Ready for a fall season pare-down? On September 2, 2024 (at 9:56 PM EDT), the selective Virgo new moon reveals what should stay and what should go.
Make-better vibes flood in on September 2 when the year’s only Virgo new moon pumps inspiration into your most mundane tasks. Now’s the time to make life simpler and sweeter.
Just in time for back-to-everything season, the September 2 Virgo new moon helps us get our lives into efficient and streamlined shape. Although it’s happening on the Labor Day holiday in the U.S. the motivating energy will linger on through the week. Take a moment on Monday to set fresh objectives. Over the coming two weeks, you can map out your strategy, from timelines to budgets to the division of labor.
The Virgo new moonbeams help you pare down and prioritize
Apply a “clean and green” ethos everywhere, from household cleaners to what goes on your dinner plate. Get your fall fitness in motion, especially if it stalled during the Summer 2024 Mercury retrograde. Start by investing in some gear—then get out for a walk or complete your first satisfying workout.
If you’re surrounded by chaos, don’t just contain it; tackle it head-on. Those distracting piles and unchecked messages take up a lot of mental energy, yes, even if you think you’re ignoring them. Make a thrift store drop, meal plan, do all that laundry, and scrub the baseboards. You’ll thank yourself for Virgo’s demure and mindful energy as you start spending more time indoors.
And while industrious Virgo prizes efficiency, it’s not without a dose of earthy sensuality. So turn your “wax on, wax off” routines into luscious rituals. The little things make all the difference now. Check out our Virgo new moon rituals for ideas!
In love, the Virgo new moon makes giving feel so good
Acts of service are a love language when the moon is in Virgo.
There are always more nuances to discover about the one you adore. But have you stopped searching for those? See what happens if you approach your favorite people with a beginner’s mindset. Treat them with the same curiosity you would a stranger.
If your busy life has cut into the quality time you once spent together, make some changes now. How can you align your schedules and support each other more? If you keep passing each other like ships in the night, you could both drift off to other ports. Invest energy into time together to fortify your connection. How can you make everyday rituals, like working out and eating breakfast, bonding opportunities.
