Virgo 2024
Happy Birthday Virgos!
Virgos are known for their service to others, oddball humor, analytical minds, and perfection in details--they're often great with expert repair like wiring, plumbing, or surgical procedures. If you have a Virgo sun, moon, or ascendant, you probably follow the rules or instructions first before experimenting with your own ways in creative, academic, and competitive endeavors.
VIRGO SUN: Your life purpose is to work on things that have meaningful and tangible value for yourself and the world. In other words, you're not here to waste time on frivolous "busy work" that doesn't make your life or the lives of your loved ones better and brighter. You're likely to buy a house or car that is well below your means, both to save yourself from the burden of debt, but also to give yourself an improvement project. Take care not to let work take over your entire existence, and to treat yourself to active recovery from work--vacations, fun, and inspirational experiences. You'll be happier collecting memories rather than things, but don't be so stingy with yourself to the point that you avoid your fixer-upper home by working too many hours. You're allowed to live comfortably and with the tendency to work too hard, you deserve a cozy home.
VIRGO MOON: Your calm, methodical emotional state makes you the friend or coworker that others can count on in life, especially in an emergency situation. You handle challenges by staying rational and offering creative-yet-practical solutions. On a personal level, and especially regarding your home environment, you have a plan A and a backup plan B, but also a plan C and a plan D. You’d rather be prepared for any scenario rather than be inconvenienced or caught off guard. You feel most content when you feel like you’re helping or being useful. Take care not to let a minor flaw or slight change in plans upset you or make you overly critical of others or yourself. Especially yourself.
VIRGO RISING: You’re the quiet observer in a social setting, perhaps even going unnoticed, but that’s because you’re taking inventory of the situation and the people in it. You’re often lost in your own thoughts, probably working out a puzzle or small challenge. You’re most likely to be backstage, running the lights or building the sets and making sure the show goes on without a hitch. Try to be okay with imperfection, both with yourself and in situations in which you can’t control everything—especially at work. You are driven to be the best at what you do, always improving your skillset and putting in extra time to get things right. People may get the wrong first impression of you as aloof or even cold, but once they get to know you they discover how helpful and kind you are in sharing your advice and expertise when they need it. The more you can let go of perfectionism, the better your relationship with yourself and with others will be.

Virgo season message and suggested spells: When the sun is in Virgo, our energy may pivot to the small details that may have been overlooked recently. Tidying up and organizing can helps us to clear our thoughts and focus on what may need improvement. Your magic is practical as you learn to perfect your skills and organize your surroundings without stressing yourself out. It's a good time for healing spells, automatic writing, manifesting abundance, career or educational spells, and an especially potent time for practical magick such as herbalism, kitchen spell work, and green witchery.
Do what lights you up,
