Virgo Season Astrology Guide: Wine Pairings by Zodiac House

Virgo Season August 23 - September 22

Virgo is a mutable earth sign that is ruled by Mercury. Virgo is exacting, introspective and very interested in intelligent systems - especially if those systems are focused on healing. Virgo, represented by the Virgin, is always in the process of putting something together, efficiently. And often that process involves getting rid of whatever is no longer needed.

But let's talk about the Virgin symbolism, because it might not be exactly what you think it is. Instead of associating "virgin" with someone young, inexperienced or naive, the ancient meaning of "virgin" referred to "those who belonged to themselves". Virgo's are disciplined and devoted to systems and especially to their inner world. While that may occasionally come off as aloof, or closed off, they often don't mean it personally, they're just a bit lost in their own inner world. Virgo season is a time for practically grounding our lives, get focused on organization and the systems that will make life flow a little easier for you in the long run.

To find out where Virgo is in your chart, you need to calculate your Rising Sign. The Rising sign is based on the date, location and exact time of your birth. There are tons of free calculators out there if you don't already know your Rising sign, personally we love Chani!
