Virgo New Moon: Eclipse Portal Opens
We’re standing at the threshold of a powerful time: the Virgo New Moon, exact on August 22nd at 11:06pm Pacific (or August 23rd, depending on your time zone). This isn’t just any New Moon — it opens the portal for eclipse season and promises fresh beginnings, new downloads, and a vibrant invitation to align with your most authentic truth.
Virgo New Moon Energy: What’s Awakening Now?
This new moon sits at 0° Virgo — the very first, purest spark of Virgo energy. Virgo is the sign of precise detail, grounded earthiness, and service to others. It invites us not just to “get things right,” but to do so with compassion, wellness, and integrity — both for ourselves and for the collective.
But the cosmic cocktail doesn’t stop there! Here’s what’s amplifying the energy:
Sun & Moon Square Uranus in Gemini: Opportunities for surprising insights (or challenges) that help us step deeper into our truth. Remember, use your voice from your heart, not from reaction or ego!
Yod (the “Finger of God”) Activation: Cosmic forces (Pluto, Neptune, Saturn) conspire for radical new beginnings. If friction arises, be willing to look with new eyes, revisit old stories, and receive fresh insights.
Conjunction with Fixed Star Regulus: The “Heart of the Lion” energies from Leo are still pulsing, calling you into heart-centered, courageous, vibrational leadership—no matter your role in the world.
Practical Guidance for This Portal
As eclipse season begins, the universe may present you with challenges designed to help you clarify your values and root deeply into your purpose. Instead of reacting, this is a perfect time to:
Go inward: Listen for your personal truth.
Speak from your heart: Align your actions and words with that truth.
Stay present: Challenges are medicine for your growth and collective elevation.
New Moon Ritual Inspiration
We ended the episode with a special four-directions meditation—inviting the elements and archangels to support your intentions for this lunation. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, calling in the energies of Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and their angelic guardians can amplify your clarity and intention-setting.
Try This:
Take a mindful moment this week. Stand barefoot on the earth, breathe deeply, and call in the energies of the four directions. Plant your intentions for this lunar cycle and feel the support of the cosmos rallying behind you.
