New Moon in Virgo - Monday, August 25th, 2014 at 7:13 AM PST





This New Moon in Virgo is heralding a perfect time for self-improvement and organization. Both the sun and the moon will be located in the 12th house, which is not an auspicious placement normally. Although the 12th house is associated with spirituality, the 12th house is also associated with secrets and wounds. The 12th house has a tendency to hide or redirect the energies of the planets, so you might feel more overlooked or alone.



On the west coast, the sun and the moon will both in the sign of Virgo and in opposition to Neptune (the planet associated with the 12th house), which might suggest this time of introspection is purposeful. Neptune is calling your attention to who you are and what you feel in an effort to do some internal and external housekeeping. Virgo is an analytic sign, and with the placement of the sun and moon, there will be an emphasis of self-examination related to how you are managing your body and environment. Are you eating or drinking excessively? Are you letting your housework get a little (or a lot) behind? You are feeling less in touch with your body or more spacey? Are you having a hard time making decisions because of a lack of clarity? These are some of the possible effects of the current placement of the moon, sun, and Neptune. 



Thankfully, we have some help coming from the direction of Pluto. Historically, Pluto can be a bit of an instigator, but in this context, he is providing a way to resolve the tension created by Neptune. Pluto forms a trine with the sun, the moon, and mercury, which will help force the truth into awareness. You will have an opportunity for greater understanding about how to better take care of yourself by examining old patterns originating from your family of origin. 



Mercury, also in the sign of Virgo, will be in opposition to Chiron the wounded healer. How you communicate what you think and even feel might be difficult. Or, the other possibility, you might have a hard time resisting expressing your hurts and wounds to others. Chiron is encouraging us to examine our communication and see how we can improve the way we express ourselves to others. 



Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn will all be interacting closely with one another while Uranus gives them the chance to work through their issues without losing their uniqueness. Relationships (romantic and platonic) might have a little extra emotional charge, but like the other placements, this energy is meant to help resolve long-standing relationship issues.


Concise Considerations


  1. Intentions focused on self-improvement and organization will be strengthened. 
  2. Intentions focused on dealing with old wounds will be strengthened. 
  3. Intentions focused on improving physical health through nutrition and exercise will be strengthened. 
  4. Intentions focused on domestic improvements will be strengthened. 
  5. Intentions focused on being heard or communicating differently will be strengthened. 
  6. Intentions focused on mental clarity will be strengthened. 
  7. Intentions focused on improving problem-solving will be strengthened. 
  8. Intentions focused on connecting with your personal spirituality, religion, or philosophy will be strengthened. 
  9. Intentions focused on removing barriers to immediate work problems (but not necessarily long-term career plans) will be strengthened.
