On Sunday, September 2, 2024 (6:56 PM PDT & 9:56 PM EDT) the moon begins a new cycle in the grounded, practical, and service oriented sign of Virgo. As we move through this New Moon, it’s the perfect time to refresh, set intentions, and assess how we want to breathe new life into our jobs, projects, relationships, events, conversations, activities, self, etc. With the arrival of the Fall Equinox near the end of this month on Sunday, September 22nd, and Eclipse season just around the corner, this New Moon in Virgo can be seen as the turning point. So use this lunation as a time to perfect, revise, strategize, discern, and use your skills in the most effective ways.

With a New Moon in Virgo, the energy is ripe for de-cluttering, detoxing, organizing, and clearing out our physical, energetic, and emotional space. It might be time to let go of a toxic situation or some type of commitment that no longer serves you. Ideally, you’ll find ways to heal and replace it with learning how to build healthier dynamics. I’m sure many of us wish this type of transformation would happen overnight, but be prepared for it to be a slow process with lots to unpack and detangle.

 Virgo tends to be a perfectionist, pays close attention to the details, thrives off of helping others, and wants to be the best at everything he/she does. It’s no surprise that this energy can also lead to a strong inner critic, and if left unchecked, we’ll find that our insecurities and fears tend to heighten. During this lunation, it might feel as if there’s a spotlight placed on our flaws and we’ll start to think about all the things that could possibly go wrong. This may lead to self- sabotage, missing important deadlines, or being overly critical of yourself. If any confusion surfaces, find ways to connect to your inner wisdom. The good news is that there is no other sign that wants to grow more than Virgo. Try to lean more into accepting where you are instead of where you’d like or hope to be. The keyword in all of this is patience. You might not be there yet, but with time and intention, it’s very likely that you will be able to make the necessary improvements.

With so much attention placed on the minute details, it will be important to connect to something that feels bigger than you. Walk the beach, sit under a tree, practice mindfulness, drive with your windows down, take a bath, journal, paint, and find anything that helps ground you. If your mind starts to spin with unnecessary chatter, let your heart guide you, and don’t forget to show yourself a very large dose of compassion.

While we all might feel pulled during this New Moon to get grounded, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Virgo is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you’re interested in a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.
