Virgo New Moon Miniscopes
Virgo New
Moon Miniscopes
Chaotic Clean-up.
The New Moon in Virgo 0º falls on August 23rd at 2:06 AM ET.
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. Both the Sun and Moon will be building to a 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 the Sun 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, as Mercury retraces its steps from the last few weeks. 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. This is the first of two New Moons we will experience in Virgo — and the last lunation before eclipse season. Consider this a doorway into the eclipse portal! Whatever we plant now will be radically different on the other side.
Mercury and Mars are conversing at this New Moon, as well. They form a sextile, bringing new energy to Mercury. This has us revisiting our motivations, inspirations, and sense of self-determination. 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. With Mars in Libra, look at where you have been too overcompromising and where you can find more balance.
This New Moon proves to be pivotal. 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 25º to 29º or 0º to 5º, 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 in 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.
Uranus is in your 3rd House. So, it seems that you may get unexpected news that shakes you up a bit. There may be information that comes out that really changes your perspective. It may come from a friend, sibling, neighbor, or someone in your local community. Alternatively, you could find yourself in high demand or spreading yourself too thin. Be careful of biting off more than you can chew. Even more — you could get an unexpected offer for a job, client, or creative project! Uranus is unpredictable, so it is hard to know how it will manifest in your life completely. One of the best ways Uranus can manifest is through inspiring ideas in your 3rd House. Uranus may push you to be more vocal or share — perhaps in ways you had not considered before.
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.
Uranus squares the lunation, throwing thunderbolts of electricity from your 2nd House. You could be facing self-confidence or self-worth issues. Maybe this creates doubt in how you expend your energy. Alternatively, you could be battling something financial around this New Moon that is making it harder to keep your cool. There could be an unexpected bill, or maybe a dream/idea comes at a cost. Uranus is a wildcard, and it is hard to see how it may play out. Expected the unexpected.
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.
There may be hiccups as Uranus sits in square to the New Moon. Uranus is in your 1st House, creating waves for the last few years. You have been finding new ways to change how you approach your identity and motivations. This is about freeing yourself from past versions of yourself. Because of the tension between the New Moon and Uranus, one of the freedoms must be around external validation and worries about perception. Uranus will create surprises, so watch people’s behavior. Don’t try to control what or who you can’t. We just have to go with the flow with this New Moon.
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.
Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing – thus scattering your energy into too many things. The New Moon is square to Uranus, creating tension. Uranus sits in your 12th House. You are trying to talk things out, but you aren’t being heard. The 12th House rules all that’s hidden: secrets, dreams, subconscious energy, and even endings. Emotions will run high at this New Moon, but know with Uranus in the 12th House like this, it will bring an ending. Maybe it is time to finally let go of something or someone in your life. Uranus wants you to trust your intuition more than anything.
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.
Uranus is creating activity and little tension from your 11th House. It seems that a friend, relationship, or dream is being questioned. They could be depleting your resources (emotional and financial), as well as having you think about the longevity of it all. If it is a dream, maybe you are trying to figure out how to fund it. Well, with Uranus — inspiration can come! If it is a friend or relationship, Uranus is much more unpredictable. It is hard to figure out the outcome, but know you must have open and honest communication. The 11th House, where Uranus is, rules the future. So, your future is coming into focus and something needs to be addressed that impacts that. It will take some tact and maybe overcoming the fears you hold to help you see things through. At times, all we need is a little trust fall.
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 March 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 needs, desires, motivations, and goals. When was the last time you asked yourself what you wanted? Like, what you really wanted? 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.
Uranus creates electricity from your 10th House. There is something going on at work. There could be a restructure, a surprise, or a change in your career, office, work — or even in your own life direction! You may be questioning your vocation or might need to reframe your perspective to align with where you want to be. This could encompass working for yourself, changes to your personal life, or even a promotion. But whatever it is, Uranus is definitely bringing a call for attention — and possibly action. Know if something comes to an end, there will be something new that comes just as quickly. Uranus is the liberator, so you could be freeing yourself from the confines of your work and moving into a new field entirely (whether by your own accord or not). But it is unpredictable, so we have to roll with the punches with Uranus.
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.
Uranus is sitting in your 9th House squaring this New Moon, so you could be questioning your next leap in life — your next steps. Your goals and future are being reflected upon. Perhaps you are trying to find new ways to grow and this requires a shift in perspective. Morality and education will come up here. You will have to take a stance on something you believe in and not be afraid to share this viewpoint with others…even if it upsets them. You may also be facing a crisis of consciousness, trying to learn to have faith, even when you may doubt yourself.
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?
Uranus is in your 8th House of intimacy, shared resources, and healing — squaring this lunation. There needs to be a bit of a death…metaphorically of course. An outdated idea or mentality has to go so that you can actually achieve a dream. This also requires that you get intimate with yourself and others. Are you sharing the deepest parts of yourself? Do people know what is really going on behind the scenes? You can’t hide forever, and Uranus will have you feeling electric as you are itching to break out of your own skin. You have to be willing to confront your shadows or your demons. Seeking counsel will be important— even if it is just from a friend. You have to get out of your own way.
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.
Uranus is the planet of surprise, with an unpredictable nature. It squares the lunation from your 7th House. You may be shocked at what you discover around this New Moon — particularly around your partnerships or closest one-on-one relationships. You may be ending a partnership (business or romantic) or be presented with something you had not considered before. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem you were privy to the reaction or information. Of course, this could be a good surprise — as you never know with Uranus. Some of you may unexpectedly get a job offer, asked to be engaged, or take a relationship to the next level! With Uranus at play, it is best to not try to control the circumstances. This is a time to take a leap and see where it takes you, even if it shakes your sense of security. Keep in mind the 7th House, where Uranus is, rules all one-on-one relationships: business, familial, platonic, romantic, contractual, etc.
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!
Uranus is sitting in your 6th House, squaring this New Moon. Work or your daily life seems to be busier than ever, almost a little overwhelming. You have been running around with no clear direction. It is muddying what you hope for and causing you to not see the big picture…your goals. Uranus is creating changes with work, health, and routines. Some of these are outside your control. It could be feast or famine, or maybe you are just looking to free yourself from the norms you have always known. Uranus pushes you toward understanding that you can’t control the circumstances, but you can control the outcome. You need to reframe your security. If you are having health issues, take charge. Alternatively, if this is about lifestyle, then maybe you need to rethink how you go about your routines. Make health a priority so that you can live out your future goals.
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.
Uranus is making things a little unpredictable. There is a feeling of uncertainty around this New Moon. Uranus sits in your 5th House of expression, creativity, love, and self-confidence. You could feel that your confidence is shaky or that you are not expressing how you feel correctly. Uranus is itching to help you break free from limitations and choose to take that plunge, that leap. You have to put yourself out there, even if it seems hard so that people can see the real you…all of you. You can’t hide anymore. The ways in which you have made yourself small are coming to a head. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
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.
Uranus is in your 4th House, squaring this lunation. So, it seems that you may feel pulled in two directions. You could have shifts coming at home that you were not privy to. There may be surprises that pop up, and in turn, this could place stress on you. This New Moon makes alterations to how you view your family. Perhaps shifting your home/family itself (is there a new member coming, or is your family dynamic restructuring/changing?). You may feel the need to nest or ground yourself. This is a call to withdraw a bit. It is hard to tell what will happen, as Uranus is a planet of unpredictability. However, the outcome could be favorable for you. It helps you bring an end to something that may have been holding you back — or it could allow you to listen to your intuition more.
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.
