New Moon in Virgo: Reset & Grow
Star friends,✨ ♍️
Bonjour! Welcome to the first days of September and the grounded magic of the New Moon in Virgo, exact on September 2, 2024 at 9:55 pm ET. May this New Moon inspire you to reset, recalibrate, reorganize, replenish and flow through the fall equinox and eclipse season with more grace, ease and faith. I will share some messages on the strengths and challenges of Virgo as well as the revolutionary power of Uranus, which turned retrograde on September 1, and the impact of Pluto retrograding back into Capricorn for the very last time. Thank you so much for joining me.
I trust that, like me, you are grateful for the cosmic intelligence and profound wisdom expressed through the movements of the stars and planets. I feel a sense of peace in the writing process because it helps me better understand and embrace the changing rhythms of life in a rapidly evolving world. This New Moon is an excellent time to set new intentions and plant new seeds of manifestation in the fertile earth magic of Virgo. If you know your birthchart, focus on the areas of life that are activated by 11 degrees of Virgo for more specific and personal meaning. This is where you can heal, grow and evolve.
The Moon-Sun alignment in Virgo initiates a new 4-week lunation cycle that is bursting with new insights, downloads, revelations and breakthroughs in many areas of life for us individually and collectively. Virgo is a very practical, hard working and intelligent Earth sign that directly connects to harvest season, nutrition, health, healing and wellness, which all contribute to efficient functioning of society.
Virgo contains a unique synergy from its blend of practical, physical intelligence as an Earth sign combined with its strong connection to Mercury, its ruling planet. Virgo loves to analyse problematic situations and apply new information in order to create practical solutions and implement more efficient and intelligent systems. Virgo also connects to our digestive system and can help us to better digest and process our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and deep unconscious habit patterns. This Virgo New Moon invites us to weed out unhealthy programming and instil strong, vibrant thinking every day.
Individuals with strong Virgo placements are very intelligent, honest, generous, humble and hard working people. Instinctively, the cosmic Maiden inside all of us, asks: how can I help? How can I serve? High vibe Virgo contains a beautiful purity of heart and mind, like a smooth polished crystal. Since Virgo strives so much for perfection on the physical plane, it can lead to worry, self-doubt and impossible standards. Virgo needs to remember to relax, let go, trust and breathe gently.
Are you thinking a lot about your service, job or career path lately? Here is a timely and inspiring message. “As you move forward into the next phase of your journey, many of you will be changing service, or stepping into service in a tangible way for the first time. There will be a myriad of ways to serve, just as delightful and individual as each of you are. Know that you will be drawn to service that matches your talents and soul agenda, and each service path is a beautiful and appropriate expression of the individual that is perfect for them. It is the combination of many different people waking up and offering their love through the service that best serves them, and the whole, that will continue to drive the shift on your planet and create the new earth you are pioneering.” ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
In this New Moon sky, we see Mars in Gemini forming a square angle to Neptune in Pisces, which reminds us to integrate logical reasoning with intuitive understanding in all our actions. This alignment also teaches us to communicate (Gemini) with care and compassion (Pisces).
Many of you will be happy to know that Mercury shifted into direct motion in late August. However, Uranus stationed retrograde on September 1, which magnifies the energy of sudden change, revolution, awakening to higher truth and stronger desires for freedom and equality. In amazing synchronicity, Pluto also retrograded back into Capricorn on this same day, September 1, just before this New Moon. We could feel the turbulence and seismic transformative effects of Uranus and Pluto for many days rippling through many spheres of human life. We are navigating a time of unprecedented and unpredictable possibilities, yet there is a palpable rise in people power and humanity standing for humanity, compelled to create and shape a positive future.
I will leave you with a lovely poetic quote from Quincy Jones that captures the spirit of this post: “May you live with lots of love to share, lots of health to spare and lots of friends who care.”
