New Moon in Virgo 2026
The New Moon in Virgo falls on September 10, 2026, at 18 degrees 26 minutes of Virgo. It is the only Virgo new moon of the year, and it arrives on a day when three other things change at once: Venus enters Scorpio, Mercury enters Libra, and Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini.
That stacking is what makes this one worth paying attention to. A new moon is a beginning, and Virgo begins by sorting. What is unusual here is how much else is turning over in the same twenty-four hours.
New Moon in Virgo 2026 Dates and Chart
September 10, 2026: New Moon at 18 degrees 26 minutes Virgo. On the same day, Venus enters Scorpio, Mercury enters Libra, and Uranus stations retrograde at 5 degrees 42 minutes of Gemini.
The rest of the chart at that moment: Mars at 19 degrees Cancer, Jupiter at 15 degrees Leo, Saturn retrograde at 13 degrees Aries, Neptune retrograde at 3 degrees Aries, and Pluto retrograde at 3 degrees Aquarius. Five bodies are moving backward while the Moon is starting something new.
What Makes This Virgo New Moon Different
Most new moons are a single event you can read on its own. This one sits inside a cluster, and the cluster changes what it means.
Virgo sorts. It takes something disordered and makes it usable, and it does that by looking closely at what is there. A new moon in Virgo is the point in the year when that sorting instinct gets a fresh start, usually around health, work, routine, and the daily shape of a life.
Then Uranus stations retrograde the same day. A station is the slowest a planet ever moves, and it holds one degree of the sky for weeks. Uranus stationing in Gemini puts a long pause on information, communication and how quickly you have been taking things in. Virgo wants to organise. Uranus wants to interrupt. Those two impulses arriving together is the tension worth watching.
Venus moving into Scorpio and Mercury moving into Libra add a second layer. Values go deeper and less negotiable while thinking gets more diplomatic and more concerned with fairness. The sorting you do around this new moon happens with those two filters running.
Venus crosses into Scorpio at 4:06 AM Eastern, Mercury into Libra at 12:20 PM, Uranus stations at 2:12 PM, and the new moon is exact at 11:26 PM. Four moves, one day. Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Gemini by rising sign both have longer stories of their own if you want to go deeper.
One detail worth sitting with. Mercury rules Virgo, and it leaves the sign eleven hours before this new moon is exact. The lunation perfects with its own ruler already at 1 degree of Libra, freshly out of the final degree of Virgo. You can set the intention in Virgo terms, in lists and systems and correct order. Carrying it out is going to involve somebody else.
Uranus Retrograde in Gemini on the Same Day
Uranus stations retrograde at 5 degrees 42 minutes of Gemini on September 10, 2026, and turns direct at 1 degree 40 minutes of Gemini on February 8, 2027. It walks back over the first six degrees of the sign across those five months.
A station is the strongest moment of any retrograde cycle. The planet is standing still from our view, and whatever it touches in your chart holds steady under that pressure for longer than usual. Anything between 1 and 6 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces will feel this most.
Setting a Virgo new moon intention on the day Uranus stations is a particular kind of beginning. The plan you make will be tested by information you do not have yet. Virgo handles that better than most signs, because Virgo expects to revise.
How This Plays Out
Uranus is stationing retrograde in Gemini right now. This little turn around is the slowest point, which is why it reads so clearly usually. Whatever that planet touches sits still long enough for you to actually *see* it. Uranus in Gemini is all things communication. What you say, how you say it, what you’ve been repeating on autopilot.
Now we have the New Moon in Virgo. And Virgo sorts the mess.
Two things to look up in your own chart:
1. Where Gemini falls. That house is the part of your life getting audited right now. And maybe not gently. 😬
2. Where Virgo falls. That house is where you get to plant something cleaner, starting this week. ✨

The Pisces–Virgo Story: Coming Full Circle
This new moon isn’t the one and only. The Pisces–Virgo axis has been worked from both ends all year: a total lunar eclipse at 12 degrees of Virgo on March 3, the Pisces new moon two weeks after it, and a partial lunar eclipse at 4 degrees of Pisces on August 28. Together these lunations highlight the Pisces–Virgo axis in your chart, asking you to find balance between vision and action, faith and discernment, surrender and refinement.
Pisces energy invites us to dream, release, and connect with the unseen to dissolve old patterns and open to possibility. Virgo energy, on the opposite side of the spectrum, asks us to ground those dreams into something tangible, sustainable, and aligned with daily life.
What was seeded during Pisces season now reaches a moment of integration. This Virgo new moon pushes us to take what we’ve envisioned and translate it into practice… editing what no longer works, committing to habits that support growth, and clarifying the structures that allow creativity and healing to take root.
This is the “second half of the story.” What began earlier this year in Pisces now comes into focus through Virgo. Arriving twelve days after that Pisces eclipse, this is the first ordinary lunation the axis has had in a while, which makes it a better moment to consolidate than to react.
New Moon in Virgo 2026 by Rising Sign
This is the only Virgo new moon of the year, and it lands on a day when three other things shift at once. The first new moon shakes loose old patterns through Uranus, while the second anchors long-term shifts through the eclipse. Virgo themes of health, healing, service, and daily rituals are being rewritten for both individuals and the collective. These lunations aren’t just fresh starts, they are cosmic resets with ripple effects that will last far beyond this season.
New Moon in Virgo for Aries Rising
Your 6th house gets the reset this year, so work, routine, health and the general running of your days are all up for review. This is probably the most natural spot a Virgo new moon can take for you, since the house and the sign want the same thing anyway. Whatever has been sitting undone in your schedule, your body, or the way you work is the material here. Uranus has stalled in your 3rd house of communication, which means the plan you build will probably get interrupted by information you did not have yet. Build it anyway, just leave it loose enough to be edited.
New Moon in Virgo for Taurus Rising
The new moon falls in your 5th house which covers creativity, romance, children and anything you do purely because you want to. Virgo brings craft to that house, which is a good pairing. Think practice, method, finishing the thing you started. Meanwhile Uranus has parked itself in your 2nd house of income and self-worth, holding a long pause over how you earn. If a creative practice has been asking to become part of your living, this is the window where that question stops being hypothetical.
New Moon in Virgo for Gemini Rising
Home, family and your whole foundation are what the 4th house governs, and that is where this one lands for you. Virgo wants the base sorted, so the literal house, the arrangements inside it, and the family patterns running underneath are all fair game. Uranus stations in your 1st house on the same day, which puts you personally right in the middle of it. That is a rare setup for Gemini rising, because the foundation and the person standing on it are being rebuilt at once. Start with something small and physical.
New Moon in Virgo for Cancer Rising
This one falls in your 3rd house of communication, learning, siblings and the ordinary traffic of your days. Virgo is genuinely good at what this house needs, and clearer writing, better questions, and a mind that is a little easier to live inside are all on offer. Uranus is camped in your 12th house, the least visible part of your chart, so some of what surfaces will arrive without an obvious source. Worth writing things down this month, because the 3rd house will let you use whatever the 12th sends up.
New Moon in Virgo for Leo Rising
The new moon is in your 2nd house which governs all things money, possessions and self-worth. A Virgo new moon here is like accounting in the best sense. Think what you earn, what you will keep, what you have been valuing without really thinking much about. Uranus is hanging out in your 11th house of friendship and community, which means the people around you are part of the picture too. When the people around you change, what you think is worth having usually changes too, and that is not always obvious while it is happening.
New Moon in Virgo for Virgo Rising
This one lands right on your own rising sign in the 1st house, which makes it your yearly reset and easily the clearest one you get. Appearance, manner, how you introduce yourself, what you are willing to be known for, all of it is available for revision. Uranus is doing its long pause in your 10th house of career and public standing at the same time, so the version of yourself you are reworking is also the one people see at work. Virgo rising typically undersells itself more than any other placement, and this is a good month to stop doing that.
New Moon in Virgo for Libra Rising
The new moon falls in your 12th house, which makes it the quietest new moon of your year. Themes of rest, solitude, and the private material are running underneath all of your decisions. Virgo here means the mental sorting happens somewhere nobody can see it, including you, at least at first. Uranus is hanging out in your 9th house of belief and meaning, putting a long pause on a framework you have been holding onto. No need to force any decisions this month, though.
New Moon in Virgo for Scorpio Rising
Friendship, networks and the future you imagine yourself heading toward all sit in the 11th house, and that is where this lands. Virgo brings discernment to that house, which for Scorpio rising usually means noticing which connections are reciprocal. Uranus sits in your 8th house of shared resources and intimacy, working on the terms between people. Venus also enters Scorpio that same day and lands right on your Ascendant. Between all three, this is a month where what you want and who you want it with both come up for review.
New Moon in Virgo for Sagittarius Rising
The 10th house is the most visible point in your whole chart, and it is where this new moon arrives. A Virgo lunation here gets practical about ambition, so the actual next step matters more than the vision does. Uranus slows to a stop in your 7th house of partnership on the same day, and Gemini sits opposite your rising sign, so the people across from you are carrying something you have been undersupplying in yourself. Career moves this month often arrive through other people.
New Moon in Virgo for Capricorn Rising
Belief, travel, higher learning and the framework you use to make sense of things all live in the 9th house, which is where this one falls. Virgo wants that framework tested against something real. Uranus has settled into your 6th house of work and daily routine, which is where Capricorn rising lives. The combination is genuinely useful, because a new idea about how things should work is arriving right as your actual working conditions get interrupted. One of them will correct the other.
New Moon in Virgo for Aquarius Rising
This new moon is in your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, debt and all the terms that go unstated. Virgo does something this house rarely gets, which is to make the material practical and specific. Joint finances, an arrangement running on habit, a conversation that has been postponed too long, any of it. Uranus is your chart ruler and it stations in your 5th house of creativity and self-expression, and the pressure to be more yourself runs right alongside the pressure to sort out something shared.
New Moon in Virgo for Pisces Rising
Partnership is the 7th house, sitting directly opposite your rising sign, and that is where this one lands. It is the Virgo and Pisces axis playing out in your own chart, which means the sorting arrives through another person. What they notice, what they ask for, what they will not carry for you any more. Uranus is camped in your 4th house of home and family at the same time, and the relationship material and the living situation are connected. For a lot of Pisces rising charts these turn out to be the same conversation.
Let’s Reflect…
One Virgo new moon a year, and this one lands on a day when three other things are turning over at the same time. That makes it a good moment to refine and reset the systems holding your life together. Pay attention to what surfaces in the days around September 10. Under a Uranus station, the thing that interrupts your plan is usually the information the plan was missing.
