New Moon in Virgo 8/22/2025
Grandmother Turtle from the Grandmother Oracle deck
The Tarot Spread
Grandmother Turtle will guide us through the fallout and chaos of Uranus and the new beginnings of this New Moon. We are so grounded and held by her energy. Can you feel the slow guidance by her.
What are you wanting to manifest? Ideally this is a reflection on the house in which Virgo resides in in your birth chart. If you aren’t sure what that means, feel free to sign up for a New Moon tarot spread and I can guide you through this. This can also be something that you are wanting to start or begin! This can also be something that you have been working on and are ready to take the next steps for!
During the chaos, things will fall apart that need to fall apart and sometimes the shakeup can feel overwhelming or scary. Grandmother turtle has such a protective shell that keeps her safe during these transitions. Her shell can also be a place for her to rest and pause. What will help you shelter during all of this transition.
The square between Uranus and the New Moon is asking us to go! Lean into this powerful energy. Let this energy fuel you to continue down your path this moon cycle. What is that go energy?
As a reminder, this energy is a lot! What is the message that will allow you to slow down and pause. This breath is also so important to gather the details for your next step. What do you need to gather or analyze during this pause?
As a zero degree Virgo, I am so excited for this zero degree Virgo New Moon. This is a time for starting a project as we connect and honor the details that Virgo so elegantly focuses on. She is here to show us everything that we might be missing and asks us to check our work a couple times before we hit submit. If you have been feeling scattered or overwhelmed, call on Virgo to help you get organized!
Grandmother Turtle is here to assist us in slowing down and really be intentional on what our plan is and what next steps to take. A message from Grandmother Turtle: “Life is not a race. Learn to see the gift in slowing down, without worrying whether anything external is advancing. Be patient with yourself. taking time out to rest will serve you in the long run. You’re never behind in your own life, sweetheart.”
This new moon is also activating energy from Gemini in Uranus. There is a square happening during the full moon! Uranus is the planet that shatters the norms and creates sudden changes. My lovely friend compares Uranus to the Tower card in Tarot. It’s chaos and lightening. It’s shattering the illusion of what isn’t working. Gemini is working with Uranus to be curious! There is diligence and discernment happening now that the illusion is shattered. What will you do next. This 0 degree Virgo New Moon is asking you to try something different! This is liberation! This is the time to be our most authentic selves! This is exciting! And while Uranus in Gemini might feel fast and quick, Grandmother Turtle will help us to pause and take a breath.
