New Moon in Virgo, August 28, 2011

© Vlad | Dreamstime.com

After the excitement of Leo season with Mars in Cancer aggravating the Uranus-Pluto square, the New Moon at 5° 27′ Virgo on 28 August 2011, 8:04 PM PDT, is positively mellow . . . something most of us will find very welcome.

This is a great New Moon to sit down and work out new routines and daily schedules. In fact, with Pluto in Capricorn AND Jupiter in Taurus trine the luminaries, you may not have much choice in the matter. Capricorn is an orderly sign and understands the need for setting [...]

Virgo New Moon, September 8, 2010

On September 8, 2010 3:30 AM PDT we will celebrate a New Moon at 15° 41′ Virgo, the sixth sign of the zodiac, and have our annual refresher course on this service oriented sign with its penchant for organization and ‘to do’ lists.

This year’s New Moon chart finds the planets grouped together as if they were at a house party holding forth in separate venues with little interaction between the groups. The Virgo Sun and Moon have wandered out into the kitchen garden to chat about what’s in season and needs to be harvested; Venus [...]

Because Mercury, Virgo’s ruler, is part of the Virgo stellium, it would appear to tilt the seesaw in Virgo’s favor over Uranus in Pisces, the sole body on the other end of the opposition. While I’m not entirely sure Uranus is not an even match, I do believe it is an opportunity to look more deeply into the [...]

New Moon in Virgo, August 30, 2008

down on the farm

The New Moon this Saturday, August 30, is the first following the pair of eclipses earlier this month. The Sun and Moon at 7°48′ Virgo, conjunct Saturn, emphasize responsible manifestation of our goals.

Saturn is the taskmaster, but at least we find that what he asks of us is easy to understand – not necessarily pleasant, but understandable. Saturn reminds us of the need to behave in a responsible manner. When he’s in Virgo, being of service to others is high on his priorities list. We are being asked to eat our vegetables first, then dessert!

One of the [...]
