Every so often, I think of a phrase my Virgo father used to say: “A new broom sweeps clean.” He often said this when it was time for a fresh start (or spring cleaning). The New Moon in Virgo on August 23rd feels like the ideal opportunity to grab the broom and clean up – whether this be your nest or your act. This lovely lunation arrives in the wee hours of the morning, at precisely 2:07 AM EDT. Even if you’re asleep, you might feel like something wants to stir. Perhaps you’ve longed for a life change for some time. Or maybe a recent situation nudged you to seek a different way. Maybe there is nothing you can put a finger on – you simply know that it’s best to declutter, clear, and prep the ground.
Virgo is an Earth sign, and New Moons are for beginnings. This combo is unbeatable for planting new seeds. What do you want to grow? Where would you like to improve your life – or yourself? Scatter those seeds, trusting that the Universe will provide everything you need. While Virgo may not be considered a “fertile” sign, it does yield beautiful blossoms.
There is no better day to deep clean your home. Scrub it from top to bottom. Get rid of the crap you’ve outgrown or no longer use. Polish everything until it gleams. Open every window and air it out! Make your lair an inviting, cozy space for you and your loved ones.
This New Moon is the best for starting a health regimen. Join a gym, eliminate junk foods, and make appointments with your health care practitioners as well as your dentist. Put your well-being first, and you’ll be better able to deal with the current hellscape we’re forced to live in.
It’s also a nifty lunation for finding new work. If you’re in need of a new job or vocation, update your resume today. You might receive an answer sooner rather than later.
A gnarly aspect between the Moon and Uranus shortly after creates unpleasant surprises or disruptions. Do not let this disturb your Zen. Stay the course. Your new beginning is straight ahead.
