September 2026 new moon: Friday 11 September in Virgo

The September new moon is exact on Friday, 11 September 2026 at 03:28 UTC, with the Moon and the Sun together in Virgo.

Meaning

A new moon in Virgo starts a system: the tracker, the filing, the fortnight of actually taking the medication. Choose the smallest unit you can repeat daily, because Virgo cycles are judged by whether the thing is still running in three weeks, not by how good day one looked.

Rituals

  • Set 1–3 intentions you can act on within 48 hours
  • Clear digital or physical clutter in one small area
  • Light a candle and name what you are calling in

Journal prompts

  • What do I want to begin without needing instant proof?
  • Which habit would change everything if I stayed consistent?
  • What would feel like self-respect this week?

Questions about the September 2026 new moon

When is the September 2026 new moon?

Friday 11 September 2026, at 03:28 UTC — the moment the Moon and the Sun meet at the same degree of Virgo. Nothing is visible that night, which is why the date is computed rather than observed.

What sign is the September new moon in?

Virgo, the sign the Sun is passing through. A new moon is a conjunction, so the two bodies always share it, and it moves on by one sign each month.

What time is the September new moon where I am?

03:28 UTC in Universal Time, which is one instant everywhere. New York runs five hours behind it, Madrid one or two ahead, Buenos Aires three; if it falls close to midnight your local date sits a day either side of 11 September 2026.

When is the next new moon after this one?

10 October 2026, in Libra. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2026.

What should I do on the September 2026 new moon?

Start one thing and keep it small enough to survive the week. The usual practice is to write one to three intentions within a day of 03:28 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Virgo setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
