September arrives with a sense of quiet grounding. After the fiery expression of Leo season, August guided us back into Virgo’s earthiness, reminding us that true vitality often comes from the small, consistent rituals that sustain our nervous system, digestion, and daily flow.
Now, as the month progresses, we begin another shift: Virgo’s discerning eye gradually gives way to Libra’s call for balance, beauty, and connection. This transition encourages us to carry forward Virgo’s devotion to healthful habits while opening ourselves to Libra’s gifts of harmony within the body, in our relationships, and in the environments that surround us.
Virgo-to-Libra Transition: Health Themes This Month
-
Virgo (Until September 22): Virgo rules the intestines, digestion, and the gut–brain connection. This is a potent time for cleansing routines, refining nutrition, and calming the nervous system through order and simplicity. Tune into gut health, refine daily self-care, and slow down mental chatter through gentle practices and nourishing meals.
-
Libra (From September 23): Libra governs the kidneys, lower back, fluid regulation and equilibrium. As the Sun enters this air sign, focus on hydration, posture, graceful movement, and restoring balance where stress or strain has tipped you off-centre.

Wellness Tips
🌾 Reset with Virgo’s Clarity – With the Sun and Mercury in Virgo early in the month, focus on digestion, gut–brain connection, and refining daily routines. Simple habits like meal prepping, mindful eating, and calming your nervous system with warm teas can create lasting stability.
🌕 Eclipse Release – The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (Sept 7) highlights the need for emotional rest and cleansing. Support your body with hydration, gentle movement, and magnesium-rich foods to soothe tension and promote deeper sleep.
💧 Hydrate for Balance – As the Sun moves into Libra (Sept 22), kidney and fluid balance come into focus. Prioritise hydration, herbal infusions (like nettle or hibiscus), and posture awareness to ease lower back tension.
🔥 Move with Purpose – Mars enters Scorpio (Sept 22), amplifying intensity and drive. Direct this energy into structured physical activity like swimming, Pilates, or strength work that channels focus while preventing burnout.
🌸 Embrace New Rhythms – The Solar Eclipse in Virgo (Sept 21) offers a reset button. Begin or refresh a 21-day wellness practice to align with Virgo’s call for renewal like journaling, tracking digestion, or even implementing a gentle detox.

🌿 Virgo Season Support: Bach Flower Remedies
Virgo energy heightens our attention to detail, routines, and health but it can also bring nervous tension, perfectionism, and digestive stress. Bach flower remedies can gently restore balance. In practice, Virgo types (or when transits activate Virgo strongly) may benefit from remedies that quiet the nervous system, soften perfectionism, and ease digestive tension through calming the mind–body loop.
These are the Bach flower remedies most commonly aligned with Virgo to support Virgo’s gifts of discernment and service without tipping into stress or self-judgment:
-
Centaury – For over-giving and difficulty setting boundaries.
-
Crab Apple – For cleansing and releasing over-focus on imperfections.
-
White Chestnut – To quiet repetitive thoughts and mental loops.
-
Elm – For overwhelm from responsibilities.
-
Pine – To ease guilt and self-criticism.
- Cerato – To calm self-doubt and constant second-guessing.
Nurture Inward
September invites us to ground ourselves through Virgo’s discerning energies and harmonise via Libra’s graceful touch. Use this month to refine your inner rituals, support your body’s natural rhythms, and introduce balance in how you move, nourish, and connect.
