How fitting is it for the Virgo New Moon to be right on time with the beginning of Virgo season, haha! Well, let’s discuss this new moon and how it can impact us.
The Virgo is a very practical, analytical energy that focuses on the details, the small pieces that make up the bigger picture. If you have a 10-page dissertation to write, Virgos will have no problem scanning for grammatical errors, formatting issues, and the like. The Virgo is also a healer of many different disciplines, serving as spiritual healers, medical professionals, and more.
New moons are times for new energy, manifestations, a clean slate. The best way to determine what this new moon is impacting for you is to look at which house you have Virgo in currently, as well as any aspects it is making to any other parts of your natal chart. Here are some general themes for each rising sign (please take into account any aspects you have as well!):
Aries risings: This new moon is transiting your 6th house. As described above, it’s time to hone in on those daily routines where you schedule rest and recovery as often as you do your other chores/responsibilities.
Taurus risings: Your 5th house of creativity and pleasure is the star, here. How can you incorporate more play/pleasure into your daily routines? Do something your inner child would like!
Gemini risings: The 4th house of the home & family is significant, here. What areas of your life could stand to be nurtured a bit more? You may also be re-evaluating maternal relationships or feel led to connect deeper with your ancestors at this time as well.
Cancer risings: The new moon is transiting your third house of communication and short-distance travels. Thinking about taking a short trip or a quick vacation? This is also a great time to revisit those old journals and start writing a bit more.
Leo risings: Your second house of values & possessions is the focus. Maybe instead of just focusing on manifesting more money with this new moon, you choose to reevaluate how you view money and shift those perspectives a bit so you have a healthier relationship with it. Maybe money management is the focus for you instead of calling in more at this time.
Virgo risings: Right in your first house of self is where this dark moon transits. You really take pride in how you can be of service to others, but be aware of not giving too much to the point of losing your sense of self. Balance is key, here.
Libra risings: The 12th house of the unseen/subconscious rests here. Are you being proactive in your manifestations or is it all dreamy/wishful thinking? Use your intuition to your advantage, but don’t forget to put some Virgo action into it! A blend of both is the perfect storm for forward movement and resolutions.
Scorpio risings: Now may be the time to network and join forces with people/social groups for your projects as this Virgo new moon transits your 11th house. You don’t have to do it all alone!
Sagittarius risings: Harness that Virgo 10th house energy to make a practical plan for your career endeavors. It’s a time to get brilliant on the basics. Focus on the small wins that lead up to the big, grand show you’re manifesting!
Capricorn risings: It’s time to expand and grow as this Virgo new moon transits your 9th house of spirituality, philosophy, & long-distance travel. You may feel a pull towards new perspectives and and expanding your spiritual practices to support it.
Aquarius risings: The 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformations is front and center with this new moon. If this new moon brings up some intense emotions for you, consider alchemizing those tears into something that better serves you! This is a great time for ritual and manifestations through alchemy.
Pisces risings: Venus has a significant influence in this Virgo new moon energy transiting your 7th house of partnerships and legalities. Use that Venusian energy to manifest your ideal relationships or to add some spark to your current existing ones. Relationships are work! How can you revive your own?
Now, how does this Virgo New Moon energy correspond with the Hermit in Tarot?
The Hermit teaches us about the wisdom in isolation and reflection. Virgo energy can often times be, “go, go, go” without much emphasis on taking a step back to really look at how that energy affects each area of our lives, as noted in each house we went through above. So, regardless of what area of your life this new moon is impacting, make sure you’re balancing that workhorse/active/push energy with some yin. Both are important!
Feel free to ritualize this new moon energy with some moon water, or a white candle with your intentions and do the damn thing! You got this!
