Your Angel Message For September’s New Moon In Virgo (Music + Tarot)
All New Moons are a powerful time for the collective – this potent energy is perfect for reflection, setting intentions, and starting anew.
This month’s New Moon takes place on September 21, with both the sun and moon in Virgo. Virgo rules the 6th house of daily routines, work, health, work, responsibilities, and service to others, so we can all expect to see those areas highlighted under this New Moon. Typical Virgo traits, such as being practical, perfectionistic, hard-working, critical, and helpful are enhanced in all of us, as well (especially those with prominent or multiple Virgo placements on their birth charts). But what does this lunar event mean specifically for you? Choose the song and lyrics below that resonate to read a special message from your angels for September’s New Moon.
Song 1: “VIRGO’S GROOVE” by Beyoncé
Lyrics: “There’s nothing that I want as much as I want you. A psychic hit me, told me we got shit to do. We ain’t got time like we used to, but we still shine like we used to.”
Your Cards: Justice, 8 of Wands (reversed), Knight of Cups
Justice is a major arcana card, meaning it holds powerful lessons with long-lasting impact. Each of these three readings for September’s New Moon contains at least one major arcana tarot card, indicating that now is an exceptionally powerful time for the collective. The Justice card suggests that in the recent past, you’ve acted with diplomacy and fairness. You’ve been level-headed and approached people and situations with your practicality and problem-solving skills.
The reversed 8 of Wands reveals how you’re feeling around September 21, the time of the New Moon. It indicates a certain slowness or lack of energy, like things aren’t moving in the right direction. There may be obstacles or complications stalling your progress. This may seem particularly unfair, considering how justly you’ve acted in the recent past, and how impartially you’ve treated others. Your angels are warning you not to do anything too impulsive or risky to change this sluggishness – you’ve got to be patient and cautious instead of running from this feeling, otherwise there may be negative consequences.
The Knight of Cups reveals what’s in store for you soon after September’s New Moon. It suggests that an emotional journey (and perhaps even a new romantic opportunity) is on the horizon. Your angels want you to open up your heart and embrace your sensitivity. Perhaps your diplomacy and fairness made you stray from your heart’s guidance in the past, and it’s time to allow your intuition to guide you instead. Lean into what feels good and follow your heart – this will bring the positive change you seek.
Song 2: “Virgo Tendencies” by Keke Palmer
Lyrics: “Should prolly always wear long sleeve, when you wear your heart on your shoulder. I got Virgo tendencies, cross me once and it’s over.”
Your Cards: 2 of Swords (reversed), The Hanged Man, The Emperor
In the reversed position, the 2 of Swords suggests that you’ve been moving in the wrong direction lately. In the period leading up to September’s New Moon, impulsive actions resulted in unfavorable outcomes. You’ve been running into obstacles at every turn, making you even more frantic – and that frantic energy just creates more messes.
The Hanged Man is a major arcana tarot card, so it holds powerful lessons with lasting impact. It represents being temporarily suspended. Your angels are telling you to take a break on September’s New Moon – sometimes, pausing is the best thing we can do. Instead of rushing recklessly forward, now is the time to stop and reflect. The right path isn’t clear yet; give it some time and be patient.
The Emperor is another major arcana card, which means that there is a lot of potent energy swirling in your life right now, and you are learning crucial lessons. This tarot card reveals that when the right path presents itself, you will know and be prepared to follow it. And eventually, it will no longer feel like you’re following anything or anyone; you’re taking the lead! But your angels insist that taking a break right now is the only way to move forward into this Emperor energy. Stop what you’re doing, take a breather, and prepare for the big, positive changes in store.
Song 3: “Gift from Virgo” by Beyoncé
Lyrics: I love everything about you, from your old school tennis shoes, to the way you move when you’re dancin’ with me. Do you remember our first kiss? It wasn’t long enough.”
Your Cards: The World (reversed), Page of Pentacles (reversed), 4 of Pentacles (reversed)
The World is a major arcana tarot card, so its meaning holds powerful, long-lasting lessons. In the reversed position, this card suggests that you’ve struggling to finish what you started. Perhaps you’re sitting on several incomplete projects, or nothing has held your interest long enough to see it through. This energy feels restless, perfectionist, and disappointed, like you’re not living up to your own expectations. This is what you’ve been experiencing leading up to the September 21 New Moon.
The Page of Pentacles, reversed, indicates that you’re still very much in this stuck energy during the New Moon. In the reversed position, this card represents wasted talents, learning difficulties, procrastination, superficial endeavors, and unrealistic goals. Any or all of these are the obstacles blocking your growth and success. Your angels are urging you to get clear on what you truly want before rushing ahead with yet another project you won’t finish, just for the sake of movement. Sometimes, it’s best to hold still until we can move forward with absolute certainty.
The reversed 4 of Pentacles gives you the key to progress. It suggests that what’s holding you back is fear and a scarcity mindset. All resources, such as time, energy, and money, must be given room to grow and flow – the more you put out into the universe, the more they return to you. Don’t be afraid to be generous in whatever way you can, or to use the talents and resources you possess. There is more where that came from, and you will get back the good you put out into the world in amazing, unexpected ways. Your angels are saying that the goals you set for yourself in the past did not reflect your true values, and what you were chasing stemmed from insecurity. When you follow the path that is aligned with the greatest good, for yourself and others, there will be no stopping you.
