The new moon in Virgo sparks contact at zero degrees, late Friday/early Saturday, so Friday night is dark. The Sun-ruled Leo Moon narrows to a sliver; when it hits Mercury-ruled Virgo, darkness speaks volumes.
Friday’s Leo Moon builds and holds a trine to retro Chiron in Aries through the end of the sign. Mercury perfects its opposition to Pallas Athena in Aquarius midday. Now is the time to build solutions as incoming intelligence registers and shines a light. The mood favors simple, generous, and loving action, fueled by a need to improve and champion.
Nighttime takes us into a transition from fire to earth. A yod from retro Pluto in Aquarius sextile retro Saturn-Neptune in Aries points at the shifting Moon as it changes sign. Uranus in Mercury-ruled Gemini squares the Moon and the Sun. Outside forces shift reality to force a change? Not exactly.
In this scenario, we’re lighting a fire through taking primary steps for motivation. These steps employ softening the edges of reality and taking in the full range of possibility, regardless of prior experience but also utilizing it. Activating yourself symbolically through literal motion can help to open mentally and metaphorically when inspiration strikes. Its strike may be shocking, so movement preps your inner lightning rod. Expect it to come from more than one direction.
Good thing? Bad thing? Different things. Change and accommodation to change. A fresh start! It’s yours to encompass. A grounded Virgo mood and orientation can take all that energy, repurpose it, and direct it: inward, outward, and down. Move your body and treat it well during this short transition. Utilize your connection to nature. Have you ever looked into Tai Chi or Chi Gong? You don’t even have to know what you’re doing to benefit, just graceful, mindful movements. Your body knows what it’s doing.
Saturday night, the Virgo Moon moves through the midpoint of the waning Leo Mercury, Libra Mars sextile then moves into sextile with Jupiter in Cancer overnight, putting Mercury on their midpoint. As the Virgo new moon grows in light, insights are absorbed at a growing rate. The mood is interested, interesting, and full of new life! Need a new life? Pay attention to what the old one is telling you and make plans for action. It’s innervating, innovating, life-affirming, and SWEET.
As Venus nears the end of Cancer, it heads into opposition with retro Pluto and trine to retro Saturn-Neptune. Change is coming, but before it does, it touches off a great deal of nostalgia and cravings for delights and conditions that are gone or untouchable. Untouchable is not the same as intangible, though that may be true as well. In fact, to find out which is which will be favorable. Are they gone because you want them gone or do you want them gone because they are unavailable (or toxic)? Being real with your own heart will lead you to the truth.
What was once a delight may now be only a delight of memory. Perhaps it’s time to switch up your ideal treasures and pursue a fresher treat.
Can you safely sample to find out which, or should this be a theoretical exercise? You own nature will be the determining factor. In any case, lighting strikes and senses can change. Novelty wins over nostalgia if you want to create something real going forward. Enjoy the nostalgia, but invest in reality.
Mars in Venus-ruled Libra trines Pallas Athena through Sunday afternoon. Mars also squares Jupiter as Jupiter trines natural pair Juno in Scorpio (ongoing). Feelings and circumstance may force your hand to action or observation and the trappings of propriety. However, there’s a greater force at play which offers some protection. Lock down the philosophy and values that govern your heart and you’re looking toward joy and shared satisfaction.
Sunday morning, the Virgo Moon perfects its sextile to Jupiter and sextiles Juno as well, crossing their midpoint as it crosses the Moon’s south node. It’s a moment of mastery, so take a moment or two to FEEL it. You already have it within you to master this moment and lock in your success story. It’s particularly active for mastering matters of competition, envy, or jealousy. Center emotional health. These issues may be an illusion.
For the rest of the day, the Sun perfects its square to Uranus, Mars finishes its trine to Pallas, then the Virgo Moon heads into quincunx with retro Chiron, exact overnight. Set your sights on moving through any present challenges to put your mind at ease. Address issues as they come and take on only what you can manage in the moment’s reality. Sure, go ahead and keep thinking things through so you stay on track, but “fill what’s empty, empty what’s full” till the next option is ready for action. That’s how you level up.
Don’t burn yourself out. That serves no one. Your evening mood will reflect how well you’re achieving this goal. Use it as a tool, like a thermometer, not as a club to beat yourself. Praise yourself for the job well done today. Head away from the practice of berating yourself for the things left on your plate that you can handle in the future. Tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow always comes.
The new moon takes place at 0 degrees Virgo. Where does it fall in your chart? What sort of new project are you contemplating? Do you have any weekend plans?
