🌾  What Can You Expect from the New Moon in Virgo 2025?

New moons represent the chance for a new cycle or chapter to begin. Since this is the start of something new, a new moon is an opportune time for manifesting and setting intentions. Whatever intentions, manifestations, and wishes you cast on the new moon may come to fruition over the next six months.

You may feel called to manifest or set intention around the following themes: health, wellness, work, routine, pets, boundaries, service, and anxiety. Regardless of what you manifest, you can count on this being a productive lunar cycle. Know that whatever you choose to focus on may come to fruition throughout the next six months.

💫   What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the New Moon in Virgo 2025

This new moon is different, since it's known as a “black moon”. Black moons are an unlikely astrological phenomenon that happens roughly every 29 months.  Although not rare, black moons are still impactful when they do occur. A black moon only coincides with a new moon, and can only happen when there’s either a second full moon in a month or a third new moon in a season. In this case, this particular black moon—a.k.a. the new moon in Virgo on August 23—is the third new moon in a season. Pay attention to what comes up during this new moon in Virgo, because the same themes, manifestations, desires, and more will come up again during the new moon partial solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21.

Aside from being a black moon, the new moon in Virgo will also occur at 0 degrees. In astrology, 0 degrees is considered to be one of the critical degrees. Critical degrees occur when a planet is either at the very beginning (0 degrees) or very end (29 degrees) of a zodiac sign. This new moon in Virgo represents a true beginning, since 0 degrees suggests purity. The new moon is undiluted, suggesting that there is endless potential for whatever you want to manifest, start, or act on. You may feel stronger and more hopeful, because 0 degrees inspires a fresh start. Go into the new moon in Virgo with the mindset that anything can happen.

Aside from this, the cosmic forecast isn’t as turbulent or jam-packed as previous forecasts. For the most part, the other planets and heavenly bodies don’t make any exact contacts with one another. However, please note that Saturn retrograde in Aries, Neptune retrograde in Aries, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius are ongoing during the lunation.

🌑  Tips & Tricks to Create Your New Moon in Virgo Ritual

The new moon in Virgo can be honored through various practices, rituals, and offerings. In particular, you may want to consider doing rituals aligned with Virgo. Align your lunar magick with Virgo’ correspondences, symbols, and more to amplify your new moon ritual.

Since Virgo is a mutable earth, this would be the perfect new moon to incorporate the earth element into your lunar ritual. One way to make the most of the mutable earth energy is by using clay or mud. Clay can be used to create something representative of your desires, like shaping a little clay figure to represent your soulmate or another symbol to signify your lunar manifestations. Mud can be used in your lunar ritual, or put in a vessel on your altar. But if you don’t want to get messy, earth can also be represented by its alchemical symbol, 🜃, in your spellwork.

Virgo’s energy can also be invoked through tarot cards, animals, and deities. The Hermit and The Magician both signify Virgo; the Hermit being the tarot card for this earth sign and the Magician representing Mercury, Virgo’s ruling planet. Both cards can add energetic significance to your lunar rituals, altar, or spells. Aside from tarot cards, you may feel called to honor Virgo through animals. However, Virgo’s astrological symbol doesn’t correlate with a specific animal, such as Aries with the rams or Cancer with the crab. Virgo is known as “the virgin” or “the maiden”, so you could honor Virgo with feminine symbols. If you wish to get creative, Virgo can also be represented as a bird, wheat, and a winged woman. However, any trickster prey animal may do, such as a rabbit. No matter how you signify Virgo, this zodiac sign’s energy may call upon the following deities: Mercury/Hermes, Demeter/Ceres, Dike/Dice, Persephone, Diana/Artemis, Seshat, Isis, Astraea, and Athena. 

Additionally, you may feel called to work with herbs, crystals, and colors associated with Virgo. Call upon the powers of chamomile, dill, and fennel; align your spellwork with Virgo’s corresponding colors, white and green; amplify your lunar ritual with Moss Agate, Howlite, and Amethyst.
