Another month has come and gone. With the movement through the calendar, we have come to the next New Moon of the year. This month, September shows us rest and reflection in the sign of Virgo, the Virgin. The sky grows dark with the New Moon hidden from sight. The beauty of a dark sky is shown in the abundance of stars we can now see. Though we may miss the light of the moon in the sky, a New Moon reminds us that when we take time to slow down, we can see more of the little things around us that bring beauty to the world.
Depending on your time zone, the New Moon will be on 2024-09-03T01:55:00Z. Find the exact time of this month’s New Moon here: Moon Calendar from Astro-Seek.
What Is A New Moon?
If you need a recap of what a New Moon is, click here! 🌑
Astronomically speaking, a New Moon is the period of time when the moon is at 0% illumination. The Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth. This causes Earth’s shadow to fully cover the Moon leaving the night sky in darkness.
There are several different beliefs regarding the New Moon and witchcraft. Some witches believe this is the time to start new projects. Others believe it is a time of rest and recovery where no magic should be done.
What does a new moon symbolize? This is a time of introspection, self-analysis and reflection. An opportunity for a fresh start and a New You. - New Moon Rituals (Spells8)
The Sign Of Virgo
Virgo is known for being practical, hardworking, and detail-oriented. This makes them more likely to help those around them, even noticing the little details others might have missed. Virgo is also well-known for their organizational skills. They pride themselves on being neat and tidy, striving for perfection in the things they do. Though they might seem perfect, this perfectionism can be their downfall because they can become overcritical of themselves. They have high standards for themselves and others which can make them appear hard to please.
Virgos also have big hearts – they are kind, caring, and empathetic, all traits that make them wonderful friends and partners. They are reliable and will always go above and beyond to help those they care about. Virgos are also naturally curious, so they enjoy learning new things and are often very good at analyzing situations to find the best solution.

Rest and Recover
Just like everything else in life, rest and recovery are important. While it might seem counterproductive to spend this New Moon in rest mode, this can actually be a vital part of your routine refresh or practical goals! After all, it is much more difficult to be your best self if you are burnt out or exhausted!
Remember, the energy of the New Moon isn’t just for the one day that it reaches its peak. Personally, I give myself a three-day window for the New Moon: the day before, the day of, and the day after. This works well for my practice and it may work for yours, too!
