The new moon in Virgo on 3rd September is happening at 2.55am UK time at 11º04’. It forms a wide opposition with Saturn in Pisces. The tightest aspects at the time are the sextile between Pluto and Neptune about which I wrote in July and an almost exact square between Neptune and Mars. Apart from that, we have the ongoing Jupiter-Saturn square (more on that in my new moon in Leo and full moon in Aquarius posts) and a long-term trine between Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn (which will at some point shift to Gemini and Aquarius).
A new moon in Virgo is an opportunity to bring organisation and pull in resources into health, work and your daily routine. It’s a good time to start a new diet or exercise routine and introduce a new daily habit. You might also think of decluttering your space, implementing improvements and getting more organised. Whenever Virgo falls in your chart, you are more attentive to detail and resourceful so the Virgo season is a great time to make some practical steps to introduce improvements in that area.
As this new moon is opposing Saturn, you might encounter resistance from an authority figure. Your ideas might undergo scrutiny or require the approval of your boss or a regulatory institution. Any new beginnings might also come with an increase of responsibility or accountability. A good thing is that Virgo usually thinks of everything.
The tight square between Neptune and Mars might get in the way of the Virgoan efficient energy. It may be difficult for us to assert ourselves at the time of this new moon. We might easily lose our focus, especially that it’s happening in mutable signs. We might find that we lack motivation or lack energy to do something we really wanted to do at this time. As it’s a temporary aspect, its influence will weaken when Mars moves into Cancer two days after this new moon. If you find it challenging to do anything practical around the time of this new moon, don’t fret. Use the day of the new moon for plotting your plan of action. If you lack motivation on that day, focus on self-care or do something Neptunian. You have two weeks to harness the energy of this lunation.
The people most affected by this new moon are those with placements at around 11º of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) or those born in the first days of March, June, September and December. Those most affected by the Mars-Neptune square are those with placements in the final degrees of mutable signs and those born around 19th-20th March, 19th-20th June, 21st-22nd September and 20th-21st December.
Here's the breakdown for all 12 signs. As usual, read your ascendent sign because that will be the most accurate. Remember that this is a general forecast and those placements might be falling in different areas of your natal chart. Click here to find out how astrology works and what it can do for you.
ARIES
This new moon is an opportunity to start something new in the area of your health or daily routine but you may face resistance from someone else or it may feel like a long-term endeavour rather than a quick fix. Your immediate environment might try to discourage you or at least create situations that make it hard to implement any changes. Don’t get discouraged. If you need a break, take it and start to implement your plans from 5th September onwards
TAURUS
This new moon is a time for new beginnings in the area of romance, creativity, passion projects or children but they may not be in line with a long-term objective you might have or your responsibilities towards a group you belong to get in they way so you will have to adapt. It might be more difficult to assert yourself at this time and there might be some lack of certainty around your income or resources. Don’t get too distracted by it though because it’s temporary.
GEMS
Around the time of this new moon, you might want to introduce something new in the area of home, family or living situation but your career or other responsibilities might get in the way. You might have had a lot of energy and drive for the last eight weeks but you might suddenly lack mental and physical energy at this time. That’s fine. You will get your mojo back in a few days.
CANCER
This new moon is an opportunity to start something new in the area of communication, learning and your immediate environment or community but you may realise that the responsibility of any new initiative is greater than you thought or it might not be in line with your belief system. Alternatively, you might have to travel or a legal matter might get in the way. If you get discouraged at this time or lack direction, remember that it’s only temporary.
LEO
This new moon is a time for new beginnings in the area of earned income, values and self-worth but there might be delays or challenges to any new initiatives due to a lack of funding or to do with the resources you share with others. You might have doubts concerning your long-term objectives but don’t worry because they should dissipate in the next few days.
VIRGO
This is your new moon so an opportunity to start something new in any area of your life but you might face some opposition from others, especially those with who you have committed one-one-one relationships with. An issue concerning your career or public image may come up at this time that will cause some confusion but you should gain more clarity over the next few days.
LIBRA
This new moon is behind you so it’s an opportunity to recharge your batteries. You may, however, realise that it’s hard to do because your work, health or day-to-day responsibilities don’t allow you to take a proper step back. There may be some confusion around a legal matter or your travel plans. Alternatively, you might have doubts about your belief system or university studies if applicable. Don’t worry. Try to take as much rest as possible and attend to those things a few days after this new moon.
SCORPIO
This new moon is an opportunity to start something new in the area of friendships, groups you belong to or your long-term objectives but your responsibilities towards your children might get in the way. Alternatively, there may be some creative differences between you and others or whatever your friends want to do might not be quite your thing. There may be some lack of clarity around funds, debt, tax or shared resources but it should disappear over the next few days.
SAG
This new moon is an invitation to start something new in the area of your career and public image but your responsibility towards your home and family might get in the way. Don’t be surprised if your career aspirations make you question your personal or business relationships. Wait a few days before making any decisions.
CAPPY
This new moon might inspire you to pursue higher studies or make travel plans but there may be some challenging communication coming your way or the responsibilities towards your siblings or immediate environment might impose some restrictions on you. Alternatively, a legal matter might face some delays. You might feel drained or lack motivation to do your daily chores at this time but it’s only temporary.
AQUA
This new moon is an opportunity for a new beginning in the area of shared resources, loans or debt but you may face some challenges; for example, you might get less than you thought or the debt that you thought you have repaid may still have an outstanding amount. You may want to splash out on some fun at this time as the summer is coming to an end but you may wonder if you can afford it. It should become clearer two days after this new moon.
PISCES
This new moon may give you an impetus to start something new with the people you have close relationships with (personal and professional) but you might find that their ideas might not necessarily be compatible with yours. You might also have doubts about a home or family matter but it should become clearer in a few days.
