To know why the power and lyrics of “Virgo’s Groove” (“Child come over…Come and transfer me via the evening”) got here as a shock to many—particularly given its launch within the classically attractive Leo season—it’s useful to understand how Virgo is usually perceived and why. Ruling over the sixth home of each day rituals and well being, Virgo is undoubtedly detail-oriented. Due to its rulership by intellect-oriented Mercury, it’s additionally an indication of analytical thought and precision. Collectively, these descriptors have impressed some widespread tropes about Virgos—“that they’re shy, demure, and pure,” says astrologer Stefanie Iris Weiss, “all of which will be approach off the mark, as Beyoncé reveals us.”

So, what’s the actual which means of “Virgo’s Groove,” and what does it reveal about Virgos themselves? “The reality is {that a} Virgo solar like Beyoncé’s can reveal a secret, super-sexy vixen inside,” says Weiss. On the one hand, Virgo’s ties to bodily wellness and well being make them “all in regards to the mind-body connection,” Weiss beforehand instructed Nicely+Good. And tapping into this loop is essential to sensuality. However, Virgos naturally have a tendency towards perfectionism (as evidenced by all that detail-oriented considering) and usually like to be of service, says Weiss, “each of which may make them superb in mattress.” In spite of everything, wouldn’t you wish to get it on with a companion considerate and methodical sufficient to, ahem, cowl all your sexual bases?

Within the case of Beyoncé, this Virgo-esque perfectionism has lengthy been evident, says Weiss. “Each picture, each lyric, each selection she’s ever made to collaborate—it’s all very effectively thought-out and deliberate, which is extraordinarily Virgoan.” However on the identical time, Virgos are inclined to maintain the attractive, pleasure-forward aspect of themselves personal, and present it off simply to their lovers. “Virgos are consummate compartmentalizers,” says Weiss. Simply take Beyoncé’s longtime alter ego Sasha Fierce, a strong intercourse icon whom she has claimed to embody on stage, whereas additionally saying that this wasn’t who she was in actual life in any respect.
Now, as Beyoncé has wholly come into her personal—and moved via the growth-inducing section of her Saturn return—it’s clear that she not feels the necessity to conceal behind a persona. That trajectory is widespread for a lot of Virgos, says Weiss. “As a Virgo grows older and extra assured, they have a tendency to really feel courageous sufficient to share the hidden elements of themselves.” This comes via clearly in “Virgo’s Groove,” because the singer admits to her lover that whereas they do not have “time” like they used to (acknowledging modifications to their lives through the years), she wants extra “you on me and me on you.” After which proceeds to be…fairly specific about what that may entail.
As such, the “overt, oozing, shame-free sexuality” of Renaissance makes complete astrological sense, says Weiss, as does Beyoncé’s consolation with embracing and even celebrating her personal attractive Virgoan *groove.* (We acquired hints of this transformation in earlier songs, like “Partition” and “Blow” from her self-titled fifth album, however Renaissance appears to be the fruit of her full evolution.)
A part of this Virgo progress is probably going additionally tied to how she’s realized to embody her shadow aspect (aka her reverse signal), which is Pisces. “The shadow is the a part of our unconscious thoughts that we maintain underneath wraps or wrestle to acknowledge, perceive, and settle for,” says Weiss. “For Beyoncé’s Virgo solar, rising up and into her highly effective, sex-positive self additionally requires integrating that Piscean pleasure-loving, boundary-less dreamscape.” And for any Virgo, embodying your complete essence may contain embracing a few of that reverse power of Pisces—the signal most related to free love.
That’s exactly what Renaissance displays, in Weiss’s eyes: “By sending up each queer tradition and church tradition, and embracing nearly too many musical influences to call, Beyoncé actually dives into the undulating rainbow of the Piscean collective unconscious.” Translation: That is Beyoncé at her most open and trustworthy but—and a wonderful show of the complete, ever-so-sensual potential of Virgo besides.
