New Moon in Virgo - September 2024

A Clean Slate

The New Moon occurs at 02:55 (BST) on September 3, 2024. The Moon and Sun will be at 11VIR04.

Virgo’s skill is discrimination. She knows what’s what and what belongs where. Ruled by Mercury and an Earth sign, she prefers to engage her mind to find practical solutions to problems. Virgo’s pleasure is to serve, to offer a helping hand to everyone and anyone who needs it. In the Tarot, this sign is connected to the Hermit who is on the path to enlightenment (remember Pisces is Virgo’s opposite sign). Virgo is the disciple who learns from the Master. Whether Virgo is an artist, student or priest in training, she allows herself to be shaped and moulded by those who have walked the path ahead of her. As a mutable sign she is flexible. Her humility is her strength, knowing that there are things she doesn’t yet know. Virgo takes pride in learning the process and in perfecting her skills. Virgo as Virgin embraces the concept of purification within and without. Healing is Virgo’s gift.

Look to the house where the New Moon occurs in your chart. This is the area of life that needs Virgo’s powers of analysis to fix what isn’t working. It may be where you need to be humble, to commit with studious devotion and where you need to eliminate what isn’t necessary so that you can concentrate on the important details. Cleanse and purify but resist any urge to be overly critical of your performance. This is a new beginning. Wipe the slate clean.
