Every month, the moon gets a new start, a clean slate, and a rebirth when it becomes a new moon.
This lunation occurs when the moon moves in tandem with the sun, making it appear invisible from Earth. In astrology, the new moon is a sign of change that provides an opportunity for new ideas and opportunities to emerge. In terms of self-improvement, the new moon in Virgo is one of the most potent lunar opportunities we have to reset and refocus — something many of us are looking to do anyway in September.
The new moon in mutable Virgo in September 2023 occurs on September 14, at 9:40 p.m. ET or 3:40 a.m. CET on September 15. The earth sign is all about getting organized, fine-tuning schedules, and focusing on self-improvement, so this new moon will bring you those vibes.
This new moon reminds us that we’re in it for the long haul, and nothing lasts forever. It may also motivate you to reconsider how you care for your health.
We’ll try to explain the spiritual significance of this lunation and how the September 2023 new moon in Virgo will affect each zodiac sign.
The Spiritual Meaning of the September 14/15 New Moon in Virgo
Every year around August 23, the sun enters Virgo territory, inspiring us to organize our collective and individual responsibilities. Because Virgo rules the sixth house of health and routine, this lunation heralds a prosperous time to revamp your physical and spiritual rituals and focus on wellness. New moons are all about resetting and reflecting, and given the earth sign’s grounded energy, you’ll want to recharge your batteries so you can move forward as your best self. This is an opportunity to assess what has worked (and what hasn’t), so you can plan for the future with those improvements in mind.
Virgo is known for being overly critical, but this is only because self-improvement is so important to them. However, when reinventing yourself, it is critical not to obsess over perfection. If this lunation makes you feel self-critical, try to be gentle with yourself.
The new moon in Virgo occurs on September 15, just as Mercury begins to move direct again. That means Mercury retrograde’s shadow period is still in effect, preparing us for the hiccups of its backspin. Mercury retrograde in Virgo has been shining a spotlight on our wellness, daily routines, and inner balance this month, so it’s a good time to reflect on how you’re caring for yourself emotionally and physically.
The Impact of the September New Moon in Virgo on the Zodiac Signs
To assist you in taking advantage of the new moon’s clean slate, we will attempt to explain the effects the new moon in Virgo may have on each zodiac sign.
Aries (March 20-April 19)
On the one hand, Aries, the new moon in Virgo is urging you to reorganize your priorities and bring order to your environment. On the other hand, it encourages you to take control of your overall health and well-being. It’s an excellent time to set boundaries. Take a step back and practice letting others chart their own course while you chart your own.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus, the new moon in Virgo is energizing your creative and romantic sectors. Incorporate some of your artistic impulses into your self-care rituals. Still feeling the aftereffects of Leo season? Remember that your past does not define you. Continue to cultivate whatever feels good for your soul. Your new creative routines will rekindle your passions and inspire you on your next adventure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini, it’s a quiet time for you right now, and things may feel very personal. This is because the moon is transiting your fourth house of family and home, prompting you to consider what you require to feel safe and secure. Beautiful chapters are on their way to you, and all you have to do is listen and reflect on what gives you the most joy when you are alone in the sanctuary and solitude of your own home.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Keep your wits about you when it comes to communication right now, Cancer. During Mercury retrograde’s pre-shadow period, you may experience hiccups, so it’s more important than ever to think logically and avoid being overly critical of others right now. This Virgo new moon invites you to engage in rituals that focus on your vulnerabilities and sensitivities. Observe and lend an ear, but be careful not to take anything too personally.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The Virgo new moon is encouraging you to examine your spending habits, but it is also reminding you of your self-worth. Remember to be kind to yourself right now. You should also go over your budget and set financial boundaries — that opulent floor mirror you saw on TikTok can wait. Remember, the sky is the limit, and there is enough for everyone. An abundance mindset begins with focusing on and practicing gratitude for what you have right now.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
This lunation is extremely transformative for you, Virgo, especially given that you spent the previous season in your head. You are now putting all of your revelations, feelings, and hopes into action. That comes at the expense of not noticing some habits that may be stifling your progress. Take note of what you’re obsessing over and overthinking, and instead, remember to keep things simple. Your most important commitment must always be to yourself.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra, you’re taking a step back to unpack some personal baggage. You’re all about your social life, but the new moon is teaching you the value of solitude as well. It’s a powerful time to slow down and try to understand your thoughts and emotions through a practical lens, as well as to acknowledge the progress you’ve made. All at once, you’re evolving, learning, healing, growing, and discovering yourself. When you start paying attention and developing your inner peace, things will start to get magical.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, the Virgo new moon reminds you that it’s okay to rely on others for help. You may discover that your friend circle is expanding, or that you are showing up for your loved ones in an entirely new way, such as taking on the cheerleader role in addition to the keeper of secrets. It’s perfectly fine to put yourself first and set lofty goals for yourself, but it’s also a priceless gift to share your wisdom with those you love.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The Virgo new moon may tempt you to put all of your eggs in one basket, risk everything, and completely change careers. However, rather than rushing in without thinking about the consequences, the earth-sign energy is encouraging you to be patient with the process. Protect your energy by outlining your must-haves when looking for and defining your next career path. The key to building your empire is to remember that it is a marathon, not a sprint.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Virgo, your fellow earth sign, is encouraging you to venture outside of your comfort zone, prompting you to reconsider values or identities you hold dear (hello, workaholic!). This new moon is assisting you in broadening your horizons, whether you are adopting new philosophies or exploring somewhere new. This quest begins with the realization that you have nothing to prove. Your worth starts with you and your essence, and all of your accomplishments are special awards.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Changes are afoot, Aquarius, but the most important lesson you’ll learn is how to balance your advocacy for others with your own. It’s okay to be selfish, especially when it comes to self-improvement and self-care. This lunation serves as a reminder that in order to help the greater good, you must first work on yourself. The world’s problems aren’t going away anytime soon, so create your own sanctuary and find inner peace.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces, your relationships are in the spotlight right now. The practical lens of Virgo provides you with the foresight to separate your relationship from your romanticization of it. You and your sister sign, Virgo, have a tendency to hold others to impossible standards, so now is a good time to break down those barriers and accept what is true. This earthy lunation teaches you how to heal your own heart and create your own joy in your relationships and beyond. Spiritual bliss and guidance will soon enter your life, which will be worth all of your previous losses.
