On September 8, 2010 at 6:30 Am EDT, the moon will be in Virgo and will be new. When the moon is “New” it can not be seen and is thought to effect us Earth dwellers least. It is a time when we can think without the passionate influence normally associated with lunar energy. The air is ripe for beginings, introspection and renewal. Is it not befitting then, that the new moon, just after a Pisces full moon, be in Virgo?
In the midst of so many aspects demanding that we grow and stretch ourselves, came a spiritual epiphany from the Pisces full moon. We were given the blessing of spiritual understanding. Many of us began to understand our situations (which are ultimately blessings) and why they manifest as they did. And now we are being given the blessings of analysis, service, detail and PATIENCE. Associated with Mercury, Virgo energy is very intelligent and swift and is associated with Thoth the Thrice Great (any other Virgos have a love affair with the number 3?) Take advantage of this thoughtful time and write down your new plans. Be detailed and honor yourself and others.
The coming new moon in Virgo is asking us to make adjustments to our journey or fine tune the path we are already on by paying attention to detail. But more than ever, what a Virgo New Moon is transmitting to us is, be of service to others. It is here, in the laying down of ego, where we will find our true joy and abundance, where we will find our true selves. When we analyze our situations and see how we can affect change not only in ourselves, but in others, we win. Making changes first in our own lives and then offering to the Universe the bit of wisdom we have gained is the ultimate illustration of growth and true inner power.
We must watch however, that the Virgo energy of observing details does not overwhelm us and set us on a worrisome course. The forest must not be forsaken for the trees and we must remain vigilant that we keep a positive attitude and strong faith that whatever challenges we face or the task we find before us are not more than we can handle. Adding the responsibility of giving back what we continue to receive from Source is easy and will not deplete us in any manner. In the midst of turmoil, anger, fear and lack offer love and watch the magic of healing materialize.
The Goddess Isis is watching and offers her undying nurturing to us all at this auspicious time. Tap into her energy to receive healing and be open to opportunities to offer it to others. Live simply so that others may simply live. Give abundantly so you always have room to receive.
