We can observe the phases of the moon with the naked eye, making them among the most fascinating astronomical behaviors. This article will look at the New Moon in Virgo 2025. It includes a “creation activity” associated with the sign of this New Moon. The idea originates from Jan Spiller’s book: New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.
Astrology finds them to be deeply rich sources of thought and interpretation. Among the 9 phases – New, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter Half, Waning Crescent, and Balsamic – the New and Full Moons capture most of the attention.
New Moon – Let’s Start Something!
The Virgo New Moon will occur on August 23rd at 00 degrees and 23 minutes. In my Eastern Standard Time zone, it will happen at 2:06 am.
It takes 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. Just before the New Moon begins, the 3 days of the previous moon phase is the Balsamic Moon. That period is ideal for meditating, reflecting, and releasing; all in preparation for the New Moon.
The first 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon begins is the best time to initiate energy. We will explore each New Moon using Jan Spiller’s suggested actions to take advantage of this period of inspiration.
The energy of the New Moon perfectly suits embarking on a first date, exploring novel experiences, and visiting uncharted places. It’s an opportunity that unfolds each month, inviting you to synchronize your actions with the fresh beginnings. Keeping track of the New Moon allows you to deliberately engage in something new. Take the time to initiate a project aligning with the Moon’s unique energies as it travels through different signs.

This New Moon will occur at 00d23m of Virgo, making its Sabian symbol 1 Virgo. “A man’s head.” Marc Edmund Jones says, “This is a symbol of full maturity in human estate, with an emphasis on the personal integrity which represents in general what all men are asked to be in particular. The ideals of an inner life are given their outer manifestation through some self-accepted responsibility on which others can count. Ambition has its high dignity here in the distinction with which it endows those who remain most faithful to its exactions and thereupon become most conscious of its rewards.” The key word is: CHARACTER.

The Numbers of This New Moon in Virgo 2025
This New Moon happens on 8/23/2025, so the number is 22, a master number, which reduces to 4. The Virgo New Moon, illuminated by 22/4, invites you to build lasting stability through purposeful service and intentional living. Virgo’s discerning influence supports clarity and devotion, encouraging you to construct a life rooted in integrity and wellness. With 22/4 guiding this lunar cycle, it’s a time to ground your vision through thoughtful action. Additionally, create systems that support your higher calling using practical steps. Trust your wisdom, honor your process, and commit to a path that feels meaningful, aligned, and truly sustainable.
The Major Arcana cards for the number 4 are The Emperor (4) and Death (13). They embody stability, transformation, and the balance between control and necessary change. The Emperor teaches the Fool the value of structure and the power of building a solid foundation. He offers security and order, establishing the framework for lasting success. Death then challenges the Fool to release what no longer serves, embracing transformation to create renewal. Together, they reveal the wisdom of both stability and evolution.
The New Moon occurs on the 23rd of the month, which reduces to the number 5. This is the number of change, adaptability, and personal freedom. Paired with the grounded energy of Virgo, this lunar moment invites you to refine your routines. Also, you need to embrace growth and welcome new possibilities with intention. The 5 inspires exploration and versatility, while Virgo’s earthy wisdom brings discernment and purpose. Use this New Moon to set intentions that support meaningful change—through habits, healing, and service. And, commit to building a life that is flexible, fulfilling, and aligned with your truest values.
New Moon Wishing (A Tribute to Jan Spiller’s Work)
I deeply appreciate the practical applications of astrology. And one gem is Jan Spiller’s book, “New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.” Spiller emphasizes that wishing is not mere idle desire but a conscious act of responsibility. To harness this energy, you must be aware of the New Moon’s timing in your time zone. Once you know it, write your wishes within 24 hours after it becomes new.
Once the New Moon’s energy is underway, it’s essential to take pen to paper. Though digital options abound, handwriting your wishes and intentions is integral to the energy ritual. Spiller advises crafting 3 to 7 wishes, depending on the New Moon and your life circumstances at the time. Aligning your statements with the New Moon’s sign when you write your intentions adds an extra layer of potency.

New Moon in Virgo 2025: Wishes/Intentions
Sit down somewhere you can be comfortable, get your favorite pen, and write your wishes/intentions. Wording is very important, and Spiller suggests starting each sentence with, “I wish/want …”.
During the New Moon in Virgo, consider the following wishes:
I wish to align my daily habits with clarity, purpose, and inner peace.
I wish to step into greater self-trust through thoughtful planning and grounded action.
I want to deepen connections through acts of service, attentive care, and sincere communication.
I wish to bring order and balance to my routines in ways that support my overall well-being.
I want to cultivate a life of purpose and stability by honoring the details and living with quiet devotion.
After jotting down your wishes, find a meaningful place for to keep them and revisit them periodically. Placing them in a journal or a special box by your bedside is a wonderful choice. Remember that the choice of paper and the pen you use play a role in this process. Being deliberate in every detail is key.
Happy New Moon Wishing!
