The new moon in Virgo on Friday late and early Saturday for the east coast is at zero degrees Virgo and 23 minutes is going to be a month of unexpected experiences, sometimes we like surprises and sometimes not. Uranus at 1 degrees 22 minutes of Gemini is square this new moon which means this month there will be twists and turns in the plot lines of our lives. Remember, your response matters and you get to be the editor. It takes pondering and reviewing multiple times to get it just right. We also will have two Virgo new moons this month, this is the first one, the next will be an eclipse. Virgo moon soothes with the examination of the physical world and matter. Our focus may be on analyzing our emotions rather than allowing our feeling natures to just exist, our felt presence turns more into examining why we think, feel, just why we are the way we are and perhaps how our lives have shaped our perceptions and behaviors over time.
The Virgo new moon brings a focus into our practical lives, the daily routines, what creates our everyday life from our health and our humble lives. It may be a month to check all your fire alarms, batteries, things you have that are practical but an important part of what we expect to work when we need them to. Uranus will be stationing to go retrograde on September 6th at 1 degrees 28 minutes. It will be extra intense for a week before, especially day of, and the week after as it slows down in our perception from our earthly position and it reflects that intensity to us. Uranus is not within the bounds of your own free will, it is a transpersonal planet, so there will be unexpected things and events we are invited to work through and manage. Knowing your personal Uranus cycles at age 21-22 and 38-44 and 76-84 depending on when you were born are valuable for knowing what has been stimulated for your healing and evolutionary growth. We participate, sometimes it can be tragic with losses, but it is a pattern of disruption that clears for something new to be rebirthed too. It’s how we look at it. Our response is important, being flexible, but sometimes the changes are so intense as it is a marker of high energy that is expressed and we are often unconscious as to how and why it is expressed, however it has a deeper purpose about understanding something of what it is to be human. This new moon culminates on September 7th 11:09 am PDT (2:09 pm EDT) with a lunar eclipse at 15 degrees Pisces 23 minutes.
Mercury in Leo at 12 degrees 33 minutes is going over the degrees it went over recently in late June and early July before the recent past retrograde cycle. In a few days Mercury will leave the degrees of the retrograde and move beyond them. Consider what has surfaced in life during June-July and again in early August for your personal life direction. When Mercury has a retrograde in Leo I think there may be a sensitive time for ego, the inner child, or that inner child reappears through life experiences that require our tender attention. Things can get quite raw when any inner child shadow is activated.
Venus in Cancer at 27 degrees will soon enter Leo on Monday, August 25th, just as many children and young adults go back to school or enter their university classrooms for the first time. Jupiter in Cancer at 16 degrees 14 minutes emphasizes our feeling natures, these are significant moments of emotional needs being realized and fulfilled too, not without some moments of obstacles. Jupiter and Venus in Cancer have separated from Saturn in Aries at zero degrees 35 minutes and Neptune at 1 degrees 34 minutes of Aries, though still square by being in a cardinal sign. Mars in Libra at 10 degrees is separating from the opposition to Saturn and Neptune. Mars, the planet of action, and war and conflict has had to be at the table as an ambassador acting more civilly, but soon Mars will enter Scorpio and the intensity of investigation and probing determination will expand. The reality for many will shift to dealing with increased darker realities than we care to admit in the light of day, fears may be intensified as humanity faces off with the dark human shadow that is reflecting back with ever greater intensity the need for healing our psyches. Mars enters Scorpio just before the fall equinox on September 22 around 12:55 am.
Several outer planets are retrograde, with Uranus joining them on September 4th. There is an opportunity for us all to turn inward, examine our inner world, observing our thought patterns. Pluto is retrograde at 1 degrees of Aquarius still giving us all something super deep to manage through HOW we are transformed through and with technology we create. How is that same technology reflecting back to us our shadow? Over the next twenty years as Pluto transits Aquarius we will deeply know what that means for our humanity. It is a period of detoxification for us all, allowing space to meditate, observe and listen. It should be our practice, but life can take us in so many directions and often we lose our time and space to breathe until we give it our priority. We are creative beings, so we may spend too much time on the outer manifestations of our lives and lose track of the process of creation has a cycle like most anything in our third dimension. Sense from the dark new moons what is ready to be birthed. We operate in a flow of birthing, fulfilling, fading or deconstructing back to earth with new seeds dropped to birth again. Remember the beauty of the process, not just the creation. Life is ever magical and mysterious, which is lovely to discover again and again. It is all mental. And we should remember that we are infinite beings having a finite experience in the physical world, isn’t it fascinating, sometimes fun, sometimes scary what we individually and collectively experience in this thing called LIFE. Namaste. Bless this moment.
