Virgo New Moon: It’s Go Time

Dear Beautiful Soul,

If you’ve been feeling like you’re standing on a bridge but you haven’t quite crossed over yet, or standing in a doorway staring into the next chapter without actually walking through it, you are not alone. I think a lot of people are sitting right there right now. You know something has changed. You can feel that you’re not meant to go back to what was, but there’s still that weird little space between knowing and doing. And that space can become really comfortable if we let it. We can call it preparation. We can call it timing. We can call it waiting for the right sign. Hell, we can call it “being responsible.” 😂 But at some point, you have to cross the damn bridge.

The Virgo New Moon on September 10 feels different. This isn’t another pause to reflect on what you might want to do.
This is the point where we actually start moving. It’s finally GO time!
Seriously. We’ve just swept up the mess we left behind from the last 18 months with the Pisces Full Moon eclipse, and then 9-9 came along just the day before with one last big ‘release that bullshit and make room for the new shit’ chance!

I’ve been saying for months that this Year of the Fire Horse is going to ignite what is aligned and whatever isn’t even more uncomfortable, and I think we’ve had plenty of opportunities lately to see exactly where we are.

Virgo Is About Discernment

I have to admit something about Virgo energy.

I think I’ve been a little prejudiced against Virgos. 😂 And then I realized why. I’ve experienced Virgo energy through its unhealthy expression, so when I thought of Virgo, my brain immediately went to perfectionism, criticism, getting caught up in the details and trying to control how everything is done.

But that isn't the whole story.

The higher expression of Virgo isn't perfection. It's discernment and refinement.

And that distinction makes this New Moon make a hell of a lot more sense.

Virgo doesn't actually ask us to perfect everything. It asks us to look honestly at what is working, what isn't, what needs refining, what needs to be released and, most importantly, what actually matters.

That is discernment.

Perfectionism says, “I need to get every single detail right before I can move.”

Discernment says, “I've looked at this honestly. I know what matters, I know what doesn't, and I know what needs to happen next.”

When Preparation Becomes Procrastination

Because there is a point where preparation stops actually being preparation.

You can research the thing. You can think about the thing. You can make a plan for the thing. You can ask for another sign about the thing. You can pull another card, journal about it, talk to three friends about it and then decide you need to sleep on it one more night.

At some point, honey, you already know. 😂

The question is whether you're actually discerning what needs your attention, or whether you're using the details to avoid making the decision.

That’s the shadow side of Virgo. Getting so wrapped up in making everything perfect that you never actually get around to doing anything.

Healthy Virgo knows when enough is enough. So let's all channel some healthy Virgo energy this New Moon!

We’ve analyzed it. We’ve figured out what matters. Now let’s do something with it.

The Combined Energies

Here are some interesting points about the combined energies surrounding this New Moon.

Uranus going retrograde in Gemini the same day as the new moon can help us see things more clearly and see possibilities we may not have considered before. With Mercury moving into Libra, there is also a little more balance around how we think through things and make decisions. And unlike a Mercury Retrograde, Uranus Retrograde is going to hang around for roughly five months, so there will be plenty more thrown into the mix as this unfolds.

And if you're still rethinking your foundations, your structures or what you actually want the next chapter to look like with Saturn still in Retrograde, that's okay too.

Nobody said you have to run a marathon today. Just move forward.

Your next step might be tiny. It might simply be making a decision you've been avoiding. It might be changing one thing that you already know isn't working.

You don't need the entire staircase in this spiral ascension of life mapped out! If you have the next few months planned out, great. If not, for today let's work on just that first step on the stairs.

What Are You Still Waiting For?

So ask yourself honestly: What are you still waiting for?

What do you already know but keep talking yourself out of? What decision have you been circling? What have you been saying you'll start when the timing is right? And what would happen if you stopped waiting to feel completely ready and simply took the next right step?

That step might be making the appointment, having the conversation, sending the email, raising your prices, starting the project, setting the boundary, saying no, saying yes, ending something that you already know is finished or finally beginning something you've been talking about forever.

Getting moving is not the same thing as moving in the right direction.

That's why I don't think this New Moon is about blindly rushing forward. It's about knowing what you're leaving behind, knowing what you're moving toward and then actually taking action.

Do the Work in the Physical

I talk about this all the time because I believe it so strongly: you have to do the work in the physical to support the metaphysical.

You can clear energy, release old patterns, meditate, journal, pull cards, work with crystals, ask for guidance and connect with your intuition. All of those things can support you.

But eventually, somebody has to get off the couch. 😂

If your intuition is telling you something needs to change, eventually something in the physical has to change. If you know you need to have a conversation, eventually you have to have it. If you've been shown a new direction, eventually you have to put your feet on the path.

This is where I think Virgo becomes incredibly practical. Take what you have learned, take what you have cleared, take what you have realized and bring it into the physical.

The metaphysical can show you the door.

You still have to walk through it.

Your Crystals for the Virgo New Moon

Here are the crystals I am working with for this new moon:

Black Moonstone

Black Moonstone is always a new moon go to for me but this time it feels extra special.

There is something about working with a stone that reminds us that we don't always have to see the entire path before we take the first step and to trust our inner knowing to guide us there. Sometimes we're standing at that threshold, knowing something is changing, even though we can't quite see what's waiting on the other side yet.

Labradorite

Labradorite is the other new moon go-to crystal for me. It's a stone of transformation which is perfect for this new moon - you have to move to transform. I also love it for protection and connection.

Fluorite

Fluorite is perfect for this new moon as it is literally known as The stone of discernment.

Fluorite is amazing when you need to clear the mental clutter, focus your thoughts and separate what actually matters from all the noise. I always reach for this stone when I have a lot of "extra" stuff going on - extra drama, extra chaos, you know - the extra that is out of my control.

Not every thought deserves your attention. Not every problem needs solving. Not every option needs to be analyzed to death.

Sometimes clarity comes when we stop adding more information and start trusting ourselves to recognize what is actually important.

Red Jasper

Red Jasper is my favourite grounding stone, and I wanted to make sure we are moving forward feeling centred and aligned. With all of the extra energy we've experienced this year I thought it made sense to bring in a stone that will keep us on the ground!

Red Jasper reminds us that we can be grounded and still move forward.

Carnelian

And then, of course, there is Carnelian. 🔥

I have already been calling this The Stone of 2026, and I can't think of a better crystal to have around when the message is IT'S GO TIME.

Carnelian brings that spark of courage, motivation, worthiness and action. It's the crystal I think of when you've spent enough time thinking about what you're going to do and you're finally ready to do the damn thing. 😂

Sometimes we don't need another sign. We just need a fire lit under our ass.

Want to see these crystals up close?
I've put together a YouTube video with close-ups of all five crystals so you can actually see them, not just read about them. Come take a peek and see which one is calling to you. Check out my youtube channel.

Ready, Set, GO

I don't think this New Moon is asking us to have everything figured out.

I think it's asking us to stop confusing preparation with progress, while also remembering that movement without discernment isn't the answer either.

We've done the reflecting, the clearing, the looking at what no longer belongs. We've had all kinds of opportunities to see what is aligned and what isn't. I don't know about you, but I am getting sick of writing about that and you must be sick of reading it! I am SO glad the energy is finally moving forward, and so am I!

Maybe you're still standing in the doorway. Maybe you're still looking across the bridge. Maybe part of you is wondering if you're actually ready.

Maybe you're not ready and if that is your truth then that is totally ok! I always say start where you are and go from there.

But you can be discerning. You can trust what you know.

And when you're ready to take even that tiny step - take it with the confidence of knowing that you deserve all of the love, joy and abundance this world has to offer - we all do.

Ready. Set. GO.

Remember, the new chapter isn't waiting for you to become perfect - none of us are perfect. But we either move forward or regress. We don't stand still longer than it takes to integrate.

Ready to stop standing in the doorway?
If you know something needs to change but you're having trouble figuring out what comes next, that's exactly the kind of work I love helping people with. Whether you need clarity, energetic support, or someone to help you see the patterns you may be too close to see on your own, you don't have to figure it all out alone.

You are holding the key. I'm here to help you use it.
