On Aug. 30, the skies will go dark as we'll experience the August 2019 new moon in Virgo. As a mutable earth sign, Virgo zodiac energy loves to be organized, helpful, logical, and well-planned. At its best, Virgo is a master planner with a genuine desire to make the world better and an eagle-eye for even the tiniest of details; at its worst, it's a nit-picky, overly-critical perfectionist with a to-do list that's two miles long. August 2019's new moon will reach its peak while it's in Virgo territory, but what does it mean when there's a new moon in Virgo? The significance of this lunar placement makes it an ideal time for cleaning up your act and pulling off a solid clean-up job on your life — and with the moody and emotional moon rising in such an analytical earth sign, it can certainly make us all feel some type of way.
