Smart, detail-oriented, and sharp as a tack, it’s likely that we all wish we had a bit of Virgo in our lives now and then. Spoiler: you don’t actually have to wish!
With Virgo season in full swing, it’s important that you know not only what Virgo represents but also where it lands in your birth chart.
Why? Because with the Sun in Virgo, you may find any Virgo energy in your birth chart amplified in its season.
That’s right: Virgo energy, like all the other zodiac signs, lives within us all. And now it’s time to find out what exactly it means for you!
The Virgo Zodiac Sign
By now, you may have heard quite the reputation surrounding Virgo’s perfectionism — from nitpicky tendencies to an insatiable desire to get the job done “right,” there’s certainly something to be said about Virgo’s stickler behavior.
But where does it really come from?
Both Earthy and Mutable, Virgo has the best of both worlds: it’s grounded and practical, but it’s also flexible and adaptable. This means Virgos have a knack for wanting tangible success and progress in everything they put their mind to, but they’re also very capable of noticing when things go awry — even the small stuff.
Ruled by Mercury – the planet of communication and the mind – Virgo also isn’t afraid of speaking their mind.
So, yes, Virgo may harbor a reputation for being a perfectionist at times, but they’re often the pair of eyes you’ll want on your major project or goal if you want something done right.
The Impact Of Virgo Season
Virgo season’s impact lasts for a whole month.
This means we’ll see Virgo’s tendencies of attention to detail, self-efficiency, and practicality amplified for us all. It’s a great time to get things done and see through any lingering projects or work that we’ve been putting off.
What’s more, Virgo will be lit up in our charts wherever it lands.
Never found yourself relate to Virgo before? You can best see how Virgo season will affect you by noting where Virgo is in your natal chart.

First, check to see where Virgo lands in the planets of your birth chart. These can have a major impact on the core pieces of your personality and who you are as a person!
Sun, Moon & Rising in Virgo
Any of these placements can lead to an extremely prominent Virgo energy within you.
The Sun, representing the ego and a core piece of the self, would reflect Virgo energy in a variety of ways, but especially in what you wish to put forth into the world. The Moon, governing emotion and your inner world, allows you to connect with Virgo in the emotional space.
And finally, with a Virgo Rising, the traits are projected outwards, making it a noticeable part of who you are to others around you.
Mercury in Virgo
If you have a Virgo Mercury, you are truly blessed with the gift of gab! This placement is known as holding an essential dignity, as Mercury rules over Virgo.
You are a skilled communicator with a knack for teaching and articulating your ideas clearly. Your logical, practical mind and down-to-earth understanding of what goes on around you make you a valuable asset to any team.
Venus in Virgo
Venus in Virgo highlights the typical qualities of Virgo but in love and relationships.
Venus is known to be in fall in Virgo, which essentially means that it’s a bit of an uncomfortable placement for Virgo to inhabit. Although a Virgo Venus has a strong desire to help and care for their loved ones, you can also be a perfectionist in relationships with impossible standards or have the desire to “fix” other people’s flaws.
On the flip side, you can be a doting and extremely supportive partner, genuinely wanting the best for those that you care about.

Additionally, you may be known to “wear many hats” and always have multiple projects open for business, holding a need to keep busy at all times.
Jupiter in Virgo
As the planet of expansion, luck, and opportunity, you’d want to understand Jupiter in Virgo so that you can really take advantage of its qualities.
However, Virgo is in detriment in Jupiter, as Jupiter wishes to expand, and Virgo wishes to hone in on the details. In order to make the most of this placement, you’ll have to learn to find balance.
Otherwise, you may find positive luck and opportunities for growth in areas where you can communicate, teach, or assist others (especially when it comes to health and body).
Saturn in Virgo
As the planet of restrictions and karma, Saturn can seem like a bit of a party pooper, seemingly being restrictive wherever it lands.
Virgo is already a pretty exacting sign and can care deeply about the outcome of their actions as is. So you can imagine that with Saturn in Virgo, you may find its tendencies heightened, especially when it comes to sweating the small stuff.
Ultimately, Saturn in Virgo teaches you about opening up to a more well-rounded approach so that you can appreciate all facets of life.

Chiron in Virgo
Chiron shows us where we hold some of the deepest wounds.
