VIRGO NEW MOON

VIRGO NEW MOON
14 September 2023
9:40 PM EST
21 degrees 58 minutes Virgo
The new Virgo Moon is trine to retrograde Pluto at 28 degrees Capricorn. It is trine to retrograde Uranus at 22 degrees Taurus.
The Moon is opposing retrograde Neptune at 26 degrees Pisces. Some of these orbs are wider than others but I would count them in.
The outer planets, all in retrograde motion will affect this Virgo new Moon on all levels. Virgo does take actions of service to self (there’s no need for martyrs here – enough of that already! 😊) and to others. It gardens and writes and defines. And, Virgo has a lot of internal dialogue and transformation in its nature and practice. Retrograde planets also lead us back in to meet with ourselves.
Pluto transforms and helps us to embody our power. Neptune reminds us where to walk between the waking and the dreaming – both the possible and that which is better left behind. Uranus gives us ideas we couldn’t divine with the earthly mind. It helps to see our role as unique individuals and as part of the collective. Jupiter retrograde invites us to check our growth to see what is true for us and what is just blather. Virgo has the authority to rid ourselves of what is no longer serving us, drying up the mist of confusion, and helping us to move forward on a more focused path.
Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, resumes forward motion on 15 September at 4:21 PM EST. The reflection and revision of the past three weeks will start to show itself.
The business of Virgo is to recognize and release that which no longer rings true for us, that which no longer serves us or the realization of our hopes, wishes and dreams. We are fast approaching the Equinox, a tipping point of the year. Only take with you what you find is useful and recycle the rest. Let the Universe know you mean business by releasing some possessions, people or practices that have been weighing heavy. You know what to choose.
New Moons are about having room to breathe, to fill those lungs up, fully exhale, and experience the relief.
When we move into Libra on 22 September, we shift into a more outgoing time. Can we move into the second half of the astrological year a bit lighter, unfettered, and with the curiosity brought by Mercury, curious to engage in what is next to come for us.
