Well + Good: New Moon in Virgo Horoscope

As the sun and moon meet in Virgo on August 27 at 4:16 a.m. ET/1:16 a.m. PT, a fresh cycle begins to unfold. New moons typically signal periods of new beginnings, but this new moon in Virgo has an edge to it. Why? The sun and moon in Virgo will be at odds with Mars—the planet of separation, severing, conflict, and action—in Gemini. This energy can manifest as a tension point between two areas of our lives, depending on which houses Gemini and Virgo occupy in your birth chart.
