The sun is sliding out of the limelight lion’s den of Leo and into the pull your weight and pull no punches fields of Virgo, and our relationships are primed to become an exercise in separating the wheat from the chaff.
Virgo season reigns from August 22 to September 22nd.
While Leo season had us looking for a co-star, Virgo brings a bigger picture of compatibility into focus, shifting us from romance to realism, performance to practicality.
Now is the hour when couples who’ve been coasting on chemistry are suddenly confronted with the nit and grit — be it a beard hair in the sink or an uncomfortable discord about political issues.
“The Sun’s entry into Virgo invites a more grounded perspective on relationships. It’s a period for assessing the underlying structure of your connection — how you communicate, coordinate, and support each other in daily life.
This is the kind of practical alignment that determines whether a relationship can sustain itself beyond the initial excitement,” Angelika Koch, astrologer and relationshp expert at Taimi told The Post.
According to Koch, the momentum of Virgo season ain’t about killing the vibe — but deciding if you can handle the reality that lives when the fantasy fades.
“This isn’t about romance disappearing — it’s about seeing if the fantasy can hold up under real-life conditions. Can you merge calendars without chaos? Can you have an honest talk about money without tension? Those are very Virgo-season questions.”
Virgo is the sign of divine discernment and in kind, now more than ever we are able to see the cracks in our bonds.
“It’s easier to see things clearly during Virgo season, since this is a Mercury-ruled earth sign all about solving problems from a logical standpoint. Because of this, romantic relationships often fall under a harsher scrutiny,” explained Koch.
She shared that when Virgo rules the skies, conflict can present, often as a result of people trying to “fix” what’s not working in a romantic dynamic or hyper focusing on the failings of a partner, alienating and aggrevating them in the process.
If these issues are approached with enthusiasm for solution rather than exasperation with the issue, Koch assures the results can be downright rosy.
“If you can navigate the small stuff, like who takes out the trash or how you plan your weekends, you’re actually preparing your relationship for the long haul. It’s the little habits, not just the grand gestures, that determine how sustainable your love really is,” she said.
The good news? Virgo was born with a can do, let’s fix it energy — meaning as long as both parties are willing to be honest and accountable, there’s no limit to how much growth can transpire or how good it can get.
Good luck out there, kids.
