Hello and Welcome to Virgo Season 2025!
This season starts with a New Moon that supports being intentional and ritualistic around setting up new routines that nourish the physical body and build supportive habits as we shift into the intense energy of eclipses season and Pluto moving out of bounds. Virgo is about tending to the mundane detail in our life, getting organized, refining the details. We can use this season to organize our inbox, create new habits, update our calendars, examine our spending habits, edit our systems, clean out and clear out the junk drawer, and offer help and support to those around us who may need it.

August 22nd/23rd: New Moon in Virgo
August 26th: Pluto opposite Venus
August 29th: Pluto out of bounds
September 7th: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
September 21st: Solar Eclipse in Virgo
