New Moon in Virgo | Friday, August 22, 2025 at 11:06pm PT

"Welcome to one of the most extraordinary Virgo seasons we've experienced in years. This season arrives with a rare gift—two New Moons in the same sign, with the second bringing us a partial solar eclipse on September 21st. This marks a pivotal moment as we experience our first solar eclipse on the Pisces-Virgo axis, with the North Node now in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo.

This alignment creates a powerful portal for healing our deepest wounds around worthiness and stepping fully into the gifts we came here to share. As we move from Leo into Virgo, we enter a season that asks us to finally, truly understand this: You are already good enough. Not tomorrow. Not when you fix that thing about yourself. Not when you achieve that goal. Right now, exactly as you are, with every perceived flaw and imperfection, you are worthy of taking up space in this world. The universe has been waiting for what only you can offer, and it needs you to stop hiding behind the excuse of not being ready.

This Virgo season is unlike any other because it gives us a full month to practice a new way of being. The first New Moon on August 22nd cracks open the door to healing old stories about our worth. Then the solar eclipse on September 21st blows that door wide open, offering us the chance to step through and claim our power once and for all. Between these two powerful moments, we have time to experiment with what happens when we stop apologizing for who we are and start celebrating it instead."

"The New Moon in Virgo on August 22 arrives at that tender turning point when summer begins to lean into another kind of light. The heat is no longer a blaze, but a breath slowly retreating, making room for the subtle air of change.

Virgo, a mutable earth sign, invites us to look closely at what we have gathered so far and to gently separate what nourishes from what weighs us down. This is not a cold act of detachment, but a gesture of love toward the future: choosing what to carry forward and what to release.

This Moon speaks of precision and service, of order not as a prison but as an architecture for freedom. Every intention planted now is a fine thread patiently weaving the fabric of the next season, its secret lies not in speed, but in constancy. It is a time to purify, to recenter, to prepare for the passage ahead.

The New Moon in Virgo also represents the symbolic meeting between the planet that rules the sign – Mercury – and the Moon. Here, what comes together and merges are the symbols of the word (Mercury) and of feeling (the Moon). It follows naturally that the main energy of this lunar phase draws us toward expression. Mercury, the planet of communication, urges us to rationalize the irrational, but also to make room for what cannot be confined to logic alone, the murmurs of intuition, the textures of emotion, the unspoken truths that surface in silence.

This lunation asks for a dialogue between mind and heart, not as opposing forces, but as co-authors of the same narrative. It is a time to translate emotions into words that heal, to give shape to thoughts that have remained shapeless, and to listen to the subtle ways the body and soul speak when reason is willing to pause. In Virgo’s hands, language becomes a tool for precision and care, not a weapon; a means to clarify, refine, and ultimately, to serve what is essential."

"Virgo is on point. Stays up all night until it gets to the point. Drives itself to the point of exhaustion in order to make sure it has the correct point. Virgo studies, investigates and analyzes. Virgo works. Hard. Virgo gets it right. Virgo doesn’t want to get off easy. Virgo wants the satisfaction of knowing it has done a good job. Virgo likes to sweat and hustle but it seeks no praise or public approval for its performance. In fact Virgo can have a certain amount of disdain for personalities that do.

Virgo initiates us into the wisdom of nature. Nature needs no crowd-sourcing to come up with the cash to fund a forest. Nature is the source of abundant healing that we humans so often forget about. Perhaps this is why Virgo loves to be ritualistic about its business. Some may call this compulsive. Some may even call this obsessive but when done consciously, habits become rituals that soothe the savage beast in us all. Rituals can be a gateway for the natural world to enter. Virgo trusts this natural order and knows that if we rely on it more often than not everything sorts itself out. And Virgo loves to sort. Virgo loves to synchronize itself with the cycles around it so that it feels sorted by something larger than itself.

We need ritual both on the personal and collective levels. Political organizing can be a ritual. Prayer can be a ritual. Taking food to someone who needs it can be a ritual. Making love to your partner should be a ritual. Community gardening can be a ritual. Protesting can be a ritual response to oppression and outrage and stopping to smell the flowers can also be a ritualistic way to step out of corporate greed and back into human skin."

"Virgo holds strong energy that supports getting organized and feeling grounded. It is also connected to our health and well-being. Represented by the Virgin, Virgo energy is about accessing that inner wisdom from within. The Virgin is a symbol for not needing anyone outside of yourself for guidance. The virgin is whole and complete in herself, and knows that the most important relationship she will ever have is the one with herself.

Turning to the wisdom of the Virgin Goddess will be our guide under this New Moon and as we navigate the waves of Eclipse Season. In her essence, she is encouraging us to get grounded and to return to ourselves. She wants us to nourish and trust ourselves so we can listen to the voice of inner wisdom that lives within us. This voice of inner wisdom is our compass, our intuition, and our knowing about what is right for us. It is connected to our heart, mind, body, and soul, and can reveal to us all that we need to know.

How can you turn to this inner well of wisdom that flows within? How can you find your grounded peace and access the inner voice that knows the way? How can you trust that the way will be revealed in all divine timing?

Paying attention to our wellbeing, feeling organized, and creating a sense of structure will all help with this."

Intention Planting: Virgo New Moon Ritual

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”

~Lao Zi

With the powerful influence of this Virgo New Moon, take some time to harness your focus into planting your intentions for the rest of the week, month, or year.

1. Prepare Your Space

• Clear off a small surface (desk, altar, floor space).
• Place a candle, a bowl of fresh herbs (rosemary, sage, basil, or chamomile), and paper + pen.
• Optional: have a small jar/pouch OR plan to bury your offering in the earth.

Light your candle and say:
“I call in clarity, healing, and alignment under this Virgo New Moon.”

2. Grounding Breath

• Sit with both feet on the ground.
• Inhale for 4 counts, imagining roots extending from your body into the earth.
• Exhale for 6 counts, releasing self-criticism and cluttered thoughts.
• Repeat 3–5 rounds, until you feel steady and centered.

3. Journaling & Intention Mapping

Use these prompts to open your writing:

• Where am I craving more clarity and order in my life?
• What habits, routines, or small steps would truly support my wellbeing right now?
• Where can I soften perfectionism and allow compassion?

After reflection, distill your answers into 3–5 clear, actionable intentions. Write each one on a small strip of paper (or all together on one sheet).

4. Herbal/Earth Offering

• Take your written intentions and fold the paper.
• Hold the herbs in your hands, breathe into them, and speak your intentions aloud.
• Wrap or place your paper with the herbs in a small jar, pouch, or bundle.

Say:
“With these herbs, I seed my intentions into the earth. May they grow with clarity, harmony, and ease.”

If possible:

• Option 1: Bury the bundle in the earth (garden, potted plant, or natural ground).
• Option 2: Keep it on your altar or windowsill until the Full Moon, then return it to the earth.

5. Seal the Intention

Hold your hands over your heart and say:
“I align with my highest vision. I walk forward with clarity, grounded in earth, guided by intention.”

Blow out the candle with gratitude.
