Virgo Season 2025: The Rare Virgo Portal
The Sun has slipped from Leo’s roaring fire into Virgo’s steady earth. Where Leo dazzled with spectacle, Virgo teaches us to bow to the sacredness of the small — the ritual inside routine, the holiness within humble acts of service. Yet this year, Virgo Season is no ordinary turning of the wheel.
In 2025, Virgo opens a rare portal of purification and destiny. Two consecutive new moons in the same sign — the first at 0° Virgo, the second at 29° — frame this season as a passageway, a beginning and an ending, a karmic sweep of what must be released and what must be planted. Between them lie eclipses, retrograde shadows, and alignments that test, cleanse, and liberate.
This is not only about tidy routines or careful planning. It is a threshold where fate and freedom meet.
🌑 Aug 23 — The First Virgo New Moon (0°)
Just after midnight in New York, Virgo Season begins with the purest energy of the sign: a new moon at 0°, infused with the South Node of Destiny. This moon does not ask for new desires, but for release — letting go of lessons already learned, attachments that have outlived their purpose, patterns that weigh down the spirit.
Yet Virgo’s quiet purification is struck by Uranus in trine. Expect sudden insights, unexpected opportunities, new possibilities where once there seemed none. What opens here is fated, and it may arrive in a form you never imagined.
✨ Walk with: Elegua and Papa Legba (crossroads, fated paths), Babalu Aye (healing and release), Osanyin (ritual medicine, purification), Obatala (clarity and higher wisdom).
☿ Aug 23–25 — Mercury Retrograde Shadow Season
Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, ended its retrograde on August 11, but the shadow lingers until August 25. Virgo season therefore opens under echoing lessons: tangled words, delayed clarity, familiar crossroads. Pay attention to what repeats — it is Spirit showing you where the lesson still needs to sink deeper.
✨ Walk with: Elegua and Papa Legba, keeping roads and speech clear.
💕 Aug 25 — Venus Enters Leo
As Mercury’s shadow lifts, Venus steps boldly into Leo. Where Virgo is modest and service-driven, Venus in Leo brings warmth, visibility, and passion. This is love that wants to be seen, devotion that wants to be celebrated.
Venus weaves a tapestry of aspects:
- Trine Saturn → maturity, stability in love
- Sextile Uranus → fresh excitement, emotional innovation
- Trine Neptune → compassion and dreamlike beauty
- Opposition Pluto → transformative encounters, power struggles in relationship
✨ Walk with: Erzulie Freda and Erzulie Dantor, embodying both softness and strength in matters of love and devotion.
🌌 Aug 28 — Uranus Sextile Neptune
A gentle but potent current flows as Uranus harmonizes with Neptune, blending future vision with spiritual mysticism. Virgo’s earth can catch these flashes of dream and make them tangible, shaping visions into ritual and insight into practice.
✨ Walk with: Oya (winds of change, sudden illumination), Metresili (dreams, visions, elevated beauty).
🌕 Sept 7 — Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
Where Virgo heals through detail, Pisces heals through surrender. This lunar eclipse floods Virgo’s discipline with compassion and intuition. Emotions rise, dreams intensify, and unconscious patterns surface for release. What Virgo builds, Pisces softens, reminding us that the heart’s wisdom must guide the mind’s order.
✨ Walk with: Olokun (depths, mystery, hidden wisdom), Agwe (navigation across shifting tides).
🌑 Sept 21 — The Second Virgo New Moon (29°) — Solar Eclipse
The Virgo Portal closes with a solar eclipse at the final degree of the sign. If the first new moon opened the door, this one seals it shut. Here endings and beginnings meet: karmic cycles resolve, new habits anchor, service becomes devotion. This is the completion of a threshold and the birth of a new rhythm.
✨ Walk with: Babalu Aye (endings and healings), Obatala (clarity and completion), Ori (destiny and alignment).
⚖️ Sept 22 — The Sun Enters Libra
Virgo season concludes as the Sun moves into Libra, shifting our focus from inner purification to outer harmony. Where Virgo cleared the vessel, Libra now asks: how do you share yourself with others? How do you weave balance, beauty, and justice into your relationships and the world around you?
🪐 Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (All Season)
All the while, Saturn moves backward through Pisces, testing our discipline, faith, and spiritual structure. Virgo season offers the tools of daily practice, but Saturn ensures they are aligned with higher truth. Heavy though it may feel, it is a karmic refinement, shaping devotion into wisdom.
✨ Walk with: Obatala (patience and clarity), Baron (karmic reckoning, responsibility).
🌿 Closing Reflection
Virgo season is not about perfection. It never has been. This year especially, it is about alignment. Two new moons in Virgo — one opening, one closing — create a sacred corridor of destiny. Between them, eclipses and retrogrades unravel and rewrite our paths.
The work of this season is both simple and profound:
To tend your life with intention.
To honor the sacred in the smallest acts.
To let go of what no longer serves.
To step through the Virgo Portal lighter, clearer, and more devoted to the truth of your own path.
