"Under August’s Virgo New Moon, we are called to embrace mindful growth, nurturing our dreams with patience, clarity and devoted rituals, turning intentions into steady, lasting transformation"
The New Moon this month falls on August 23rd AEDT, in the sign of Virgo.
With the New Moon in Virgo marks the beginning of a fresh cycle, one centred around wellbeing, intention and self-love rituals.
It’s that, “get your life together” energy but from a place of nourishment, not pressure as Virgo invites us to grow through presence, not perfection.
What to expect
This Virgo New Moon is your cosmic clean slate. It's less about transformation through spectacle and more about transformation through intention, clarity, and steady devotion. You’re invited to plant seeds, not of perfection, but of aligned progress, well-being, and grounded growth.
Virgo energy is one of the most powerful signs for manifestation, but in a very grounded, practical, and intentional way. While some signs manifest by dreaming big or taking bold risks, Virgo manifests through clarity, routine, and devotion.
What to do:
Declutter
Virgo thrives in clear, intentional environments. Decluttering is energetic magic right now, both physically and mentally.
- Clean & reorganise your room
In Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice that harmonizes your environment to support the flow of energy (or chi) for balance, wellbeing and aligned outcomes. Your physical space reflects and influences your internal state, so when it's clear, intentional and energetically aligned, it becomes a powerful foundation for manifestation and success.
- Digital Declutter
This practice is just as powerful as clearing physical clutter, it frees up mental space, boosts focus and aligns your energy with clarity and intention. Delete unused apps & accounts that drain your energy.
- Morning pages
This practice helps clear mental clutter by allowing you to pour out unfiltered thoughts, worries, and ideas onto paper before the day begins. This daily brain dump creates mental space, improving clarity, focus, and emotional balance.
Prioritise self-care rituals
Virgo energy thrives on routine & devotion so by creating consistent practices that nourish your body, mind, and spirit, you harness Virgo’s grounded focus to plant seeds for lasting wellbeing and personal growth.
- Create a dedicated space
set up a cosy corner, altar, or nook with your ritual products tools visible. Having these sensory ques reminds and invites you to slow down, practice and tend to your rituals.
- Affirmations
Invite presence and mindfulness into your ritual by speaking affirmations into your rituals. Let each affirmation be a gentle reminder of your worth, your intentions, and the energy you are calling in.
What not to do:
Neglect rest
The strong pull to “get everything in order” during this Virgo new moon can sometimes overshadow your body’s and mind’s deeper need for rest and restoration. True manifestation requires more than just organisation and action, it asks for grounded, replenished energy, because your intentions can only take root and flourish when they are supported by balance, presence, and a calm inner foundation.
Clutter your intentions
Virgo energy works best with precision and focus, so trying to manifest too many things at once can scatter your energy and dilute your results.
