How the New Moon in Virgo of September 2023 Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign

Fall is fast approaching, and the sun’s journey through Virgo is highlighting everything from your personal routines to your day-to-day affairs. What are you creating and cultivating this season? Is there something you’re hoping to improve? If you’re wondering how the new moon in Virgo of September 2023 will affect each zodiac sign, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s one of the most productive and supportive lunations we’ve seen in a long time.

Although the phases of the moon each have their own unique significance, there’s something mystical and auspicious about the new moon. It not only marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, but also a reminder to stop, reflect, and be still. This occurs once a month when the sun forms a conjunction with the moon via the exact same degree of a specific zodiac sign. The sun represents your ego and physical reality, while the moon serves as a symbol of your innermost feelings and emotional landscape. When these luminaries join forces, we are collectively gifted with a clean slate from the heavens, which is why it’s important to honor this fresh start. 

This month’s new moon will take place on September 14 at 9:40 p.m. ET at 21 degrees Virgo. With the moon renewing itself in this meticulous earth sign, mercurial themes (i.e. health, mindfulness, organization, daily rituals, to name a few) are of greater prominence. Granted, this isn’t everyone’s strongest suit, but it’s all the more reason to maximize on its productivity and resourcefulness. For starters, you’ll want to check which astrological house(s) belongs to 21 degrees of Virgo, as this is the energy focal point for your new beginning. 

However, let’s not forget Mercury is still retrograde. But in addition to the positive astrology surrounding this lunation, rest assured that Mercury—Virgo’s planetary ruler—will be stationing direct the following day, and this will naturally supercharge our seeds of intention as the moon continues to grow. So, if you’ve been waiting to hear back about important news, or simply hoping to gain clarity on something, the combination of Mercury direct and the new moon will bring your plans back into motion. The new moon will also form a harmonious trine to change-maker Uranus in Taurus, which can be just as exhilarating as it is unexpected.

Look at it this way: Virgo is analytical, devoted, and problem-solving; Taurus is dependable, grounded, and stability-seeking. This earthy synergy could bring a series of interesting breakthroughs, as well as more forward-momentum. Pay attention to your intuitive downloads, as it could also nudge you with important insight. In the meantime, reflect on what you would like to improve when in regards to your day-to-day lifestyle. Are there alternative routes you’re willing to take, at least for the sake of experimenting? What stagnant routines are you hoping to break free from?

Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming new moon in Virgo, according to your sun sign, moon sign or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
