This week we have a New Moon in Virgo on September 2 at 9:56 pm EDT (find your time here).
In astrology, the New Moon is a time of new beginnings and wiping the slate clean. It's when you set your intention for the lunar cycle ahead and call into your life what you want - that could be a physical, tangible thing or something like more love, a joyful daily routine, or a deeper connection to your intuition.
With this New Moon, Virgo asks us if we're ready to devote ourselves to our higher calling.
Virgo is all about the themes of cycles, routines, organization, health, and wellness. This New Moon is opposite Saturn, which brings some seriousness to this New Moon, and it can also bring up scarcity based thinking where we view the world as black and white.
We’re being asked to evaluate where in our life (take a look at where this New Moon is hitting your birth chart, or take a look at the horoscopes below!) we need to forge a new path ahead that brings our a better work/life balance, that allows time for tending to our needs and nourishing our body. Virgo is a hard worker, but Virgo knows that we can only go as far as our bodies allow and that putting our health and wellness first is key. Saturn is the wings, helping us find new ways of working with our routine instead of against it, setting boundaries and structures for our days that help us thrive instead of simply box us in.
All year Saturn has been hitting areas of our life, helping us transform and transmute, turn trash into gold, and uncover buried treasure we didn’t even know to look for. We have been challenged and uprooted, our lives tossed into disarray as we had to adjust and react to the world quickly evolving and changing around us.
Now, it’s our turn to change. This Virgo New Moon is asking us to pause and take a beat. To reflect for a moment on what routines and habits we want to put in place for ourselves going forward. To take note of where we need to build in more space, time, and cushion for ourselves so we can
Virgo has a keen eye, and you can use this New Moon to discern which habits and routines will help you fill your cup as you move forward in your days.
These energies are building towards September 17, the first of two eclipses in a row, signaling eclipse season.
