New Moon in Virgo 2025

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!!!

It's time to consider the next lunar event which is the New Moon in Virgo. It will reach peak energy on 22nd August but the energy can be useful for rituals and spellwork the day before and the day after as well as the day the Moon is darkest.

As with all other New Moons, this one occurs while the Sun is in the sign of Virgo and can bring with it a feeling of going "back to school", like there is so much to be done but unsure about where to start.

This New Moon may leave us being more criticial of ourselves, of feeling like we aren't enough. Perfectionism or feeling like everything needs to be that way may leave us constantly swapping, changing, comparing and criticising every action we do.

It may be that the energy of this New Moon in Virgo wants us to spend time truly on our own, but rather than being isolating, this should be viewed as an opportunity for us to put ourselves first for once, for taking care of both our inner and outer wellbeing, and creating space for our own Selves and our healing journeys.

This New Moon isn't a complicated but it may feel that way because we should balance our emotions with the grounded Virgo energy of organising and planning, so it's actually important that we focus our attention on where we want to be. However, we can use our emotions about our present-moment reality as signposts for what needs to change.

So what can we actually do at this New Moon in Virgo? Well, we can be present and use this time to stop, listen, and become grounded, present and real. Consider where we are in our lives and what might need to change to take us towards happiness, wholeness and purpose. Taking note of any discoveries made during this time of slowing down and remembering that it is only by being truly in the present moment and making real changes in real-time that we can make a lasting difference.

Plans are one of the joys of Virgo energy so being methodical and putting goals in place for daily, weekly and/or monthly achievements is a great place to start. Putting routine and structures in place can help us to create a hugely supportive foundation for any new beginnings that need to occur in order to lead us to happiness.

If you've been thinking of going back to school to learn something new, do it. There's a reason why we tend to start back at school at this time of year. This New Moon in Virgo will help us to gain knowledge, wisdom, clarity and belief in any area of our life (or even multiple areas), especially the ones where we have felt uncertain or doubted ourselves in the past.

To make the coming weeks and months a bit easier for us, here's a collective reading about the energy of this New Moon in Virgo and how we can use it to improve our lives moving forward. The deck used is the Moonology Oracle deck by Yasmin Boland.

Where in our lives do we most need to be present?

New Moon in Taurus

"Prosperity lies ahead"

With this card, it feels a little disconnected, almost as if the card doesn't quite answer the question. But this card is a warning to us, showing that while prosperity lies ahead, we shouldn't look too far ahead and lose focus on the present.

The Taurus Bull doesn't look behind or too far ahead but knows where everything and everyone is around him at all times. This is what we need to emulate but without a specific focus.

We can still dream but it's important we don't lose sight of the present while building our castles in the skies.

Which area of our lives most needs organisation and planning?

New Moon in Sagittarius

"Luck is on your side"

This card seems to be saying that we might be relying too much on pure luck and chance in order to achieve our desires.

Sagittarius is all about taking aim, knowing the mundane steps that we need to take in order to achieve our dreams.

Luck is great but we aren't really living our lives to their fullest potential if we only rely on Lady Luck and her bestie, Lady Chance.

So in order to achieve our goals, it's time for a new start with planning the steps that will lead us to our dreams and organising ourselves into putting the plan into action.

How can we communicate this foundation to our support network?

Gibbous Moon

"You're very close to achieving your goal"

Communication has a myriad of forms, from verbal to written to behavioural. Honestly, whichever form of communication each of us prefers is the right one to use. So if you feel happier about writing things out and sending a group text, email or letter, that is what you should do. If you prefer making a speech, do it.

What is important about communicating with our support network is that we are clear, open and honest about what we need from them, the form of support that we are asking of them. Perhaps we should be specific about the support we are asking for.

What will help us to learn a grounded kind of self-confidence?

New Moon in Libra

"A new romantic cycle begins"

Libra is all about balance so balancing who we were with who we are and who we want to be is, what others think is best for us and what we want to achieve.

Being balanced is also part of being grounded: releasing stagnant or stale energy to Mother Earth to be transmuted into energy that we can later receive as pure and clean energy to be used as we wish.

Self-confidence comes from within, much like being grounded does. But self-confidence is being grounded within our own selves, balancing every part of us.

It seems as if this New Moon in Virgo has a lot going for us if we will only listen and pay attention to the messages we are being shown: that we need to live in the present moment more instead of looking too far into the future, to plan and organise our next steps rather than trust to luck and chance, to communicate what we need from our support systems rather than staying quiet, and finally that we ground ourselves within to discover a balanced kind of self-confidence.

I hope this has been informative and that this New Moon is no longer as confusing or complicated as it might have appeared to be. If you'd like a more personal look at the energies of this lunar event, my inbox and diary are open.

Peace and love to all!!!!
