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.
The Virgo New Moon 
A New Moon in Virgo may inspire you to focus on self-improvement and organization. This is a time when you might feel motivated to set new goals, particularly related to health, work, or daily routines.
Virgo’s influence brings a desire for order and efficiency, so you might find yourself more inclined to clean, declutter, or start a new project that requires attention to detail. It’s also a good time for reflection and making practical plans for the future. The energy of this New Moon encourages being thoughtful, helping you to create positive changes in your life by paying attention to the little things.
New Moon Solar Eclipse 
We have another eclipse this month! Since it’s the New Moon, this will be a Solar Eclipse – that means that the moon will pass in front of the sun during the day, blocking out the light for the regions that will be able to see it. This is only a partial eclipse, so unless you live in New Zealand or Antarctica, the eclipse will not be visible to you.
Does this mean you can’t work with the energy of the eclipse? No! That will depend entirely on your belief system.
Within witchcraft, there is no right or wrong way to practice during an eclipse. Some people believe you should never work magic during an eclipse while others find it an auspicious time to get the energies flowing. Whatever choice you make, know that the decision is all yours!

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!
