Welcome to the Virgo new moon 2026, and the second new moon of the harvest season. Poised on the edge of the Fall Equinox (Mabon) and the Jewish high holidays, the Virgo new moon is always a period of reflection, assessment, and making the necessary adjustments in order to bring more of the harvest you want. This year, with the election looming and with more and more of the world embracing authoritarianism and extinction capitalism, the Virgo new moon asks you to spend a little time exploring the depths of your soul.
Astrologically speaking, the New Moon is a time of beginnings. A monthly reboot, it gives you a chance for a fresh start. The New Moon always provides opportunities to create something new, to start a new phase, or to start the next phase of an ongoing project. In order to make the most of these moments, always start with the sign you are in, and then look to where you are in the Wheel of the Year. That equation determines what sort of new beginnings you can realistically expect to create. As it’s Leo season, and Lammas (the beginning of harvest season), let’s start there.
All New Moons are a new beginning. The math of it is so simple, so elemental. The New Moon is the official start of the Moon’s 29.5-day cycle, and it always occurs in the same zodiac sign as the Sun. So not only is it an awesome opportunity to reboot, but it will also refocus your energies on the archetype of a sign. Today’s New Moon is in the watery sign of Cancer, and its archetypes are the Mother, the Matriarch, and the Nurturer.
