Welcome to Virgo Season, where the New Moon falls in the constellation of the sharp-eyed maiden. Virgo is an earth sign representing work, health, and service. Virgo Season coincides with harvest time, returning to school, and the earth turning her face towards autumn. It’s always an incredibly busy and exciting time of year.

New moons are new beginnings. Silhouetted by the waning summer sun, the New Moon in Virgo calls us back to purpose. Virgo keeps us crisp and alert, safeguarded from fantasy, deception, or distraction. Here we’re thinking about work and our most honest feelings about our work.

This is a good time to make lists, organize, and prepare, prepare, prepare. It’s a good time to do anything that needs to be done, really. Virgo is focused and productive. Yes, there will also be anxiety and perfectionism to contend with, so don’t forget to sleep, nourish your body, and recharge. This is the magical paradox to working with Virgo: the more we rest and recharge, the more effective we will be.

What we get to focus on: health & wellness; managing our time/energy wisely; maintaining an environment that is productive yet not anxiety-inducing; valuing our own and others’ contributions; updating & refreshing; preparing for big changes.

Turn your head toward the farmer rising with the sun. Pick up your tools and follow her to the vines, heavy now with violet globes.

Heads up: the moon forms a loose opposition to Saturn Retrograde in Pisces, putting strain on any plans that we try to make. Additionally this new moon coincides with a sharp square between Mars in Gemini and Neptune Retrograde in Pisces. Our health may not be optimal at this time but best case scenario we can release some anger and work through emotional weirdness, i.e. catharsis and deep rest.

Though it will be an insanely busy time, you can stay centered by exercising and/or meditating each morning. The Virgo power flower is morning glory. Power up with verdant gemstones like amazonite, jasper, magnetite, or moss agate. Wear green/earth tones. Virgo rules the digestive system and sympathetic nervous system. Power up your gut with fennel, caraway, and mint, as well as seasonal fruits. Calm the mind with deep belly breathing and Virgo Yoga. In meditation, focus on the throat chakra. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
