The new moon is rising in the sign symbolizing clean lines, the side eye, and self-improvement.
The New Moon in Virgo will arrive on Monday, September 2, 2024 at 9:55 p.m. Eastern Time, bringing with it a call to understand, instruct, set direction, and cut off anything that hinders, defeats, or compromises growth.
Virgo is synonymous with ritual purification, and the energy of this New Moon is primal; it's about sweeping temple floors, anointing the body, ironing robes, and dipping candles.
And while Virgo has a virgin symbol and a virgin in the sky, maybe it's time to rethink this concept. Virginity isn't what you think, folks – but more on that later.

Meaning of the New Moon in Virgo
While this moon's fresh and finicky influence offers a prime time for intention-setting and plan-making, this New Moon is forming a nearly exact opposition with father planet Saturn, so you might feel like your efforts aren't coming to fruition.
Keep in mind the classic image of Virgo holding a chaff of wheat in her hand and take to heart: Friends, you've got to start with the seed before you can see the harvest.
Being an Earth sign, Virgo is pretty good at staying grounded and grinding; however, right after this New Moon, Mars, our planet of desire and war, will form a tough — and not in a sexy way — square with Neptune, the planet of psychic visions and crippling illusions.
This square can express itself as confused exhaustion and/or exhaustion confusion. However, if you can prioritize rest, protect yourself from energetic vampires, and ensure that your active plan is based on self-worth and the unshakable belief that you deserve more, then you are made in the shadow.
Virginity needs rebranding
As stated earlier, the Virgo sign has always been associated with the virgin, but as explained by archetypal astrologer Rebecca M. Farrar, MA – aka the Wild Witch of the West – reminds usO.G. Meaning of Virginity This has nothing to do with purity and more to do with sovereignty.
“The word virgin comes from Latin meaning 'unmarried girl, maiden.' It wasn't used to denote a lack of sexual experience or simply chastity until around 1300. In Greek translations, the word virgin meant 'one unto herself.'”
As Farrar explains, like virginity, Virgo energy is not something that can be given or taken, but rather, it is “an expression of wholeness and divinity.”
She says that the virgin goddesses of antiquity – such as Athena, Artemis, Hestia and Vesta … and perhaps the Virgin Mary – had lovers but never husbands. By being themselves, they were never closed off, lived not in lack but in liberation.
This actually complicates the virgin/whore dichotomy on which the patriarchy wearily teeters. But I digress.
If we embrace this idea of freedom, this New Moon encourages us to step fully into self-control and consciously separate ourselves from people and practices that impede it.
Just like virginity is not related to the hymen, the girlish energy is not related to being flawless.
This is the final lunation period before the gates open and the eclipse season begins, and it prompts us to act in service to ourselves, who we are, and what we can become.
Pay attention to the Virgo New Moon baby and the ways of the singer-songwriter Fiona Apple: “I have a very strong instinct to nurture myself, keep track of my development and grow into the person I want to become. I've tried to keep corruption to a minimum.”
Virgos are considered perfectionists, which is an understatement, because the truth is that these folks can't help but see the potential in all things and all people. In the contemplative darkness of this New Moon, we too can show up in a similar way, if we're willing own Possibility.
Latin origins Potential means power, and really, nothing is more powerful than what can happen right now. Virgo has an unfair reputation for being rigid, but in reality, as a mutable earth sign, there is no energy supporting meaningful change.
And just like virginity isn’t about the hymen, transformation isn’t about being quick – and Virgo energy isn’t about being flawless.
The biggest lesson of this new moon is that perfection is a static peak, while growth is a constant state of development and improvement. In this way, we can accept ourselves as we are and aspire for more.
