Not like June’s vibrantly named Strawberry Supermoon or the Sturgeon Supermoon that got here earlier this month, the subsequent astrological occasion on our calendars would not have any particular title. That is becoming, nonetheless, because the new moon in Virgo — which arrives on Saturday, August 27, 2022 — falls beneath a powerful but low-key signal of the zodiac.

Virgo is the diligent, industrious employee of the zodiac, solely eager to be of service and to contribute to the better good not directly, whether or not huge or small. Those that fall beneath this signal are referred to as perfectionists, typically carrying the fame of being fairly onerous on themselves (and others, at instances), however we love them for his or her detail-oriented and analytical minds.

So, what does this new moon imply, and the way will this specific place affect us?

First, the Distinction Between New Moons and Full Moons

To recap our rationalization from our July new moon in Leo: New moons are after we plant and plan, whereas full moons are after we harvest, power culminates, and we be taught new and sudden issues. To be clear, the metaphor I’m utilizing right here is planting an precise small seed, not shopping for a younger plant from a nursery to plant within the backyard or shopping for one other succulent.

I lately obtained a reminder that the seed is barely the start. My husband and I planted wildflowers and it took them a very long time to develop — longer than I had anticipated, definitely — they usually wanted to be watered each day at first. Once they appeared, they didn’t all come out as anticipated. The lesson: In the event you plant a seed with a view to begin one thing on a brand new moon, it doesn’t assure success. Like a seed, the undertaking (or aim, relationship, no matter) should be nurtured and guarded.

So, whereas new moons are a very good time to begin one thing, this doesn’t imply we are going to instantly see a outcome — the fruit of your labors, if you’ll (sorry, however agricultural metaphors typically match completely inside conversations about astrological affect and occasions). Whereas new moons aren’t essentially all the time a very good time to take motion, they’re an exquisite time to discover, brainstorm, journal, do analysis, and meditate. Keep in mind: These actions are nonetheless transferring you ahead, even in the event you aren’t making any onerous and quick choices.
