Welcome Virgo Season!
From August 23rd to September 22nd, the sun shines in Virgo. The cusp between Summer’s end and Autumn’s beginning is when we soak up the sun before it starts to set a little earlier. Lazy, long days morph effortlessly into hours that are a little more focused on new beginnings. This is the part of the year when school, of all kinds, starts again. Virgo, an earth sign, is historically represented through the goddess of agriculture. This is a great time, then, to consider what is yours to harvest. What seeds did you plant this summer that have grown?
A good moment to evaluate will be the Full Moon in Pisces on August 30th. At this time Here, you’ll find some emotional ripening. Start fresh with the New Moon in Virgo on September 15th. In between, from August 23rd – September 15, Mercury stations retrograde. Don’t panic, but stay patient. If human error occurs, know that it was written in the stars, and let it go.
Food vibes for this season: feast on the last of the season’s bounty. Make a pie or crumble with your favorite berries. Eat the last of the stone fruit, savoring the taste of sunset. Make everything leftover into jams, chutneys, compotes, memories. Do what you can to preserve the sweetness of the summer, and enjoy!
This Scorpio season your ability to change is getting pushed to the limit. The planet of daring and action, Mars, is back in his home sign of Scorpio and he’s feeling spicy. Mars is the planetary ruler of the sign Scorpio; this stationing is like a warrior returning home to a well-stocked armory. There’s a delicate balance between pushing the limits and pushing boundaries. With a lunar eclipse—a force of dramatic, yet gradual change that you can look back on as turning points—capping things off at the end of the season, it’s all about knowing when to step into your power and when to step back out of it. The sun’s journey through the more-pressurized-than-usual depths of Scorpio this season sets the stage for re-evaluating your relationships this winter.
Welcome, Leo Season!
The lion’s season begins on July 22nd and blazes through August 23rd. This time is a flaming burst of socializing and celebrating: long, hot days, refreshing cool nights, and thorough rest.
This month will have us focusing a bit more on logistics, which might feel like a soothing balm to the hot chaos of summertime. On July 28th, Mercury enters Virgo, creating forward-thinking communication for the season ahead. August 1st brings a full moon in Aquarius, a wonderful time to dream. A new moon in Leo on August 16th presents us with a fresh, vibrant start. This is the perfect moment to set intentions and de-clutter, particularly before Mercury enters retrograde at the end of August.
Food vibes this season: mindful celebration. Plan meals together and partake in communal connection outside. Hydrate in creative ways: spritzes, teas, smoothies. Remember that our tastebuds are one of our strongest connections to memory, so savor each gathering, knowing that in doing so, you’re preserving the summer.

January 20 - February 18
You may have gotten a little harried at some point in the bursts of the summer. Now is the moment to spend some time introspecting and cooling off. Don’t worry about the frenzy you might feel around you. Tap into dusk and sunset, when the light will be less intense but just as beautiful.
Something’s shifted for you, Aquarius, and it’s exciting. When you take a look at your life’s landscape, what is the new ecosystem that has developed? What is getting stirred up, activating a sense of adventure? Now is the time to let yourself get carried away by something.
February 19 - March 20
