New Moon in Virgo – August 23, 2025

The New Moon in Virgo kicks off a new cycle focused on getting real about your day-to-day life. Virgo wants to help you clean things up, get back on track, and cut out what’s not working.
 
Virgo energy can be subtle, yet grounded, and it can inspire the energy for positive changes like adjusting your schedule, simplifying your week, or evolving your routines. This is the time to build something sustainable. Clean up your priorities, set stronger boundaries, and better create systems that actually support you.
 
This New Moon also sets the tone for the upcoming eclipse cycle in Pisces and Virgo. While the Pisces New Moon back in March activated the nodes, this one plants the seeds that will be stirred up by the Pisces lunar eclipse on September 7, as it officially begins the new cycle, but what you initiate now - especially around structure, healing, or boundaries—has ripple effects that stretch into 2026.
 
We're still in the early stages of this Pisces–Virgo Nodal transit. The March Pisces New Moon conjoined the North Node, beginning the energetic shift. Now, with this Virgo New Moon, we’re being pushed to balance that emotional, intuitive Pisces pull with something more tangible and clear. It’s time to focus, get organized, and take steps that move you from wishful thinking into real-life alignment.

What’s in store for your Sign?
Read for your Sun, Moon, and/or Rising.

Aries Rising
The New Moon lands in your 6th house, putting your daily routines and physical health under a microscope. If you’ve been feeling restless, then use this time to build structure or routine around what supports you - sleep, food, exercise, self-care. New work habits may also come up, especially how you approach productivity and avoid burnout. It’s time to clean up what’s draining you and align your daily habits with that future version of yourself you keep manifesting.
 
Taurus Rising
The New Moon activates your 5th house, urging you to bring joy back into your life - not forced, but real, embodied joy. Perhaps you have been holding back your creativity or neglecting yourself the “permission” to enjoy yourself. You might be dating, meeting new people who inspire your inner child, or themes concerning children and parenting arise during this time. The focus is on cultivating self-care and self-appreciation.
 
Gemini Rising
Your inner world is the focus now, as the New Moon in your 4th house asks you to make peace with your past and make necessary adjustments in your current home or family environment. Whether it's a physical space that needs decluttering or an emotional boundary that needs reinforcing, this is a time for re-grounding. Don’t ignore the patterns you’ve inherited or repeated so to protect yourself when you needed to, look at them clearly, and decide what gets to stay in these new chapters.
 
Cancer Rising
The New Moon in your 3rd house asks you to speak more intentionally - especially to yourself. If you’ve been overthinking, speaking on others to avoid your own patterns, or also biting your tongue to avoid conflict, pay attention. Clear, honest communication will lead towards less self-sabotage, and more positive results. Themes concerning neighbors, your siblings, or local travel may also arise. This is a time to speak your truth – say what’s on your mind – and watch the tables turn in your favor.
 
Leo Rising
The New Moon is activating your relationship with your sense of worth – financial and emotional. If you've been undervaluing yourself or compromising to stay secure, it's time to reevaluate. Money matters may be highlighted, but so is your internal narrative about deserving, receiving, and holding onto what you earn. Create a new budget, raise your standards, or finally implement that plan you've been sitting on – it’s time to get proactive. Treat your time and energy like currency, it’s time to spend wisely.
 
Virgo Rising
This is your New Moon, and it offers the undertones for a full energetic reset. You're not who you were six months ago - and it’s time to stop living like it. This is about reclaiming your direction, your self and public-image, and your habits. Consider what needs to shift so your outside reflects who you’ve become internally. You’re being asked to show up differently - not for others, but for yourself. Small adjustments now can lead to major personal clarity and a stronger sense of confidence by the end of the year.
 
Libra Rising
The New Moon pulls you inward as it transits in your 12th house, the space of endings, hidden truths, and spiritual realignment. If you’ve been avoiding rest, bypassing your intuition, or staying stuck in emotional patterns, then consider this New Moon the perfect time to slow down, detox, and tune into what’s really been influencing behind the scenes. It may not be comfortable, but it’s necessary, but gentle with yourself as you release what’s no longer aligned.
 
Scorpio Rising
The New Moon helps you clean up your future vision as it activates your 11th house, bringing more focus to your long-term goals, friendships, and the networks you're part of. You may be reevaluating who you're aligned with, and whether the direction you’re heading still feels like your own, and not to benefit others. It’s a great time to revisit collaborations, clarify your audience/social groups, or realign with your bigger “why.” Do you have a chip on your shoulder? Or do you truly feel alive walking your path? Let go of group dynamics that feel draining or performative.
 
Sagittarius Rising
The New Moon offers a professional or purpose-based reset, as it activates your 10th house. Whether you're looking to shift direction in your career, launch a new path, or evolve your reputation, this is a great time to do it, but make sure to do it with intention. If you’ve been out of alignment with what others know you for, this New Moon is your invitation to change course. You don’t need a complete overhaul, just small, but clear steps in the right direction. What you start now can gain real traction in the next six months, invest wisely.
 
Capricorn Rising
The New Moon is guiding you to challenge your beliefs as it transits your 9th house, and so take a look at especially what you've outgrown. You’re being asked to reconnect with your sense of purpose and expand past what's familiar towards what inspires you more now. You may feel the call to study something new, teach what you know, or even travel. This is a time to broaden your perspective.
 
Aquarius Rising
The New Moon touches deep emotional territory for you as it activates your 8th house, bringing up themes around trust, shared resources, and emotional vulnerability. If you've been avoiding certain conversations or financial entanglements, it's time to deal with them head-on. This New Moon asks you to clean up the power dynamics in your relationships and to stop carrying emotional weight that doesn’t belong to you.
 
Pisces Rising
The New Moon is in your 7th house, focusing on your close partnerships and emotional commitments. If something feels off in your relationships - romantic, professional, or platonic - this is your invitation to name it and so to shift it. You may find that you had settled for potential and are now seeing things as they are. Use this New Moon to be honest about what you need from others and what you’re no longer willing to tolerate.
