ASTRO: NEW MOON IN SOVEREIGN VIRGO

ASTRO: NEW MOON IN VIRGO 11 SEPT 26

@4: 27 BST

Hail & Welcome to September & ASTRO: New Moon in Virgo. How was your Eclipse & Full moon last month? I hope you found some joy & peace from whatever presented itself to you. We now have another journeying toward a new phasing all about the very organised & sovereign Virgo. Let’s not beat around the bush, Virgo isn’t a pushover! She is very independent & seemingly has everything under her control. So let’s take a dive into this new moon where the Sun & Moon abide together for a short while in balance.

New Moon is a time of new beginnings, projects, ideas, fertilisation, initiative & intuitive blasts. We first prepare a bed for our seeds & make it so that our seeds germinate & begin the growing process. We nurture these growing plants by watering them & paying great attention to this process, learning from it & encouraging them to grow more. In much the same way, New Moon is a time of new beginnings, restarts & planting seeds of hope, which as universal beings we enter into a contract with the universe to manifest. Manifestation is a reciprocal relationship we have with the universal flow of energy. As long as we work toward what we have put out there energetically, keep in mind the end result & become the person we need to be to receive all this energy, we will be in receipt of that goodness. New moon is a time of setting boundaries, intentions & plans for the future.

New Moon is in the sign of Virgo represented by the Virgin Goddess & let’s get this right, she is no mean feat! This badass Goddess is all about independence & self-sufficiency. She takes care of herself & needs no other to maintain a healthy relationship with her own sacredness, self-care, self-love, loving relationships, relationships with finances, home & work. We have reached the organisation station of our journeying this year. For some of us this New Moon also marks a move toward the end of the year, October to December is a time full of endings & retraction to inner caves for our shadow workings & dormancy. Unfortunately, we do not exist this way in our regular society, so there is no support for those of us who do or need to, other than from Mother Earth herself & those who fervently protect her. So, we mimic her as much as possible in the letting go of our lessons by sharing our findings & releasing that which will no longer serve our journeying into the next season.

Virgo is an Earth sign, so there is a lot of ‘get yourself grounded’ energy to be immersing into. We need to go barefoot somewhere & feel the Earth energies vibrating through our feet, the Grandmother drum thumping out heart signature vibrations, sink into it, so we can feel our part in this world as we remember ourselves & flow in harmony with whichever season of life we are in. Honour the self & the Mother with purity & an open heart & begin to weave the thread of joy within. Allowing ourselves to be fully aware that we are exactly where we are supposed to be at this time will help us in the process of harmonising. The Virgin Goddess represents wholeness. We advance on this journey to remember ourselves within this great complex of inter-connecting threads. By honouring our sacredness, we are opening ourselves to the energy of the Virgin Goddess which we all have inside of us. Listen to our bodies, listen to the wisdom we hold within. Only we know ourselves this well.

In addition, Virgo New Moon ushers in self-dependability, organisation & a welcome recharge. Virgo is all about health, well-being & systematic rearranging. Far from being stuck in a rut, we are being encouraged to get out into nature to ground & find balance for our own health & well-being. We are being kicked up the bottom to get a grip of our daily lives. Virgo wants us to have a good old clear out, physically, mentally & practically. A good home or workspace cleanse to remove all unwanted energies is called for to create space for efficiency & productivity. This process applies to our minds & bodies also. So, once you have that space cleared, it is time to reschedule yourself into your routine! Look for the things which do not work for you. The type of food which makes you sluggish, get rid! The lack of motivation around exercise or beginning that new workout? Schedule something new in, even if only for 5 minutes per day, as this will give you the impetus to do more & you will feel the benefit of that positive change in your life almost immediately. Warning here is to not allow Virgo’s obsessiveness to over-compensate in areas of neglect. For example, try not to allow cleaning & clearing the home or workspace to prevent you from allowing that, self- love & care, routine you had in mind to timetable into your more productive days. It pays to pay attention to every area, but not at the risk of obsession. Virgo wants us to have words with ourselves about setting healthy boundaries & realistic targets. This is our Autumnal wake up call to get organised & efficient.

This is a call for a reset. Our inner selves’ growth & well-being is of the utmost importance at this point.

Ask :-

What is no longer serving my highest growth?

What can I do to practice bringing myself to a place of belonging?

How can I practice bringing myself into a space of interconnectedness?

How can I practice sacred self- care, honouring the wisdom I carry within?

We must learn to talk with our mind & body, asking what it requires, what nourishes & what makes for hard processing? This can be food, exercise, self-care, clarity. Right now, learn to accept what is & that whatever is unravelling for us is for our highest well-being, a soul purpose.

This can be a very reactive time, so be mindful of knee jerk reactions.

Essentially, we are being asked to prepare ourselves for huge changes in our inner & outer lives.

Sun & new Moon conjunct indicates a driving force toward a new beginning.

Moon & Sun Sesquiquadrante Neptune in Aquarius – Sesquiquadrante is a cosmic kick out of your comfort zone. With Sun & Moon in balance in Virgo, Neptune is going to heighten our empathic absorption. We may feel like we are suffering feelings which may not feel as though they belong to us. With this aspect, confusion is ruling us. We may experience identity chaos at this time & clarity is not to be found. Best to not make any big decisions at this time. The Moon will move out of this aspect over the next few days.

Moon & Sun Sextile Mars in Cancer – Action oriented Mars is about to bring a spoonful of confidence & strength. We may find our energy levels rise & want to begin a new sport or do more of the activities we already take part in. Personal relationships & leadership roles are highlighted. This may be because we have communicated our true feelings & taken on the lead role in our relationships, personal life or career.Home improvements are also highlighted

Moon & Sun semi sextile Jupiter in Leo – brings optimism & seeing the silver lining in situations which may have been challenging us. Wisdom, Intelligent communication, flexibility & emotional growth are all highlighted.

Take your time & sit with what arises for you.

That's all for this month's Astro New Moon article. Please join me again on or around Full Moon in Pisces 26 September 2026. Enjoy Equinox wherever you are in the world.

Bless you all. My gratitude for joining me on another New Moon journeying.

In Gratitude, Love, Light & All Betwixt
