New Moon in VIRGO ~ Courtesy of Skybear Astrology
By Larry Williamson
New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and setting intentions. The New Moon in Virgo will focus on issues related with health, healing, service and preparation. This New Moon makes a close conjunction to Saturn in Virgo. It’s never too late to pay homage to the virgin goddesses.

The woman who is virgin, one-in-herself, does what she does, not because of any desire to please, to be liked or approved, to catch his interest or love, but because what she does is true. She is what she is, because that is what she is. Virginity is a process of being true to oneself, and if one has not been true than virginity is renewable. It’s never too late to become a virgin!

Woman can renew their virginity, intactness and integrity through the rites of Aphrodite, where she would annually renew her virginity by bathing, cleansing and purifying herself by the sea. The value placed upon virginity is a man’s idea, and that’s how men and the patriarchy controlled woman. As if virginity was a wonderful thing in the first place.

The degree for the New Moon from Zodiacal Symbology reads: An antique temple of the muses built on a rock, over which flows an enchanting fall of clear sparking water. Denotes one who would seek the ideal in all things, even amidst war and destruction. One of a strange, happy, though wise philosophy of thought. It is a symbol of cultivation.

This is the best New Moon to take greater responsibility for our health physically, emotionally and spiritually. Its time to get serious about dietary changes, exercise routines and addressing medical issues we’ve been either denying, or putting off. Saturn is about commitment and Virgo represents the body. This is the right time to deal with our “inner critic” and attachment to perfectionism. There’s an indigenous saying that goes, is the good, true and beautiful in my nature as strong as the whispers of my demons and monsters?  We must answer yes to that on a daily basis.

This New Moon will energize the third of five oppositions on September 15th between Saturn and Uranus. These cycles often coincide to political, social and economic changes. The last opposition cycle was in the mid-1960s when the Civil rights movement, Vietnam War, Anti-War protests and the emergence of the Hippie revolution took center stage. Those with late degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) will feel it most intensely. Mercury, the ruler of Virgo squares Pluto on the 17th, suggesting that knowledge is power! Small issues can take on great importance. Your mind can probe beneath the surface. Secrets will be revealed.

Mercury appears retrograde 3 times a year for approximately 3 weeks at a time. Here’s the kicker ~ I attach a 3 week shadow on each side making it a 9 week period altogether.
Not all of Mercury retrograde is negative, though. Yes, cell phones and computers can get glitchy; the light can come on in your car and you take it to the mechanic and nothing is wrong with it. ( I always tell people, unless it’s the break light or something important, wait until after the retrograde to get it checked because it just might fix itself!)� Anything with communication and transportation can go haywire and if you’re a Gemini or a Virgo, ruled by Mercury, it can be even more frustrating.�

You must really be careful of what you say and how you say it.� Words can be misconstrued.� It’s also a bad time to start anything new or sign important contracts or documents.� The exception can be someone who is born with Mercury retrograde�~ it does not affect them as much.� So what can possibly be positive?� Lots!� Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to contact or hear from people from your past!� Rather than solicit new clients, return to your sphere of influence.� Reach out to someone you need to REconcile with.� It’s an awesome time to REconnect.� Go back and FINISH old projects so when the retrograde period is over you can begin new endeavors with a clean slate.� It’s not the best time to get married but how about REmarried?� Rather than plan a trip to some place new, why not REvisit a favorite destination? Different people have different opinions on traveling while Mercury is retrograde.� If it can be avoided, it probably should.� Some plans may have to be REscheduled.� It’s almost impossible to hook up with new people but an excellent time to get together with old friends or plan a REunion!� Just about anything you can put “RE” in front of works.� Refurbish, redo, reconnect etc.� The one exception can be remodeling.� If it’s your first time doing it and contracts are involved, try and wait until after.� Things will have to be REdone!�

Don’t go to a new agency, partner, or job if you can help it.� Try to connect new endeavors with the past if that makes sense.� Also, if you’ve had a dilemma you may now suddenly have an epiphany.� If you’ve been waiting for something or someone to arrive it could happen now!�
We all have the ability to focus on the positive and make the most of trying situations.� Use your energy wisely and constructively.� Rather than branching out in new directions, go down a tried and true path.� Be patient and really cautious with the words you choose and use.� Drive extra carefully. Take time to REview.� Think before you take action as your mind (Mercury) could be playing tricks on you!� Stay as focused as possible and don’t let it run your life.� Did Mercury retrograde bother you BEFORE you knew about it?� We must deal with the past before we head into the future!�� ���

SEPTEMBER ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS ~ Featuring Virgo 

By Kerry Fezza 2009

Some planetary notes this month:

Mercury goes Retrograde on the 6th but truthfully it’s already in effect until October 14th.  I will resurrect my old blog next week on MRx to help remind everyone of the positive uses of that energy too!
Pluto, the intense little planet ruling nuclear energy, goes direct on September 11th.  Another good reason to pay attention on that day!
Saturn and Uranus will face off again on the 15th.  Look for matters pertaining to old vs new, conservatism vs socialism, conventional vs unconventional etc.  This same opposition took place in the mid 1960’s in exactly the same signs (only the planets were reversed)!

The month of September should be interesting to say the least!!  And on a personal note….
If you know your Rising/Ascendant sign and/or your Moon sign, read those forecasts too. Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship issues.

Peace and Prosperity!

VIRGO

Happy New Year to the most meticulous, vital, and analytical sign of the Zodiac!  As hard working individuals you have really been through a lot these past several years. 
Last year’s focus was primarily on self improvement.  You should be feeling a strong sense of accomplishment as things finally start to manifest and your goals are achieved.  Patience and persistence pay off!

As you build your own self worth, it will reflect in the people and circumstances you attract to you.  This may explain why relationships, romantic and platonic, remain unpredictable and reminiscent of the past.  You will be forced to repeat the circumstance until you learn the lesson.  It’s time to break old habits and not feel guilty about it.  You have worked hard to better yourself but you can’t change others behavior ~ only set an example.
Romance is super passionate and fated.  Again, remember not to surrender your power.  Take control of how you want to be loved.

Because Mercury Retrogrades around your birthday, expect a lot of your past to crop up this year.  Not just old circumstances, but old friends, old lovers, old ideas etc.  It’s a great year to resurrect an old project left unfinished.  Perhaps your writers block will be lifted?  Sometimes we have to go back to the past in order to navigate the future.  Embrace the nostalgia but keep it in perspective!

Look for a breather and a big weight lifted off your shoulders as Saturn leaves your sign at the end of October.  It will dip back into Virgo in 2010 giving you an added opportunity to finish whatever was left undone.  It could also reinforce some cold, hard reality.  Rise to the challenge with your new found strength!
