Your Sign's Going To Get So Much Done This Week, With #VirgoSZN In Full Swing

Leo season may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean that things are slowing down anytime soon. As the sun shifts into Virgo this week, the confident, assertive energy you’ve been experiencing will shift toward a collective urge to be productive, logical, and communicative. As the acts of service sign of the zodiac, Virgo is all about the nitty-gritty details, so you’re bound to feel the need to roll up your sleeves and tackle everything on your to-do list. As summer (sadly) comes to a close, the grounded energy of Virgo season will encourage every zodiac sign to be productive after a *very* chaotic, energetic Leo season. With a new moon in Virgo also taking place at the end of the week, your August 22, 2022 weekly horoscope is all about centering rationality, order, and efficiency in your lives, without becoming too overwhelmed by your obligations. With Mercury shifting out of Virgo and into Libra, however, your mind may be more concerned with your social life than productivity. Either way, you’ll be getting plenty done.

To start things off, the sun will shift into Virgo on Aug. 22, bringing attention and acknowledgement to the detail-oriented, practical house in every zodiac sign’s birth chart. This is where you’ll be called to make some improvements for the next month in a way that centers logic and practicality. As a mutable earth sign, Virgo is looking to continuously make things better. While this energy can be incredibly helpful, the overwhelming amount of details can make it difficult to finish every task you begin. A good rule of thumb during Virgo season is to remember that if it isn’t broken, it may not need to be fixed, and not to worry or stress over things that are insignificant in the long run. Since Virgo is a sign ruled by Mercury, logical thinking and communication will be your best friend during this season, making this the perfect time to learn a new skill, write, or share important information with others.

On Aug. 25, Mercury, the planet of the mind, will shift out of its exaltation in Virgo and into the creative, Venus-ruled sign of Libra. Here, Mercury is far more interested in forming connections through shared ideas and opinions, instead of logically discerning between right and wrong. Mercury excels at mediation in Libra, and centers justice and equality, but can easily be swayed, since this is a cardinal air sign. This will add a slightly indecisive element to making decisions now, and since Virgo season is upon us, this energy could be challenging to work with. Overall, it’ll be important to prioritize your own thoughts, beliefs, and opinions now, regardless of who may or may not agree with them.

As the week comes to a close, the new moon in Virgo will take place on Aug. 27 at 4 degrees, squaring Mars in Gemini at 3 degrees. This new moon aims to usher in the desire to be efficient and organized while prioritizing the need for newfound information. Since Gemini and Virgo are both Mercury-ruled signs, this new moon will be strongly influenced by this planet, making this a very communicative period. With so much mutable energy present, things are bound to feel a little unorganized and scattered, so it’ll be important to try and focus on one thing on your to-do list at a time. With a strong urge to be of service now, be sure not to overwhelm yourself with too many tasks, especially ones that are ultimately may be a waste of time. You don’t want to spend three hours organizing your sock drawer when there are more pressing matters that are demanding your attention, so be sure to choose your tasks wisely on this day.
