New Black Moon In Virgo

🌑 New Moon in Virgo – August 23, 2025 (Australia)

On Saturday, August 23rd, 2025 at 4:20pm AEST, the skies over Australia bring us a powerful New Moon in Virgo. This isn’t just any new moon – it’s a Black Moon, meaning it’s the third new moon in a season of four. This rare event only happens every few years, making it extra potent for fresh starts and new beginnings.

Virgo’s energy is practical, earthy, and detail-oriented. This lunation encourages us to get organized, reset our routines, and clear away the clutter—both physical and emotional. It’s a time to take stock, simplify, and set clear, realistic intentions before September’s eclipse season brings more intense cosmic shifts.

✨ Planetary Influences

This New Moon doesn’t stand alone—it comes with a few powerful planetary alignments that shape its energy:

• Square Uranus (in Gemini): Expect the unexpected. Sudden changes, surprises, or breakthroughs could shake up your usual plans. Flexibility is key.
• Tension with Pluto (in Aquarius): A push-pull between letting go of control and embracing transformation. Power struggles may surface, but they’re here to guide you toward growth.
• Saturn & Neptune (retrograde): A reminder to balance dreams with practicality. Illusions may fade, offering a clearer path forward.

🌙 What It Means for Each Zodiac Sign

• Aries – Time to tidy your routines and focus on health and wellbeing. Small changes now create big rewards.
• Taurus – Love, creativity, and passion are highlighted. Start new projects or rekindle romance.
• Gemini – Clear out emotional baggage at home. Create space for harmony in your private life.
• Cancer – Speak your truth with clarity. This moon supports honest conversations and new learning.
• Leo – Review finances and values. Ground yourself after birthday season’s celebrations.
• Virgo – Your reset moment. Set intentions that align with your true self—new habits will stick now.
• Libra – Step back and recharge. Spiritual practices or quiet reflection bring clarity.
• Scorpio – Your network and friendships are spotlighted. Align with groups that truly support your growth.
• Sagittarius – Focus on long-term goals and career moves. This is the start of a fresh professional cycle.
• Capricorn – Expand your horizons. Study, travel, or personal growth will feel extra rewarding now.
• Aquarius – Deep transformation is stirring. Financial matters, intimacy, and emotional renewal are in focus.
• Pisces – Relationships take center stage. Set healthier patterns in love and partnerships.

This Black Moon in Virgo is a cosmic clean slate. In Australia, it’s the perfect weekend to reset your intentions, simplify life, and prepare for change. While Uranus may bring surprises, the Virgo energy helps us respond with grace and practicality.

Think of it as a moment to plant seeds of order, clarity, and healing—ones that will grow stronger as eclipse season approaches.
