★ALL New Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after★
The Moon is New in Virgo at 9°, the Virgin, on Thursday, September 1st, at 2:03am {pdt}
New Moons are a time of starting over, new beginnings, taking action steps towards your dreams and goals, creating and renewal!
SOLAR ECLIPSE!
Solar Eclipse is a time where the moon blocks the light of the sun for a period of time. During this time our solar energy is blocked. Habits and personality traits have the opportunity to be wiped clean. A fresh start is possible in a bigger way as the Solar Eclipse adds extra power to the New Moon’s energy. A COSMIC RESET and your chance to WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN. This is a Solar Detoxification!
This New Moon is connected to the Sun in Virgo. Virgo is about organization, details, creating healthy daily habits, using discernment, doing the work, shyness, planning ahead, and using caution. This energy can also bring about a fickle attitude, nitpickiness, worry, overanalyzing, judging, and an ‘above it all’ attitude.
Is your perfectionism getting in the way of your progress?
Are you too harsh and critical of yourself and others?
Is anything ever good enough?
Do your Daily Habits fit the bigger picture of what you want to create for your life?
This New Moon in Virgo is conjunct the Sun and both square Mars and Saturn. This is significant in that it adds stress and challenges to any bad habits you are wanting to break. In many ways you will feel restricted, or held back. There are things you want to do for yourself, things that please you and bring you self-gratification, things that fulfill your deepest needs. But, it’s as if you must first take a risk, a leap of faith, where typically you would prefer to be more cautious and calculated. What you know you need to do can feel heavy and aggravating. BUT, you know you must do it if you are to grow into your fullest potential. If you are to mature spiritually, if you are to expand mentally, if you are to thrive materially {financially} and physically {health} then you must do what feels uncomfortable. If you are aggravated and irritable allow yourself to be. Exercise, Meditate, Write, and Breathe. Do what needs to be done but do NOT deny what you feel. If you do, it will have a way of coming back to you through some outside circumstance, mishap, projection etc. It’s okay to feel down, lonely, distant, or as if you are separate from others. Just don’t get caught up in the illusion or stay in a negative mindset. Remember: It will pass.
Mercury goes retrograde on Tuesday, August 30th in the sign of Virgo. So, add a splash of confusion to the heaviness. Mercury Retrograde isn’t all bad. Although, it can leave us feeling a bit disoriented and unclear, if you slow down and go with the flow you can actually gain much needed clarity. It asks you to take another look at certain things and situations. In Virgo it’s good to reevaluate how what you are doing with your time and daily habits is either helping, or hindering, your progress. If you’ve been trying to improve your health and nothing is changing, what is it that you need to change in your routine and eating habits? If you are working your butt off and feeling like you never get where you want to go, how might you be squandering your time and could you work smarter? If you are constantly worrying and then attracting that which you are so worried about, how can you focus on what could go right instead? Being that Mercury is Virgo’s ruling planet we will feel it’s effects strong at the time of this New Moon. Use this time to review all the details and be very precise about your plans.
Mercury conjunct Venus and Jupiter will help you to put the pieces of the puzzle together so you can get a broader perspective. It’s as if your day to day occurrences, synchronicities, and the messages you’ve been receiving are starting to make sense and you are able to comprehend your life, and challenges, with more clarity. Finally, you’re understanding why things have happened as they have. In business and finances this influence brings luck for new opportunities. If you have done what you’ve needed to do and you are paying attention, new and lucrative opportunities will present themselves. The patterns in your life are becoming apparent to you and you can use this insight to successfully make changes and improvements.
The New Moon opposition Neptune adds to your sensitivity and increased intuition now. But, this aspect, along with Mercury Rx, coud also add to the confusion and escapist tendencies. Give it a second thought before you make assumptions or become overly emotional about something. It’s very likely you are not seeing things clearly. You are more sensitive to substances {drugs & alcohol} now too and you may react from subconscious habits or the need to escape, rather than conscious thought and action if you are not careful. Remember that no matter how overwhelming or burdensome current circumstances seem you are NOT a victim. You are not defeated unless you choose to accept defeat. You don’t have to apologize or feel guilty for taking care of you. You can find sympathy, compassion, and understanding now for yourself and in your relationships.
In addition, The New Moon {and The Sun} is trine Pluto {planet of Death & Rebirth}. There are powerful forces for change sweeping in and fulfillment is found through transformation. Feeling things intensely and realizing how it is connected to past conditioning, and the need to control, that keeps you obsessing over petty details, focused on semantics, and judging life. It is CRITICAL that you stop being so critical. “Criticism is information that will help you grow.” Let it be just that, an observation for where you need improvement. Not a tool to demean or belittle yourself and progress. It’s impossible to grow and make your life your Masterpiece if you are constantly judging the beautiful process. Life is art. Let it unfold. Let it be abstract. Let it be spontaneous. Let it be messy.
Affirmation:
“I stand free of critical judgments of myself and others”

HEALTH
YogaSTARology: Virgo is connected to the intestines and digestion.
Exercise: Apanasana
Directions: Lie on your back and hug your knees into your chest. Press the knees in until you feel compression in your abdomen. Then, breathe deeply into your belly. It will feel challenging but keep hugging the knees in tight and taking deep, slow, belly breaths. To intensify, you can lift your head and shoulders up and round your forehead in towards your knees. Do this for about 1minute then release and lie still in savasana with your arms by your side for 1minute.
Benefits: Compresses the belly and massages the abdominal organs. When released blood flows through and promotes movement through the intestines and digestion.
LESSON
★ Give yourself credit!
★ Let your criticisms guide you to a better version of you.
★ Don’t wallow in self-pity.
★ Nitpicking every little thing will only get you more of what you don’t want. Focus on what you do want.
★ Your habits make up the whole. Choose each action wisely.
★ Be practical and plan ahead.
