New Moon in Virgo Tarot Spread

This New Moon in Virgo occurs on September 14, 2023. Many of you are likely familiar with Mercury Retrograde, which has been happening for the past number of weeks, however as of September 15, we see Mercury finally station direct once again.

With this New Moon in Virgo, not only are we seeing the first phase in a lunar cycle, but with Mercury (who also coincidentally rules Virgo) finally stationing direct, we should see a new burst of energy pushing us forward in areas of life that felt stagnant or challenging.

I saw an astrologer on TikTok (I forget their @ username, I’m so sorry! I wish I could credit them) mention how this energy is like a slingshot. We’ve been pulling the slingshot backwards for the past few weeks, giving it this intense momentum, that perhaps felt like we were even going backward at times… but with this shift of Mercury and New Moon energy, we may finally see that slingshot release to help push us forward. I felt this slingshot analogy was the perfect way to describe the energy.
