Thursday, September 10 - a Virgo New Moon

So much has happened this summer with rapid-fire movement of all the outer planets into volatile fire and air signs! We need a moment!

The earthy, grounded Virgo New Moon allows us to catch our breath. Virgo territory is about health, wellness, service, and self care. Stress definitely impacts our wellness! If you have planets in the mid-degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces or Gemini, Taurus or Capricorn, you may feel this energy more intensely.

But self care does not mean hiding your head in the sand. Resist the impulse to pull the covers over your head and ignore what is going on around you. We have had some spectacular flooding disasters since the August 27 partial Lunar eclipse in the water sign of Pisces - flooding along the Nepal - China border as a glacier collapse, in the Grand Canyon and flooded rivers in Uruguay displacing 2,000. On a personal level, we cannot allow ourselves to be flooded emotionally. Virgo’s superpower is critical discernment. And that is hard to do if you look away. Find what renews you, and commit to moving from anxiety to the courage of a new vision- to move from despair to optimism.This raises your frequency and that of your community and planet. It is one of the most positive ways you can contribute to the overall good. Hold space for hope.

Jupiter in Leo (new opportunities for joy and creativity) and Saturn in Aries (calculated risk taking) are working in harmony now. This is absolutely dynamite for starting or expanding a new business or other project. This energy will wax and wane into 2027 when there will be two more exact meetings between these planets.

Uranus is stationing (stopping, a powerful moment! It may feel a bit like a Mercury retrograde for a couple of days), so that it can begin retrograde motion on September 13, lasting until February 8, 2027. We are literally going over unresolved issues that Uranus met this summer. During the retrograde, we may find we have missed something or develop a new perspective. We have a lot of questions about how new technologies will affect us on a human, day to day level, and we are not finished yet. How will society react to job loss from AI, climate change, fuel needs, etc.? Virgo is a good time to seed a response to make daily life better.
