new moon in virgo
23rd August @ 4:08pm Melbourne, @6:08am London, 22nd August @11:08pm San Francisco
A new moon is a great time to set new intentions, and Virgo won’t leave any stone unturned in doing what needs to be done to ensure a successful outcome at the end of this particular lunar cycle.
During the dark moon before any slither of light appears in the sky, the planning can begin. This is when the Virgo MO really kicks in to help identify an objective, streamline ideas and organize thoughts so energy isn’t wasted or misdirected in the process.
Virgo is detail oriented, very particular, methodical and will work tirelessly to get the job done. This sounds great and seems like the perfect recipe for everything to go along smoothly as planned. But sometimes the best laid plans can go astray……….enter Uranus.
At the time of the new moon, the Sun/Moon are in a challenging aspect to Uranus which threatens to interfere with the Virgo agenda. Uranus can upset the order of things but doesn’t necessarily create disruption for the sake of it (well, not always). A Uranus intervention is usually an indication that change is required for something new or different to emerge.
If Uranus’ position brings with it any tension or anxiety, why not try to use it to your advantage. Rather than see it as an inhibitor, recognise it a catalyst to bring about a new methodology or mindset to help shape your monthly intention.
This New Moon in Virgo could be a good time to
· Implement new eating regimes, exercise plans or anything that supports health and wellbeing
· Get any messes cleaned up and sorted out (figuratively or physically)
· Organize and systemize
· Become more detail oriented
· Take note of the fine print or any subtle inferences that may previously been overlooked.
Uranus does tend to shake things up but in Gemini there is a possibility of some collaboration with the New Moon in Virgo because the planet Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo. Through Gemini, Mercury is the seeker of information; through Virgo, Mercury transforms data and information into knowledge through practical implementation.
