The Virgo New Moon September 10th puts your health and wellbeing, healing and healers, and the routines, habits, and systems that support your everyday life front and center.
And this New Moon is carrying three significant energy shifts — Mercury and Venus shift into new signs and Uranus begins backtracking in Gemini — changing the conversation, deepening your connections and blowing the winds of change inward.
Virgo is practical and pays attention to details. It sees what’s working while looking for ways to correct, improve, organize everything that isn’t – so your life becomes more productive, efficient and flows more successfully.
During this phase, you may become more aware of where your time, energy, or resources are being wasted—and where you could use a few adjustments that could make a world of difference.
This isn’t about adding more to your plate — it’s about doing what actually works for you.
🔥 Putting It Into Practice
Mars in Cancer aligns with the Virgo New Moon, providing the motivation to roll up your sleeves and get your shit together — get going on what begging for your attention.
This influence supports making moves around health and nutrition, starting a new exercise routine, treatment, practice or protocol, or just being more intentional about your self-care routines. A detox or cleanse isn’t the worst idea during this phase.
Cancer brings home, family and emotional needs into the mix too. You could be tackling projects around your home and property — cleaning, clearing, organizing, repairing — or creating better systems that make everyday life run smooth.
But there’s also an emotional factor here.
Mars in Cancer is moved by how it feels while Virgo’s focus is on the body, health and daily habits, emphasizing just how deeply your emotional wellbeing impacts your physical wellbeing.
Emotions like stress, overwhelm, resentment or anxiety don’t just stay in the realm of feelings. These emotions influence your nervous system, energy levels, quality of sleep, appetite, digestion and more.
The body remembers. It knows.
Emotional triggers can show up in the body as very real physical responses too — tension, a racing heart, a knot in your stomach, shallow breathing — learn to listen. Holy cortisol spikes.
At the same time, the way you care for your body, as well as your environment, who and what you surround yourself with, the media and social media you consume also has a profound effect on your emotional wellbeing. Maybe it’s time for a digital detox too.
Notice what your body and your feelings may be trying to tell you.
This period can be an opportunity to become more aware of these connections and realize how caring for your emotional health is equally a vital part of improving your overall wellbeing.
All the workouts in the world, all the supplements and doing all the things can’t fix what emotional exhaustion, a draining environment or a fried nervous system does to the body.
Mars gives you the Cosmic kick in the ass to actually do something about it once you realize how or what you could do better.
⚡💬 Game-Changing Talks & Negotiations
Mercury, ruler of this Virgo New Moon, moves into Libra on the very same day.
This shifts the conversation as you look for ways to reach agreements and negotiate terms, while finding areas of mutual benefit, cooperation and collaboration.
Mercury also forms an awkward angle to Chiron in Taurus, suggesting that some of those terms may need some tweaking.
Perhaps you spot a loophole, discover a way in or out or a bridge through. It could be that you realize that an agreement or an arrangement no longer reflects what you know you’re worth.
Over the days following the New Moon, Mercury makes a series of powerful connections with the outer planets — Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries — creating an Air Grand Trine that becomes part of a larger Kite configuration.
The ruler of this New Moon is having conversations and collabs with the planets shaping some of the biggest collective changes of our time.
With Mercury in Libra sitting at the center of all this activity, important changes can come through conversations, collaborations, negotiations, agreements and the exchange of information.
Word travels fast.
You may be in a flow state now as new ideas, plans and schemes are pouring in. Connections and conversations could open doors, bring unexpected opportunities or put you in contact with people or information that could be the catalysts for major change.
Some of these happenings move fast.
Uranus delivers the unexpected — there could be sudden breakthroughs, revelations, or a change of your mind or plans that leads things in a totally different direction.
Pluto adds power and permanence to the picture, so whatever is uncovered or set into motion now could alter the path of something going forward.
There are some realizations you just can’t unknow and some conversations you can’t take back. Decisions made based on what you know now could change the situation so completely that there’s no going back to the way things were.
This could be a point of no return.
There’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube.
🌫️ But Do You Have the Whole Story?
While ideas may be flowing, conversations moving quickly and agreements coming together effortlessly, there may still be something that’s unclear or left unsaid as Neptune in Aries sits across the Sky from Mercury.
Neptune blurs the lines between fact and fiction, what you know and what you think you know, what was actually said and what you thought someone meant as you filled in the blanks.
There could be important details overlooked, misunderstandings, deliberate omissions or even deception. Maybe there’s faulty information, mixed messages or something happening behind the scenes that you’re not aware of yet.
This doesn’t necessarily mean something nefarious is going on. Sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know.
You know what happens when you assume – right?
So before making a major decision or signing on the dotted line, have a closer look and read the fine print. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or verify information. Don’t just take someone’s word for it. What isn’t being said could be just as important now.
While Neptune may obscure Mercury’s logic, it can also heighten your intuitive perception. You could be sensing something running under the surface, enabling you to read between the lines.
If you feel that something’s not adding up even though it appears perfectly reasonable, don’t ignore that feeling. You’re feeling it for a reason.
Your intuition may be trying to communicate something your rational mind would otherwise discount altogether.
Tune in.
🏊 A Swimming Race
The Sabian Symbol for this Virgo New Moon is “A Swimming Race” — let’s unpack some of the layers of symbolism here.
A swimming race obviously requires skill, practice and technique — learning how to conserve energy and get the most from every stroke.
In your pursuit of self-mastery, you may be able to recognize where your own habits or weaknesses are working against you, allowing you to make a conscious effort to put the right adjustments into practice.
And this is a race in the water.
Water symbolizes the emotional, unconscious, psychic and intuitive realms — the things that may not be seen but can absolutely be felt.
And a race implies competition — showing how others can motivate you to step up your game, inspiring growth, a greater effort and excellence.
As you learn to sense what’s under the surface of things, you become better at navigating life’s currents without allowing yourself to become overwhelmed or swept away in a sea of emotions — yours or others’.
You’re on your way to becoming a Master of the Universe. 😊
🖤 What’s it Worth to You?
Venus moves into Scorpio the same day of the New Moon, bringing depth and intensity to matters of love, money, attraction, intimacy and shared resources. Venus in Scorpio has little desire to keep things light or surface level. Deep bonds, real connections, intimacy and trust is where it’s at with Venus in Scorpio. There’s an ‘all or nothing’ quality to Scorpio – you either like someone or something or you don’t – there’s not a whole lot of middle ground.
Venus immediately faces off with Chiron in Taurus, needling some of your sore spots around worth, values, self-worth and security regarding both your relationships and financial matters.
This period also has a way of magnetically attracting the right people, resources and opportunities your way — while repelling what isn’t a good fit or magnifying where something just doesn’t align.
Venus in Scorpio craves deep bonds, real connection and to feel safe enough to let someone into the places they don’t share with just anyone. You may notice a longing for more depth, trust or reciprocity in your connections now. While you may draw in those who can share that with you — at the same time you’re more aware of the connections where that’s lacking — and where you’ve reached the limits of how deep they can really go.
This influence can reveal the areas where you feel you’ve been over-giving, under-receiving, settling for less, accepting crumbs or the bare minimum or pinning your sense of worth to what someone else is willing to give you.
Relationships often mirror your own sense of self-worth. And the real rub can be the realization that you’ve been willing to accept way less than what you actually deserve.
Venus goes retrograde October 3rd through November 13th — so she’s already moving through her shadow and will return to some of this territory during her backtracking travels.
Pay attention to what’s surfacing now around love, money, shared resources, relationships, trust, intimacy and self-worth as it may be the beginning of a longer story.
You’ll have an opportunity to revisit and reassess those things in the months ahead.
On the collective level, Venus in Scorpio puts a spotlight on banking, debt, loans, mortgages, taxes, insurance, investments and the economy. Financial developments showing up now could come up for review or renegotiation as Venus retraces her steps in the weeks ahead.
⚡ Uranus Rx = Inner Revolution
Uranus stations retrograde the same day as the Virgo New Moon, amplifying the planet of change and awakening.
Whatever Uranus disrupted or awakened and brought to your awareness is now turning inward. You could reconsider ideas or question information, or maybe you change your mind or view something from a completely different angle and rethink your approach to a situation.
Uranus will retrograde through February 8th, 2027, so you have some time to process your inner revolution.
You don’t have to have everything figured out or make every change at once.
Be Conscious. Be Curious. Be Connected to YOU.
