New Moon September 2024 in Virgo

The new moon in Virgo on September 2, 2024, is opposite Saturn. So, the spiritual meaning of the September 2024 new moon is overcoming fear and worry.

The new moon in September 2024 also coincides with Mars square Neptune. Like Saturn, this aspect causes fear and worry and adds confusion and deception.

The major theme of this moon phase is melancholia. With so much bad news and negativity in the world today, it is important to have faith and remember that a bright future is just around the corner.

New Moon September 2024 Horoscope

The new moon on Monday, September 2, 2024, is at 11°04′ Virgo. In the horoscope below, Saturn is opposite the new moon, but the orb of over five degrees means it is only a mild influence. The most significant aspect is Mars square Neptune.

New Moon September 2024 Astrology

Sun conjunct Moon (0°00′) represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. It gives a refreshing burst of energy and initiative. But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating.

So, the new moon in September 2024 is excellent for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs while searching for new and inventive ways to progress.

Fear and Confusion

Mars square Neptune (0°03′) can cause confusion, fear, self-deception, lack of faith and guilt. It can activate immoral or mean actions, perverted desires or addictive tendencies. You may feel weak, unmotivated or discouraged. Hypochondria is also possible, but so is the risk of infection and poisoning.

Your passionate desires may not accurately reflect the reality of the situation. Relationships may be subject to passive aggressiveness, suspicion, paranoia or jealousy. You could become a victim of lies, gossip, scandal, slander, or deceit.

Even if there is some truth to the rumors, confused motivations mean you must avoid the temptation to act vindictively. Otherwise, deceitful, treacherous or subversive actions could come back to bite you. Don’t let your fears or imagination get the better of you, and be wary of offers that seem too good to be true. Instead, try channeling this confusing energy into creative projects that need inspiration and imagination.

New Moon opposite Saturn (5°20′) is associated with restrictions and hardship. Although this is a mild influence because of the wide orb, it does share some similarities with Mars square Neptune. It is, therefore, likely to exacerbate any problems associated with fears, worry, loss, disgrace, low self-esteem or lack of faith.

New Moon Constellations

The new moon in September 2024 is in the Sign of Virgo, but as the star map below shows, it is in the Constellation of Leo. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The degrees on the ecliptic line in the image below equate to those in the New Moon horoscope. I use the Fixed Star and Constellation like the ancient astrologers, not the Signs and Houses of modern astrology.

New Moon September 2024

The September 2 new moon at 11°04′ Virgo aligns with fixed star Zosma at 11°39′ Virgo.

Robson says Zosma causes benefit by disgrace, selfishness, egotism, immorality, meanness, melancholy, unhappiness of mind and fear of poison, and gives an unreasonable, shameless and egotistical nature. ^[1]

Rigor adds a ‘love of life,’ the power to win over others, sudden fame and sudden losses, grandly liberal, changeable, subject to losses, and unknown fears. ^[2]

Zosma indicates those who have the ability to prophesy. On the Euphrates, the star, along with Coxa (Chertan), was the god Kua, the Oracle. ^[3]

New Moon conjunct Zosma (0°35′): A limiting influence but the power to win over others, likable and appealing, gains many friends, some of whom will prove to be false friends in time of need. Preferment in government, business, legal, sports and matters dealing with the public. Subject to losses of sublime nature, can become quite influential but go so high and no higher, and a quite outgoing appearance, but in reality, is somewhat reserved. ^[2]

New Moon September 2024 Meaning

The two major influences on the September 2 new moon are Mars square Neptune and the fixed star Zosma. They share several similarities, including immorality, meanness, melancholy, shamelessness, false friends, losses, fear of poison and unknown fears.

Mars square Neptune adds confusion, weakness, discouragement, deception, guilt, and a lack of faith. Zosma adds benefits through disgrace, changeability, melancholy, unhappiness, and the ability to prophesy.

The September 2024 new moon opposite Saturn reinforces the themes of fear, worry, loss, grief, guilt, unhappiness, melancholy, discouragement and lack of faith. There is a risk that exposure to too much negativity and bad news can lead to a loss of hope.

In the short term, the outlook is depressing when you read the news headline. It is important to remember that things will get better. There is reason to be optimistic, with the Magic Triangle from 2025 to 2028 signaling a bright future.

Moon Phases

This is the final new moon of the current eclipse phase, which ends with the September 17 lunar eclipse. This means the issues the previous eclipses brought up increasingly seek resolution as this eclipse phase nears its end. So, it is time to look back at how those eclipses affected you and complete projects you began so you can draw a line under them and be ready for the coming eclipses with a clean slate.

The March 25 lunar eclipse promotes love, good fortune, cooperation, and a desire for peace. It encourages friendship and cooperation, but the terms for peace may be unrealistic or suspicious.
The April 8 solar eclipse aligned with Chiron to bring wounding and healing. However, a positive Jupiter influence should manifest more as healing than wounding and promote a spiritual awakening or Christ Consciousness.
