Rare Second New Moon in Virgo and Autumnal Equinox
New Moon - Autumnal Equinox
September 21-22, 2025
Personal Alignment and Conscious Partnership
On September 21, 2025, we will experience a second New Moon in Virgo. Two New Moons in the same sign is a rare and powerful event. With it, we are given the opportunity to revisit and refine our earlier intentions. We bring to this process the spiritual energy received and wisdom gained during the Pisces Full Moon. To further underscore the importance of this event, the Autumnal Equinox arrives a day later, on September 22, 2025.
The second New Moon in Virgo on September 21, 2025 asks us to heal, simplify, and align our lives. It emphasizes establishing healthy habits, clearing clutter, discerning what truly matters, evaluating relationships, and deciding what to put our energy into. Just before the Sun crosses into Libra, this second New Moon offers us a final harvest sorting: Virgo helps us determine what to preserve and to heal and what to release.
The Autumnal Equinox on September 22nd is a moment of equal day and night, symbolizing balance, and harmony. Spiritually, it’s a threshold where we pause to honor both light and shadow and recognize the seasonal cycles of change. At the Equinox, the Sun enters Libra and marks a shift in our focus to balancing our inner clarification with outer harmonious connections.
Virgo (Earth) invites grounded healing and spiritual practices, while Libra (Air) invites connection, beauty, and harmony in relationships. This sequence suggests: first, heal and align yourself (Virgo), then step into equal, conscious partnership with others and the world (Libra).
This New Moon is cleaning and sanctifying our inner temples so that the next day, when the Autumnal Equinox arrives, we enter into balance with clear intention. The timing emphasizes the ability to stand balanced in spirit and body while the external world shifts.
Reflections:
What inner healing am I completing as I cross into a new season?
What practices or rituals will help me carry balance, clarity, and harmony into the next cycle?
What seeds of intention am I planting at this seasonal gateway?
