Daily Horoscope: New Moon in Virgo, August 22 & 23, 2025

New Moon in Virgo, Friday, August 22nd, and Saturday, August 23rd, turns the discerning and problem solving skills of this mutable Mercury ruled earth sign toward self reflection, the uncovering of subconscious fears or blocks, and the healing of trauma which will enable an initiation into a new level of conscious transformation, empowerment, and change as the moon conjunct the sun at zero degrees of Virgo form a Yod (aka Finger of God) aspect pattern with Saturn conjunct Neptune, both retrograde, at zero and one degree, respectively, and Pluto retrograde at one degree of Aquarius, while squaring Uranus at one degree of Gemini. Something new is definitely in the air at this New Moon, but it has probably been there all along, and you just couldn’t see it, or it is something within you that was buried so deep, you needed the passage of time and experience for the layers to be excavated in order to discover or remember something elemental and essential you sensed, but just couldn’t embody and express fully. The moon and sun are also trine to Chiron retrograde in Aries, supporting any method of healing you may choose to utilize at this lunation. Saturn: work, materiality, discipline, mastery, history, tradition. Neptune: beauty, healing, inspiration, spirituality, victim, savior, martyr, memories. Uranus: change, freedom, uniqueness, genius, invention, individuality, technology, humanity, fame and infamy, the future. Pluto: power, control, crisis, upheaval, catharsis, death, transformation. These are the heavy hitters requiring you to step onto a path that leads you to another level as they join their qualities cooperatively through a Grand Trine and Kite aspect pattern, directing your concerns to the areas of life they govern, wherever they are currently transiting through your natal chart – and that is why life seem busier than usual, and you feel short of time. Pressure IS being brought to bear, but the planets are poised to act as midwives to new ways of being and doing. This Virgo New Moon will instill a pragmatic mindfulness that puts you at the observation center of your thoughts and feelings, past, present, and future. It is an especially powerful Black Moon, sending a direct message through the Yod – “Be still, and know that “I AM” God.” The work of expanding your awareness and raising your vibration may not be easy, but a T-square aspect pattern of Venus in Cancer, Chiron, and Pluto, makes you instinctively sense that there is danger in remaining stuck in a comfort zone, or being willfully ignorant, too long. Mars in Libra at the tail of the Kite opposing Saturn and Neptune at the top of the Kite, and squaring Jupiter in Cancer, influences you to choose and create growth and harmony in all your relationships, or to let go peacefully and move on, if that is not possible. The moon in Virgo, Uranus in Gemini, the North Node in Pisces, and the South Node in Virgo are all in mutable signs, which could present you with multiple options and distractions externally, but when you make time to go within this weekend, and invite the spiritual realm to meet the needs of your material world you will discern your safest and best path forward.
