The Virgo New Moon that occurred today, August 23, 2025, at 2:06 AM EDT, is one of the most important resets of the year. At 0° Virgo, it opens a fresh doorway and a chance to release what no longer serves, realign with your inner compass, and plant seeds of devotion that will unfold over the next six months.
This New Moon reminds us that transformation doesn’t have to be dramatic. It can begin with small acts of care, daily rituals, and the simple choice to honor what feels aligned. To guide this energy, I turned to the Enchanted Map Oracle deck and pulled a spread for clarity, healing, and intention. I hope this resonates with many of you as well.
1. What needs to be cleansed so clarity can emerge? Rock Bottom
This is indicating that an old path has reached its end. Whatever habit or belief you’ve been clinging to is longer an option. This is something no longer works. Let it dissolve. The cleansing that needs to occur is about surrender and acceptance. Release the need to force solutions and allow yourself to step back so clarity can break through where struggle has kept you stuck.
2. What message is this New Moon delivering? Sacred Pool
You are being reminded that your outer world is mirroring your inner state. If you nurture compassion, forgiveness, and self-acceptance, these are the things that will ripple out into everything you create. The message is that this is a cycle to honor your inner reflection, to recognize your worthiness, and reset from a place of wholeness, rather than lack. Focus on self-love and self-esteem.
3. What invisible support is guiding me? Magical Map Shifter
Here the unseen is very much at work. This card appears when people, synchronicities, and circumstances arrive to re-direct you toward your soul’s true path. Spirit is re-arranging your “Map.” Your invisible support comes through unexpected encounters, shifts in perspective, or helper who appear when you them. Trust the redirections. They are Divine.
4. What seed or intention am I planting now? Compass
This card is about aligning with your True North. The seeds you are planting aren’t just external goals. It is deeper intention to stay true to your inner compass. You are committing to discernment and making choices that align with your highest values. The intention is to orient your life toward what is deeply aligned, no matter how small the steps.
5. What will emerge in six months? Wide Open
Six months from now the energy shifts into expansive freedom. “Wide Open” promises new opportunities, fresh connections, and an ability to step into life without the old restrictions that held you back. You’ll be more free to embody your true self, to open to possibility, and to welcome experiences you once thought unreachable.
The Virgo New Moon is a reminder that every ending contains the seed of a beginning. By surrendering what no longer works, you clear the space to realign with your soul’s compass. The cards show that unseen support is guiding you, and that the choices you plant with intention now will grow into freedom and new possibility by the Virgo Full Moon six months from now.
May this cycle invite you into gentle devotion, daily rituals of care, and the courage to walk your true path. I would love to hear how this New Moon is unfolding for you. Please feel free to share your reflections with me.
AFFIRMATION FOR THIS CYCLE:
I align with my True North. With clarity and devotion, I plant seeds that will grow into freedom and possibility.
