A Virgo New Moon will be happening on 23 August 2025, 0 Degrees 23 Minutes in Virgo. It’s especially important if you have any Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces placements, and if at 0 to 3 degrees. Or if you have any Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius placements at 27 to 29 degrees.
While challenging for the mutable signs, it’s very beneficial for the Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, or if you have any placements in these signs at 0 to 3 degrees. As well as the fire signs, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius at 27 to 29 degrees.
So for Virgo and Leo placements, this will depend heavily on what planets you have in Aquarius and Leo, as well as their dignities. It could be both helpful and challenging.
It’s also useful to look back at what was culminating during the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo back from 14 March 2025, Blood Moon. You’re now starting a new cycle, or specifically topics regarding the house in which you have Virgo in.
Here’s a quick summary if you know your rising sign.

Virgo
Mutable earth. Ruled by Mercury. Both exalted and domicile here in Virgo. Humble and social. Organised and reliable. Analytical. May be prone to obsessing over details. Likes ‘fixing’ things even if it’s not recognised, as long as they themselves know ‘I fixed that’.
On an evolutionary perspective, has finished learning lessons relating to one’s ego, moving out Leo. But as the ego lessons are finished, now it’s time to purify that inflated ego. Now in Virgo, it’s as if in an inverted pyramid diagram where they feel as though one is at the bottom of the pyramid. Here to help and service others, almost disregarding one’s own needs. With unconscious guilt, fulfilling others’ needs instead of oneself. Also not yet moving on to Libra, where it’s off to partake in the world, to be collaborating and forming partnerships with others. Not on a dominant or subservient basis but on an equal level.
Virgo Moon
May analyse one’s emotions. Still an earth sign, generally composed and understands the full story before acting out. Even when they do act out, it’s not as explosive or as emotional as the Fire and Water signs. But rather more passive-aggressive.
They function best when things are orderly and organised. But may have a tendency to want to control things, but that is just so that things around them remain organised or become ‘fixed’. They like to help others, to be of service to them, but may struggle with knowing when to help and when not to help.
Virgo New Moon
A new cycle pertaining to how we have gone about our lives. This could be picking up new habits, new health regiments, organising our environment or having a new routine in place in our daily life. Especially since this is at 0 degrees, we’re going to experience this new moon energy in its purest form, in this case of Virgo. Having a new routine that aligns with your inner values and to your higher self will prove very positive in the long run, especially for the next 6 months.
This is also in preparation for a Solar Eclipse which will also be in Virgo, 22 September but at 29 degrees. While both are new moons, the energy will be very different. This new moon is at 0 degrees, a very new and raw Virgo energy. At 29 degrees, we’ve been through the process, we’ve done the Virgo work needed and now it’s more ‘crisis’ related. We’ll talk more about it when it comes.
Aspects
New Moon Squaring (Challenging) Uranus in Gemini
This is a challenging aspect. Uranus in Gemini wants to spark change, whether in the way we communicate with others or regarding our own personal beliefs that we truly believe in.
With the new moon making a square aspect, we may be resistant to this change or trying to fit that change into our daily lives, piling it on and being too occupied with everything that’s going on in our lives that we are not taking care of ourselves, eventually leading to burn out.
What we need to do is to analyse our situation. Our habits, our routines, the practicality of everything that’s going on in our lives. Also of what change are we trying to add on in our lives? How is it going to mesh with everything else that’s going on? Do you need to remove one thing in order for the change to be able to take place? Or is this change too uncertain that you prefer routines that you have been stuck with that has been tried and tested?
You’re pushed to allow the change to happen, to embrace the unknown and allow for new energies in your life.
Mutual Reception – Sun in Virgo, Mercury in Leo
This is a very good aspect. Mercury in Leo wants to think and communicate for oneself, to assert one’s dominance, outspoken. Mercury here also wants to speak to get attention, then be applauded or at least appreciated for whatever one says. Up until 1st September, Mercury will be in Leo with that mutual reception with this new moon. Thereafter, it will move into the sign of Virgo where it’s domicile and exalted, allowing us to be analytical and discerning in a very healthy manner. We’re able to communicate and think on a more practical and stable note, allowing us to work towards goals that we have set for ourselves in our everyday lives.
Up until then, the Sun in Virgo is more of an inward energy, perfectionist, wanting to take logical steps to what one does.
This is going to be a very balanced energy. There’s a ‘balance’ of outward and inward energies, enabling one to speak logically with a certain presence that may not have been evident before. One will not plainly speak for the sake of fulfilling one’s own ‘ego’ satisfaction but speak for the sake of being of service to others and helping others in some way.
It’s also about not being so discriminatory about everything, but communicating and being more light hearted with that Leo energy.
While Virgo wants to plan everything beforehand, take one step at a time, slowly, analysing things and then putting plans in place, Leo’s energy will drive that process forward more, instead of constantly being stuck in revision mode. Especially since Mercury in Leo is in a sextile (positive) aspect to Mars in Libra, we’ll be able to act more upon a balanced way, one which will enable us to not analyse so much about the next step, but to actually put things in place as long as it pushes us ahead.
So wherever Leo and Virgo falls in your chart, expect a mesh of both energies working together. Generally favourable, but still best to look at your own natal chart placements.
Secondary – Planets in Cancer
On a secondary level, the moon is ruling Cancer with Jupiter and Venus in the sign of Cancer. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer while Venus is making a square aspect to Chiron retrograde in Aries. Trust in yourself. The foundations you have built up so far, the support you have from people around you. The only thing holding you back is your sense of self and how you’re going to take action, or the lack of it.
What To Take Note Of
Organise Your Life
Good time to get things in order. Start a new routine. Implement some sort of wellness regime. Organise everything that’s going on in your life. Fix whatever you deem needs to be ‘fixed’. Start asking yourself what do you need to do or start in your daily life, in order to achieve a certain goal in mind that is achievable in the next 6 months.
Discriminate
Apart from routines, what areas in your life requires a fresh new take? Is it the way you communicate? The way you express yourself? Or of your own identity? The way you go about relating to others? Or about your family environment and what you need in a home setting? Or friends that are no longer helping you in life?
Don’t Overanalyse
Not everything needs to be ‘perfect’. Take things one step at a time. Virgo energy has a tendency to want to control things, have everything figured out and planned beforehand. Especially since this new moon is at 0 degrees, this quality will be amplified. Note that the South Node is still in Virgo, with the North Node in Pisces. While some planning is definitely needed, it’s important to know when you’re overdoing the planning, instead of actually doing the work and taking steps forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out right now. You’ll never be ‘ready’, so just do it.
Self-Love
Do not forget to ask yourself what you need. This is not about helping others, or giving yourself up to others. This is about you. What do you want to do that will enable you to feel better? To take a rest, to take a break, or to go on that solo trip? Give yourself the time, to yourself. The ‘void’ that you have will not be filled by another, but instead when you learn to have more self-love. We may feel more lack of something during this period that will hold us back in achieving what it is we want to do. So it’s good to remind yourself, you’re good, it’s all well, I’m enough.
It’s always useful to know what your rising sign is, then using that to see where Virgo falls in your chart. The house and topics associated with it will be greatly affected by this Virgo New Moon.
