This New Moon at 00°23′ Virgo is very special, as it continues next month: on 21 September we will have another New Moon in Virgo with a solar eclipse at 29°05′. This marks a very important and powerful “New Beginning” taking place in our lives.
Eclipses are known in astrology as fated events, a “call of destiny.” People, possessions, and events may show up unexpectedly and disappear just as unexpectedly from our lives. I will unpack these themes in the next update.
Major themes of the New Moon in Virgo are purification, craft, and public service.It invites us to look more deeply into our daily routines, work, service to others, the right use of resources, and our health. We may seek security in our personal lives by caring for our needs and overcoming our weaknesses. It is less about perfection and more about devotion to improvement.
The New Moon in Virgo squaring Uranus in Gemini creates a mutable square that may cause disruptions and demand adaptation. Virgo wants order and functional systems; Uranus in Gemini may bring shocks through information, technology, and communication that can influence our lives through:
Routine changes: carefully built habits and workflows get scrambled; sudden schedule shifts, app/tool failures, curveballs at work.
Data shocks: surprising news, disclosures, rapid pivots in plans; messages that reframe a situation overnight.
Mental overdrive: restlessness, insomnia, “too many tabs open”; analysis paralysis vs. impulsive switching.
Body signals: Virgo — digestion, intestines, nerves, anxiety. Gemini — lungs, left-brain/rational functions, motor skills, limbs, mobility. Possible tension, digestion sensitivity, breath-holding under stress, and a sense of overload.
We can respond with a more flexible attitude.
Uranus wants an upgrade: choose new tools, skills, workflows, conversations, courses, or mentorship.
Choose small rituals and exercises, and practice them daily to connect with presence, your breath, and the Earth when walking.
Make a healthy routine a sacred duty, not a punishment.
A simpler, healthier diet may serve us over the next four weeks.
Small habit changes in daily routines can create big changes in life.
Clean your calendar, finances, and desktop.
Define who you want to help, how you want to help, and act.
With the ruler of Virgo and Gemini, Mercury (now in Leo), we may have a stronger analytical and mental focus on the true creative purposeof our lives—our legacy, our children, and our heart’s desires. Have these conversations with those closest to you.
The New Moon forms a quincunx to a “new version of ourselves”
(Neptune, Saturn in Aries) and to Pluto in Aquarius, creating some tension and asking how we are doing the work to embody this new self emerging from previous months. Will it be long-lasting? Does it have a proper foundation—can it be relied upon?
If you have personal planets/angles at 0–3° mutable (Gemini/Virgo/Sagittarius/Pisces), you may experience immediate plot twists and conversations that alter your trajectory.
And continue to love the One that You Are,
