VIRGO NEW MOON
GETTING BACK INTO FLOW

We have passed the eclipse window and the energy seems to be much calmer and more focused as we reach the Virgo New Moon. This is the perfect opportunity to get back into flow, reset your goals and set your intentions for the rest of the year.
There is something unusual about this September New Moon. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is rooted in a lunisolar calendar and begins with the new month of Tishrei, while Ethiopian New Year falls at almost exactly the same point in the seasonal calendar.
This year, these different traditions of renewal converge around the September New Moon, making it a natural point in the year to reassess, reorganise and begin again.
However, this isn't simply a New Moon for setting intentions.
With Mars giving it momentum, Jupiter and Saturn supporting longer-term growth, and Mercury, Virgo's ruling planet, changing signs while making connections with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus, there is a strong emphasis on taking stock, seeing things differently and making practical changes that can actually last.
So this is a great time to get your daily life back in order, returning to routines that support you. Use the practical Virgo energy to deal with all those things that may have been pushed aside over the summer, especially paperwork and filing, finances, health or simply getting better organised.
You may also find that new opportunities begin to emerge, whether through work, a change of direction, a creative project or a new relationship. Rather than needing to have everything mapped out immediately, this New Moon is a good opportunity to notice what is beginning to take shape and where your energy naturally wants to go next.
September is also harvest season, and this Virgo New Moon is a natural time to take stock of what has grown, what has borne fruit and what hasn't.
Cast your mind back to March and consider what you were hoping for or working towards then. Six months later, what has changed? What has come to fruition, and what no longer feels relevant?
For some of us, 2026 has been a year of shake-ups and change, and as we approach the final quarter of the year, we may finally begin to see the dust settling and get a clearer view of where things stand.
If the summer months have felt slow or sluggish, this New Moon brings a much more focused energy for moving things forward. Work and creative projects can begin to gather momentum again, making the rest of September a particularly good time to put plans into action.
Take some time in nature and let this harvest season help you reconnect with a sense of abundance and flow, especially if August and the eclipse period felt challenging.
Sometimes simply stepping outside, slowing down and allowing the natural world to reset our perspective is enough to help things feel clearer again.
A Monthly Shamanic Moon Ritual to help you stay connected:
The New/Full Moon energy is potent the day before, the day of, and the day after.
Find some time in your day when you can be quiet and undisturbed. Have a notebook or some paper and a pen nearby and, if possible, do this outside in nature.
Sit comfortably and take three deep breaths. As you exhale, consciously let go of any stress or tension you may be holding in your body. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your breath, then slowly become aware of the sounds around you. If your mind begins to wander, gently bring yourself back to the present. Everything else can wait for a while.
Now begin to mentally go through all the things that need your attention. Don't worry about how or when you are going to do them and don't judge whether they are important enough to be on the list.
Simply allow everything to come into your awareness. The purpose of this exercise is to bring what may have been sitting in the background of your mind into the open, where it can be dealt with more easily.
When you feel complete, open your eyes and write down everything that came up, however small or mundane it may seem. Sometimes it is the simplest unfinished task, such as making a phone call or replying to an email, that has been taking up far more mental space than we realise.
Once you have your list, begin to prioritise it. Start with the things that are easy to complete and then work towards the larger or more complicated tasks.
Be realistic about what you can achieve and give yourself enough time. This isn't about creating another overwhelming to-do list, but about bringing some order and clarity to what needs your attention.
Then take a few moments with each task. Close your eyes and imagine it already completed. Notice how it feels to have it dealt with and no longer sitting in the background of your mind.
Try not to get caught up in how or when it will happen. Simply connect with the feeling of completion and trust yourself to make the space for what genuinely needs to be done.
Keep your list somewhere accessible and cross things off as you complete them. Take a moment to acknowledge each one rather than immediately moving on to the next. Gradually clearing even small unfinished tasks can create a surprising amount of mental space and help you feel more organised and focused.
You can also use this New Moon to look at one habit that is no longer serving you and make a commitment to change it, even if you begin by doing so only until the next New Moon.
Virgo is traditionally associated with routine, discipline and wellbeing, so this is a good time to introduce something practical that supports your health or daily life, whether that is a new form of exercise, changing the way you eat, starting a new hobby or simply creating a routine that feels more supportive and sustainable.
I will end this Lunascope with the wise words of John Muir:
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”

Join me for this Virgo New Moon Ceremony and use this powerful reset point to clear some energetic space, clarify your to-do list and consciously shape the rest of your year.
After the intensity of the recent eclipse period, the Virgo New Moon brings a calmer, more focused energy and a powerful opportunity to reset, reorganise and get clear about what you want for the rest of the year.
This New Moon Ceremony will give you the space to step out of the noise, take stock of what has changed since March, recognise what is coming to fruition and get clear on what action needs to be taken.
Virgo energy is practical and grounded, so we will work with intention, reflection and integration to bring greater clarity to the areas of life that need your attention and create realistic intentions for the months ahead.
If 2026 has felt unsettled or the summer months have been slow, this is an opportunity to get back into flow and move forward with greater focus and direction.
