Note that in this case, we take into consideration the mean Black moon position, in my opinion, it appears to be the most meaningful in most classical cases. But keep in mind that when it comes to the Black moon we must see things with a “zonal” perspective (an area with an Orb), rather than as a fixed material point.
The black moon enters Virgo around October 3, 2023 and exits around June 29, 2024, and this remains an a priori strong and well-dignified sector for it, since it is often described in this sign as being in exaltation (the analytical and precise side is maximized).

Main signs impacted during this transit:
The whole Mutable cross: Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, as well as the Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn, will be more aware of this passage.
An additional trigger to watch for?
The beginning of this transit of the black moon is directly related to the Venusian retrograde loop in Leo in the summer of 2023, because from the beginning of October 2023, Venus will definitively come out of its retrograde loop, and it will form a conjunction with the black moon, which means that this type of force can help a lot to decide / finalize relational or affective points during this period
This marks enormously this entry of the black moon into Virgo, where it can be more easily “dry and brittle”, but where it can help to purge elements that have remained unresolved over the last few months (since the end of spring), in addition here facing Saturn (frank opposition), it can force quite a few to take responsibility and show maturity (even if it activates frustrating energies in passing)
In this sign, the black moon will also tend to resonate more strongly in the medium term with the transit of Jupiter in Taurus and this can help more directly, for example, different socio-professional choices to be made at the end of 2023, especially from the end of November and in December, when there will be a trine established between the two which can help to bring about a dynamic, a change in these matters.
This may concern projects that will have emerged initially in May/June 2023, and where it may be necessary to give them a different form (it does not seem here that there is the “creation” of something new, it seems to concern a project that is already known and has been on the way since several months, but which may find here a valorization or externalization at the end of this year, and especially for the 1st decans)
From the end of February and the beginning of March 2024, the black moon will tighten this time the trine to the transit of Uranus, it fully participates in the important Uranian wave of the period, with the conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus that is preparing for April 2024! (on the 3rd decan of Taurus, this will strongly resonate all the 3rd decans of the Fixed signs, so also Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, and remains obviously a very important step to follow during the year 2024)
The black moon, adds or confirms the very sharp side of the case! The eruptive and electric side that the period can have, see once again what I have explained concerning the transit of Jupiter in Taurus at the global level, the black moon in trine can indicate that what is being played out there karmically is favorable to overcome fears, introversions, limitations…
This seems to be more about work-related forces here, the professional sphere, and it may hold important reversals, especially if one feels that one is suffering from a situation or an authority, the energy of emancipation will remain maximized by these passages, and over much of the spring of 2024.
If you have natal influences that are part of the main signs impacted by these forces, try to maximize the first 5 months of the year to build what you want to put in place socioprofessionally, the energies of the present lend themselves to it in one way or another (in a more or less harmonic way according to the whole of your own birth sky of course, but the “emancipation dynamic” is definitely there)
In June 2024, therefore at the end of its transit in Virgo, the black moon will have time to form opposition to the transit of Neptune at the end of Pisces, on the anaretic degree of the sign, and then to tighten the trine to the transit of Pluto, and this can represent a change of energetic tone that should not be neglected.
For the moment, the black moon can turn to more receptive forces and be useful to impulse a creation, a novelty, to follow one’s ideals and inspirations, one’s idealizations (a bit as if it was passing a symbolic baton to the Neptunian forces which will gain in power with the Saturn / Neptune conjunction which will be prepared in 2025), but this seems to concern more the 1st decans of the Air signs (we can see that Jupiter will also have had time to pass through Gemini at this period, but I will come back to this transit in a dedicated article of course).
Finally, this transit of the black moon in Virgo over 2023 and 2024 does not necessarily form a lot of aspects with the rest of the sky over the period, but it remains nevertheless very interesting to increase the notion of “triggering factors” on the points I have mentioned.
