Second Virgo New Moon of 2025 and Solar Eclipse

When we experience two new moons in the same sign – we have the opportunity to learn more about the qualities of that sign. 

The Virgo New moon Solar Eclipse happens at the very last degrees of Virgo and in less than a day, we tip over into Libra Season, which is also the Equinox – in the northern hemisphere we enter autumn.

How can we bring our Virgo lessons into our relationships / our partnerships? 

Virgo asks and says . . . 

• What do I see and hear? What is that telling me about my relationships?
• What is the order in this chaos? Can I relate to others without trying to control the outcome?
• What does my gut tell me? Is this person/place/relationship good for me/us?
• What if the tiniest tweak sparked the best possible outcome? How can the tiniest tweak improve my connection with others?
• What is the perfect ritual for this situation?
• What if I am of service?
• What if everything is perfect exactly as it is?

Phrases connected with Virgo:

• I ritualize.
• I diagnose.
• I perfect.
• I polish.
• I classify.
• I serve.
• I discern.
• I utilize.

Free Write

To prepare for the upcoming new moon cycle, consider free-writing for 5 or 10 minutes on each question and/or phrase that stands out for you.

Free-writing is simply deciding on a time frame to write and write on the prompt without stopping for the time you have chosen. Even if you meander off-topic, keep writing. If you get stuck, you can write – “I’m stuck” or write the prompt out again (and again and again if necessary) until new words flow. The trick is to keep your hand moving for the time frame you have decided on. Don’t worry about grammar or punctuation, just write. 

The flow of writing let’s you get past your inner critic. Allow yourself to do the writing without judgment. You might find your responses surprise you. 

Using the Moon for Co-creating with the Cosmos

NEW MOON –  Time to use your imagination.  Unseen potentials. Seed. Set Intentions. 

FIRST QUARTER – Seedling pushes through dirt. Nurture, observe, Review, weed, take action. 

FULL MOON – Full Flower, Full Awareness, Celebration. Commit. Still time to weed. 

LAST QUARTER – Harvest. Reap rewards (or karma). Sort, review. Mix new seeds with prize seeds

Lunar Gestation Cycles

The moon also travels in lunar families with each quarter happening every nine months. The New Moon begins the Lunar family. Each nine month quarter is a great time to look back at the last nine months to see how much you have grown, what you would like to let go, and what you would like to harvest.

I have found that many of the intentions I set on or around a given new moon come to fruition around two to three years later – while some adventures begin about nine months after setting the intention.

I have been working with the moon phases since the 1990s. I love tracking time with the moon! 

If you are interested in going deeper in working with moon cycles and want to learn more – I am currently reading and recommend a book by Sydney Francis that is chockfull of wisdom and embodiment exercises called Activating Lunar Alchemy: The Mystical Art of Transmuting Your Emotional Pain Into Spiritual Abundance.

I do tarot readings that bring in the astrology of the lunar cycles and your birth chart. See:

Astro Luna Tarot;
Annual Lunar Path Tarot; and
Super Moon Magic Tarot.

Enjoy Virgo/Libra time!

Peace and love –
