Power down, Virgo, or spend a little time off the grid. The Sun is in Leo and your restful twelfth house until August 23, your annual time to escape and rejuvenate. Your imagination is at an all-time high now, which could bring richly creative moments and powerful healing. Keep as much white space in your calendar as possible so you can follow the muse, do some deep inner work or just slip off for a siesta.

Or…how about an impromptu vacation? On August 1, a dynamic trio of go-getter Mars, spontaneous Uranus and the karmic north node makes an ultra-rare convergence in Taurus and your ninth house of travel, entrepreneurship and personal growth. This could be one of those #mindblown moments when you suddenly rocket to a much bigger level or start playing a whole new game.

Once Virgo season begins on August 22, you’re ready to dive into these lofty visions with renewed excitement and energy. A perfect day to start in earnest is the August 27 Virgo new moon—the only one in 2022. This lunar lift acts as your “personal new year,” a time to put your most cherished desires front and center.

Right before this Virgo season pick-me-up, a huge career-catalyzing cycle begins for you. On August 20, action planet Mars starts an extended seven-month blaze through Gemini and your tenth house of success, heating up your grandest goals until March 25, 2023. Talk about a professional power surge! This cycle is five times the usual length of Mars’ visit to a sign, giving you a super-rare opportunity to rise into a leadership role, boost your status and do meaningful work that gets recognized by some heavy hitters.
