NEW MOON IN VIRGO: September 10, 2026 at 8:27 p.m. PDT
Is intention-setting on the New Moon neuroscience or magic? My Virgo Mercury wanted a tidy, rational answer, but after years of working with the Lunar Cycle, I've seen things I simply can't explain away. (And yes, I still think neuroscience is a part of it).
What I can tell you is this: if you haven't tried it, you may be leaving a surprisingly powerful tool on the table.
This New Moon, in Virgo, is an excellent time to set intentions around improved health, weight management, sustainable lifestyle changes, and a fitness routine that sticks. If you tend to procrastinate, intentions to improve your efficiency and stay organized are a good idea too.
You're not limited to these topics though! Anything that you want to jump start is fair game. But, intentions for the areas ruled by Virgo will get an extra boost.
How To:
- Set intentions within 8 hours after the New Moon if you can. (Within 24 hours will still work).
- Focus on your intentions. Truly FEEL them. How will it feel when:
- You’ve established consistent daily habits that you KNOW will propel you to your goals?
- You look and feel at your healthiest, most radiant self?
- All the non-productive clutter disappears from your life, and you are focusing and making progress toward your best life?
Evoke and hold onto that feeling as you're setting your intentions.
3. Keep repeating your intentions until the next Full Moon on September 26. Take the time to acknowledge and celebrate progress toward your goals, even if it feels like small steps.
4. In the next few weeks, watch for synchronicities and unexpected events that move you toward your goals. They just might be an affirmation that what you've asked for is coming.
Sample Intentions:
"I want to easily build daily habits that support my best, healthiest, happiest, most prosperous, and most empowered life."
"I want to easily build daily habits that are for my highest good."
“I want to easily be able to start and stick to a healthy diet.”
“I want to easily find myself <running, doing yoga> ____ days a week.”
“I want to easily find myself establishing a productive routine that gives me plenty of time for my business, family, and ___________.”
“I want to be able to organize my <home, work> in the way that is most productive for me.”
“I want to easily be able to discern and focus on my key goals in life. I want all tendencies to burying myself in non-productive work lifted from me.”
“I want to easily complete work/personal projects with minimum stress and maximum efficiency.”
To Go Deeper:
There is only so much I can cover in a blog post, but good news!
My popular New Moon workshop is now available as a digital mini-course.
You can take it whenever it suits your schedule, wherever you are.
I recommend taking it right before you start setting your intentions: the workshop ends with a powerful visualization that takes you straight into your intention setting.
Participants Say:
✨ I still can’t believe it. Truly, I’ve been talking about moving/buying a house for decades but never felt it was within my reach.
I think having those specific intentions, written clearly helped me to focus on achieving those goals.
Nothing dropped in my lap and I had to make the effort but rather than having to walk the whole way, a moving walkway appeared at just the right moments to help me over some challenging spots.
From now on I’m going to work WITH the Universe!
