Virgo Season runs between August 23rd and September 22nd, a month that sees us return back-to-school with pencils sharpened, a fresh kit and keen, eager minds ready for work and stimulation! It’s a time for us all to check in with tools we have at our disposal, which allow us to do our jobs well or chip away at our craft. Historically, the Sun’s tour of Virgo would see harvest in full swing, the wheat being sorted from the chaff. Produce was busily gathered, stored and preserved in anticipation of leaner times that lay ahead. Similarly, those born in this window have an advantage in this regard – perceptive, astute and naturally adept at sifting through what’s useful (or not). These people have a sixth sense, a shrewd ‘gut instinct’ for the necessities, seamlessly identifying what’s nutritious and discarding anything less!

They’re proficient and efficient

Your Virgo friend is typically sensible, prepared and can accurately read the task at hand – getting things right according to information available. At times they’ll be on top of it all but not always. You’ll find Virgo routinely practices healthy habits as they see fit – they’ll either boast a meticulous appearance: pressed shirt, matching socks and underwear (the starched collars of Tom Ford and Karl Lagerfeld a testament to this fastidious trait). Or, in lieu of external cleanliness, they’ll enjoy a tidy mind, well-versed in their interests, facts or figures stored, logged and labelled. They might impress you with a flawless rendition on the piano or surprise you via another skillset they’ve quietly fine-tuned.

Virgos understand the assignment

Praised as ‘best dressed’ at the 2022 Met Gala, Blake Lively is one Virgo who’s ‘on point’ when it comes to her choices. The same can be said for Zendaya, Poppy Delevingne, Stella McCartney and Billy Porter. Modest and understated, they’ll step it up when it’s called for and appropriate. Note this tendency to get things ‘just so’ can lead to excellence but also worry.
