First of Two Virgo New Moons in 2025

This year there will be two New Moons in Virgo.

This often happens that there is one sign that is bestowed with the presence of two New Moons as there are generally 13 New Moons every year.

This means that Virgo is getting a double kick of the can, and this will be reflected in the New Moon Wishing you can make this year.  

The first New Moon is in August at 0° Virgo and the second at 29° Virgo in September which is also a solar eclipse as well.

Talk about double whammy?

Who This New Moon Will Affect

All Things Being Equal

Not all New Moons are created equal. How any New Moon affects you will differ each month. You have to be a critical thinker with New Moons.

Step1:

If you have a planet or a point (Ascendant, Midheaven, Part of Fortune, the Vertex or a Node) at 29 Leo to 1 Virgo in your birth chart, this New Moon will affect you directly.

Step 2:

If you do not have planets or points around zero Virgo then look at the natal house in your chart where this New Moon occurs for themes. 

New Moons through the houses

Ruling Planet

Because it is in Virgo the ruling planet is Mercury, The Messenger of the Gods, as Mercury is the sign ruler of Virgo. This rulership hints at the thought and dialogue required by you to access and activate this New Moon energy.

House System

I’ve set the chart on the Zero Aries House system. This is so that the chart is relevant for all people around the world and everyone is considered.

New Moon Aspects

Planet Aspects

The August New Moon has several interesting aspects that will modify its energy.

• A Yod aspect pattern which includes Saturn, Neptune and Pluto.
• A square to Uranus in Gemini.
• A trine to Chiron in Aries.

New Moon Yod

This New Moon, the Sun and Moon are both the focal planets of a Yod major aspect pattern that points to Virgo. There are three quincunxes (green lines) to Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. At the base of the Yod triangle are Saturn and Neptune which are both sextile to Pluto.

Yod Meaning

Yods are pointers in a chart much like an arrowhead. The energy from Saturn, Neptune and Pluto is laser focused towards the Sun and Moon, the New Moon position, in Virgo. This suggests that discipline, illusion and transformation are strong themes this month. You will have to do some inspired inner work to release this energy into your life in the house, or area of life, where the New Moon falls in your birth chart. You can choose to consciously focus your thoughts or simply let them go. A Yod does not force changes, but rather it encourages micro (Virgo) adjustments which you can make almost to tweak your life. This time the devil is in the details.

New Moon Square Uranus

This challenging connection suggests that you will need to find some unique ways to get your project started. Squares always indicate internal dilemmas which will be the case for this New Moon. You will have to dig deep to discover how this energy may be expressed for you Do not stand passively by and expect results. Because you know it’s coming up, position yourself strategically to win through unique responses instead of the same old habits that you’ve used in the past. This New Moon won’t just happen to you. You will have to consciously tap into its energy for optimal results. That you are reading this article is already a good sign.

New Moon Trine Chiron

The lunation is also trine Chiron which indicates that you can bring self-healing into your life now. This aspect (the trine) suggests there may be a guru, or guide, just waiting in the wings and who is available for anyone who reaches out. Trines generally are passive and you have to energize them yourself for full value.

Suggested Projects to Start Now

• A new health diet
• Step into a new walking program
• A new job
• Be consciously kinder
• A new microscopically improved you
• The first step to a better life
• A new pet
• Plant seeds to harvest later
• Journal and document the journey
• Begin a new practical hobby
