A New Moon in Virgo arrives on August 22nd. And what makes this special is that this will be the first of two New Moons in Virgo. The second one is September 21st which is also an eclipse.
What came to mind for me is that Virgo energy helps reorganize, and fine tune my health routines. Every time the moon is in Virgo I am called to create a to do list of almost everything.
My natal Mars placement is in Virgo, and I tend to also display the perfectionism that Virgo energy brings out. I often get burnt out at work over projects and instead of asking for help, I will do it myself. And then the burnout tends to affect my mental health and I often feel disconnected from my spirit.
So with this new moon also on the start of Virgo season it is providing us opportunities to reorganize. Taking a look at our health routines, and daily habits and even reorganizing the mental chaos a lot of us might be feeling.
I am definitely in a place where energetically I need a redo. I appreciate you for supporting this Substack as I know lately I have not been consistent and I have definitely been having a pity party about it.
I am taking this opportunity on the New moon to set intentions on attracting ways to reduce the clutter of my mind and reorganize my ideas I have not tended to. I want to make lists on things that bring me joy and pick a couple that I can make a small commitment to doing regularly. I also want to set some new intentions for what I write here on the newsletter. I am excited about this as I feel called to get my creative juices going again.
So with this new moon reorganize those lists, those routines and daily habits. Set new intentions in the way you feel called. Let’s let go of perfectionism, overworking ourselves and embrace new and better ways to comfort our spirits.
Read on below for a special new moon message for your moon sign. The better we nourish our emotional needs that are represented by our moon sign the better we feel in mind, body and spirit.
Happy New Moon!
Earth Moons 🌟
Taurus Moon ♉️: The message for you is set those boundaries. Who or what needs to be either removed from your space? Sometimes even setting clear boundaries with those we care about can be difficult. But with this new moon, set the intention to make space for what you need and why. And then look to see where boundaries can be applied to anyone or things that could be an obstacle. Being an earth sign, this energy is very grounding and you will be supported.
Capricorn Moon ♑️: This is a perfect new moon for you to cleanse your mind and space of all remaining stagnant energy. This will provide you with clear thoughts to reorganize some things. To see the little details you have missed and what you can change. Even one small change to do your list or routine can make a big difference!
Virgo Moon ♍️: This new moon is special and will most felt by you since it is in your sign and we entering Virgo season. This is a time where you may or may not feel a transformation occurring. If you are tired mentally and physically and trying to keep up with your day to day duties, you might feel called to shift some things. Circumstances that we wish to have can never be perfect. Overthinking can also prevent us from taking time to clear our minds. The message for you is to use this new moon energy to celebrate where you are. Be open to any nudges to new things, new habits or ideas.
Water Moons 🌙
Cancer Moon ♋️: Trust, loyalty and meaningful relationships may be a theme for you this new moon. Use this time to check in with your values and who in your life matches with them. Because Virgos like creating lists, use the new moon energy and write a list of your values. Then a list of all those close to you. See what comes up for you and what you feel in your body. That intuitive feeling you may have about a person is often right.
Pisces Moon ♓️: Your intuition is going to be on point and sending all the signs this new moon and even more so in September when eclipse season begins. I would keep a notebook handy for any intuitive downloads or dreams that come up. There may be some auspicious opportunities that may cross your path. So be sure to keep up your self care routine if you have one. Taking some time near or in water will be a good way for cleansing and connecting to your intuition.
Scorpio Moon ♏️: The message for you is communicate. Where have you been holding your tongue and with whom? Yes there can be a time and a place where it is better to not say anything or walk away but this is not that time. You have the strength and power to speak on your feelings. On this new moon take some time out to write out the things you have trouble speaking. Then read them aloud a few times and set the intention that communication for you comes with ease.
Fire Moons ⭐️
Aries Moon ♈️: This new moon calls you to seek out ways to clear your mind. Your mind needs some healing so you do not feel emotional overload. If it feels chaotic, this moon energy will give you support in getting what is in there out. Can you take out ten minutes a day where mindful meditation, a walk or something you can do to not think? Set the intention to bring you some creative ways to heal your mind.
Leo Moon ♌️: The past is the past. We can always take something from an uncomfortable situation. But the key is to not stay there. It will be helpful with the grounding energy of this new moon to help you stay present. Think in the present, and make space for the future. One good way to close that door is to look at what it taught you, give it gratitude and make peace with it. It is time for you to put the spotlight back on you, your needs and your space.
Sagittarius Moon ♐️: The message for you is yes, green light go, and go for it! Whatever that means to you. Whether it be something you have been contemplating or second guessing, this is the time to say yes. A new moon is always a good time to start something new. And with the Virgo energy you may feel the pull to just go after it. If it helps, write it out what things would like and how you would feel when this new thing were to manifest. Stay in that good feeling for a while and visualize. The more you do that, the universe gets your signal to roll out each step in getting you there.
Air Moons 💫
Aquarius Moon ♒️: Acceptance is the theme for your message. Made a mistake recently? Have you been dissecting the scenario piece by piece? The answer might not be a clear one as to why. So flip the script and ask yourself instead, what did you learn? Is it a new perspective? Maybe an opportunity to change something? Acceptance provides a little shift in embracing some curiosity. So take some time this new moon to think about what this experience taught you and what intentions can you set to shift your perspective and be open to receiving some new ideas.
Gemini Moon ♊️: What you think, you attract. The message for you is to keep your thoughts positive. With this new moon set those intentions on what you want to attract. Write it out and read it everyday during Virgo season. This is a new beginning for you so make sure you are spending time doing the things that make you feel good and saying no to the things that don't.
Libra Moon ♎️: The message here is to ask for the support. Are you handling all of your burdens and challenges on your own? We all could use help and support to relieve the heavy burdens we carry. Sometimes all it takes is acknowledging what it is that we are carrying. Where in your life do you need support? Set some intentions for this new moon for seeking support. And watch for the intuitive nudges you get when the moon starts waxing. There may be a person or spiritual help coming for you once you ask for it.
