New Moon in Virgo – August 23, 2025

Get ready for magick as the first of two New Moons in Virgo this year arrives! On August 23rd, the Moon enters Virgo at 0°, something we haven’t seen since August 23, 2006. When a planet, or in this case, the Moon, sits at 0°, it expresses the purest, most potent energy of that sign. Translation? We’re stepping into some Big Virgo Energy this month.

New Moons always usher in fresh starts, but this one is especially potent. With two Virgo New Moons on the calendar and the first beginning right at the very start of the sign, it feels like a cosmic reset button has been pressed. Expect to reevaluate your routines, refine your habits, and maybe even reorganize every corner of your life, because Virgo is, after all, the Zodiac’s master organizer.

Adding to the mix, the Moon squares Uranus this month. Uranus, planet of innovation, revolution, and sudden change, never does things slowly. If you’ve been putting off a shift or sensing change on the horizon, this is your green light to get to it. Expect change to happen quickly, potentially paired with a powerful spiritual awakening.

Luckily, Virgo’s mutable nature brings flexibility, allowing you to ride these waves with a sense of steadiness. The truth is, you’ll likely be the one initiating the change yourself.

If you have significant placements in Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius, you’ll feel these shifts most strongly. For Virgo and Pisces, it’s a major reset. For Gemini and Sagittarius, the mutable flow will feel energizing and expansive.

Even if Virgo isn’t prominent in your chart, this New Moon still grounds us all in clarity and emotional order. You may feel more rational and steady as changes unfold. Just remember: Virgo’s love of organization can tip into obsession. Don’t chase perfection too far down the rabbit hole. Some things are better left in the Universe’s hands to sort out on your behalf.

Be sure to journal before, during, and after this New Moon. You will be large and in charge of your life in a new, powerful way this season, and you’ll want to document your wins and magick.

Here’s Your New Moon in Virgo Horoscope

Aries: It’s time to slow down! You’re used to running at a breakneck speed, but the Virgo energy with this New Moon is asking you to slow down enough to pay attention to how you’re using your energy. Yes, you can always just power through things, but what if you used your energy more effectively? Now’s your chance to get organized and focus your energy where it’s most powerful.

Taurus: This month, you’re being asked to reassess how you spend your time and creativity. Set intentions around allowing enough time for your passions and creative pursuits in your calendar. You may feel the temptation to drop everything you’ve been doing for something more impulsive thanks to Uranus, but you’ll be happier sticking to your grounded Taurus vibes when things feel out of control.

Gemini: It’s time to turn your attention to your home life. What are the daily routines that support you? What about the habits that no longer serve? Use the New Moon’s energy to help you reorganize your routines and patterns. Have the difficult conversations you’ve been putting off at home, and the rest of your life will thrive.

Cancer: What words and phrases have you been using to talk to yourself? It’s time to reset any deprecating phrases that have sneaked their way into your language lately. Set intentions around loving yourself more. It goes beyond a good self-care routine; you can be your toughest critic. It’s time to treat yourself like you treat your beloved people.

Leo: Set some healthy boundaries around your spending. This is your invitation to kick the overspending habit if you have one. Virgo is also asking you to invest in yourself, both financially and spiritually. Get serious about your money budget and energy budget. It’s time to stop wasting energy on seeking validation outside yourself.

Virgo: You are the superstar of the season, Virgo! Get ready for major clarity around your habits, goals, and personal growth. It’s going to become incredibly obvious what’s working and what’s draining all your energy. Be ruthless with your boundaries this season and cut out the energy vampires.

Libra: This New Moon offers a chance for deep exploration of your habits and shadows. To avoid conflict and maintain balance, you may have been suppressing some important feelings about a situation. Those emotions will likely surface around the New Moon, so watch out!

Scorpio: It’s a great time to get involved in your community with the goal of creating healthy friendships. It’s also a great time for reflecting on who you are within the larger context of your community. Set intentions to give as much as you receive to the important people in your life.

Sagittarius: It’s time for your close-up, Sagittarius! Your career zone is highlighted under this New Moon, and it’s time to firm up some boundaries at work. You’re also being invited to lean into your adventurous side in your career. Say yes to something outside your comfort zone and stretch yourself toward a goal you’ve recently been presented with.

Capricorn: You’ll feel a deep urge to ask challenging questions and rebel against the status quo during this New Moon. It’s also prime time to set intentions around self-exploration and how you’re spending your energy. Get curious about what you’re noticing these days, as Uranus will shake up your perceptions around how society works.

Aquarius: Virgo’s energy will challenge you to reassess the relationship between control and surrender in your life, especially around shared resources, partnerships, and your emotions. How do your relationships contribute to your happiness? Allow yourself to open up to those closest to you and accept an invitation to dance in the moonlight with a friend.

Pisces: With this powerful New Moon in your sister sign, you’re going to realize which relationships are out of balance in your life. Friends, business partners, romantic partners, and any relationship that’s been taking more than it’s been giving you will come into the spotlight of this lunation. It’s time to protect your peace and let those people go.

Happy New Moon, witches!
