Virgo season starts August 23, time for the Mercury-ruled virgins of the zodiac to party and revel in their natural cosmic element (and enjoy their birthday).
It’s also time for the rest of us to enjoy the positive Virgo vibes this season amplifies – organisation, practicality, shrewdness, cleverness, being on top of your life admin and finances.
Virgos know best, they just get how things can run and operate at their best and have the smarts to make that happen. Get a dose of their pragmatic energy and take steps to get your own life in order (better yet, find a Virgo and get their advice and help!).
Let the tarot give you a nudge as to where you can get your life running more smoothly this Virgo season.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Invest in yourself (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aries for Virgo season: Page of Coins
Meaning: You need training, information or a new skill, or at least to be brushing up on something. The Page of Coins is the tarot’s student and always points towards education and learning. Perhaps this is related to your career or your life admin, perhaps a new technology or process, perhaps a system or method of approach that, once learnt, will make things run smoother and slicker.
Invest upfront to reap rewards down the line. Learn something new and put it to good use.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Your circle can provide unique insight (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Taurus for Virgo season: Three of Coins
Meaning: Listen to good advice. In fact, why not ask for some. The Three of Coins shows up when people with influence or good ideas have got something for us and can help us improve or do better.
You’ve got smart friends and colleagues, why not tap into their expertise and prowess? Why not use, in a good way, the great people you’ve got access to? We can all learn from each other. We can all plug the gaps in each other’s knowledge or experience. Go seek it.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Put in the effort with your loved ones and it’ll pay off (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Gemini for Virgo season: Ten of Cups
Meaning: You can be a little haphazard in your relationships – not speaking or meeting for months and then having an overdose on someone. Even things out a little, Gemini. Put in a mini system for the people you need (and want) to keep in cahoots with.
The Ten of Cups shows this is only for a select few, don’t worry. I’m talking a bi-weekly Date Night with the other half, Sunday night phone calls with parents, monthly lunches with friends, a seasonal shindig with a bigger group or old colleagues. Make a system, make it easy, keep in touch.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
You’ve got the foundation – build on that (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Cancer for Virgo season: Four of Wands
Meaning: You would do well to make yourself a career plan for the future right now, whether it’s about moving towards promotion, retirement, fewer hours, more money, a different field, a new location, or just staying afloat as you are.
Make a conscious plan for success with the strategic Four of Wands. Build on your successes, amplify them. Whatever you’re aiming for, it’s always good to play to your strengths. Build your plan based on what you love doing, are good at, and find easy/natural… and you can’t go wrong.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Leo, tap into your innate skills (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Leo for Virgo season: Seven of Wands
Meaning: You are playing or competing in a game of some kind (be it in work, family, relationships or an actual formal game) and you need a better plan of attack, Leo. You are a natural leader and winner and, maybe, you’re taking your success for granted, coasting, resting on your laurels.
The Seven of Wands asks you to get organised, know your powers, play to your strengths and negate theirs. Understand the rules, know the short cuts, appreciate the energy and time required to get the results. And then get on and win this thing.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
It’s your season! (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Virgo for Virgo season: Nine of Cups
Meaning: You are in your season and you can be unashamedly and wholeheartedly your best self and show off everything you’re good at! Don’t hold back or bite your lip. The Nine of Cups is a dream come true, a wish pass, so you will get to succeed in whatever you put your heart into this Virgo season.
Get everything ship-shape, lined up, and organised beautifully. Tackle things which bother you. Ask for help and get more than you could’ve hoped for. Apply for the promotion or next level and it will be granted. Go for it, Virgo. Play to your strengths.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Sometimes, you need to reevaluate what’s no longer working (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Libra for Virgo season: Eight of Cups
Meaning: There are tasks and commitments which eat up your time but don’t really reward you or pay back what you hoped they would. Libra, be a little ruthless this Virgo season and ditch the dead weight and dead wood.
You’ve persisted with it all for long enough and things aren’t going to change. Accept it for what it is… and release it. You can do more and better with your energies than pouring them down the drain. Why give more when what you’ve already given hasn’t worked?

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Take the initiative (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Scorpio for Virgo season: The Empress
Meaning: Focus on your family or loved ones schedule and routines, the ways in which you really get together, have fun, bond, talk, play or just be in each other’s company in a good way. Perhaps it’s time for a reunion, party, lunch out, or even a trip or holiday.
These things take some organising and you’re perhaps best placed to take the responsibility on. You will enjoy it! The Empress shows you can put a little focus into your relationships and make some magical memories. It won’t happen by itself.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Planning can be part of the fun (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Sagittarius for Virgo season: The Sun
Meaning: If you want the dream holiday/trip/adventure/year of outings and travel, then you need to do the homework and research and planning first. The Sun shows you’re imagining a wonderful time away, a series of trips or a major event which represents a dream come true.
It will be a game changer. But it takes hard work and focus. There’s a lot to look into and sort out and save for… and actually it’s all part of the process, part of the anticipation and fun. Start your planning now and make it enjoyable. Watch videos, follow vloggers, get brochures, make lists.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Get your ducks in a row, Cap (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Capricorn for Virgo season: Six of Swords
Meaning: You are ready to depart something/one/place and it’s simply a case of stuff having run its course and come to a natural conclusion, so this isn’t a heart breaker or a difficult decision.
Now is the time to get organised about this move because there is stuff to think about and arrange. Use Virgo season to make it an easy, cathartic, even enjoyable change of course. The Six of Swords shows this has been in the offing for a while but now is the right moment to make that leap. Make it a seamless transition.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
We can all be our own worst enemy sometimes (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aquarius for Virgo season: Eight of Swords
Meaning: You’ve got one bad habit that is the fly in your ointment when it comes to life admin, finances or organising yourself. And you know what it is! The Eight of Swords reveals you can get in your own way, and when you identify this, acknowledge it, and replace the action or thinking with a better version then you will be free of this self-limiting habit.
It’s time to ditch it and move on. It’s time to liberate yourself from the pattern that always gets you in a mess, or at least frustrated with yourself for doing it again.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Get streamlining your life (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Pisces for Virgo season: Judgment
Meaning: Now would be a great season to check in with some experts, well-placed friends, or do some homework regarding ways and means of managing your life admin, finances and paperwork.
Judgment shows you will always create your own unique systems but that they can be well informed and leaning on the latest ideas, technology, opportunities, and advice. So be well informed. Do some research. Ask questions. Get input to what processes and systems you’re using. There’s always room for improvement!
