New beginnings are exciting, but they also require work, and the upcoming new moon in Virgo of 2021, occurring on September 6th at 8:51 a.m., ET, will remind us of this. Providing the practical energy needed to move forward, Virgo energy supports dreams and wishes only materializing with the help of daily practice, repetition, and work. With that in mind, the Virgo new moon of 2021 aims to inspire more focus on the details of life, helping us to identify what should be tweaked in order to improve the larger picture in our lives.

In astrology, a new moon occurs when the moon and sun form an exact connection in the same sign, causing the appearance in the sky to look like the total absence of a moon. This cosmic event initiates a new lunar cycle, representing beginnings, fresh starts, and new perspectives.

With this new moon in Virgo of 2021, expect daily tasks and busy work to increase with a focus on health, aligning with back-to-school time.

With this new moon in Virgo of 2021, expect daily tasks and busy work to increase with a focus on health, aligning with back-to-school time. This particular new moon will form a close connection with the planet of action, drive, and ambition, Mars, anchored by Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, providing stability and a solid foundation for change. The new moon is also forming a realistic opposition with Neptune retrograde in Pisces. The need to get organized, or restructure certain habits or daily routines is also in order: Now’s the time to get down to business after a playful season in Leo.

Keep in mind that change creates an energetic space for growth and opportunity: The universe is clearing out what no longer is in alignment in order to attract what is, and we can expect sudden shifts and surprises over this two-week energetic window. This is sparked by the grand earth trine connection between the new moon, Mars in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus retrograde, and Pluto in Capricorn retrograde. This is a harmonious planetary alignment in astrology that provides a stable portal to easily manifest the harvest from past work. New decisions, contracts, and discussions surrounding financial value and worth can be a focus, too.

We can also expect improvements surrounding love, relationships, or business contracts. The planet ruling over love and agreements, Venus, will be comfortable at home in the sign of Libra and forming a beautiful connection with lucky Jupiter in Aquarius retrograde. Venus and Jupiter are the two positive planets in astrology, and when well-aspected, they can make our lives easier. Expect past opportunities to resurface, relationship breakthroughs, and expansive beginnings.

The new moon in Virgo of 2021 is also an energetic cleansing bringing all of us a dose of much needed renewal and drive.

Virgo

The new moon is in your sign and is empowering you to shift and change what has held you back. As a more reserved sign, this time is revealing what or who deserves to stay and go. This could be moving away from work or love partnerships that no longer personally serve you. As a result, this leaves room for a positive and more beneficial collaboration to come your way. Use your Virgo superpower of discernment, and make the right decisions for you.

This is also a positive time for finances and earning an income. You have put in the time, dear Virgo, and now you deserve to reap the benefits of it. This could be through a creative work collaboration or team effort. Remember to take the practical approach when it comes to managing and organizing this newfound income.

Libra

It’s time to get real and clear out health, work, and daily habits that no longer serve you, Libra. The new moon is uncovering where you have poured too much of your energy, encouraging you to channel your focus in a healthier direction. This might look like making through a change in your wellness routine, or making more time for rest in your work schedule. The key is balance and putting yourself first; health is wealth, after all.

Now is also a lucky time for you in terms of creative projects, big investments, or matters regarding children. This depends on your own individual situation, but breakthroughs are underway in those areas. If you have children or are working through fertility issues, there can also be progress in this area, too.

Your new moon affirmations: I focus on what feels right to me, and I place boundaries when I feel at ease.

Scorpio

Now’s a time to make your dreams come true, but not without a bit of practical work and elbow grease first. The new moon is providing productive energy, activating your future vision, and giving you the grounding energy to make them happen. A new creative project or idea could fall into your lap through an important contact from your network. Sudden changes through contracts or agreements can also occur at this time, so ensure that you are reading the fine print.

Now is also a time of emotional relief, and seeing an improvement in your health and work schedule. Balance is key, and taking a step back when you are feeling burned out or exhausted. A new daily routine can breathe new life into your work—especially the relationships you have with colleagues and those that you work with.

Your new moon affirmations: The universe is opening the doors to my dreams and wishes. I set my intentions on the highest timeline.

If you have been working on an original work project or idea, now is when you can feel a breakthrough and the motivation to complete it. Expect sudden changes in your schedule or how your day is structured—this is needed to accommodate the professional elevation coming your way.

This is also a beneficial time to tap into your network; others can help your big ideas come to fruition, too. New meetings, discussions, and conversations can develop with influential past contacts, making now a great time to land on solid decisions. Remember to listen to what resonates with you and move in this direction.

Your new moon affirmations: My career is elevating, and the universe is granting me with abundance for my efforts.

Capricorn

The new moon in Virgo of 2021 is encouraging you to seek knowledge and expand your consciousness. You can be influenced to seek a certification course, or enter a continuing education program in order to solidify and widen the breadth of your skills. On the other hand, you can feel called to share your wisdom and knowledge by teaching or facilitating training yourself. Either way, this is a time of positive growth and solid focus.

The opportunity to travel (potentially for a work-related reason) can also present itself for some Capricorns. Expect sudden changes to pop up during your travels, but nothing that can’t be handled with patience. Your career is flourishing, and the cosmos are helping you to influence others. A promotion or leveling up in status in your life path is also in the stars. You’ve put in the work, and deserve it.

Your new moon affirmations: As I lay the sturdy foundation for my work, opportunity and abundance easily flows towards me. All of my bills are always paid.

Aquarius

Practical matters will come to the forefront, and the devil is in the details. If you have been handling legal matters, shared resources, or setting debts, the universe is giving you focused energy. The good news is that the new moon is resolving what has been outstanding and providing you with movement. Remember to analyze and use discernment—you will make out well.

This is also an expansive time for you in love and creativity. Perhaps an endeavor you’ve been working on now receives a wider audience. The key is to tap into your unique flair, and creative truth. People will be receptive to what you have to offer, thanks to the magic from Venus and Jupiter. If traveling, some Aquarians could meet a love prospect abroad, while others can make new friends and indulge.

Your new moon affirmations: Love always flows towards me. I attract positive projects and ideas that help transform and change the collective.

Pisces

Relationships are in the energetic spotlight for you, Pisces. You typically go with the flow, but the new moon is providing you with clarity and rational decision making in relationships. A new opportunity can suddenly come up to move towards a relationship or contract that feels in alignment with you. This could be in work or romantic relationships. If single, this time can also change your mind surrounding what you need to feel fulfilled in a bond.

Improvements in finances can also develop during this time. Debt relief, receiving money back on an investment, legal matters, or marriage can all be themes for you. While this is a sudden turn of events, it’s providing you with forward momentum. Remember to give the details a look before making new decisions.

Your new moon affirmations: I always advocate for my needs in every relationship. Balanced and harmonious bonds only come my way.
