September’s New Moon in Virgo promises new beginnings with a practical twist. Governed by Mercury and positioned opposite Saturn, this lunation is a time to set intentions, not just in your head or pinned to a mood board, but in the real world where action meets aspiration.
Virgo’s influence is all about detail and translating your ideas into actionable steps. So, if you’ve been mulling over a new project, relationship or lifestyle change, this New Moon is your signal to start laying down a solid plan. Say you want to switch up your career path; now’s the time to update your LinkedIn profile, reach out to contacts, or enroll in that certification course. Or perhaps you’re looking to adopt a healthier lifestyle; start by organising your pantry, meal prepping for the week ahead, or scheduling regular workouts.
The presence of Saturn opposite this New Moon keeps things real. It emphasises the value of patience and the importance of meticulous planning. Still, obstacles are likely to arise, testing your dedication. Saturn reminds you that meaningful achievements often require pushing past barriers and stretching your limits.
Saturn’s influence also touches on themes of commitment and necessary endings. This might be the time to replace procrastination with structured planning or shift your squad to include more cheerleaders and fewer critics.
Looking ahead, the next New Moon will be an eclipse—and eclipses are notoriously unpredictable. So, this adds urgency to your actions now. Establishing a solid foundation under the Virgo New Moon ensures you’re prepared, no matter what twists and turns the eclipse might bring.
So, let this New Moon be your cosmic cue to manifest your intentions through concrete actions. Whether it’s decluttering your workspace to boost productivity, setting clear, actionable goals for personal development, or addressing feelings of disconnect in your relationship by showing up ready to make genuine changes, now is the time to bridge the gap between what you wish for and what you’re willing to work for. Delve into the details, tackle the challenges, and watch as your intentions take root in the real world.
