The New Moon phase, in general, is an opportune time for initiating new projects, setting intentions, and embracing change. When this moon phase happens under the Virgo zodiac, it becomes a time of practicality, wisdom, and transformative energy.

 

The Significance of the Virgo New Moon 

The Virgo Energy

Virgo, an Earth sign ruled by Mercury, is synonymous with meticulous detail, grounding wisdom, and nurturing support. Imagine it as the ancient sage of a magical forest—both grounding and guiding, yet mystical in its knowledge. Virgo rules the sixth house, the house of health and service. Virgo is aligned with purification of the body, mind, and soul in pursuit of being of the highest service to others.

 

Time to Make Your Own Magic

The New Moon in Virgo urges you to ground your dreams in reality. It asks you to apply the logic and intelligence that Virgo is known for to your most mystical and otherworldly desires. This is the period to set realistic yet ambitious goals, ones that have both substance and sparkle.

 

A Focus on Wellness & Service

As mentioned above, the Virgo zodiac is also linked with health and wellness. Utilize this New Moon to focus on your well-being, perhaps by initiating nutrition guidelines, setting exercise goals, or even taking on a new wellness regimen. How else can you best look after your body, mind, and soul so that you can be of the utmost service to those around you? Perhaps it's incorporating a daily journal practice, grounding with weekly yin yoga, or incorporating a breath work practice into your routine. By serving your own needs, you build the foundation for serving others. Working with the Service sigil in your rituals can help you to tap into this energy.

Herbal Tea Ceremony

1. Preparation: Begin by boiling water and setting your sacred space, perhaps adorning your tea area with crystals and plants to align with Virgo's Earth element.
