The New Moon in Virgo invites you to get grounded in present time, discern your priorities and make changes to improve your health and environment.
Virgo is a sign of preparation, and this lunar cycle offers an opportunity to prepare for wild times ahead – the cosmic storm that will peak this fall as the Saturn-Uranus square comes into exactness during powerhouse eclipses and a twisty-turny Mars retrograde.
By preparation I do NOT mean freaking out about the future! (Not helpful.) Rather, this is a time to get rooted in the routines that feel nourishing and help you feel more peaceful and balanced. This is the best New Moon of the year for establishing (or improving) daily habits that will support your emotional, mental and physical health moving forward.
The New Moon precisely squares action planet Mars – which has just started its seven-month visit to Gemini. Mars in Gemini excites your curiosity, empowers your mind, and energizes the urge to communicate, connect, learn and teach.
While the less fun potentials of this square are scattered energy, info-overwhelm and self-attack, the higher potential is to use the power of your attention – your inner Warrior-Magician – to discern and take action on what you truly love and value.
To get more specific about what this New Moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 4° Virgo.
The areas of your life signified by that house are where there’s powerful energy for new beginnings, and where you’re invited to:
initiate a new start in health, healing and wholeness;
make changes in your routines, rituals and environment;
improve your skills or learn something new;
simplify, organize and increase your efficiency and productivity;
release judgment and accept the perfection of what is.
In my 55-minute New Moon transmission, I go into all the Virgoan details about this new lunar cycle, and give you practical astro-navigational guidance for the next month.
I cover:
Uranus turning retrograde and the retro-emphasis of this time;
Venus in Leo squaring Uranus and the Nodes and opposite Saturn (BIG decisions around love, money and creative projects);
Mercury in the retro shadow and opposing Jupiter for weeks (big ideas and potential foot-in-mouth syndrome);
and much more!
