the strengths and weaknesses of Virgo energy.
Virgo strengths
Virgo is one of the most organized and orderly signs of the zodiac. With close attention to detail, Virgo can focus on tedious or time-consuming tasks with ease and grace.
Have you felt like organizing your room, your entire house, or even your car? Virgo makes these tasks seem easy.
This sign is practical and purposeful, putting you in a sensible state of mind. It is easier to detach from your emotions when the The sun is in Virgo because you are focused on practical matters and goals.
Virgo does Also a sign of service. Virgos love to help their fellow man and do what they can to help those they care for.
As the zodiac’s natural caregiver, Virgo’s energy encourages you to not only spend more time with your loved ones, but also be there for them emotionally and physically.
While Leo’s energy may have prompted you to focus on yourself, Virgo reminds you to think about others as well.
As an earth sign, Virgo also promotes thoroughness and a steady pace. Leo may have amplified your passion and energy, making you feel more impulsive and act faster. However, Virgo reminds you to take your time and complete your work carefully.
Virgin season areas for growth
Each sign in the zodiac has its own weaknesses, and Virgo is no exception.
This sign is prone to overthinking and worrying, the more extreme versions of attention to detail. When the Sun is in Virgo, you may get too caught up in the details and it may seem impossible to let go of a particular thought or concern that has your attention.
Virgo does Also a sign of perfectionism, and it can push you to renew your work again and again until you discover no more flaws.
While Perfectionism can be beneficial for certain projects, but it can also hinder creativity and the effortless flow of talent. Try not to do it fFocus on perfectionism, otherwise you might become obsessed with the idea. Remember that sometimes shortcomings are the best part of a person or a project: try to discover the beauty within them.
Finally, this zodiac sign likes order, but perhaps too much.
Virgo likes to set a plan and stick to it, which may not leave much room for fluidity or a go-with-the-flow attitude. Virgo’s energy can be rigid, making it feel difficult to relax and enjoy the moment – especially if the moment is not thoroughly planned and executed well.
It may be difficult, but you will have to remind yourself to lighten up during this time. Being too stiff and immobile is not compatible with being helpful to others!
What to expect during Virgo season
Now that we’ve learned more about the traits that make Virgo such a unique sign, let’s focus on what to expect during Virgo season.
1. Embody the energy of the hermit
Virgo is represented in the Tarot by the Hermit card, a card associated with spending time alone, reflection and deep philosophizing.
While Leo season may have encouraged you to be social and put yourself out there, Virgo season challenges you to spend time with yourself in solitude, focusing on topics and ideas that will help you to rediscover the beauty of your inner dialogue.
Spending time alone can help you reconnect with your nature and learn more about what you want in life. Being a hermit allows you to reevaluate your life and reframe your current goals and objectives.
2. Channel Virgo’s sense of order
Virgo is depicted by the symbol of the Virgin, who is usually holding some sort of harvest or a sheaf of wheat. This symbol represents the caring, generous nature of Virgo, who loves to receive and help his guests.
Virgo’s exaggerated attention to detail comes in handy, for example, when organizing a dinner party or family evening. You leave nothing to chance and ensure that every aperitif, game, film or activity ties in with a specific theme. No one leaves a Virgo party with an empty stomach or a frown!
But if a party is not in order, good planning and an eye for detail know no bounds. Put those skills to the test by orchestrating a project, being a valuable team player for someone else, or getting the rest of your 2024 planner in order.
The possibilities are endless.
3. Focus on the big picture
Unfortunately, when the Sun is in Virgo, we are more likely to worry about the little things.
All this increased attention to detail can make it seem impossible to focus on the big picture, but it’s crucial that you try. When you obsess over the little things, it is harder to see everything that is beautiful and running smoothly in your life.
These obsessive thoughts reinforce anxiety or completely undermine the purpose of wanting to be productive in the first place! It may feel difficult, but you have to learn it let it go this month.
Practicing gratitude can help you reconnect with the big picture, allowing you to focus on your achievements, your health, and your happiness. This Virgo season, make sure you don’t get caught in a cycle of overthinking and ruminating.
Repeat after us: “Don’t worry about the little things.”
4. Do the hard work
This is the time to get things done, whether you’re a Virgo or not. When the Sun moves through Virgo, we are filled with a surge of energy that encourages us to put down the TV remote and get to work – even in a challenging year like this.
Even though many of our normal routines have been disrupted, now is still the perfect time to get moving toward your goals and dreams.
All this productive energy will make you feel like you can conquer the world, but don’t forget to take time for rest and relaxation. If you don’t allow your mind and body to recover from the stress you place on it, you may become emotionally exhausted or physically burned out.
So appreciate the productive energy, but try to maintain a balance.
5. Work on your well-being
Virgo is associated with the 6th house, the House of Health.
This House connects to our immediate environment, including our homes, work environment, family and even pets. As the Sun moves through Virgo, you may feel a sudden, overwhelming urge to focus on strengthening your immune system and stretching your limbs.

However, don’t forget to treat yourself every now and then!
6. Get intimate
