The Virgo New Moon August 30th is time to roll up your sleeves and get down to the nitty gritty. Several planets are now gathered in Virgo - the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Juno, putting an emphasis on work, productivity and efficiency.
Virgo is good at assessing a situation, knowing what needs doing and how to go about doing it. You’re hyper-focused on what’s workable, doable and practical as your mind is methodical and analytical pouring over specifics and sorting things out. This period favors problem solving, organizing, ordering and systematizing. You can break down a situation to its finer points and parts along with the steps needed to make things run along smoothly.
There may be an emphasis on your skills, services or your craft now; perhaps you introduce something new which gets you noticed. Maybe you’re open to learning new skills or seeking new employment or hiring employees, an apprentice, helper or handyman, maybe you’re one yourself.
Health and healing matters are also in the realm of Virgo and with so much planetary power in this sector of the sky, these topics call your attention now. Perhaps you’re on the mend or in therapy. This phase is promising for embarking on new diet and fitness routines, for detox and purification or for finding the right healer, doctor or protocol.
The theme of healing is further presented with the presence of Chiron in Aries, Ceres in Sagittarius and Hygiea in Gemini influencing this New Moon, suggesting that there are alterations and adjustments in this healing phase linking body, mind and spirit - applying alternative healing practices and modalities, energy healing, body work, eating the right foods, herbs, supplements and getting out into natural surroundings.
Mars closely connected to this New Moon gives loads of get up and go to your plans and projects. We haven’t had Mars’ oomph in this slice of the heavens for nearly two years! You’re now aiming for improvement and course correction, feeling nothing short of perfection will do.
Uranus in Taurus connects with Mars, the New Moon and the rest of the gang now positioned in Virgo, energizing and progressing things along quickly, perhaps quite suddenly. It will be an eventful time possibly bringing a few shockwaves to your system but you’re able to easily make changes, get unstuck and fast forward. These shifts will be unmistakable, clear, constructive and practical, becoming the new normal.
Saturn in Capricorn contacts the crowd in Virgo helping you to narrow your focus so you concentrate only on the essentials, zoning in on your goals, being vigilant, disciplined, discerning and realistic, classifying things by usefulness or functionality, enabling you to get down to the bare bones and discarding anything irrelevant or unimportant.
This period is optimal for getting your shit together by clearing the clutter and organizing, creating healthy habits and routines or systemizing and streamlining processes and procedures perhaps involving technology or automation. This also means clearing your mind of blocks, habits and programs that have outlived their usefulness or associations and situations no longer sound or suitable. The Universe has your back, so changes happen almost effortlessly while providing the strength to stick it out for the long haul.
New Moon Blessings and Healing Vibes to ALL!
