Understanding Moon Phases
The new moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle. This is the best time to start anything new, setting your intentions for the month ahead. Planning and self-care are the best activities for this time.
Below is a little cheat sheet graphic you can save to help you determine the best activities for all phases. I’ve also created a blog post for those of you who want to read more about how to use moon phases. You can find that post here.
About The New Moon In Virgo
According to Cafe Astrology, the Virgo New Moon is a great time to set goals and organize your day-to-day life. It encourages you to focus on developing traits like being analytical, intelligent, and helpful in your own personality.
“A time of new beginnings, this New Moon presents an excellent opportunity for us to formulate some goals regarding “all things Virgo.” We’d do well to concentrate on new ways to get our day-to-day life organized. We might think about the keywords for this particular and earthy sign — such things as analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious — and consider ways to enhance, develop, or incorporate these traits into our personalities.”

Pile 1 – Rose Quartz
It looks like you’re having a rough time lately, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this!! You might be dealing with a heartache, stressing over finances, or having physical issues that are taking a lot out of you right now. Whatever the cause, it looks like it’s mostly beyond your control.
Here’s the deal, though – no storm lasts forever, and storm or not, you are The Empress shown in the cards, and I think you need to remember that. Of course, this applies regardless of your gender. The Empress does not chase or try to force something to happen that is beyond her control.
She doesn’t seek abundance because she is abundance. She allows her emotions to run their course, but doesn’t let them run the show. She is hella magnetic and aligns with the beauty of life rather than trying to create it, even though she is always creating.
Your advice is clear: accept and surrender to what you cannot control. Learning to accept a situation for what it is allows you to make the best of it and find creative solutions. Creating something will be wonderfully cathartic at this time as well. Hang in there, and keep redirecting your focus to what you can control. You got this!!
Pile 2 – Silk Agate
You have been through a lot and are relentless in your pursuit of climbing back onto the horse you’ve fallen from so many times! While life will always have its ups and downs, it’s clear that the worst is behind you now.
Not only that, though, someone important will be entering your life soon. This is a fated connection and is likely a romantic relationship, but it could be a close friendship as well. Some of you may already have this person in your life. If that’s the case, then your message speaks to a deepening of that relationship and possibly a big change, such as moving in together, finding out you’re going to be a parent, or deciding to marry.
Use the energy of this new moon to figure out what needs to be released in order to make room for what’s coming. You’ve got a lot of material items that are holding old and difficult energies, and I think you’re due for a good brain dump as well.
Pile 3 – Citrine
Something in your life has ended, leaving you feeling out of sorts. There may be some grief or heartache still, but mostly I’m getting the “what do I do now?” feeling. You may be tempted to try to re-create a situation or version of yourself that is no longer available and only a pale shadow compared to what and who you are becoming.
You now have a clean slate, and this is your opportunity to create yourself and your life instead of allowing your circumstances to run the show. You have been living in a little box for a very long time, and there is a whole universe of amazing experiences to be had!
Use the energy of this new moon to do some daydreaming. Throw all limitations and “shoulds” to the wind and think about who you would like to be and what you would be doing if you could do and be anything you want. Visualize it and let yourself really feel how you would feel if that vision became a reality. Journal about it, draw it, listen to music that evokes that feeling!
Every wonderful thing begins with a simple thought. Thoughts become dreams, dreams become goals, and goals become reality! Make sure to try plenty of new things and experiment with different ideas. Think of it like buying clothes, it’s always a good idea to try on at least a few different pieces before you decide to buy
Pile 4 – Black Agate
You’ve been hard at work on something for a long time, and you may be questioning your decision. This is a huge confirmation that you are on the right path! We are living in strange times right now. Everything seems to take much longer and require so much more sustained effort than it might have previously.
Remember, when you plant a seed, it must build a healthy root system long before it breaks through the soil. I don’t think it will be long before you start seeing some sprouts if you haven’t already. They’re just sprouts, so not exactly ready to harvest, but it’s nice to see a little growth, especially if you’ve been wondering if maybe the seeds might have failed entirely.
Use the energy of this new moon to tighten up the little details and find ways to make your processes more efficient. This will make things a lot easier for you when things start to get busy. It might also be a good idea to keep a journal of your work to help you see the little bits of progress that will help you stay on track when things don’t seem to be going well.
Most of all, have faith in yourself and your higher power. Your commitment and dedication are what really make things happen. You’re doing an amazing job, so keep it up!
