With so many planets retrograde in a narrow section of the zodiac, how is your personal focus, re-evaluation, reckoning and self-auditing going?
This week, as Mercury turns forward in Virgo and Pluto squares Ceres, ask yourself:
- In what and whom am I currently investing my skills, money, possessions, time and love?
- Is all this effort congruent with my values and priorities?
- Do I need a rethink about how I use my precious resources?
Change is written all over September 14th’s New Moon at 22° Virgo. It forms a Kite pattern with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus while Mercury – ruler of Virgo – is stationing ready to turn direct on September 15th.
All New Moons are an opportunity for a new beginning, but this New Moon in Virgo is an especially helpful time to start new habits or to stop harmful ones.
The New Moon’s trine to Uranus in fellow Earth sign Taurus means becoming even more flexible, responsive and innovative in the face of unexpected change. The Sky God operates by delivering unpredictable shocks, reversals or insights that electrify you out of your comfort zone, teaching you to collaborate with the inevitable.
It’s also a time to become much more innovative in your work, your craft, your service and your routines, experimenting with new methods and modalities that take you out of your comfort zone.
This will mean shedding and moving on from outdated New Age modalities and techniques that attempt to change others from the outside in – so many of the old ways of working, processes and procedures that you have relied on, which always got results in the past, are no longer working….

New Moon VIRGO 22
Chandra Symbol New Moon VIRGO 22: A woman writing with the tip of her fingernail.
“Sharply attuned. Self-consistent. Always telling the same story in variations–autobiography. So much to say, such a lineage to articulate and reveal. Intent upon staying on course and witnessing how it is done, why it is done. Selected by destiny to be the one to exemplify the way it should be done. Willing and able to do this forever and do nothing else. So straight and narrow that it becomes idiosyncratic and self-referential. The name of the game is to call the shots, to stay on top of the situation and to tap every level of intelligence to make your way purely and precisely where you were intended to be, in the master plan being followed.” – Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
