New Black Moon in Virgo - Energy Report
New Moon in Virgo

Feeling restless, like something is off?
Well, that’s all of us then!
This seasonal “Black Moon” is something we don’t experience often, the last one was in May 2023.
What does it mean?
An astronomical season is defined as the period between an equinox and a solstice, or a solstice and an equinox. This 23 August 2025 black Moon is a seasonal black Moon.
That's because the current astronomical season began with the June solstice 20/21 June 2025, and ends with the September equinox on 22 September 2025.
There are four new Moons within this season: 25 June, 24 July, 23 August and 21 September.
That's why the 23 August 2025 new Moon is a seasonal black Moon.
Spiritually, a Black Moon represents an amplified New Moon energy, signifying a powerful time for deep shadow work, fresh starts, and amplified intention setting. It is a period for inner transformation, encouraging the release of old patterns to create space for new growth and alignment with our authentic self. The rarity of this event adds to its energetic potency, making it an ideal time for spiritual breakthroughs and cosmic resets.
We are also being bombarded with intense solar flare activity which some of us are sensitive to. If you are feeling flat, overwhelmed, brain fog, can’t pinpoint exactly why, yep. Solar effects. Make some time for self care and good nutrition, it really helps with this time of year as the earth’s magnetic field also develops cracks from now until the end of September. We will be feeling the challenging effects to our well-being!
You may also feel like thoughts, people or situations of the past are suddenly popping up to challenge you, and this is exactly how to see them, challenges we experienced and learned from, knowledge we harvested. We aren’t regressing, going back, quite the opposite.
This new moon energy coming in is a much needed, fresh spiritual window of time to receive some energetic assistance with all of that. It is also a real opportunity to boost our willpower and listen to our own intuitive guidance about any health challenges we may be experiencing.
This is a time for deep questioning, focusing on our spiritual progress and the evolution we crave despite the challenges we face.
Health discipline and focus on creating meaningful personal transformation will be easier today. If we are serious now about what we want and ridding our lives of what we do not wish to focus upon any longer, we will create constructive change and build new possibility in our lives.
Questions we may ask ourselves on this new moon:
Digestive focus – how may I improve my gut health?
How may I be of service to help others, how may I mentor or inspire by example?
What is still of value to inspire gratitude within me?
What is no longer serving a purpose?
What is working well for me and needs to be brought forward more?
The energy of this day may also give us a little mischief and some challenges in staying out of distraction but it also gives us some good feistiness. Wherever we need to channel that energy into a positive peaceful warrior stance for ourselves, or on behalf of those who are marginalised...
Allow it to power your optimism and action.
The Phoenix is a perfect totem for today – whatever happens we shall rise and transform using this energy, however it may initially make us feel.
Relationships are also highlighted, especially any imbalance within an existing relationship – if you aren’t happy, you’ll be identifying and acting upon what’s not working. You may especially feel a prompt to change your own behaviour patterns as a result.
Use this catalyst moment - Even if you just sage your home and light a white candle with the intention set of cleansing energy sweeping through your life, it’ll be powerful stuff on this new moon.
Of course, I’m here if you wish to book yourself in for a little amplified cleansing work…
Until next time
New moon blessings!
