Your Weekly Horoscope Wants You To Embrace The Power Of Virgo Season, Because It’s All About Self-Care

Prepare for an energetic shift, because your horoscope for the week of August 22 to 28 begins on the same day the sun enters Virgo. This clever and analytical earth sign is all about purity, cleanliness and rejuvenation (which is why it’s no wonder Virgo is also symbolically tied to the “virgin”). Embrace what Virgo season has to offer, because it will help you get organized and intentional about your goals.

Believe it or not, Virgo isn’t the only sign making an entrance this week. After all, on August 25, Mercury—planet of communication—will also enter talkative, flirty and diplomatic Libra. This cardinal air sign is all about establishing rapport and building up your relationships, knowing that harmony is the name of the game. Allow Mercury in Libra to not only enhance your social life and your love life, but it will also give you the tools to solve problems rather than cause them.

You’re not always in control of your emotions, but you do have a say in how you act on them.

As a new moon in Virgo rises on August 27 at 4:16 a.m. ET, it will inspire you to set a new intention and allow it to guide you forward.
