The New Moon In Virgo Is Here — & A Lot Of Change Is Coming Your Way
Usage Guide
Overview
Beware: The last New Moon of summer on September 10th is a doozy! The New Moon in Virgo, which marks the onset of the monthly lunar cycle, brings a lot of change our way. At this point, we’re probably tired of having to evolve and transcend every week — but the cosmos are prepping us for the onset of retrogrades that are happening in the fall. You know the drill…
The New Moon is triggered by Mars in Cancer, blending intuition with action. We’re going to find a way to integrate our internal emotions into how we pursue our desires and goals. The caveat is that our high energy and determination may make us super competitive with others, particularly those with whom we don’t wish to have conflict. In the end, we may not feel great about winning because the result distances us from people we care about. In Virgo fashion, we’ll blame ourselves when we should be mad at the circumstances. The lesson is that we can maintain friendships and alliances without escalating the issue.
The good news is that if we’re looking to start a project or take the lead at work, the New Moon’s connection to Mars gives us the stamina to do so. This isn’t a time to sit on the sidelines, even though we may not be emotionally ready to confront matters. Since the vibe can lead to passive-aggressive feelings, we intend to pursue endeavors and ventures that speak to our spirit. Under this cosmic influence, being direct is challenging, which is why underlying tensions can heighten. Beware of backhanded comments and attacks that appear out of thin air.
Taking the astrological influences of the sky further, Saturn retrograde in Aries forms a quincunx (or inconjunct) with the New Moon. This minor frustration pushes us to be cautious and pragmatic in how we move forward; although Mars is pushing us to react with wild sentiments, Saturn retrograde urges us not to let others get to us in that way. To handle the vibe, we must address matters maturely and offer simple responses. The objective is not to give others fuel to start a fire, but to have a chill demeanor in the face of adversity and not let their drama create problems in our lives.
The presence of the fixed star Asterion (Chara) alludes to ruthless and selfish attempts to control outcomes. We can conquer our goals, but be at odds with our frenemies. Their success isn’t going to sit well with us; in fact, it might make us do shady stuff behind their backs to sabotage them — the same applies to their behavior. Protecting our energy is vital to ensure they stay in their lanes and don’t let their insecurities swerve into our auras. Even if we want to be of service and help others, we must think twice before intervening. We may find ourselves feeling a certain type of way (jealous or angry) as a result.
The same day as the New Moon in Virgo, Mercury glides into Libra, Venus enters Scorpio, and Uranus retrograde in Gemini commences. These planetary shifts will pack a lot of punch, so it’ll be hard to keep up. Mercury’s movement into Libra is going to be pivotal, as the planet of communication rules Virgo. The verdict on how we wish to proceed will still be out, due to the indecisiveness of Mercury in Libra. Venus’ dive into Scorpio sets the tone for the next several months.
Details
The romantic planet, Venus, begins its retrograde on October 3rd, lasting until November 13th. Venus remains in Scorpio until January 7th, 2027, making the circumstances that are set forth on September 10th significant to the ongoing saga we’ll be facing. Uranus’ moonwalk in Gemini, which completes its cycle on February 8th, 2027, is eye-opening and reflective. Revolutionizing our lives is an uphill battle because we have to leave our comforts behind and do not want to. On the other hand, it brings us into the future, allowing us to advance and grow.
All in all, the New Moon in Virgo is an extremely potent time. Tread lightly and focus on yourself. If you’re feeling daring, go out and have midnight margaritas or watch Practical Magic 2, to find out how you can enchant your life for the better.
