The New Moon connects with the Sun as it enters the sign of Virgo on the 23rd of Aug (the Sun moves into Virgo 22/8/2025 @ 22.34 Cape Town time to be exact).
Virgo energy tends to focus on the finer details, and the newness of the Virgo Sun feels apt to start our intentions right at the start of Virgo season.
This year has felt rather chaotic on many levels – I like to say it is the blur of the real and the surreal energies of Neptune and Saturn zigzagging between the last sign of Pisces and the first sign of Aries making us focus on the dream, but also the practicalities of support and foundations, and this New Moon in Virgo can be a great time to set some clear intentions to create some inner order for you to work with and stay centered with your needs along the way.
Uranus moved into Gemini in July, exploring new territory of communication, information, and ways to network. It turns retrograde early next month, so log all the new information that is coming through now, as this may be seeds for further growth and opportunity next year when Uranus will move back into Gemini for the long run from the end of April 2026.
Saturn moves back into Pisces on the 1st of September until mid-February 2026, which can be a time to release old patterns, habits, and stories that no longer serve you. In fact, this Virgo New Moon can be a great time to do that inner spring clean, whether it is starting a new exercise regime, a detox, or any clearing and purifying of space, be it a literal room, your computer, phone, body, or mind.
Mercury is direct now after being retrograde for most of the Leo season, so now is the time to forge ahead with some of the ideas you are working on.
