AUGUST 29th
We’ve been relishing in Virgo Season for a week, and the productivity is really starting to kick in. With September just around the corner, our motivation to continue these habits is set to soar.
On August 27th we saw the New Moon entering Virgo. The New Moon's conjunction with the Sun squares up with the planet of motivation – Mars – in Gemini. Although already at our peak efficiency, this alignment allows us to express new ideas in their greatest form. Furthermore, Gemini allows for both curiosity and creativity. So if you’re considering doing something you’d usually shy away from, now is the time to take your chance.
As we enter our last week of body image here at Mindless, this week’s horoscope is set to forecast inward thinking, self-love and how to manifest your goals. Loving yourself can be a long and treacherous journey, but carving out the time to care for yourself and speak kindly, will guide you tremendously.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your Virgo season has got off to a great start Aries. You know what you want, and you aren’t afraid to go for it. Your desire for success lends itself this season as you face new trends of bravery that you may have not met with before. This powerful emotion openly aids your willingness to achieve this season Aries.
Materialistic attainments aside, how have you successfully loved yourself recently? It is often easy to get caught up in the competitions of life but allowing yourself to reach personal goals and overcome low self-esteem will do you wonders Aries. When did you last check your well-being and happiness? How can you make that one of your habits moving forward?
JOURNAL PROMPT: How can you celebrate yourself?
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You’re practical and grounded so setting realistic goals is no problem for you Taurus. You carefully choose what to focus on, set up how to achieve it, and ensure that all errors are accounted for. However, perfection is not always possible, which you struggle to understand. Whilst you enjoy waiting for the perfect result, you may find that this does more damage than good.
You are a dreamer and a realistic achiever but you cannot assume everything will fall into place. If you don’t work towards something then your chances of reaching it will only fail. Take time to assess where things may not be working for you. You may find that it lies in the lack of sharing your dreams.
JOURNAL PROMPT: Reflect on how you share your feelings.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Whilst we may be in Virgo season, Mars has just entered Gemini meaning that motivation is strongly guiding you this week Gemini. Take this increased stimulation and ensure your efforts are being used towards it. As an air sign, you’re intellectual and curious so now is the perfect time to turn these dreams into reality.
However, as you are erratic in nature, it is worth remembering the importance of balance. You benefit from multiple stimulations but there is no sense in overwhelming yourself. When did you last reflect on your image? Have you taken the same time and consideration towards your body that you have to new habits?
JOURNAL PROMPT: What do you struggle to love about yourself? What can you do to begin to love it?
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Ah, intuitive cancer. Your goals are achievable, and you have just the right intentions. Virgo season may be off to a slow start but having the plans set is good enough. You may be worried that others will doubt you, and how that could affect you. But your intuition was strong enough to guide you in the first place so don’t let others' interpretations affect you.
Just as important as your intuition, is your emotional availability. You’re a water sign so you’re well versed in both emotional and material realms. Remember that your instincts are heavily motivated by your feelings so control of those must come first. How have you been taking control recently? How can you begin to take consistent control of where you are?

Leo (July 23 – August 21)
Your passion to succeed just never stops. As you slowly start to get over the fact that it’s no longer your moment in the spotlight, you begin to realise that there is more to life than being number one. Those Virgo season goals are set to come into full swing this week as you overcome silly personal squabbles.
Following your intense birthday season and rushing straight into the go-go-go of the Virgos, you may be conscious of the fact that you have not allotted enough self-care. Alongside your new habits and goals, be sure to set some time aside for self-love and positive affirmations. Remember that manifestations can work wonders when you’re unsure where to start.
JOURNAL PROMPT: What do you appreciate most about your body? What do you find harder to accept?
Virgo (August 22 – September 22)
How are we doing Virgo? Succeeding? We thought so. It’s your birthday season and boy does everyone know. Not only are you excelling on the personal front but your natural glow has everyone talking. You’re on-trend and everyone wants to know your secret to success.
Your perfectionist nature may have its benefits, but it can also cause great upset. The last thing a Virgo wants is their own trait ruining their time to shine. It is okay to not be perfect and that is something you must carry with you this coming week! Grant yourself permission to feel lower moods. Where there is rain, there is a rainbow.
JOURNAL PROMPT: What is your first memory of disliking your body? How did you feel at the time compared to now?
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
You’re just in the perfect mood at the moment Libra. It may be because you’re so close to your season to shine but maybe it’s the harmony that is speaking to you. There is nothing more harmonious than setting goals and better yet reaching them. You feel balanced and hopeful that these habits you are setting now will be successful.
As an air sign, you’re equally curious. Whilst justice is something you strive for, your curiosity can often lead to darker thoughts. It can often be hard to remain impartial when society is so driven by social media. This is where your curiosity isn’t your friend. Many a conversation has occurred on social media's impact on body image but how have you let this affect you?
JOURNAL PROMPT: How has social media impacted your view of yourself?
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Virgo season and this conjunction with the New Moon has come at an ideal time for you Scorpio. You are ruled by Mars, the planet of motivation, so when better to utilise this new-found productivity? Manifestation becomes actualisation for you this week Scorpio. This is the ideal time to let all your ideas out into the open – you never know what may come of them.
Unlike the rest of the zodiac, you are having quite a reflective week. You’re relishing in new habits and your willingness to engage in new realms is admirable. Now is the perfect time to celebrate yourself. You know that your season will reach us soon so take this time to reflect positively on how far you have come in this almost complete trip around the sun.
JOURNAL PROMPT: Think of a time when you felt really proud of your body, what happened, how did you feel?
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Ah, wise, knowledgeable, and spiritual Sagittarius. How have you engaged in Virgo season? Your all-knowing abilities often leave you stuck for ideas, but I sense a boost of motivation from Mars this week. Looking back on things/places/people you’ve wanted to meet, where have you maybe shied away? And how can you change this?
You’re extremely spiritual so you have an innate understanding of the past, present, and future. More often than not you forget to take stock of this but now would be the ideal time to make comparisons. You may find that you have made achievements in many places but somehow let them go unnoticed. Take this time for solitude.
JOURNAL PROMPT: Make a body timeline of everything you’ve been through – look at what you’ve accomplished.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
A fellow Earth sign, Virgo season is off to a good start for you Capricorn. Your patience and perseverance set you apart because you understand the importance of personal growth. You have this inherent knowledge that growth is a process, and one that takes time, so you don’t feel the pressures that the other zodiacs feel. Your dedication to succeed will take you places.
Due to your admirable understanding that growth cannot be rushed, you often hold onto foundational knowledge. This is where your traits let you down. You may find yourself trusting old methods, thus shying away from new ones. This is hard for you and may be uncomfortable to come to terms with but this change is worth it with enough time and energy.
JOURNAL PROMPT: What is keeping you from loving and appreciating your body?
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Good old innovative Aquarius. Virgo season is sort of a perfect time for you. Not only are you setting new goals and planning new attainable habits, but your original thinking sets you apart. You may have had ideas in the works for a while but your novel way to success is really going to kick in this season.
However, unconventional thinking may not always be in your favour. It’s easy to think that shortcuts are the best form of action, but this can easily go too far. There is no benefit to timesaving approaches when it comes to self-love. It is more than likely that you’ll miss out on the most important aspects of it if this is the case.
JOURNAL PROMPT: When have you not loved yourself in the past? Why was that?
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You’re usually more aligned with your psychic tendencies Pisces but this Virgo season is forecast to bring out your more proactive side. Allow your psyche to picture exactly what it is that you want and use this new-found motivation to action it. There is no harm in going against the status quo and now is the perfect time to do it.
Your empathy could really come in handy this week Pisces. Be more open to having positive conversations with friends about body image. Things may get sensitive, and you may find it emotional but how can you take that emotion and use it for good? You need to learn how to handle emotions and positive emotions are the best place to start.
JOURNAL PROMPT: What is one thing about your journey towards self-love that’s been easier than expected?
