Why September is a tug-of-war between Virgo logic and Libra delulu in your situationship

September is the only month where months-old spreadsheets, clarity, and sharp analysis collide with the ultimate delulu queen in lip gloss. That’s right, when Virgo met Libra, we got a brand-new anthem.

Virgos love logic, boundaries, and running far from red flags. But just when they think they’ve escaped the unemployed, gaslighting, emotionally draining situationship, Libra energy struts in with her Venus delusion and says, 'Hold my iced latte'. And all of a sudden, the red flags start looking like rose petals. 

Think of it as the zodiac’s version of a cliffhanger. Virgo hands you the clarity you’ve been craving, but Libra arrives with just enough sparkle to make you question if moving on was really the happy ending. Confused? Don't worry, we’re breaking down this cosmic tug-of-war between Virgo’s sharp-eyed receipts and Libra’s Belly Conklin-style what-ifs. (No hate to Libras—we’re in this together, bestie.)

Virgo, the queen of spreadsheets

If you’re looking for the astrological project manager of the zodiac signs, Virgo would already have the job. She's doing a deep rabbit hole of psychoanalysis of his texts, his behaviour, his tone of voice, his effort to commitment ratio, and of course, mounting red flags at any inconsistencies. She’s also the sharp friend who never forgets to remind you he still hasn’t paid you for that 3 am Uber ride from his place. 

Virgo season isn’t one for the nonsense, aka situationships. This time of year pushes for clarity, emotional stability, and most importantly, boundaries stronger than the cells on Excel. Translation: you’re finally ready to cut ties with anyone draining your time, money, or serotonin.

Libra, the delulu duchess

Just when you thought you broke the cycle of emotional tug-of-war with your deadbeat ex, Libra energy sashays in with an iced coffee in one hand, and Venus energy in the other. Just when you were rewatching Legally Blonde and deleting his number, Libra whispers, ‘What if it’s different this time? It feels different.’

She’s the delusional romcom queen of the zodiac, the Belly Conklin of emotionally unstable relationships, ready to turn even the messiest breakup into a tragic Brontë novel. ‘He’s not unemployed, he’s just a CEO…of his one-man podcast.’ Girl, please.

When logic met delulu 

This month is a tense tug-of-war between logic, receipts, and peace on one side, and romcom delusion, chaos, and caffeine on the other. It feels like that scene in Ratatouille when Remy controls Linguini with his hair, but this time there are two rats. One is trying to get you to move on and never look back, while the other beckons you closer to someone who happened to look at you ‘cinematically’ in February but never texted you after that. You may well find yourself re-enacting a Gen Z Dr Viru Sahastrabuddhe, with one hand writing a pros and cons list, while the other drafts a text that looks suspiciously close to ‘Let’s meet up for coffee’. 

How to survive the war

Channel your inner Virgo. Journal it out, recall the facts, and trust the receipts. They don’t lie, but your delulu will. Next, sprinkle in some Libra energy. Flirt, redownload the apps, and have fun. Just don’t go crawling back to the man who had you sobbing last month. But if temptation hits, text your girls before you send that “you up?” text.

September is where Virgo’s blocking queen meets Libra’s what-if empress. The truth? You don’t have to pick sides. Let Virgo anchor you, let Libra bring the fun—but don’t let delulu win the war. Because babe, the Council of Girlies can’t save you if you willingly walk back into the situationship you worked so hard to leave.
