The Season of the Perfectionist (Virgo Season)

The Sun enters the sign of the analyst, mentor, and perfectionist Ruled by Mercury, which symbolizes our cognition, this is a time to refine and polish our skills and put them into practice.

Virgo is associated with the sixth house (house of service, skills, daily routines) and is mutable sign which means that self-growth, the hunger to improve, and becoming competent at something is what drives the sign of the purist.

Virgo’s evolutionary goal is to self-transform and aim for perfection (their highest potential). Developing a set of skills which one can be of service through is Virgo’s pathway for achieving this. However, the focus isn’t solely to serve but the expression of self through service. Finding meaningful work that matters and makes a positive impact in the lives of others is essential for the sign of the mentor.

Virgo (season) is here to teach us that self-transformation is realized through daily effort, focus, and self-discipline. Brining our visions to life requires this as well as accurate self-assessment. To reach our true potential, we must first allow ourselves to be beginners, find the right mentors, diligently practice our craft, and remember to exercise self-compassion along the way. This is the wisdom that Virgo imparts on us.
