The sky is dark. The cosmos quiet. The moment still.
Under the New Moon, we encounter an overwhelming emptiness. Hidden within the sky, she remains out of sight. Hidden from our view, we can only feel, sense, and understand her essence. To truly connect with her, we must shut our eyes and embrace the moment.
As we gently close our eyes, we discover that in the perceived emptiness of the Moon, amidst the darkness, the quietness, and the stillness, lies the essence of our deepest potential—the most vibrant and fertile ground for a new beginning.

August’s Virgo New Moon Is Your Perfect Chance to Leave the Past Behind
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 23, at precisely 2:06 a.m. ET/8:06 a.m. CET, as we welcome the birth of our next New Moon. The skies will experience their last darkening for the Northern Hemisphere summer season, as September ushers in the refreshing embrace of autumn weather.
This New Moon in the Earth sign of Virgo promises a revitalizing and nurturing experience. It’s an opportunity to reset as we approach the final months of 2025. Discover what this New Moon signifies for you and learn why it’s referred to as a Black Moon by some.
What Makes This a Seasonal Black Moon?
This August, we’ll experience a seasonal Black Moon, marking the third New Moon in a cycle of four within the astrological season. Experiencing four New Moons within a single astrological season—spanning from an equinox to a solstice—is a remarkable event. The next seasonal Black Moon won’t happen until August 2028.
If you’re feeling uncertain, rest assured that there’s an alternative way to understand a Black Moon. Chances are, this definition is one you recognize well. The second New Moon that happens within a single calendar month is referred to as a Black Moon. This phenomenon is uncommon, yet not as uncommon as a seasonal Black Moon. Seasonal Black Moons typically happen once every 33 months, while the other variety occurs approximately every 29 months.
Insights & Opportunities That the New Moon in Virgo Brings Your Way
The New Moon marks a fresh start in the lunar cycle. This marks the conclusion of the previous cycle and the exciting start of a new one.

Now could be the perfect moment for a refreshing emotional and mental reset. Take a moment to reconnect with what truly matters and maybe even step outside to feel the grass beneath your feet. Are you the mastermind behind your own stress? If you’re setting impossible standards for yourself, it’s time to release that burden. If your mental discomfort stems from an external source, it’s time to take action and make some changes. Choosing to leave a demanding job or stepping back from draining personalities is essential. Firm decisions will pave the way for a clearer mindset as you move forward into the rest of the year.
Pay Attention to the Moon-Uranus Square & the Mars-Jupiter Square
Be mindful of Uranus as it squares off against the Moon during this period. This placement is unpredictable and can lead to fluctuations in our mood. It’s essential to cultivate the ability to not take minor issues to heart and to be aware of how your words can influence those around you.

Across the cosmic expanse, Jupiter is squaring Mars, setting the stage for potential drama. This aspect is filled with enthusiasm, yet it carries an impulsive nature that encourages bold risk-taking. In other terms, the complete contrast to the meticulously structured energy of Virgo. It generates a compelling tension that tugs at the various facets of our being. Our emotional selves yearn for clarity and structure, while our passionate selves desire the thrill of spontaneity. We must each take responsibility to resolve this internal conflict before it leads to dissatisfaction and increased stress.
Happy New Moon!!!
