The new moon in Virgo occurs Friday, August 21, 2025 at 0° 23 minutes of the sign of the Virgin. This occurs at 11:07 PM Pacific time. The Sun will also enter logical,methodical, practical,exacting,loyal,metaphysical,health conscious and work/ task oriented Virgo early in the afternoon on the Pacific Coast. This is a powerful Moon now activated by the slow moving retrogrades of Saturn, Neptune,Pluto,and (soon to be) Uranus. There is a strong feeling of anticipation: the need for proactive planning and sweeping change even as things have slowed down to a crawl during these Dog Days of summer. This as a continuation of Mercury’s post retrograde shadow ( over on Aug. 25th THANK G-D) ) is augmented by the effects of so many outer planets, moving very slowly or in retrograde. They are at early degrees of the signs into which they have just entered. We’ve had so many shifts ;Saturn into Aries,Neptune into Aries Uranus into Gemini, and Pluto into Aquarius. These are sea changes, not seen for at least 500 years and all activating the Minor Trine AKA the magnificent Magic Triangle between Uranus Neptune and Pluto. This will energize personal as well as planetary Shifts. It acts as a model new moon in a configuration that brings optimism, hope, positive change, and good results. Remember, Virgo is not diligent, hard working and consistent for no good reason! This New Moon is all about taking action as a solution to the dreadful frenetic energies and stress we have all undergone this Summer. This Lunation promises continuing dramatic change as we move towards Uranus Retrograde on September 1st, and two MAJOR ECLIPSES in September.
The August 2025 New Moon in perfectionist Virgo gives us a sense of urgency bordering on anxiety that will compel getting into action, leaving words behind; fast paced and fast acting that gives us almost no time for preparing or overthinking about the consequences. We are galvanized into Action! Positively it provides clarity, alertness, motivating experience, a persistence and determination as well as the necessary courage to make our Dreams into Reality. Breathe and Namaste
