The New Moon in Virgo is going to take place on August 23, 2025, a sweet Saturday, exactly at 2:06 AM EDT. I wasn’t planning to write the new moon post. I thought I might skip the gate of eclipse, the New Moon in Virgo. But I couldn’t. I’m at a coffee shop near my house. It’s a historical mansion. I’m on the front upstairs terrace as I pour these words. The tiles are great, the view is great, the new moon is inevitable.
Happening exactly at 0°05 Virgo, conjunct the star of success Regulus, this New Moon is the gate to the upcoming eclipses. Regulus used to sit at 29 Leo and only shifted into Virgo in 2011. The star once tied success to spectacle and charisma, but now it rewards skill, service, and refinement. What is seeded here has a different flavor of achievement than in centuries past.
We are now breathing the eclipses. A lunar eclipse will take place on September 7, 2025 in Pisces and then a solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21. NASA’s eclipse calendar has the official details if you want to see the bigger picture of what’s coming. What a month it is going to be for Pisces fellows and Virgo friends. Share your stories with me , I’d love to hear what happened that you did not expect this month or send a raven, if you must.

New Moon in Virgo August 2025 and the eclipse gate
Virgo is the sign of details, systems, and daily rhythms. New Moons here always invite a clean slate, but this one is different. It is sitting on Regulus and it is the threshold of two eclipses. Small beginnings now could echo loudly through September. A shift in diet, a new schedule, a project outline, or a habit that sticks could become part of the larger story that unfolds during the eclipses. Even if it feels minor, Virgo insists the little things are what hold the structure. Don’t be surprised if the urge to clear, sort, or deep clean shows up strongly that day.
Virgo season also brings the urge to refine and reorganize. It shows up everywhere — back to school routines, offices clearing clutter after summer, and public conversations about health, food, and wellness. It shows up at home too, in the drawer you finally sort, the planner you actually use, or the decision to keep one space clear. These are not trivial. They are the groundwork that must be done before the winter hits.
Best Friends of the New Moon in Virgo: Uranus, Pluto, Saturn and Neptune
There is a strong flow between these planets through trines and sextiles. Because they are slow-moving generational planets, their collaboration sets the tone for years. When they connect by significant angles, the shifts are profound and lasting. You may already feel these changes personally, as we also move through them collectively as a society.
Uranus, the planet of innovation and sudden changes that reset the rules, is in easy conversation with Pluto, the underworld transformer, and with Saturn, the ruler of time and structure, while Neptune brushes in to bend reality. The tone is inventive, future focused, and quietly radical. Uranus is the smart person who gets away with everything because you cannot fight against that person’s electric logic, it’s shockingly true.
Uranus in Gemini with Pluto in Aquarius can look like sudden leaps in communication tech and networks. A translation tool gets so good that international teams talk in real time. A platform changes how communities gather, and new voices rise fast. In daily life, conversations move to simpler channels, maps update, routes change, and you find a faster way to connect.
Saturn drawing closer to Neptune near zero Aries turns a foggy vision into a starter rule. Cities test pilot programs for clean transit. Schools add media and AI literacy. Hospitals trial better triage systems. Personally, a vague wish becomes one clear boundary or one clear schedule that actually sticks.
The air and fire flow between Gemini, Aquarius, and the Aries point favors brave starts that are also smart. Think soft launches and first versions that improve quickly. Begin small and iterate. The current supports it.

Sun square Uranus in Gemini turns the air electric. News breaks. Plans switch. Plot twists around announcements, travel, tech, or plans. Many of us are going to hear shocking news around New Moon day. This could be a small shock or a very grand shock depending on your chart. Even on Moon square Uranus days, which isn’t the case on this New Moon, I usually hear or read about something surprising.

What could it look like on that day? A transit line closes and a different route gets you there faster anyway. A platform pulls a feature and a cleaner way of working appears by necessity. A friend’s move, engagement, or job switch reshapes the weekend in an instant. An unexpected message lands and the shift in timing ends up better than the original plan. The best approach is practical and light on drama. Leave buffer time around key tasks and back up before you step away. If a shock hits, ask what it frees you from, because Uranus often removes friction you were tolerating. Keep responses short and factual while the dust settles.

This aspect is already humming and it favors crisp thinking that flows straight into doing. A new shortcut or route can cut a forty-five minute chore to ten. A tidy message can bring a same day yes. One small fix can smooth an entire chain of steps. A clear ask can land the exact time slot you wanted. Put the energy to work by keeping a capture list open so you can catch ideas as they arrive, then ship the ones that take less than thirty minutes. Say exactly what you want, with a short subject, a clear ask, and a clear timeline.
New moon in Virgo in August Meaning for Each Sign
Aries Rising
This New Moon resets your routines and asks you to clean up the daily grind. The drawer of chaos, the inbox you avoid, the diet you promise to restart all belong here. Even one small fix can change the whole system in surprising ways. Virgo is practical, so the less dramatic your beginning, the more power it has.
Taurus Rising
Your creativity and joy get a fresh start. Pick up the guitar, restart the blog, or finally buy the paints you have been eyeing even if they dry out later. Love and dating also land here, where small gestures can grow into real fun. Less scrolling, more living is the theme.
Gemini Rising
Home base is calling for attention. Some of you will finally do the closet purge, others will move furniture, and a few will start thinking about moving altogether. Family dynamics are up for review too, with a chance to make better structures. The Virgo New Moon insists that a little order at home goes a long way.
Cancer Rising
Your calendar, emails, and conversations are ready for a reset. This can look like downloading a new app, starting a better habit, or deciding to stop over-explaining yourself. The New Moon is an invitation to say things clean and keep them moving. Small changes in your communication style may carry big weight during the eclipses.
Leo Rising
Money and self-worth are front and center. This could be a budget update, a new income stream, or the moment you realize you do not need five of the same shirt. Virgo brings the version of abundance that is trackable and useful. If you can measure it, you can build on it.
Virgo Rising
This is your New Moon and the one you should not skip. Fresh haircut energy, fresh planner energy, and the sudden urge to start something that matters to you. Even the tiniest step now can ripple out through September’s eclipses. You are the main character of this lunation, so act like it.
Libra Rising
The Virgo New Moon lands in your private 12th house. This is not the time for announcements, it is the time for behind-the-scenes resets. Journal, clear your digital clutter, or pay attention to your dreams for hints. Think of it as cleaning the attic of your mind so you can breathe again.
Scorpio Rising
Your friendships and networks are getting reorganized. A new project may start or an old group chat may finally fade out. Notice who shows up now and who quietly exits because this timing matters. The people and groups in your orbit are part of the bigger eclipse story.
Sagittarius Rising
Career and public image are in the spotlight. A boss may shift responsibilities, a rule may change, or you may decide to update your professional profile. These are not huge gestures but they set the stage for what comes later. A small beginning now has the power to shape your September in lasting ways.
Capricorn Rising
The Virgo New Moon opens a window in your 9th house of travel, learning, and belief. Book the trip, sign up for the class, or experiment with a new worldview. Do not overcomplicate it, just take one small step forward. This lunation rewards curiosity that turns into action.
Aquarius Rising
Shared resources and deeper bonds are the focus. This could mean consolidating a payment, renegotiating an agreement, or having one honest conversation about trust. It might not feel dramatic but it carries weight. The Virgo New Moon reminds you that clarity here is power.
Pisces Rising
Partnerships take the stage for you. A small new habit in a relationship, whether romantic, professional, or social, could grow quickly. Clearer communication and better scheduling can transform dynamics. This is not about sweeping gestures, it is about steady Virgo steps that build trust.
