New Moon in Virgo on September 3, 2024: No Beating Around the Bush
"What I know for sure is that when you get rid of what you don't need, whether it's in your home, your mind or your heart, it's amazing what will flow into that space, enriching your life and the lives of your family."
— Peter Walsh
On September 3rd we will have a New Moon at 11°04' Virgo, the last one before the eclipses of September and October begin . Everything comes at the perfect time, and if this lunation is happening now it is because it has something to teach us.
If we have been accumulating behaviors, objects, people or habits that only complicate our lives, this lunation will be a balm. It is time to become aware of everything that distracts us, makes us unproductive and wastes our most valuable resources: energy, emotions, time, health . Therefore, this New Moon in Virgo gives us a refreshing opportunity to get rid of everything that is superfluous, complicates our existence and prevents us from moving towards what is really important .
A Message That Is Far From the Obsession With Order
For planets in Virgo, order is not an end in itself. Virgo seeks self-sufficiency, agility, clarity, and efficiency . Order is simply a means to achieve those goals . Therefore, it is important to let go of the idea that this New Moon will lead us to become obsessed with order, to become manic or controlling. These behaviors have nothing to do with the true essence of Virgo, since they are usually born from an unbalanced emotional component. Virgo, being an earth sign, focuses on practicality and the tangible , not on excessive emotional reactions. To take advantage of the energy of this lunation, the first thing we must do is understand the true essence of this sign, whose meaning is often distorted.
Have We Stopped to Think What Self-Sufficiency Really Is?
Efficiency and self-sufficiency in the context of Virgo and the earth element refer to the ability to operate optimally within the limitations of the physical plane . Efficiency means using available resources in the most effective way possible, without waste, ensuring that every action has a clear purpose . Self-sufficiency involves being able to meet our own needs with what we have at hand, without being overly dependent on others. On the physical plane, these qualities allow us to inhabit the world freely, without feeling that we are blocked or limited by its laws. Virgo energy teaches us to work within the rules of the tangible, to make the most of them, and to turn the limitations of the physical plane into advantages . Rather than seeing these limitations as obstacles, Virgo shows us how to make them work in our favor, optimizing our resources and abilities to live more fully and consciously in this material world.
How Do We Apply This to the New Moon Phase?
The New Moon phase is a powerful time for manifesting goals and desires, as it symbolizes a new beginning and the opportunity to plant intentions . During this phase the Moon is completely dark and there is little visibility, which represents a metaphor for having to make our way with courage and when there are no certainties of any kind. Our instinct and our ability to visualize are what will shape the outcome of our aspirations. Because we are talking about a New Earth Moon, it is time to work on three-dimensional manifestations.
Corresponding Sabian Symbol: Virgo 12, "A Bride Whose Veil Is Torn Away"
The zodiac degree where this New Moon occurs is associated with the Sabian symbol "A bride having her veil torn away." This symbol speaks to us of taking initiative with courage . In order to manifest what we desire in the physical world, we must be intentional, direct and clear, often acting quickly so as not to miss opportunities . This symbol highlights the courage needed to enjoy the physical plane , reminding us that a ritual like a wedding, which is sacred, is also deeply connected to desire and material reality.
The Sabian symbol for Virgo 12 invites us to recognize that fulfilling our physical desires—whether for food, sex, money, etc.—is both legitimate and sacred. This is a symbol of swift and decisive action, amplifying the Virgo energy of eliminating what is not essential or efficient. It encourages us to not feel guilty about our desire to manifest what resonates with our essence in the physical world and to rid ourselves of all that has separated us from those desires in our actions .
To make the most of this lunation, we will need to do some honest self-criticism: if we have failed to manifest certain goals, it is likely that we have blocked ourselves through a lack of courage, proactivity, efficiency or clarity. The act of “tearing away the veil” symbolizes the removal of illusions and direct confrontation with reality as it is , in order to start from what we have and begin to build from there. This is not a Sabian symbol of timidity; during this lunation, we must not be lukewarm in our actions or in our aspirations .
Opposition with Saturn RX in Pisces
During this New Moon in Virgo, we find ourselves in opposition to Saturn retrograde in Pisces. Saturn, the ruler of time, discipline, and responsibility, confronts us with the need to review how we have handled these aspects of our lives . This opposition gives us a valuable opportunity to reflect on situations in which we may not have been sufficiently disciplined or responsible, which has affected the results we desire. Now, we have the chance to become aware of our faults (without punishing ourselves, please), and commit to a long-term goal that our heart desires; something tangible and meaningful.
As the Sabian symbol of Virgo 12 reminds us, it is time to act with courage and determination and realize that sooner or later, all the effort we put into that manifestation will bear fruit . It is important to remember that the tangible aspect of this New Moon does not refer to superficialities (these are what we must remove in this lunation), but to goals that connect the physical world with the sacred, recognizing the divine component in the manifestation on the physical plane . This opposition invites us to clearly intend what we want to manifest, project it in the long term and develop a realistic and persistent plan to achieve it .
Whether we want to improve our health, reconnect with our sex life, align our lifestyle with our values, or manifest a business or greater prosperity, this opposition guides us to set solid, conscious goals. It also reminds us that the path to manifestation is not linear; setbacks and setbacks are part of the process , and we shouldn't give up when they appear. Instead, we should stay focused and committed to our true aspirations.
