Renewing itself on Sept. 10 via 18 degrees of this discerning Earth sign, this new moon initiates a fresh cycle in the part of your birth chart occupied by Virgo
Take a good look around, stargazers.
What is sustaining you and what is no longer making your life easier?
A new moon is headed our way, and in the detail-oriented sign of Virgo, this lunation is asking for a smarter, more productive plan.
Renewing itself on Thursday, Sept. 10, via 18 degrees of this discerning Earth sign, this new moon initiates a fresh cycle in the part of your birth chart occupied by Virgo.
Keep in mind, when it comes to Virgo season, the sun’s ingress into this Mutable sign occurs at the end of summer, setting the tone for the fall season. It’s important to consider what we’ve learned throughout Leo season, so we can integrate it with the energy of Virgo.
For example, now that you’ve discovered your passions and heart’s desires (Leo), the sun in Virgo provides us with the mindset and structure we need to curate this area of our lives for the greater good.
Governed by Mercury — the planet of the mind, communication and our immediate surroundings — the essence of the messenger planet brings focus to the way our minds, bodies and souls communicate with one another.
Virgo, for instance, isn’t interested in grand gestures of affection or dramatized declarations. It wants to know what we can realistically maintain and tend to. The same goes to where our time, money and emotional bandwidth is being drained.
In other words, ‘tis the season of decluttering, sharpening your pencils and getting your ducks in a row.
As for the new moon phase, this occurs when the sun and moon meet at the same degree of a zodiac sign (in this case Virgo), planting a seed for the lunar cycle ahead.
In this Earth sign, that “seed of intention” has everything to do with your routines, health habits and day-to-day support systems.
Maybe your body has been asking for a different rhythm, whether that’s your current meal plan, exercise routine or sleep pattern. This new moon is a reset rooted in practical solutions, rather than perfectionism.
The good news is that the cosmos is also bringing the conversations that can help you figure it out.
Mercury’s recent ingress into Libra begins to activate a Grand Air Trine with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius and Uranus, which stations retrograde in Gemini that same day.
A revealing exchange, collaboration or unexpected news could help you make sense of an issue you’ve been trying to figure out on your own.
On another note, the sun in Virgo will also be in a harmonious sextile with Mars in Cancer, bringing a surge of motivation and desire to protect your energy, prioritize your nourishment and sense of stability.
Venus in Scorpio will also be in opposition to Chiron in Taurus, which can expose old sensitivities around trust, worthiness or shared resources, but it also makes honesty more difficult to avoid.
Consider what needs to change so you can live a healthier, more productive life.
In the meantime, read on for what the new moon in Virgo has in store for your zodiac sign.
