This New Moon is Different – Your Guide to the New Moon in Virgo

Virgos have the stereotypes of being overly critical, perfectionists, and just straight-up nit-picky. 

As a fellow Virgo, I can attest that this stereotype is completely untrue! (mostly ) 

However, this new moon in Virgo on August 27th is bringing out some of Virgo’s bad side. However, the energy is still potent and useful to set your intentions for your manifestations.

You’ll want to work with the manifesting grimoire workbook this new moon – it’s looking a little icky and this guide is packed with 50+ pages of pure gold to help you align yourself to your desires. This new moon is all about alignment.

What are new moons anyway?

New moons mark the beginning of a new lunar phase. New moons occur about once a month because it takes the moon a month to orbit around Earth. 

During new moons, the moon, sun, and earth are aligned where the moon’s dark side is completely facing the earth.

Typically in astrology, we use new moons to plant new seeds and set intentions to set the stage for the rest of the lunar cycle. 

The lunar cycle lasts six months from the new moon in one sign, to the next full moon in that same sign.

 In this case, we are starting a new cycle on August 27th (new moon in Virgo) that will be complete by March 7, 2023, (the full moon in Virgo)

Let’s talk about Virgo

Now I know I came for Virgos in the beginning, but Virgo is the earth sign that represents health, routine, service, healing, intuition, and practicality.

 The world would look pretty chaotic without the keen eye and dependability of Virgo. 

In other words, yes we need you Virgo, and yes you are always right – but it’s because the analytical sign scans every aspect of a scenario for the most practical solution. 

It’s their superpower! 

What does this mean for the new moon?

 Virgo is a sign of a strong work ethic that reaps the rewards of its efforts. 

With the moon squaring mars in Gemini (mars representing how we act, passions, aggression), there is an energy of analysis paralysis, conflict, and rushing into things out of impulse without a plan.

Get super clear on your desires, and set those intentions. Use this new moon to reframe your mindset which will help you manifest things in the long run anyway.
