New Moon In Virgo
Get your ducks in a row!
Virgo is known for being organized, detail-oriented, and discerning. Over the next 28 days, you might feel motivated to tidy up your home, sort through clutter, and tackle items on your to-do list that were neglected during the lively Leo phase. Each new moon represents a fresh start, and this one promotes reevaluating old habits to embrace new, relevant changes.
Virgo also represents helping others, so you may notice ways you can support those around you. A helpful strategy for coping with sadness or fear that I was taught years ago, is to focus on others. By thinking of someone you can assist, you shift your attention and can lift your spirits. If your help brings joy to someone else, it can boost your own happiness even further.
During the next 28 days, this approach may be particularly effective. Additionally, Virgo connects with health and wellness, so improving your self-care through better exercise, eating healthy foods, and establishing good sleep habits can enhance your energy and mood, especially in the first two weeks.
The Moon and the Sun will meet at 11° Virgo. The areas that will be most affected in everyone’s natal chart are 8°-14° Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius. A frictional connection between Mercury and Neptune will occur almost a couple of hours after this new moon perfects. This will require us to resolve the conflict between our drive to achieve and our dreams. We may feel discouraged or unmotivated, so it is best to work in solitude on creative projects. Additionally, the new moon will be in wide orb of an opposition with Saturn, which may cause a low-energy vibe due to feeling limited in expression. We will have to work towards overcoming our small and large fears.

Libra
The new moon this month is in your twelfth house, which is associated with spirituality, subconscious drives, memories, and hidden enemies.
