Welcome in the New Moon in Virgo on September 2nd, 2024

We can observe the phases of the moon with the naked eye, making them among the most fascinating astronomical behaviors. Astrology finds them to be deeply rich sources of thought and interpretation. Among the 9 phases – New, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter Half, Waning Crescent, and Balsamic – the New and Full Moons capture most of the attention. This article will look at the current New Moon in  Virgo. It includes a “creation activity” associated with the sign of this New Moon. The idea originates from Jan Spiller’s book: New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.

New Moon in Virgo – Let’s Start Something!

The Virgo New Moon will occur on September 2^nd at 11 degrees and 04 minutes. In my Eastern Standard Time zone, it will happen at 9:56 pm.

It takes 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. Just before the New Moon begins, the 3 days of the previous moon phase is the Balsamic Moon. That period is ideal for meditating, reflecting, and releasing; all in preparation for the New Moon.

The first 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon begins is the best time to initiate energy. We will explore each New Moon using Jan Spiller’s suggested actions to take advantage of this period of inspiration.

The energy of the New Moon perfectly suits embarking on a first date, exploring novel experiences, and visiting uncharted places. It’s an opportunity that unfolds each month, inviting you to synchronize your actions with the fresh beginnings. Keeping track of the New Moon allows you to deliberately engage in something new. Take the time to initiate a project aligning with the Moon’s unique energies as it travels through different signs.

New Moon in Virgo

During the New Moon in Virgo, we immerse ourselves in themes of practicality and service. Virgo’s influence prompts us to focus on refining our skills and contributing meaningfully to our daily lives. This lunar phase encourages us to connect deeply with our routines and the satisfaction of helping others. Therefore, we can strengthen bonds through thoughtful and supportive interactions, and seek fulfillment through diligence and persistent effort. Consequently, this New Moon inspires us to align with our true values through careful planning and dedication.

This New Moon will occur at 11d04m of Virgo, making its Sabian symbol 12 Virgo, “A bride with her veil snatched away.” Jones says, “This is a symbol of life’s demand that man continue at all times to prove himself in full accordance with the claims he has made for himself, emphasized here on the side of his everyday relationships with his fellows. Implicit in the phallic symbolism is the necessity that an individual continue along the path of experience he has once chosen for his own, since the fact of his choice indicates a capacity for profiting from the consequences.” The key word is: INVITATION.

The Numbers of This New Moon

This New Moon happens on 09/2/2024, so the number is 19, which totals 10, which reduces to 1. The New Moon in Virgo, influenced by number 1, heralds a period of self-reliance, focused efforts, and embracing individual responsibility. Aligned with Virgo’s meticulous energy, this lunar cycle invites us to refine our skills. Thus we need to approach our goals with precision and care.

The number 1 symbolizes independence and leadership, urging us to take initiative and prioritize our personal growth. During this New Moon, we want to focus on self-improvement, working diligently to achieve our aspirations and honing our abilities. It’s a time for disciplined action, setting intentions, and striving for excellence in our endeavors.

The Major Arcana cards for the number 1 are The Magician (1), the Wheel of Fortune (10), and the Sun (19). They represent manifestation, cycles of change, and enlightenment. The Magician guides the Fool to harness his or her willpower and manifest his or her desires. The Wheel of Fortune teaches the Fool about the inevitable cycles of life and the importance of adaptability. The Sun reminds the Fool of the power of positivity and the joy that comes from clarity and truth. Each card carries profound lessons that empower the Fool to navigate the life journey with confidence and purpose.

The New Moon falls on the 2^nd of the month. On this day, influenced by 2, we enter a phase of harmony and partnership. Virgo’s influence prompts us to focus on precision in communication with our partners and improving our daily relationship routines. The number 2 symbolizes balance, cooperation, and connection, encouraging us to invest in others emotionally and work collaboratively. Therefore, you should embrace Virgo’s thoughtful energy and allow it to guide you in refining your approach. Trust in your ability to create harmony and shine through your dedication to others during this empowering lunar phase.

New Moon Wishing (A Tribute to Jan Spiller’s Work)

I deeply appreciate the practical applications of astrology. And one gem is Jan Spiller’s book, “New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.” Spiller emphasizes that wishing is not mere idle desire but a conscious act of responsibility. To harness this energy, you must be aware of the New Moon’s timing in your time zone. Once you know it, write your wishes within 8 to 24 hours after it becomes new.

Once the New Moon’s energy is underway, it’s essential to take pen to paper. Though digital options abound, handwriting your wishes and intentions is integral to the energy ritual.

Spiller advises crafting up to no more than 10 wishes, as an excess of requests may dissipate energy. Personally, I vary between 3 to 7 wishes, depending on the New Moon and my life circumstances at the time. Aligning your statements with the New Moon’s sign when you write your intentions adds an extra layer of potency.

Wishes/Intentions

Knowing your chart will help you understand which New Moons will be stronger, while others may be weaker. So, here are the “nuts and bolts”. Sit down somewhere you can be comfortable, get your favorite pen, and write your wishes/intentions. Wording is very important, and Spiller suggests starting each sentence with, “I wish/want …”.

During the New Moon in Virgo, consider the following wishes:

• I wish to enhance my skills and refine my approach with precision.
• I want to create an organized and efficient environment that brings me peace and fulfillment.
• I wish for self-discipline and the courage to release habits that no longer serve me.
• I want to cultivate practices that enhance my productivity and personal growth.
• I wish to embrace my analytical abilities and trust my practical talents.
• I want to strengthen my sense of service and connection to my community through my dedication and thoughtfulness.

After jotting down your wishes, find a meaningful place for to keep thme and revisit them periodically. Placing them in a journal or a special box by your bedside is a wonderful choice. Remember that the choice of paper and the pen you use play a role in this process. Being deliberate in every detail is key.

Happy New Moon in Virgo Wishing!
