New Moon in Virgo

The New Moon in Virgo invites you to simplify, to sift and sort what no longer serves, and to prepare the ground for the next cycle. Like a butterfly at the edge of its cocoon, or a falcon dusting off its wings before flight, this moment is a quiet threshold. Take it as an opportunity to ready yourself for the miracle of soaring into what comes next.

SETTING SOUL INTENTIONS

Virgo invites us to live with greater mindfulness, to make conscious choices, and to explore practices that expand our self-awareness.

The New Moon in Virgo lends her quiet power of courage and determination, helping us fast-track change and leap forward into new ways of being. She supports big moves—so long as they are aligned with your true direction. In return, she asks that you first explore your energy leaks, whether they come from within or without, and commit to changing whatever behaviour no longer serves your growth.

New Moons are times for setting intentions—for listening closely to what our soul longs to manifest in the cycle ahead. Unlike the fleeting desires of the mind, the soul’s intentions are always for our highest good. The mind might yearn for the dream partner, dream job, or dream house, but the soul often longs for something deeper: freedom, creative expression, and peace of mind. This lunar doorway offers powerful support for aligning with that deeper clarity.

Here, Virgo lends her hand once more. As an Earth sign, she reminds us that our physical body is an extension of the Earth itself, carrying immense wisdom when we learn to listen. The body knows before the mind what is truly good for us.

During this New Moon, tune into your body’s messages: is what you feel excitement or fear, tiredness or sadness, energy or depletion? Trust these signals. They are your compass, guiding you toward what will sustain, uplift, and align you with your soul’s path.

Believe in the Magic of New Beginnings. Dust off your wings, trust in their strength, and let them carry you to new heights. This is your moment to rise, renewed and ready, as the New Moon opens the door to fresh possibilities.

PRACTICE A BEGINNER’s MIND

On the New Moon—or in the days around it—set aside time to connect with your soul’s voice through meditation, journaling, or a medicine walk outdoors. Whatever practice you choose, let your intention be to ‘empty the cup’ of the mind’s chatter and gently bid farewell to unfulfilled dreams or lingering disappointments.

New Moons offer us a rare opportunity to practice what Zen Buddhists call the beginner’s mind. Imagine this lunation as a blank page, a white canvas, or take a sheet of paper and allow your soul to speak through words, images, or feelings in this very moment.

You might even draw inspiration from Semine’s New Moon Cards as you set an intention for the coming cycle. When the Full Moon arrives, return to your notes and reflect—what has shifted, unfolded, or blossomed? Celebrate whatever has come to life.

Life moves in circles, not straight lines—just as the sun and moon move endlessly through the cosmos. Your soul’s intentions unfold in the same way: not as fixed life goals, but as evolving lessons and experiences that expand your being. Themes may return, appearing in new forms. Resist the urge to dismiss them as “been there, done that.” Instead, meet them with fresh eyes and a beginner’s mind. Perhaps this time you will see something different, learn something deeper, or simply leap over what no longer belongs to you.

SIFT & SORT

The New Moon in Virgo invites you to simplify your life by simply choosing what is for you higher good and leave behind, what is breadcrumbs from the past. Sifting and sorting your life will prepare you for your next cycle. And the dusting off is an important phase that allows you to emerge in a lighter and happier state before your new chapter,

Let go of grudges, dynamics and thought processes that don’t serve you, and take a moment to be still, so you can listen to what is inside you. Maybe you will find an answer to the big question from the Virgo New Moon, who likes a soft but firm motherly mentor asks you: “Dare you take the steps that your soul asks of you?”

Remember to keep a flexible mind and allow for things to evolve at their own pace. If something is not yet clear to you, don’t try and overthink or force it. Allow answers and direction to flow into clarity through its own timing.

New Moon blessings,
