Introduction

As we approach the New Moon in Virgo on September 2nd, 2024, we’re given an opportunity to pause and realign our intentions. Virgo’s grounding energy encourages us to reflect on our healing journey, health, and personal transformation. With powerful astrological transits at play—like the square to Jupiter, the opposition to Saturn, and Pluto’s final return to Capricorn—this New Moon brings forth challenging yet necessary energies to guide us toward continued growth and soul evolution.

The Energy of the New Moon in Virgo

Virgo is an Earth sign associated with things like organization, healing, and attention to detail. This New Moon in Virgo provides a space for us to set clear intentions that align with our self-improvement, health, and spiritual growth. This is a perfect time to start new healthy habits and make positive changes in our daily routines.

Moon Squaring Jupiter

At the time of the New Moon, it is squaring Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter’s transit in Gemini has been encouraging us to expand our perspectives and embrace new ideas. While this energy has been beneficial for many of us, it can also bring a sense of confusion and overwhelm as we attempt to juggle many things at once. This square with Virgo may help to ground our desire for expansion with practicality. We have the opportunity to use Virgo’s attention to detail and analytical nature to give us clarity on some of the things we’ve been exploring.

Moon Opposing Saturn

The New Moon in Virgo is opposing Saturn in Pisces. Be aware of old unhealthy patterns that may be rising to the surface around the time of this New Moon. We are in living in a time of major transitions and karmic endings and there are still things we need to clear out. As these old patterns come up, let them be without judgement. Simply acknowledge that there are things we still need to work on and gently release them. Virgo can be quite self-critical, so it’s important that we remain kind to ourselves during this period.

Pluto Revisiting Capricorn

The day before this New Moon, Pluto starts it’s short two-month journey back into Capricorn for the last time before moving into Aquarius for the next 20 years. We are in a critical stage of death and rebirth regarding Capricorn themes in our lives. These themes could be around our relationship with authority, traditions, or outdated social constructs. We have been going through a transformation regarding these topics since 2008, and the next 2 months are for Pluto to add finishing touches.

The energy of this transit is highly activated at the time of this New Moon. We can use this energy to reflect on what has changed for us over the past 16 years, consider what final changes need to be made and what else can we release as we enter a new era of our lives.

Conclusion

As we move through this New Moon in Virgo, we are given an opportunity to ground ourselves, clear out old patterns, and embrace the transformations that have been unfolding over the years. By setting intentions aligned with our personal growth and being mindful of the astrological challenges, we can navigate this period with clarity and purpose. Always remember to be gentle with yourself as you release what no longer serves you and let your heart be open to the new chapter that awaits.
