Leo season is fun until it’s not. It’s time for the party to end and cooler minds and temperatures to prevail and kill off chaotic thoughts, energy and, most critically, mosquitoes. Virgo season, we welcome you and your bullet-journal energy!

Reader, be warned: Mercury will go retrograde in the sign of Virgo on Wednesday, the start of Virgo season. So if things are off on the first day, don’t abandon your new organizing tool just yet. And remember you survived worse. As always, we offer our very limited astrological knowledge so you can optimize the season, this month in true Virgo fashion. So proceed, oh studious reader!

VIRGO (August 22—September 21): You’ve survived summer storms (both literal and figurative) by channeling your inner Beyoncé, the ultimate Virgo. Now, bet you you’ll see stars.

LIBRA (September 22—October 21): You decide to go to a public meeting on housing because you think your diplomatic, tactful way of being will shine through and change minds. Whether you do remains to be seen.

SCORPIO (October 22—November 21): You will be misunderstood yet again. But instead of wallowing like you normally do, you decide to celebrate those failures by putting them on display.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22—December 21): You are not afraid to use your bow and arrow to traverse new terrain. You will do it again, bringing a taste of home with you — maybe Old Bay seasoning?

CAPRICORN (December 22—January 21): You pick up playing music after work with colleagues. But alas! Things go awry when you disagree on something as basic as the name of your band.

AQUARIUS (January 22—February 21): You will give so much, working late into the night. But don’t worry, you will see that effort take flight.

PISCES (February 22—March 21): You want to show off that creative mind of yours, but there are just so many distractions. Just pull yourself together, man!

ARIES (March 22—April 21): You came into productivity month wanting to win. But someone will make you slow down and take a nature walk or enjoy a glass of wine during your off hours.

TAURUS (April 22—May 21): Ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, you’ll of course try the umptieth dating app.

GEMINI (May 22—June 21): Two-faced? Never! But you will be forced to be more be transparent. Commiserate at a restaurant where you’ll find a sympathetic ear.

CANCER (June 22—July 21): You know how to protect yourself. But someone will come in and help you this time.

LEO (July 22—August 21): You’re not ready to call it on summer just yet. Enjoy one last fried oreo and carnival ride.
