New Moon in Virgo -Aligning with our authentic form of service

Happy New Moon in Virgo Fellow Life travellers!

Here at the middle of September we have our first lunation of the month in the earth sign of Virgo at 21 degrees.
As always at a New Moon, we have an opportunity to go back to the drawing board and dream up a new intention. A potent time to launch something new in the Virgo area of your chart.
Tying in this new moon with the pagan festival of Lammas we celebrate our harvest at this time and prepare for the autumn soon to come. Virgo is often depicted with a sheaf of grain symbolising the crop of the summer slowly dwindling. Of course, our own harvest might be of a different kind, but it is a good time to reflect on the summer months gone by and asking what has been growing and coming to fruition since.
Virgo is also associated with the worthy work and of serving by offering her skills to be of use in improving and practically shaping our day-to-day life. The little daily tasks which bring about the harvest. In our own lives we might associate her with our household tasks, daily health routine or perhaps diet as Virgo rules the digestive system.
With the ruler of Virgo, Mercury, about to go direct the day after the new moon, we might have experienced a slowing down of communications and delays in decisions lately. We might have also been processing, just like our digestive system processes our food, the nutritious intake of the summer into information to keep and information to let go of. However, as the new moon coincides with its ruler going direct, there is a slow forward momentum starting to build at last, making it an even more powerful time to say and prayer and make a wish.

At this time, we also have a helpful trine from Uranus at 23 degrees of Taurus. Uranus assisting this new beginning speeds everything up as this energy is associated with the Quantum field, electricity and lightning strikes!
Uranus also tracks our evolving unique, authentic selves and its journey through Taurus covers ground such as self-worth, materials safety and nature connection. An earth sign just like Virgo, it’s a good time to wish for something of the material kind. Something which might assist our authentic selves to be of service in an aligned way.

Wishing you a fruitful New Moon time,
