Grab your journal, light a candle, pour yourself a nice beverage and under the light of this Full Moon ask yourself the following (without judgement).

The Virgo New Moon is the perfect time to reset your space, your habits, and your energy.

This year, the Virgo New Moon is this Saturday, August 23rd.

Step One:  Light a Flame

Virgo energy loves creating order in the physical world and restoring health in our bodies, minds, and spirits.

This lunar gateway invites us to release clutter—both tangible and energetic—and create fresh patterns that truly support our wellbeing.

If you’ve been craving a sense of clarity, calm, and intentional structure, this ritual will help you align with Virgo’s healing energy and set the stage for a vibrant moon cycle ahead.

Begin by lighting a clean-burning candle in a central location of your home. As the flame flickers to life, take three slow breaths. With each inhale, invite in divine light; with each exhale, release all that no longer serves you.

Call on the Divine—whether you connect with God, Goddess, angels, guides, or the intelligence of the cosmos. Ask for assistance in creating order, harmony, and radiant health in your life. (If you can’t light a candle due to pets, children, or safety reasons, use an LED candle or simply visualize a golden flame glowing at the heart of your home.)

Step Two: Clear Physical Clutter with Intention

Choose a space—big or small—and begin clearing. Even 5 or 10 minutes makes a difference. As you tidy, declutter, or reorganize, repeat inwardly:

“As I clear my space, I clear my body, mind, and spirit. I release all that I no longer need and make way for clarity, health, and joy.”

Donate, recycle, discard, or simply reorganize items as you feel guided. Notice how the energy shifts as you move into the rhythm of clearing. This process is a ritual in itself—an offering to Virgo’s love of order and healing.

(Feel free to clean out just a small area, like your junk drawer or medicine cabinet. I personally will be focusing on my spice cupboard!  As wowzer, it is chaos and I know I have duplicates!

Step Three: Cleanse the Energy of Your Home

Before beginning, open a window or two so the old energy has somewhere to go. Then, employ one or more of the following tools:

1. Selenite Wand

Cleanse your wand first by placing it in sunlight for a few minutes or passing it through sage or incense smoke. Walk counterclockwise through your space, gently waving the wand to absorb and neutralize stagnant energy.

2. Dried Sage Bundle or Palo Santo Stick

Light your sage bundle or Palo Santo stick so it smolders, not burns, and carry a dish or plate beneath it to catch any burning embers. Move counterclockwise through your home, letting the smoke waft through each room. Visualize heaviness lifting and dissolving. When you’re done, fully extinguish the bundle in water or by sealing it in a jar.

3. Rose Water

If you’ve cleared with selenite or herbs, now move clockwise as you mist, infusing the space with sweetness, love, and harmony. If you haven’t cleared with either tool, move counterclockwise with the spray to clear lingering heaviness. Visualize and intend that the air and energy in your home are filled with beauty, order, and peace.

4. Chime or Bell

Stand in the center of each room and ring your chime. Imagine the sound waves sweeping away residue, lifting the vibration, and filling the space with uplifting, sparkling energy.

Step Four: Anchor Your New Moon Intentions

Return to the candle or central location. Place your hands in prayer position at your heart, close your eyes, and breathe deeply.

Bring to mind your Virgo New Moon intentions—especially those related to health, clarity, order, organization, and healing. Feel these intentions as already true.

Feel the harmony, joy, and ease they bring.

Open your palms outward and imagine your intentions radiating through your home as golden light, blessing every room and every corner with fresh, vibrant energy.

Offer gratitude—for the moon, for your home, for the clarity you’re stepping into.

Extinguish the candle, knowing your ritual is complete.

Why This Virgo New Moon Ritual Works

Decluttering your home during the Virgo New Moon doesn’t just create physical order—it creates spiritual spaciousness.

Virgo’s energy helps us align small, everyday actions with greater purpose, so that even simple acts like tidying a drawer or misting with rose water become magical methods of summoning the life you desire.

When your space is clear and your energy is balanced, your intentions have fertile ground in which to grow.
