Virgo New Moon
The Virgo New Moon on 2nd September 2024 at 9:55 EST (3rd September at 01:55 GMT) could bring a significant time of introspection and new beginnings. Virgo, an Earth sign ruled by Mercury, brings with it themes of a practical, analytical energy that can encourages us to refine our daily routines, focus on our health, and seek perfection in the details of our lives. This new moon is a time to set intentions around these themes, planting seeds for personal growth that will flourish over the coming lunar cycle.
The energy of this Virgo New Moon is particularly potent due to its alignment with two other astrological events.
The day before the new moon Uranus stations retrograde in the sign of Taurus on 1st September, what’s more, we also have Pluto retrograding back into the sign of Capricorn on the same day.
Uranus is the planet of innovation and sudden change, it has been stirring up the status quo in the sign of Taurus, a sign that values stability and security. As Uranus turns retrograde, we are invited to reflect on the changes we’ve been resisting and consider how we can better align with the inevitable shifts in our material world. This period could bring unexpected developments in areas related to finances, possessions, and our relationship with the physical world, urging us to embrace flexibility and adapt to new circumstances.
Pluto’s returns to Capricorn for its final 11 week visit on the 1st September intensifies the transformative energy of this new moon. Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, and rebirth, has been moving through Capricorn since 2008, slowly dismantling outdated structures in our lives and wider society. Could we see the last gasps of old paradigms as we shift collectively into a new world.
Pluto’s brief re-entry into Capricorn from Aquarius signals a final review of the themes it has been working on for the past 16 years, particularly around themes of authority, ambition, and long-term goals. This retrograde motion is a chance to consolidate the lessons we’ve learned and make necessary adjustments before Pluto finally moves fully into Aquarius, where it will remain until March 8, 2043.
All together, these cosmic shifts create a powerful backdrop for the Virgo New Moon, making it an ideal time to focus on practical matters, streamline your life, and create a solid foundation for the future. Combining Virgo’s practical and analytical focus, with the reflective nature of these retrogrades, the energy encourages us to look inward and assess what’s working and be willing to let go of what isn’t. Questions and themes around Whats my vision? What new goals do i wish to achieve? By setting our goals and aligning our intentions, it could be the perfect way to use this grounded, introspective energy to the full. visualising on what we wish to achieve, we can set the stage for meaningful growth and transformation in the months and potentially years ahead.
