As we wave goodbye to the bold, outward energy of Leo, the Sun's move into Virgo on August 22 invites us to find joy in building a better future. Within the same 24 hours, the Moon also enters Virgo, creating a New Moon at 0 degrees Virgo. This powerful New Moon signifies a potent fresh start, encouraging us to find our grounding and seek equilibrium in every part of our lives.
This New Moon serves as a cosmic reset, sparking fresh starts in routines, health, work, and personal organization. Expect a period for enhanced focus on how these areas affect our daily lives. By refining our routines and finding magic in the mundane, we can embark on a journey of self-improvement, making thoughtful choices that bring order and purpose to our existence.
The concept of "intentional living" is deeply connected to Virgo, the sign that could teach a master class in creating a well-functioning life. In the spirit of Virgo, this New Moon motivates us to refine our routines, organize our surroundings, and let go of the unnecessary noise in between. This process ultimately leads to a more mindful and intentional existence, free from distractions and focused on what truly matters.
Another point worth noting making this New Moon in Virgo so special is that it's not the only one we'll have. While this one occurs in the first degree of Virgo, September's New Moon--a solar eclipse--will be in the final degree of the sign. Having two New Moons back-to-back in the same sign is rare, signaling a period of major new beginnings, especially for those with strong Virgo placements in their birth chart.
The New Moon in Virgo is an excellent time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign. As New Moons usually have a six-month trajectory, it's wise to set intentions for what you want life to look like in the next six months. The goals you begin now are all pieces of a larger puzzle. With Virgo guiding the process, the secret to success lies not in speed, but in consistency and diligence. Virgo-focused intentions can include:
- establishing routines that help manage our lives in constructive and intentional ways
- getting organized and taking action
- focusing on health, nutrition, exercise goals, and nourishment habits
- beginning a project that requires attention to detail or analytical processes
- freeing ourselves from unhealthy actions that bring clutter and chaos to our day-to-day
- making lists, crossing out completed tasks, and taking pride in the small accomplishments
- clearing clutter both physically and emotionally
Use this double New Moon energy to cultivate good habits, prioritize your well-being, and get everything in order. Virgo can help you step into your potential, inviting you to serve others--and yourself--with competence, compassion, and patience. Here, you can ground your dreams in reality by applying Virgo's signature logic and intelligence to your mystical and otherworldly desires.
Sending you love and insight throughout your week,
