Inspiration for Virgo Season

If you were born between August 24th and September 23rd, congratulations, you’re a Virgo!

Inspiration for Virgo Season

 

Virgo is the mutable earth sign. Folks born under this sign tend to be deeply practical and rooted in the material world.

That connection with the earth and the physical universe means that they tend to have good spatial awareness and are excellent problem solvers.

Virgos are pragmatic and strive to be meticulous in both thought and action. They’re motivated by a desire to be useful, but their attempts to problem solve sometimes feel judgemental. Despite this, Virgos don’t tend to be showboaters. You won’t likely find them bragging about what they’ve done, but make no mistake; they still crave recognition.

Virgos are highly conscientious, something that can lead to perfectionism. Virgos would do well to recognize the beauty in imperfection.

Overall, though, Virgo traits lead these folks to be helpful. They want to be of service, they want to make others happy. If you give them a little recognition for the help they give, they’ll 

 

Colors for Virgo

When you’re looking for colors that will suit your Virgo themed projects, we’re looking at earthy colors like browns and greens.

Spinach powder is a lovely colorant for Virgo projects. It produces a lovely warm, light green shade in soap and other projects. It’s all natural, too. It’s just dried and ground spinach. This gives it a two-fold connection to the earth; through its green color and through its plant-based origin.

We also love brown oxide pigment for Virgos. It gives projects a rich, chocolatey brown color, and is versatile enough to be used in almost all bath and body products. It’s iron oxide, so it shares that connection to the material world.

Virgo fragrances

Fragrances that will help your Virgo friends unwind are going to be fragrances that feel earthy and natural.

Our Backwoods Hike Fragrance Oil will make your Virgo friends feel like they’re in their element. It’s a blend of fresh and spicy notes, with ginger, black pepper, and lavender. Cedarwood and patchouli add earthiness to the mix. It’s a complex scent that evokes the feel of fresh outdoor air.

Rosemary essential oil is also a great smell for Virgos. It’s herbaceous and woody, being a woody evergreen herb. Rosemary is known for its adaptability, so it’s perfect for this mutable earth sign. Virgos will find rosemary to be an invigorating scent. This makes it great to use in products for morning showers, or to clear the busy Virgo mind.

Perfect projects for Virgos

Making wonderful projects for Virgos is easier than you might think. 

We chose this Cedar and Amber Candle Project for Virgo, because it offers a scent that feels natural and earthy, and uses a wooden wick, which creates a lower glow and a soft crackling sound like a tiny campfire. It’s a great way to help the Virgo, who always wants to be of service, slow down and spend some time for themselves.

Our Maple Pecan Solid Scrub Project produces 4 3 ounce bars of solid sugar scrub, perfect for exfoliating. The solid scrub is so convenient, you don’t have to worry about opening or closing a jar of scrub in the shower. This is bound to appeal to the Virgo’s practical nature. You don’t have to give up luxury for that convenience, either. These bars are made with nourishing shea butter and cocoa butter, so they’re a treat for your skin.

Great additives for Virgos

Maybe you already have something in mind for your Virgo season projects, but you need that special little something to add. We picked out some amazing additives for Virgo projects, too.

How could we not choose chrysanthemum flowers for Virgo? Chrysanthemum is a Virgo birth flower. Chrysanthemums have flowers made of hundreds of perfectly placed petals, a complexity that appeals to the perfectionist in each Virgo. These dried flowers make a great topping for cold process soap bars, or a beautiful addition to bath soaks and scrubs.

We also chose deep brown coffee seed oil. This oil is extracted from roasted coffee beans, and has the best true-to-life coffee smell you’ll ever find outside of your morning cup. The color is gorgeous and perfect for Virgo, and this oil is great for your skin, too. Add it to bath bombs, lotions, butters, and balms for a gorgeous coffee smell. It works well in cold process soap, too.
