New Moon in Virgo: Cleaning Up, Getting Organized, and Becoming Healthier

Very early tomorrow (August 30th 2019) we are having a New Moon in Virgo. The Virgo energy will be high with 5 planetary bodies in Virgo. This New Moon marks a new starting point for the month ahead. 

This is time for a reset, but in Virgo fashion. Not only do we have 5 planetary bodies in Virgo, but there are 8 in earth signs. The focus is definitely on our material lives, physical lives and on practical matters. At this new starting point it's important to get your life in order, to feel organized. Sort out your work life (it's a good time to start new jobs for some). Get your finances sorted out. If you're scattered in your physical life it's time to get organized. Sort out the details. If anything in your physical life is messy it's a good time to clean it up. Forget spring cleaning, it's time for some end of summer cleaning! It's also important to pay attention to your health and body at this time. Make some new promises to yourself for better self-care. Implement new health routines. Whether it's eating healthier, new exercise routines, skincare, better sleeping patterns or even routines to chill you out and get you in a better mental space like meditating. Our physical lives are where the attention is at. It's time to be organized and healthy. 

Mars is the planet that's the most closely aligned with the New Moon. This is great because Mars propels us forward. It's time to move full steam ahead in your life, just in Virgo fashion. No rushing ahead impulsively. Do so in an organized and calculated way. 

Mercury and Venus are also in Virgo at the time of the New Moon and are joined in this Virgo stellium. With Mercury our minds are ready to think practically and get things in order, which is helpful. With Venus this shows relationships can be involved in all this too. There could be some fresh beginnings in relationships. It's important to make sure relationships are in a healthy space at this time and that they are working well on an everyday level. It's wonderful and important to have all the romance, passion and fun, but it's also important to make sure relationships work practically speaking. To make sure they fit into our everyday lives as well. We're basically just taking stock of every area of our lives and making sure it all works out as it should. Then moving forward with it all. 

The New Moon will be exactly trine Uranus in Taurus. We've been dealing with this Uranus energy all this week leading up to the New Moon as well. This is definitely a time of a lot of change. Our lives are changing. New things are coming together. Sure we need to have everything in order and all that, but not like how we used to. Our lives may be quite different than before, so we need to figure out how to organize and navigate in whatever new life you find yourself in or whatever changes you are going through. Just because some of this energy sounds boring and overly practical doesn't mean things should be stagnant or stay the same. With Uranus here, you need a breath of fresh air, some shake ups, some excitement amidst the need to be grounded. 

Hope everyone has a great New Moon! This is the perfect energy to usher in September with. Sort out the new reality you would like, make any changes, get your life in order and move full steam ahead! Just make sure you don't fall into over perfectionism or being overly critical with all this Virgo energy. All this energy can really help make your material and physical life better however. 

New Moon in Virgo: New Beginnings in Our Physical/Material lives

On Sunday (September 9th 2018 at 11:01 AM) we're having a New Moon in Virgo! New Moon's are always exciting times where we get to plant seeds for new beginnings. We were in such retrograde filled energy throughout the summer, that's its nice that things are slowly picking up the pace. 

I've been talking about how the earth energy has been highlighted a lot lately. Our physical/material lives have been center stage. Virgo is an earth sign, so this New Moon adds to that energy. This is a great time to think of things you would like to manifest in your material/physical world. This is a great time to start new practical ventures and projects, a great time to get organized, to start a new routine or to make a greater commitment to your health. This New Moon heralds potential new things in our physical/material lives. 

Now let's talk about the aspects to the New Moon. To start off we have Neptune opposing the New Moon. This may add a bit of confusion to what we want to manifest. Perhaps we aren't quite exactly sure what we want. This opposite pull from Neptune may also make it seem best to just escape, get lost in fantasy land instead of manifesting what we'd like in this human world. The best way to balance this energy is to utilize the highest octave of Neptune, the spiritual dimension of life. Balancing your spiritual side, with your earthy human side. To bring the dreams of your spirit and manifest it into reality. To trust that the universe will bring you what you need in life. That it will set you on the right path. Time to connect to that energy. 

The New Moon is also sextile Jupiter in Scorpio and trine Pluto in Capricorn. (Jupiter and Pluto are also sextile each other) This is some great energy for growth and transformation. Jupiter in Scorpio can help us grow into a life that is aligned with our deepest desires. What do you desire? What have you been pushing down into the depths of your being that would truly satisfy you if you could have it. Desire causes us strife when we think it's something outside of us that we don't have. If we acknowledge that we have everything we desire already, if we get into that mindset, it will be easier for us to manifest those desires into our everyday lives now. The trine to Pluto shows lots of transformation in the structures of our physical lives. Changes are afoot! We have been in a holding pattern all summer. It's like we were in an airport waiting for our flight the whole time and now it's finally here! It's time for take off! 

The day of the New Moon, Venus moves into Scorpio. This is an intense placement for Scorpio. It will go retrograde in this sign in about a month, so the energy of Venus in Scorpio is one we will have for awhile. This is all about having a life and relationships that are deeply fulfilling on a soul level, filled with passion. We are awakening more and more into what we truly desire. Venus makes some tough aspects however as it moves through the beginning degrees of Scorpio.The first aspect is makes  is an inconjunct to Chiron in Aries. Chiron in Aries is retrograde helping us uncover our wounds around identity so that we can move past them. This inner drive to heal our identities is at odds with the passionate romantic Venus in Scorpio at the moment. 

~ Overall this is a wonderful time of new beginnings. Our physical/material lives are growing, expanding, transforming and falling into place. They are becoming aligned with our true desires. ~

New Moon in Virgo: Self Improvement, Re-Organization, and that Unattainable Thing Called Perfection

© Lily Moon

On August 25th 2014 at 7:13 AM (PDT) there will be a New Moon in Virgo. There isn't a whole lot of action going on around the New Moon, but it still might bring forth some issues related to perfection, self improvement or organization. If you have a planet in Virgo in your chart then it will probably affect you a little more deeply than others. 

Virgo is greatly concerned with perfection. This means in general that the New Moon asks us to decide what we could make better in our lives. What area needs improvement? Is it your work life, home life, relationships etc.? Virgo is also concerned with organization so another great question to ask is which area of your life needs organizing? Is is your home, your desk, your office, your life in general or even your thoughts?  If you can find an area of your life that needs improvement or organizing then now is a great time to set intentions for that. 

Those little simple issues will be what most people will have to think about and set intentions for, but if you have any Virgo planets in your chart that are somewhere around 2 degrees of Virgo than this New Moon will be a more intense experience for you. If you have a Virgo planet than you might already be a perfectionist in some way shape or form in a certain area in your life. This means that one way the New Moon could affect you is by bringing up any tendencies to over critize and get overly caught up with a state of perfection that simply isn't possible to reach. If you are doing any of those things than you might feel like you are living in cage that you created for yourself and are blocking some good things from coming into your life or blocking your own happiness. If this is the case than the Virgo New Moon will remind you that to truly improve yourself it would be wise to stop being so hard on yourself and everything around you. The New Moon could encourage you to manifest a way of living life where you stop trying to over perfect everything and drop the 'I'm not good enough' syndrome. If this is something that you feel needs to happen in your life, than the New Moon could be really empowering for you.  

Another way the New Moon could manifest if you have a Virgo planet in your chart would be to help you get organized if you haven't been lately. Then the New Moon could help you kicks start into a cycle of re organization. 

~Overall the New Moon probably won't be too intense or strong for a lot of people. If you have Virgo in your chart though, it could be quite powerful. Remember that complete perfection is unattainable and that you are your own jailer. So if you've been too hard on yourself, set yourself free already with this wonderful New Moon. If you need to get yourself organized on the other hand than use the Virgo Moon's magical abilities of organization to get your life in order! Also, don't forget to set intentions, as they are the most important part of manifesting what you want during the time of the New Moon ~
