11° Virgo 3'
6:55 PM PDT / 9:55 PM EDT

September 2, 2024 — A Virgo New Moon arrives on Monday, falling opposite Saturn while squaring Jupiter. This lights up an ongoing square that signifies major cultural and personal shifts. This New Moon is asking us, “Is this still what we want?” It’s time to rethink our agreements and commitments as we begin again with clean slates.

We’re also asking ourselves if we’re still aligned with our values—What work is necessary to adjust course and attain our ideals?

As Mercury awakens from its retrograde, we’re slowly making progress after a period of tension, misunderstandings, and miscommunications. We are clarifying our thoughts and words while making moves to better care for ourselves and each other.

Our path forward may still feel unclear since Mars is squaring Neptune in the background. But now, we are at least reeling in our day-to-day lives, doing what we can to establish greater sanity and gentleness for our ourselves and our relationships. Over the next two months, it’s essential to eat right, exercise, meditate, rest well, and tend to the mundane details of our lives. This way, we can feel anchored as we undergo the significant shifts that are available to us now.

It’s important to note that this lunation opens the eclipse portal—A lunar eclipse arrives in two weeks, a solar eclipse two weeks after that. Time and space may begin to feel like they’re warping as our karma bubbles over. Eclipse season magnifies ongoing issues, triggering auspicious coincidences, revelations of truth, and feelings of surreality. More intensity is on the horizon as the planets push us to reckon with old wounds and align with our highest potentials. We can take advantage of today’s Virgo New Moon, laying healthy frameworks and constraints in preparation for what’s to come.

VIRGO New Moon Aspiration

On this Virgo New Moon, may we take this opportunity to calm down and touch earth. May we have clear understandings and determine all that we need to feel healthy and sane in our daily lives as we prepare for disruptive and miraculous shifts.
