On August 23, 2025, we have a New Moon in Virgo, at 0°23' of the sign.
Typically, throughout the year, we have a New Moon in each sign, and also a Full Moon in each sign. However, this year the sequence is altered: there was no New Moon in Capricorn, and instead, we will have two New Moons in Virgo. The first is this one on August 23, and the second will be the solar eclipse on September 21.
This makes the two lunations in Virgo a kind of two-act play . What begins now will conclude in the next. Furthermore, this first New Moon kicks off eclipse season , as the first eclipse will occur within this same lunar cycle on September 7.
Virgo is a sign often associated with efficiency, simplicity, and clarity , but this time there will be other elements that make the tone of this lunation escape the "classic" Virgo style. This New Moon is unpredictable, unstable, and even disruptive. Thus, we can expect surprising beginnings (either in themselves or in the way they occur) that will prepare us for the outcome on September 21, when the solar eclipse will finally show us where this process is taking us.
The elements that define this New Moon are:
- It occurs in exact conjunction with the fixed star Regulus (0°10').
- It takes place in lunar mansion number 12.
- This New Moon is the apex of a yod .
- Sun and Moon are in square to Uranus in Gemini (1°22').
This New Moon will affect us all, but Its impact will be greater if you have planets or angles within 28° of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) and 2nd of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces).
New Moon: Beginning, Intention and Germination
In the lunar cycle, the New Moon represents the point of minimum visibility : the moment when the Sun and Moon are in exact conjunction and the illuminated side of the Moon is hidden from Earth. This configuration marks the beginning of the lunar month and symbolically embodies the principle of seeding, of initial impulse, of unrevealed power . As Dane Rudhyar points out in The Lunation Cycle , it is here that the fundamental intention of the cycle is set, even if what is brewing is not yet visible. The Moon disappears from the sky—and with it, part of consciousness—leaving space for the new to slowly and quietly emerge.
From a symbolic perspective, many cultures understood it as an instance of purification or recollection, where time is suspended and what is important happens on the internal plane .
Astrologically , the New Moon signals a convergence between the solar and lunar selves: intention and emotion aligned, but not yet critically distant . Still, with the New Moon, we often feel the energy strongly guiding us toward something (which we will eventually discover as the lunar cycle progresses, or even later). Energetically, the New Moon is a seed. Like any seed, it requires darkness, patience, and silence to take root. Therefore, this phase is not a time for external action, but for internal listening .
Virgo: Technique, Efficiency and Pragmatism
Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac, with an earth element and a mutable modality . As an earth sign, it focuses on the practical, functional, and tangible. Its mutable nature makes it a quick, restless, and adaptable energy , capable of handling multiple situations at once.
It's difficult to imagine an earth sign with a mutable modality. Earth is usually solid, stable, and rigid; mutability, on the other hand, is changeable, flexible, associated with endings and multiplicity. This paradox is best resolved if we imagine Virgo as sand . While Taurus can be represented as a compact expanse of land and Capricorn as a firm mountain, Virgo is this airy, light, and mobile sand.
In pop astrology, Virgo is often simplified as "controlling," but this is meaningless. From a psychological perspective, the need for control appears as a defense mechanism against uncertainty: one controls oneself to avoid the unexpected. Mutable signs, on the other hand, represent exactly the opposite: their function is to adapt to change, coexist with instability, and navigate between multiple options .
Ruled by Mercury , Virgo is not oriented toward the exchange of information for its own sake (as in Gemini), but rather toward applied analysis . Its focus is on detail and technique : it is the ability to perfect a tool, a practice, a craft. In classical astrology, this sign is associated with artisans, scribes, and experts in various disciplines and procedures. Its driving force is not recognition, but the self-sufficiency that comes with mastery of a method.
On a collective level , Virgo governs areas where society functions based on precision and service: the working class, inspection systems, public administration, the pharmaceutical industry, food production, healthcare, scientific research, and medical technology. It is also linked to the Armed Forces and any structure that requires technical discipline rather than individual prominence. Collective order depends on these pieces fitting together.
On a personal level , Virgo energy is expressed in the capacity for analysis, in the care and enjoyment of the body, and in the development of habits that optimize daily life. It connects us with the observation of symptoms, with the way we eat, rest, and organize our time. It is the sign of technical mastery and practical self-sufficiency: when we manage to organize ourselves, life flows in a dynamic, stimulating, and productive way. At its best, Virgo is self-sufficient, and from this completeness can serve others without expecting anything in return. At its weakest, it can get lost in excessive detail, equating perception with criticism, or the inability to make room for emotion within its very rational way of perceiving reality.
In short, Virgo's energy reaches its greatest potential when analysis, mastery of technique, and method cease to be mere tools and transform into freedom and self-realization. In Virgo, perfecting oneself and developing the best version of what one can do transforms the physical and tangible into a sacred act. This self-completeness does not remain within the individual: it finds its ultimate meaning in serving society.
Conjunction with Fixed Star Regulus (0°): Power, Honor, Legacy
This lunation occurs in exact conjunction with Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo. Its name comes from the Latin regulus , "little king," a diminutive of rex (king), and since ancient times it has been known as the "Lion's Heart." With a magnitude close to 1, Regulus is one of the brightest and most auspicious stars in the night sky and is part of the so-called Four Royal Stars of Persian tradition, along with Aldebaran, Antares, and Fomalhaut. Each of them was located in the celestial cardinal points more than two millennia ago and was considered the guardian of a direction: Regulus corresponded to the North and symbolized royalty and divine protection.
Astronomically, Regulus is not a single star but a quadruple star system : its main component, Regulus A, is a blue-white star of spectral type B, which rotates so rapidly that its shape becomes flattened at the poles; three other smaller stars orbit it. It is located about 79 light-years from Earth.
In astrological tradition, Ptolemy describes it as having a Mars-Jupiter nature: courage, power, generosity, and leadership ability, with risks of excessive pride and abrupt falls if that power is used selfishly. Medieval authors reinforced its association with royalty, honor, and public fame: visible success, but always conditional on maintaining moral integrity . When that integrity is lost, the star symbolizes spectacular falls : "from the throne to the ground" is a recurring phrase in ancient texts.
The conjunction of this New Moon with Regulus intensifies the feeling of facing a beginning fraught with important consequences on both the collective and personal levels. Regulus acts as an emblem of power and visibility: what begins under its influence is noticed and leaves a mark. On a collective level, it activates dynamics of leadership, legitimacy, and prestige ; on a personal level, it can bring opportunities for advancement, recognition, and achievement, but also tests of character where humility and ethics will be decisive. The power of this star admits no half measures: it confronts us with the need to act with clarity and purpose, aware that every choice under its influence leaves a legacy.
Lunar Mansion 12: Al-Sarfah – The Shift or the Turning Point
(Don't know what lunar mansions are? Read the full guide here .)
This New Moon occurs in the 12th Lunar Mansion, known in Arabic tradition as Al-Sarfah , whose name translates as “the change” or “the turning point.” This mansion extends from 21°26' Leo to 4°17' Virgo , and marks the passage from the end of Leo to the beginning of Virgo. It is, literally, a symbolic boundary between two signs: the proud display of Leo and the practical efficiency of Virgo.
In Arab tradition, Al-Sarfah is associated with a time of transition, where ruptures, reorientations, and redefinitions of direction occur. Needless to say, it is not a space of stability. It is also attributed with the quality of "cutting short" processes: what was developing can be shut down, interrupted, or shift in another direction. Hence, it is considered an ambiguous terrain, capable of generating both losses and openings to new paths.
In astrological practice, this mansion speaks of moments when continuity is broken. Situations that seemed secure or defined change course , and what seemed solid becomes shifting sand. Pay attention to the headlines during these weeks: we will see surprises.
Al-Sarfah, as a symbol, places us on the threshold of the inevitable . Its traditional imagery refers to the lion losing its strength with the end of summer in the northern hemisphere, and the beginning of the harvest season: what was at its peak begins to decline, giving way to another cycle. This lunation in Al-Sarfah reminds us that all peaks contain within them the beginning of the decline, and that in all declines lies the seed of a new process.
New Moon Yod: The Instinctive Part That Had Been Postponed
This New Moon in Virgo is at the apex of a yod, an astrological configuration known as “the finger of God” ( read the full explanation of what a yod is here ). The term yod comes from the tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, associated with the idea of a sign, hand, or design . In astrology, a yod is formed when a planet occupies the focal point—the apex—and receives two inconjunctions from planets that are in sextile with each other. The inconjunction is an awkward aspect: the planets don’t share an element or modality, and so it’s difficult to integrate them. The planet at the apex carries an energy that has been relegated or displaced for a long time , and whose integration requires profound adjustments.
In this case, the conjunction of the Sun and Moon in Virgo is the focal point . That is, both planets must express themselves through Virgo's energy—analysis, technique, the discrimination of the useful versus the useless. And the focal point makes inconjunctions with: 1. On the one hand, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius , which shakes collective, technological, and social structures to their foundations, demanding radical transformation (however, Aquarius and Virgo have a vocation for service in common, so that could be a clue for integrating this part of the yod) . 2. On the other hand, the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries , which tests the solidity of our structures and the maturity of our desires: between discipline and limits (Saturn) and utopia and dissolution (Neptune). And here, the common trait that Virgo and Aries have is the need to put things into action. And what do Virgo, Aquarius, and Aries have in common? Independence.
To integrate the apex of the yod, the Sun and Moon in Virgo need to be "tinged" with the energies of Aries and Aquarius. At first, it seems impossible—precisely because they are inconjunctions—but the key lies in discovering the points of contact between these planets and the signs in which they are located : some examples might be setting clear boundaries, encouraging ourselves to break away from the norm, regaining enthusiasm, innovating in what we do, and perfecting that innovation methodically. Obviously, the possibilities are endless, and we will have to observe what particular message this yod delivers to us to put into action in our own lives. Here, the Moon and Sun in Virgo cannot take refuge 100% in practicality, efficiency, and concreteness : they must transform. The inconjunction with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius asks us to put both our emotions (Moon) and our vitality, will, and outward projection (Sun) through a process of real change. —which could even be cathartic—, ridding ourselves of what disempowers us. And the inconjunction with Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries points to an end to fruitless sacrifices and idealizations that are never fulfilled: structures that must collapse so we can assume a different kind of responsibility. Considering also that this New Moon occurs in the Lunar Mansion Al-Sarfah—the turning point—the lesson is clear: there are things we've been holding onto that aren't efficient, don't reflect us, and don't help us become self-sufficient or healthy. Now is the time to act (not wait for others to do it for us) and make the break.
On a collective level , this yod exposes secrets that are coming to light, power dynamics, and manipulations of the population that can no longer be ignored . Pluto in Aquarius signals fractures in society: tensions between technology and humanity, between centralized power and collective networks. We are very likely to see figures of power receiving a blow to humility . Saturn-Neptune in Aries show how idealisms, lies, or authoritarianism disguised as a just cause fall. The apex in Virgo indicates that what is revealed now cannot remain theoretical: it demands practical adjustments, self-criticism, and above all, humility.
On a personal level , this yod confronts us with the weariness of trying to live with inconsistencies between what we do every day (Virgo) and the ideals or external pressures that drag us down. How long have we put off reviewing parts of our identity and our emotions that are only holding us back? How much have we carried habits, commitments, or responsibilities that have nothing to do with us? The inconjunction with Pluto in Aquarius asks us to let go of old dynamics of belonging. Saturn-Neptune in Aries presents us with the cost of having pursued unrealistic illusions or having avoided assuming clear limits. To carry out this task, the New Moon in Virgo gives us a generous dose of calm , analysis , and discernment .
Sun and Moon Square Uranus: Experimentation and Practice
Uranus is the planet of the unexpected, innovation, and the disruption of the obsolete. It represents shocks that disrupt the predictable, the need for change, and the awakening of new perspectives. When it's involved in a dynamic aspect like a square, its influence tends to be felt as jolts: sudden events, revelations, or movements that force us to completely leave our familiar surroundings. In this case, the conjunction of the Sun and Moon in Virgo forms a close square with Uranus in Gemini . The square is an aspect of tension that demands resolution: two energies that we tend to experience separately clash, and only by integrating them can we find a creative outlet. Although it may initially be experienced as conflict, it can also give rise to abundant fruit, unexpected talents, and potential we didn't know we had.
The key point here is that the ruler of both signs involved—Gemini and Virgo—is Mercury. Therefore, the Sun, Moon, and Uranus are under the rule of the same ruler. And that Mercury is in Leo, a sign that forces us to give outward expression to whatever this square activates. Since Leo is a fixed sign, there's a chance that, despite the mutability of Virgo and Gemini, we may have to stand firm regarding certain decisions. Some things are neither relative nor negotiable.
Regarding the signs of the square, Gemini represents the plane of questions and contrast: curiosity, internal dialogue, learning, communication, exchanges. Virgo shares this curiosity, but with the need to put what is being investigated into practice, and separate what is useful from what is not. Virgo needs to experiment, to test whether things are viable. If it doesn't take action, it has no way of proving it. In this square, tension is resolved directly through experimentation. By shedding our prejudices about what we are and what we could never be, and seeing how far we could go if we let go of other people's judgment and the "should be" factor. Otherwise, if we resist this experimentation, the energy of Uranus will surprise us with situations that force us to integrate this lesson by force (all slow planets work this way).
Collectively, this aspect also focuses on surprising information that triggers change . Because the Sun and Moon are involved, the axes of social power are directly shaken: the Sun, linked to figures of authority and leadership; the Moon, linked to the people and the masses. This can manifest itself in protests, in figures of power who abruptly fall, or in unexpected events that destabilize hierarchies. In extreme cases, tension can even manifest itself in accidents or sudden events that disrupt social routine.
Personally , we often dread Uranus because we're creatures of habit: we seek the predictable, the stable, the unchanging. But, as we said above, it's only when we resist its energy that its effects are consistent with the clichés circulating on social media : chaos, abrupt interruptions, situations that leave us feeling grounded. If, on the other hand, we use its momentum to our advantage, it becomes a breath of fresh air . And in this case, since it's a square in mutable signs, we can be more open to flexibility and change. The invitation is to allow ourselves to experience something we haven't done before, to see where that variation takes us. If we do, the result can be surprising: connecting with a part of us that had been buried or repressed for a long time—perhaps forever—and that now finds a real channel for expression. This is an opportunity to start something that resonates deeply with who we are.
Sabian Corresponding Symbol: Virgo 1, "The Head of a Man."
(Don't know what Sabian symbols are? Read the complete guide here )
This New Moon occurs at 0° of Virgo, whose corresponding Sabian symbol is Virgo 1: The Head of a Man . At first glance, it's a simple image: a head, nothing more. The head is, in general, the part of the body with which we most identify. When we portray ourselves, we do so by showing our face; not our elbow or knee. The face reflects our character traits, our style choices, our age, the way we want to present ourselves to the world. It is our primary identifier.
This symbol, then, emphasizes the integrity of being who we are . The head allows us to act and decide. Thus, this first Sabian symbol within Virgo reminds us that identity is not defined solely by words or aspirations (we already know that Virgo isn't interested in anything that can't be put into action and concrete), but by actions that confirm what we say we are . We can repeat over and over again that we value something, but if our actions convey otherwise, words hold no weight. This Sabian symbol, then, marks the beginning of a process where coherence between what we say/think and what we do/are becomes essential.
On a collective level , Virgo 1 signals a time when public integrity—of individuals, groups, or institutions—may be put to the test. The "head" as a symbol of representation also alludes to those who embody a visible role: leaders, role models, spokespersons for movements. What they do, not what they say, will define their fate in the eyes of the community. Responsibility, clarity, and consistency between speech and action are required.
On a personal level , this lunation pushes us to examine whether our daily decisions truly reflect what we consider part of our identity. The question here isn't "who am I?" in the abstract, but rather "what do I do that confirms who I say I am?" This degree invites us to let go of contradictions that erode our integrity. It's time to confidently assume the responsibility of living in accordance with what truly defines us.
Questions to Reflect On:
1. What things do you need to contemplate with more analysis/coldness/detachment?
This is not a time for victimhood or drama. Step back so you can see more clearly.
2. What things are hindering you and you need to discard?
Sometimes we think we need much more than we carry, but in reality it becomes a hindrance that takes away energy and direction.
3. What does it mean to you to be a person of integrity? Where do you see that integrity in yourself and in your role models?
Integrity is not an abstract word: it is reflected in concrete actions and in the way we honor what we consider essential.
4. Is there any area of your life where what you say and what you do could be different?
Sometimes we don't realize it and we go into autopilot. Words may convince you for a while, but it's actions that ultimately define who you are.
5. In what areas of your life do you need innovation, a change, something new?
Recognize where you feel boredom or stagnation. That's a sign that you need variety and renewal.
6. What cut would you like to make and that you now see as more viable than you thought?
There are decisions that once seemed impossible or far-fetched that now appear to be the most feasible and healthy solution.
7. What things would you like to move beyond theory and into action?
If you've been looking for the perfect moment to bring an idea to life, don't wait any longer because the perfect moment never exists. This could be the moment you take the first step.
8. How do you use the power or visibility you have in your life?
Every form of authority—large or small—involves responsibility. Ask yourself whether you exercise it from a place of consistency or uncertainty.
This New Moon is the Right Time to:
• Leave behind sentimentality or nostalgia that holds you back.
It's time to make a break, open yourself up to new possibilities, and let go of what's useless, even if you emotionally want to hold on to it.
• Evaluate what your real needs are.
We all have different needs, and only we can define them. Observe yourself and honor that subjectivity.
• Challenge yourself to do something you didn't dare to do before.
Don't think about it too much and take the first step. Life is short.
• Facing the fear of the unknown.
Uncertain terrain is the only space that offers us discovery and opportunity. Taking the leap can open doors you never imagined.
• Be flexible and consider options.
This is a time to expand your range of alternatives and stay open to new things.
• Don’t put anyone on a pedestal—or live in distrust.
Clarity lies in balance: recognizing one's own and others' value without resorting to extremes.
• Begin to learn or perfect a technique.
Investing energy in a specific practice now can become a real support for your self-sufficiency.
What Beginnings Can You Expect in the House of Your Birth Chart Where This Lunation Falls?
Here you can explore which aspect of your life is being activated by this lunation. Look at the house of your birth chart where 0°23' of Virgo is located: this is where beginnings could appear that act as turning points and open a broader cycle of change.
(Need help finding the 0°23' degree of Virgo? Read this step-by-step guide here .)
House 1: Beginnings, Identity and Personal Appearance
If this New Moon falls in your 1st House, the beginning is reflected in the way you choose to occupy your space and assert your identity in the world. It's a time of personal affirmation: breaking away from ways of presenting yourself that no longer represent you and beginning to move in a clearer, more authentic direction.
The yod at the apex of this lunation connects your identity with what's happening in the 6th and 8th Houses. This implies that this new personal beginning is linked to your work and health routines, and to deeper transformation processes related to shared resources, fears, and emotional attachments. Although it may feel uncomfortable at first, these adjustments are what allow your new way of asserting yourself to not remain just a brief flash.
On the other hand, the square with Uranus from the 10th House can manifest itself in upheavals related to your social role, your vocation, or your public position. What you change within yourself now may be accompanied by unexpected changes in your career or in how you are perceived by others. If you try to cling to what you know, you will feel unstable; if you seize the opportunity, this transit can open you up to different paths that better express who you are today.
House 2: Self-esteem, Values, Sense of Stability, Finances
If this New Moon falls in your 2nd House, the beginning occurs in your way of relating to what gives you security: your self-esteem, your value system, and the way you manage your material resources. This transit signals a break with old patterns of dependency or ways of seeking stability that no longer reflect your best self. It's time to redefine what stability means to you and how you want to achieve it over time.
The yod at the apex of this lunation connects this search for stability with what's happening in the 7th and 9th Houses. This means that relationships and agreements with others (7th House), along with your way of expanding and giving meaning to your life (9th House), will directly influence this redefinition. You may have to reexamine commitments that no longer fit with your current values, or beliefs that were limiting you without you realizing it. The initial discomfort is part of the adjustment, but the goal is to make your way of managing resources and self-esteem more consistent with who you really are.
The square with Uranus from the 11th House can bring unexpected changes in your social life, your circle of friends, or in collective projects, but also in the long-term goals you had set for yourself. Changes in these spaces can shake up your sense of personal security, forcing you to adapt your way of generating stability. The important thing here is not to resist, but to use these shocks as catalysts: they can open up the possibility of building a sense of self-worth and security that's less dependent on external factors and more in tune with what truly represents you.
House 3: Communication and Learning
If this New Moon falls in your 3rd House, the beginning takes place in your way of communicating, learning, and connecting with your immediate surroundings. This transit marks a shift in your way of processing information: it's not just about talking more or accumulating data, but about beginning to express yourself with greater clarity, authenticity, and coherence. Your words carry a new weight because they are meant to better reflect who you are and what you truly think.
The yod that apexes this lunation connects this search for clarity with Houses 8 and 10. This means that your communication and learning processes are not isolated: they relate to profound internal transformations (House 8) and to your role or vocation in the world (House 10). This can feel like pressure: what you study, say, or share is influenced by issues of power, fear, and dependency, as well as demands for visibility and public accountability. The task now is to find a voice that stands firm in the face of these two points of tension.
The square with Uranus from the 12th House can manifest itself in shocks from the unconscious: unexpected thoughts, memories that emerge, intense dreams, or truths you weren't willing to acknowledge that suddenly become evident. It can also reflect surprising situations that force you to change your way of communicating or fundamentally alter your perspective on certain topics. Although it can be destabilizing, this transit opens the possibility of freeing yourself from internal narratives that limited you and taking a step toward a freer and more independent way of expressing yourself.
House 4: Home, Past and Family
If this New Moon falls in your 4th House, the beginning is reflected in your private life: your home, your roots, your relationship with your past and your family. This transit can feel like a turning point that forces you to reorganize the foundation from which you live, revisit family dynamics, or even the way you understand your own emotional security. It's time to adjust internal structures that no longer represent you and begin a different cycle in your sense of belonging and emotional foundations.
The yod at the apex of this lunation connects this search for stability with what's happening in Houses 9 and 11. This means that your family life and sense of belonging are shaped by the need to reexamine beliefs, studies, or worldviews (House 9), as well as your place in the collective, in groups, or in future projects (House 11). It may feel as if your private life is in tension with your horizons and your expectations for the future, but the task is to integrate these pieces: your home can also be a space where your life vision and long-term goals find coherence.
The square with Uranus from the 1st House shows that your personal identity is directly involved in these changes. What you initiate now in your family life or in your relationship with the past may be accompanied by changes in how you choose to present and assert yourself in the world. There may be unexpected gestures of independence from your family or breaks with old dynamics that limited you. The key isn't choosing between the person you want to be and the family you belong to, but rather finding a way to combine both dimensions without losing your authenticity.
House 5: Children, Creativity, Romance and Pleasure
If this New Moon falls in your 5th House, the beginning is in your way of enjoying life: creativity, play, emotional bonds, and the spaces where you express what gives you pleasure. This transit can feel like a turning point that forces you to question how you have fun, how you relate to desire, and how you share your vitality with others. It's a good time to explore different ways of creating and enjoying yourself, even if you don't know where to start at first.
The yod that apexes this lunation connects this area with the 10th and 12th Houses. This means that your pursuits of creativity and enjoyment are not disconnected from what happens in your vocation and social role (10th House), nor from what emerges from your unconscious or spiritual world (12th House). It may feel as if the weight of external demands and what you have no internal control over limits your capacity for enjoyment. But the challenge lies in integrating these pieces: your creativity can be the channel for processing the unconscious, and your vocation can be nourished by what you discover today in this more playful and personal realm.
The square to Uranus from the 2nd House reflects that these beginnings in your creative and emotional life are in tension with your sense of value and material stability. There may be unexpected changes in your finances, in how you manage your resources, or in your understanding of your personal security. Perhaps what gives you pleasure requires a different investment, or a change in how you value what you produce. Although it may cause discomfort, this transit asks you to align your creative talents and your way of enjoying yourself with a more authentic notion of what is truly worthwhile for you.
House 6: Health, Connection with the Body and Daily Routines
If this New Moon falls in your 6th House, the beginning is reflected in the way you organize your daily life, your relationship with your body, and how you manage your energy. It's a time for conscious adjustments: habits that seemed harmless are now showing their limits, and the need arises to find a more efficient order that will allow you to be in better physical and emotional condition.
The yod apex of this lunation connects this area of your life to the 11th and 1st Houses. This means that your search for balance in routines and health is linked both to groups, friendships, and collective projects (11th House) and to your personal identity and the way you assert yourself (1st House). It can feel as if your body and your well-being are the tension between what others demand and who you truly are. The task here is to find daily practices that reflect your authenticity and allow you to pursue your long-term goals without neglecting yourself.
The square with Uranus from the 3rd House can bring unexpected changes in your immediate environment or in the way you communicate. Changes in study routines, working with information, or even unforeseen events in the neighborhood can disrupt your daily routine. Although it may seem chaotic at first, this transit encourages you to be more flexible in your way of structuring your time: not everything can be planned, and learning to adapt quickly will be part of growing.
House 7: One-to-One Relationships
If this New Moon falls in your 7th House, the beginning occurs in the realm of your closest relationships: partners, partnerships, and societies, but also open rivals or adversaries. This transit marks a turning point in how you relate: it can bring the beginning of new connections, the redefinition of existing bonds, or the need to confront tensions that were hidden beneath the surface.
The yod at the apex of this lunation connects this area with the 12th and 2nd Houses. This means that your current relationships are influenced as much by what's moving in your unconscious or your private life (12th House) as by your values, resources, and sense of stability (2nd House). Emotional dependencies, sacrifices that no longer make sense, or financial arrangements that need to be revisited may come to light. The initial discomfort may feel like a mismatch between what you give, what you receive, and what you keep quiet; however, from this arises the possibility of transforming the way you relate.
The square with Uranus from the 4th House reflects that these beginnings in your relationships may be accompanied by unexpected changes in your family life or home. Shifts in your roots or in the dynamics with your family of origin can directly impact your current relationships. You may even feel that moving forward in relationships requires distancing yourself from family patterns that limited your freedom. Although it may feel like an uncomfortable shock, this transit opens the door to more authentic relationships, where your way of relating isn't a repetition of the past, but a conscious choice in the present.
House 8: Transformation, Grief, Debts, and Shared Resources
If this New Moon falls in your 8th House, the beginning takes place on profound ground: transformations that touch your emotional world, the way you share resources, and the grieving or closure processes you've been putting off. This transit marks a turning point where what's hidden begins to become visible, and where paths open up to restructure both your material ties and your relationship with intimacy and trust.
The yod that apexes this lunation connects this transformation with what's happening in Houses 1 and 3. This means that the changes you're undergoing emotionally and in shared resources are directly linked to your personal identity (House 1) and your way of communicating and processing information (House 3). What you're experiencing now can clearly show you how certain ways of expressing yourself or perceiving your environment were limiting your ability to transform. The task is to find a language and a personal affirmation that move in the same direction as the new thing that's beginning to take shape.
The square with Uranus from the 5th House reflects that these profound processes may be accompanied by upheavals in your creative and emotional realms, or even in your way of experiencing pleasure and romance. It may feel as if what you enjoy and desire is in tension with what you need to transform at a deeper level. Although the changes may seem disruptive, this transit pushes you to align desire and creativity with a more authentic version of yourself, freeing yourself from dynamics that until now have restricted your vitality.
House 9: Expansion and Philosophy of Life
If this New Moon falls in your 9th House, the beginning occurs in the way you expand your worldview: beliefs, studies, travel, experiences that broaden your horizons. This transit marks a turning point in your philosophy of life: what previously seemed to guide your course may now feel insufficient, and you begin to feel the need to explore new frameworks of meaning.
The yod that apexes this lunation connects this process with what's happening in Houses 2 and 4. This means that your expansion and new beliefs can't be understood without reviewing your system of values and resources (House 2) and the foundation of your home, roots, and past (House 4). Your convictions can't grow on foundations that are no longer stable: what you value and what you understand as "home" or emotional security will be decisive in how you redefine your philosophy of life.
The square with Uranus from the 6th House can bring shocks to your health, routines, or daily work. Unexpected changes in your daily life may force you to rethink beliefs you took for granted, or to adjust your way of expanding to make it more practical and sustainable. Although it may feel uncomfortable at first, this transit opens the possibility that your new vision of life will not remain just theoretical, but will translate into concrete habits that support what you truly want to live.
House 10: Career, Ambitions, Reputation, Vision of Success
If this New Moon falls in your 10th House, the beginning occurs in your vocation, your professional goals, and the way you build your reputation. This transit marks a break in your relationship with authority, visibility, and success: whatever begins now may place you in a more public or exposed position, and will require you to do so from a place of true coherence. The presence of Regulus in this degree accentuates the theme of honor and integrity: whatever is projected outward under this lunation can bring promotions and recognition, but also abrupt falls if it is based on empty appearances or behaviors lacking integrity.
The yod at the apex of this lunation connects this beginning with what's happening in Houses 3 and 5. This means that your voice, your learning, and your way of communicating (House 3), along with your creativity, your talents, and your way of enjoying life (House 5), will be directly involved in your public image. It may feel like a pressure: what you share and what you enjoy can no longer be separated from your professional vision. The task is to find a way to integrate these areas into a coherent life plan.
The square with Uranus from the 7th House can manifest itself in tensions with close relationships, partners, or even adversaries. Sudden changes in these ties can directly impact your career and reputation. The important thing here is not to allow external events to completely destabilize you, but rather to use these shocks as an opportunity to review the extent to which your success is sustained by authentic connections and honest agreements. More than ever, whatever you initiate now in your public life must be in line with your personal integrity: that will be the true measure of your success.
House 11: Groups, Community, and Long-Term Goals
If this New Moon falls in your 11th House, the beginning occurs in your way of connecting with groups, friendships, support networks, and in the direction of your future goals. This transit marks a turning point: the collective projects you participate in and the vision of what you want to achieve in the long term can no longer be based on inertia or impractical ideals. It's time to rethink who you're walking with and where you really want to go.
The yod at the apex of this lunation connects this terrain with Houses 4 and 6. This means that your community life and future goals are influenced both by what happens in your home and roots (House 4) and by your way of organizing routines and taking care of your health (House 6). Tension here can be felt as a mismatch between what you need in your personal, everyday life and what you hope to achieve collectively. Integration is achieved by finding a solid emotional foundation and a daily order that allow you to carry out your collective projects without neglecting your personal foundations.
The square with Uranus from the 8th House can bring unexpected changes regarding shared resources, debts, inheritances, or intimate power dynamics. These shocks can alter your participation in groups or your future plans, highlighting the need to redefine agreements and free yourself from dependencies that no longer make sense. Although it may initially feel destabilizing, this transit opens the opportunity to build more authentic and sustainable goals, united by collective bonds that truly empower your growth.
House 12: Spirituality, Subconscious, Closures, Privacy
If this New Moon falls in your 12th House, the beginning occurs in your inner world: in spaces of retreat, in your spiritual life, in what remains hidden or unconscious. This transit marks a break in the way you relate to your deepest intimacy. It may feel like a need to remain silent, to close stages that no longer have a place, and to look more honestly at what until now you preferred to keep hidden.
The yod that apexes this lunation connects this internal work with what happens in Houses 5 and 7. This means that what emerges in your private world is directly influenced by your way of experiencing pleasure, creativity, and emotional bonds (House 5), as well as by your closest relationships or associations (House 7). It can feel as if intimacy and private life are the space where tensions from your emotional and relational life are processed. Integrating these pieces involves recognizing what unconscious patterns have been conditioning your way of enjoying and connecting, and now giving them a different outlet.
The square with Uranus from the 9th House can bring unexpected changes in the realm of beliefs, life philosophy, or studies. New ideas, breaks with systems of thought, or sudden experiences can shake up your inner world, forcing you to rethink your understanding of the spiritual and the meaning of your life. Although it may feel destabilizing at first, this transit opens the possibility of profound renewal: a freer vision of life, less fearful, and more connected to your true inner experience.
