New Moon In Virgo Horoscopes – September 15, 2023

2.311

Every year around Aug. 23, the sun charges into Virgo territory, inspiring us to collectively and individually get our responsibilities in order. And because Virgo rules the sixth house of health and routine, this lunation brings forth a fruitful time to revamp your physical and spiritual rituals and focus on wellness. New moons are all about resetting and reflecting, and given the earth sign’s grounded energy, there will be extra emphasis on recharging your batteries so you can move forward as your best self. This is a chance to evaluate what’s been working (and what hasn’t), so you can build a future with those upgrades in mind.

Virgo has a reputation for being overly critical, but it’s only because self-improvement is extremely important to them. That said, it’s important not to obsess over perfection when reinventing yourself. If you find this lunation triggering self-critical thoughts, try to give yourself some grace.

September’s new moon in Virgo right as Mercury begins to move direct again on Sept. 15. That means Mercury retrograde’s shadow period — which primes us for the hiccups of its backspin — is still in full effect. This time, the Mercury retrograde in Virgo has been holding up a magnifying glass to our wellness, daily routines, and inner balance, so it’s a good time to reflect on how you’re caring for yourself emotionally and physically.
