Moon Miniscopes
Planting New Seeds.
The New Moon falls at 11º Virgo, 9:55 PM ET on September 2nd. The last few weeks have seen ups and downs, and now we are trying to find our footing again. The Mercury retrograde is over and we are slowly gaining clarity. This New Moon reminds us of the hard work we have put in and how we can prepare for our harvest; to taste the fruits of our labor. The earthy energy keeps us rooted, grounded, and maintaining equilibrium.
This lunation signals a fresh perspective, as the Sun and Moon are both ruled by Mercury. In Earth signs, we may find ourselves feeling the desire to get out and connect with the world around us. Mercury will be building to a final square to Uranus. There is a spontaneous and enlightening vibe that comes from the meeting of these celestial bodies. Uranus invites us to act—to put our energy and intention into something grand—while Mercury fuels this and materializes it. Perhaps we are more willing to step outside of our comfort zone than we normally would be. This could also bring an unexpected resolution from the recent retrograde, where Mercury and Uranus were square previously. This aspect welcomes ingenuity and adventure at every turn.
Working with Uranus, you can ask yourself: What fuels you? What needs a change? Where could you be more bold or spontaneous? Both the Sun and Moon in Virgo invite us to deliberate before making any moves, especially as they oppose Saturn. The Saturn opposition can create weighted energy, slowing us down and forcing us to recognize where we have felt trapped or disappointed lately. On top of this, Mars will square Neptune. This square tends to have us demotivated or lacking ambition. We are best to ideate and dream, not force anything ahead.
Venus seems to be caught up at this New Moon, as well. It forms a tight conjunction with the South Node. This has us revisiting our values, relationships, and sense of self-worth. We could be seeking a change in our lives. Perhaps we feel that we need to invite different attitudes in how we relate to others. Venus will gift us the softness and support we need to refocus and realign ourselves now. Look at where you have been too overcompromising and where you can find more balance.
This New Moon proves to be pivotal, as it signals the last lunation before eclipse season. Luckily, Virgo gives us space to organize whatever arises and to make sense of it all. Remember that Mercury has a powerful role in this New Moon, so anything can be achieved or resolved through the power of interaction and communication. Ensure that you take care to open up to those that matter, and seek support to find much-needed peace.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 6º to 16º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
We are preparing for a new season, but right now, you are being called to slow down a bit. Focus. Pay attention to what is happening around you. This New Moon will highlight your needs, health, boundaries, and routines. With it in Virgo, you will be focusing on the small mundane details of your life and getting yourself organized. How have you been treating yourself? How are you feeling?
This New Moon could be a call to rest, recover, and tend. You may finally be getting clarity around a work or health matter with this lunation falling in your 6th House. This New Moon wants you to focus on your routines and how you can make small changes in your daily life to impact your overall well-being. This means taking control of the little things and ensuring that you make appropriate shifts to get healthier or engage in stronger boundaries. Healthier doesn’t always imply diet or exercise. This could come in the form of giving yourself more grace and focusing on your emotional and mental health, too. Of course, work lies here too. So, this lunation could be a call to make changes to your overall work environment, responsibilities, or tasks.
With Saturn opposing this New Moon from your 12th House, there will be a push and pull between feeling busy and needing rest. You may find that your energy levels wax and wane, and that you need space for some self-care. Overdoing it will result in feeling unwell or overwhelmed. Saturn is reminding you of the power of rest, relaxation, and balancing priorities. Take it easy if you can around this time. Saturn may also bring up a need to close doors or find peace in endings around this time. Endings can be the means of a new beginning, so try not to hold onto what needs to be let go.
Use this New Moon to lean into better health practices. Focus on achieving work/life balance and open yourself up to different work opportunities. Make changes to your routines and get organized! Take credit where you deserve it and never undercut your value. Rest where and how you can.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
It is time to talk about joy, happiness, and creativity. With the New Moon falling in your 5th House, there can be an ease to this energy which is welcomed after some strain for you. Now is time to lean into the pleasurable side of life, releasing anything standing in the way of your true happiness.
The fellow Earth energy is flowing and natural for you. You may decide to start a new creative endeavor or reach a turning point in one. If you are looking to conceive anything (child, romance, project), this New Moon will be perfect for that. This lunation deals with creation at its core and affairs of the heart. Where do you find pleasure? Joy? What is the source of your creativity? How do you open your heart up? How can you take more risks? Use this time to take that leap and express yourself just as you are in this present moment. Unapologetically own your creativity and find what fuels you. You have to share your passions and show love to those you care about. In doing this, you receive it back tenfold. You create your happiness. Honestly, just do something that makes you feel good.
Saturn in your 11th House opposes the New Moon. It asks that you balance perspectives, especially in regard to friendships or outside opinions. You may feel obligations to community or weighed down by a goal/aspiration. This can take the joy out of an experience or creation for you. The ask is to balance things. Be reminded as to WHY you create and for whom (hopefully yourself) and that can restore your faith in your work/art/creations. If people are feeling more demanding right now, take a step back and focus on what brings you happiness. Restore your sense of personal joy and that will extend beyond you to those around you.
Use this New Moon to stand in your light and unapologetically shine. Create, connect, and conceive! You have the chance to make internal waves and question your doubts. Resilience is yours. Reignite that spark.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
This New Moon is going to have you more withdrawn than usual. You are turning your focus away from the outside world — and becoming a little more introverted (yes, even you need time to recharge). Geminis are more sensitive than they lead on, constantly soaking up the energy of everything around them.
This New Moon is a reminder to refill your cup. You may find that home-related matters are top of mind now. You may be looking to buy/sell a home, rent, or renovate. This lunation will be very helpful for you. If you want to redecorate, you are also in a good position to do so. The energy around this New Moon comes to illuminate your emotional security. Your past informs your future, but your present dictates what that future will be. You may spend time reflecting now and reconnecting with those close to you. Take it easy right now. You, alternatively, may be seeking the comforts of your family, chosen or given, and finding peace in their presence. Now is the time to know that evolution starts at our core — from the roots to the flower.
Saturn will oppose this New Moon from your 10th House. Demands at work will pull you in different directions. There are competing priorities right now, and you are worried about dropping the ball. External pressures can have you denying your own private/personal needs. You are working hard to slowly build something to bring out into the world, but it should not come at the expense of your inner balance. Saturn may demand a lot from you, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Being a planet of wisdom, you can restore balance by knowing your limits and tuning into your intuition. Saying no to something will not cost you a chance at success or a good outcome. It just may mean that you can’t take it on right now.
Use this New Moon to focus on your roots and foundations. Connect with family, chosen or given. Make changes to your living space and get in touch with your emotional well-being. Sit in the nostalgia but don’t get lost there. Tomorrow is a new day.
Cancer & cancer Rising
You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but never enough time taking care of yourself. This New Moon will fall in your 3rd House, asking you to use your voice and speak up. This is about walking away from overthinking. You deserve to say what is on your mind as much as anyone else.
This New Moon can have you reaching a culmination on a writing project or looking to connect with friends, siblings, and those you are closer with. You are learning through interactions and taking time to siphon through information and what other people are saying to you. You are being asked to be adaptable, but there is still something about owning your truth. You may also be asked to have a conversation that feels more difficult, but you are finding the words to make it much easier. You are changing your perspective. Growth comes through learning and integrating. The people that you have around you, are showing you possibilities. They are teaching you how to see things in a new way.
But most importantly, they are showing you that your voice matters. Your words hold power. So say what you need to say.
Saturn in your 9th House opposes the New Moon. You are caught between thinking and acting — perhaps even making a decision. But here is the TDLR; version, choosing one thing doesn’t mean you don’t get to change your mind or choose the other. Essentially, Saturn is teaching you the power of taking leaps of faith and taking risks. You are supposed to maintain a big-picture perspective and try something new. Experience! Choosing the safe option isn’t always the best option (within reason, so long as it doesn’t harm you or others). When we expand beyond our horizons, we see a world that has been waiting for us. Opt to think bigger, act bigger, be bigger. This is not a time to be a shrinking violet. Choose one thing and be ok with the fact that you may have to change course down the line.
Use this New Moon to find your voice again. Speak up on what you believe in, and listen to those around you. Conversation and communication will be important now. Write your ideas down and start finding the motivation to put these thoughts into motion!
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
Leo now is the time to flex your skills and stand your ground. This New Moon is perfectly placed in your 2nd House! This will have your mind on income, self-worth, and value. You can work to get yourself in a good position. But be your own advocate.
This New Moon can bring up conversations or thoughts around resources and finances. If you work for yourself, you could see an influx of clients or think of new money-making ideas. You should release self-doubt at this New Moon. It is what will stand in the way of your earning potential. You know your talents and your strengths. Use them to your advantage and show people what you are worth. Alternatively, there may be reflections on security coming up for you, too. It may not be so much about what you are earning, but what you own (even outside of material goods) — and how that relates to your perception of your value. Thus, you are paying attention to what you deserve and how you can treat yourself better. Sometimes, we forget that we do deserve to build security, outside of material security, for ourselves. In order to actually feel grounded or connected, we have to accept ourselves for who we are.
Saturn is poised in your 8th House, where it opposes the New Moon. Here we oscillate between sharing and retaining resources (time, space, energy, money, etc). Saturn tells us that sometimes holding onto things longer than we need to can be harmful to our health and damaging to our sense of self-worth. In essence, death is only a door. By letting go or allowing ourselves space to move through the harder things, we welcome growth opportunities. If you feel that your resources have been tied up or feeling depleted, step back and reassess. This energy is great for helping you find alternative ways of working with what you have or even expanding what is available to you. Nothing is set in stone. If you have been going through a major life transition in any way, give yourself space to grieve and heal. You will be more abundant for it later.
Use this New Moon to focus on your value and worth. Make changes to how you view money and abundance. Find new or additional resources or income. Above all else, cultivate a better relationship with yourself and your self-worth.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo, there is a New Moon in your sign! This is important and points to the Full Moon we experienced in your sign earlier around late February of this year. Think back to what you started around then and how you are carrying a similar theme. Perhaps you are ready to start a new cycle for yourself or pieces are starting to come together!
This New Moon will highlight your 1st House, ruling needs, desires, motivations, and goals. When was the last time you asked yourself what you want? Like, what do you really want? The theme seems to be allowing yourself to shine and stand in your own strength. You can be recognized for who you are and what you seek to create. The 1st house is about identity, and with a New Moon here, you may be shedding some skin. You can let go of who you were — in order to make room for who you truly are. This is being unapologetically yourself. Now you are the alchemist. You call the shots. You make the choices. You care deeply about others, and you understand the impacts of your own actions, but sometimes we don’t realize how limiting it can be to ONLY focus on others. If abundance is plural and we choose not to grow — then you may be inhibiting the growth of someone else. This is about you bringing to an end some of the outdated narratives you have written or believe about yourself. This is about changing how you see yourself enough to love yourself a little more. Self-respect.
With Saturn in your 7th House opposite the New Moon, you are caught between pleasing others and doing something just for you. But this doesn’t mean that acting on one of these can’t satisfy the other. Saturn is teaching you what it means to commit and agree, and how to better repaginate and reassess your role in your relationships. Some relationships may falter or become more weak, while others will strengthen exponentially. At this New Moon, it will feel very in your face, as you feel torn between making a choice regarding a partnership or a close person in your life. Know that nothing is final. You don’t have to make the grave decision today! Saturn teaches us about time and patience. Focusing on the long-term aspect here, we can ask ourselves, “what do we really hope for in the end with this relationship”? That may give you the clarity you need.
Use this New Moon to get in touch with yourself, your desires, and your motivations. Ask yourself who you want to be. Focus on how you can act on what you want and make space for your goals. It is your turn.
Libra & Libra Rising
You are being pulled into a need for rest and relaxation. You have been going nonstop for quite some time, and now you’re being asked to slow things down. The Sun and Moon align in your 12th House. There are important endings afoot now.
If you are working on a project, you are not quite ready to leap or expose what you’ve been doing, but you see the finish line. You are changing how you approach your spirituality, your intuition – but also changing how you can let go and find resolution. We may not always have control in our lives over what’s happening, but we can control our reactions and steer things to the outcome we seek. It is the mark of a significant ending of something in your life. It may be the end of a job, a partnership, a habit, an identity, something. But it has made room for something greater. Endings aren’t scary. They are necessary. Right now, you should take time to comb through what you let go of — so that you don’t take that energy with you into the next phase. That means time to process your emotions.
With Saturn opposed the New Moon from your 6th House, there is a sense that you are overwhelming yourself with taking on too much in the material world. Saturn is having you restructure your relationship with productivity and routine. Perhaps you are biting off more than you can chew or even fighting the urge to do/be more than you need to right now. With the New Moon in your 12th, there is a sense that you may need to balance work with rest, and productivity with pleasure. Too much control will leave you feeling lifeless and depleted. Saturn wants to teach you the value of belief and flexible structures, as it moves through Pisces. You may need to give yourself more room to create and sit in the ebb and flow. Maybe the ebb and flow is the structure you need to model, as it is as consistent as anything else, too.
Use this New Moon to bring a chapter to a close. Find space to open new doors and explore possibilities. You can get further in touch with your faith, spirituality, or intuition — possibly even using this to inform and guide you. Most importantly, use this New Moon to give yourself a place to rest, finding peace and resolution in anything that feels that it is pending.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
I know you don’t always like to ask for help, but this New Moon will have people showing up for you left and right! The amount of support you have is uncanny. You are making new friendships and maybe saying goodbye to old ones that aren’t as solid as they used to be.
Take a look at your connections, friendships, network, and even your dreams. Where are you siphoning off your energy, and what is taking up too much space? Are you leaving room for new opportunities, new people, or new ideas? This lunation will bring you back to your dreams, perhaps reigniting a spark. You can make powerful connections with others that push you closer to what you really want out of life. Your mind seems to be on the future and where you are headed overall. If things don’t align with your vision, you don’t have to hold onto them. You can walk away from it. Consider ways you can build a new future with others — and not alone. Community is your backbone. Who do you look to? Where does your community lie?
Saturn is in your 5th House, teaching you lessons around personal joy and happiness. It opposes the New Moon and tells you to refocus your attention. Perhaps you are feeling isolated or that you are not getting what you need in solitude. With the New Moon in your 11th House, try connecting with friends who inspire you! Saturn says that creation doesn’t have to happen in isolation, but it can happen in collaboration. Personal pleasure is another theme that comes to life here. You may need to get more serious about taking care of yourself and doing what makes you happy! That means caring less about what other people think in that regard. No one can experience or express your joy quite like you, so remain open and try new things to see what will add some variety and value to your life!
Use this New Moon to focus on community and ways that you can use your innate talents to help others. Find networks and groups that you can connect with and re-establish bonds with friends. Possibly even throw your partner into the mix or start a new relationship (romantically, business-wise, or even platonically).
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
You have been working hard lately. This New Moon in your 10th House is asking you to reframe your thoughts around your direction in life, your career, and what you want in the end from all of it. Your mind will be on work and your goals in the coming year. This is the start of something new!
Right now, this particular lunation brings in fresh energy – not necessarily in regard to your work, but maybe even your attitude surrounding it. What do you want your future to look like? What are your long-term visions? This relates to what was happening around March for you this year. When we start something, we may have to let something else go. You are more ready and willing to expand what your purpose, direction, and work may look like. You are being seen by the right people. You are being heard by those that need to listen to you. Make yourself visible now. This is a call to be noticed. Do not shy away when the time arises.
With Saturn in your 4th House, it opposes the New Moon, bringing you back home. You could feel pulled between needing to show up at work but having responsibilities on the Homefront. To be honest, you don’t need to feel like you have to pick one or the other. The reality is that you can easily support both and not have to choose one thing over another. What that will require is being realistic about your priorities and what you say yes to. Not everything will require your immediate attention, even if you are told otherwise. Reclaiming your personal peace and giving your home life the love it deserves will help you immensely. Recenter yourself and give yourself space to rest, and you will find that tackling external/work projects will be much easier.
Use this New Moon to focus on your career goals and your direction in life. Realign yourself with what you want and let go of what is not worth your energy. If you walk away from a job, a new one is just around the corner. If you choose to rise through the ranks, you are being noticed. Ask for what you deserve.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
It is time to grow, grow, grow! The New Moon in Virgo will highlight your 9th House, asking you to expand past your current limitations. This House represents risk-taking, pushing past the horizons, and listening to your higher knowing. Whatever your goal is, now is the time to make sure you are fully aligned with it.
This New Moon will make sure that you release anything in your path that is holding you back. Experience can give you wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Over the last few years, you have been realizing just how important that is. However, you may have accumulated information, morals, or values that no longer suit you where you are in life. It is ok to change and let go of what is outdated. You could be starting a new school or diploma-based program, excelling in higher Ed., looking to travel, starting a new language, or even just exploring spirituality. This is just the beginning of what’s to come. The 9th House doesn’t end on those topics — it rules aspects of the liminal, but more on the edges. It rules politics and ethics. You are changing those views and really taking stock of how you show up in the world. If you have been wanting to do something exciting, fresh, or new — then let this be your green light!
Saturn opposes the New Moon from your 3rd House, where it tells you that sharing is as important as anything else. This means that you can’t always keep quiet or hold things in, as communication leads to a greater sense of growth. You are being taught the power of flexibility and being able to change your stance, mind, truth, and position. You don’t have to keep things going as they have always been. Saturn in Pisces is all about mutability. It doesn’t make you inconsistent, on the contrary, it actually makes you more aligned with your ever-growing sense of truth. Knowing when to pivot or change allows you to be more embodied. So don’t let this be a time where you trap yourself in unnecessary thought patterns. Explore, shift, change, and allow those to be the basis of your growth. Adventure happens close to home, and with the 3rd House showing up here, you may (re)discover parts of your city or neighborhood around this time.
Use this New Moon to expand your horizons, go back to school or even take a trip (safely). You can explore new spiritualities or politics, redefining your morals and ethics — but this requires letting go of old ones. You make the call. You decide what your big picture looks like. Leap into a new phase of your life.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
It is time to rely on those you trust intimately. This New Moon is very healing for you and can bring you close to a partner or friend. Now is the time to share your resources, your fears, your desires, and your motivations. Your 8th House is being activated, so nothing is off-limits.
Who do you trust enough to let in? How can you make room to have that intimate reciprocity in your relationships? The 8th House is one that is rarely seen, but when a lunation falls here, it asks for us to see what’s been hidden. You can make great strides in healing matters, releasing old wounds or past pains, or even in exploring your own sexuality and what brings you true pleasure. This is a very sensitive area of your chart, so you may need to navigate delicately. In thinking about a close relationship, you have to trust that things are going your way and let go of any control you may feel. The deep connections you make with others are profound and genuinely healing. This area of your chart also rules money outside of income. Perhaps your partner is taking on a new job that boosts your spending/earning potential overall in the relationship. Or maybe, you receive some sort of loan or assistance. You could possibly even pay down a debt that has been looming over you.
Saturn is opposite the New Moon, as it sits in your 2nd House. Here, Saturn is teaching you the value of self-worth and self-reliance — not that you can’t be supported by others or support people. There is something in holding strong in your sense of beliefs and reassessing your relationship with your resources. You may have to get more realistic with where you have been giving up too much of your resources, and where you have been feeling depleted the most. Of course, this isn’t just financial. It can be emotional, mental, physical, etc. With Saturn in the 2nd, you can create a more formidable and grounded approach to your financial situation, perhaps even finding more long-term projects or clients that create more stability. If not financial, you may decide to find ways to be more stable or grounded in your approach to giving way your energy or time — knowing that some should be kept for you to do what you want to do, as well.
Use this New Moon to explore your sexuality and your intimacy. Release old baggage and let go of fears that stand in the way. Find alternative resources and apply for grants, mortgages, and loans! It’s time to transform your outlook. It is time to call back your power! Healing, grieving, and shadow work are a must now.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
The focus on “me” vs “we” has been very prevalent over the last year. Autonomy is important, but so are the relationships you cultivate. You can do a lot on your own, but sometimes you need to be reminded that you don’t have to. There are close relationships that want to help you and support you.
This lunation is in your 7th House, and it is time to take a look at the “others” in your life and figure out what role they play. This New Moon will fall in your opposite sign turning your attention to close one-on-one relationships. What is the dynamic? How are you both contributing? This isn’t limited to romantic partners. It could be in business, family, and friendships, as well. Luckily, this New Moon is like a fresh start for you. If you are not thinking about anyone else, you could be considering what talents you are giving away instead of using them for yourself. If you need guidance, seek the advice of someone you trust to give you what you need to hear. Now is the time to allow yourself to rely on someone for help. By cultivating strength in your partnerships, you build deeper trust and share the weight of responsibilities. Nothing should ever be one-sided. Call in a balance.
Saturn is in your sign or your 1st House, and it has been already changing you from the inside out in the last year. At this New Moon, it creates an opposition, making this a testament to your own growth/changes. You are asked to remain more grounded in your sense of being and know what your limits are in the process of evolving. Not everyone is going to react well to the “new” you, but it isn’t always about making others more comfortable in your life. You have to live YOUR life, not the life others believe you should have. This means aligning with your motivations, passions, and desires — not anyone else’s. Actually, you may find that you have more support from people who truly care about you the more you lean into your own growth and focus on your independence. Consider this a turning point in the story of Saturn in your 1st House. From here, you can build and create anything you wish, even if it isn’t easy from the start.
Use this New Moon to focus on the relationships in your life. This isn’t just romantic, but also in business or with family/friends. You may need to change your view on support and allow yourself to let others in. You are forging/deepening really important relationships now. Let them grow, and in turn, help you grow.
