Tonight is a New Moon in Virgo, 8:39 pm CST. This Moon is under Mercury’s domain, and Mercury is at a standstill in Virgo. You’re invited to STOP. Press pause on your normal Thursday night activities and take some time - even 5 minutes - to breathe and check in with yourself.
How are you?
What is on your mind?
Does it really matter? If it doesn’t, can you you let it go?
If it does matter, what do you want?
Close your eyes and imagine the best possible outcome(s).
Soak in the feelings.
New Moons are a time of endings and new beginnings. You know it’s the start of a new 28 day lunar cycle. There is also a 2 1/2 year lunar phase family. It is helpful to know if you’re starting something and want to work WITH planetary cycles.
- Symbolic beginnings now (Sept 14, 2023)
- Expect visible progress by the 1st quarter, June 14, 2024
- Fruit bears by the Full Moon on March 14, 2025
- Harvest and start bringing things to closure by the last quarter, Dec 11, 2025
And if this New Moon touches a planet in your birth chart, it starts a new 19-year cycle. (Check your chart, and note planets between 21 and 23 degrees of Virgo.)
Mercury returns to forward motion on Friday. Hurrah!
Write down those ideal outcomes. You don’t need a full plan yet, just the seed of a vision. You need more information, and it’s coming. You might change your mind, and that’s okay too. But do take a pause to reflect and to imagine.
Invitation
Join me in New Orleans on my birthday weekend! I’m hosting a MeetUp on Saturday, Sept 30, at 3 pm. I’ll be talking about the Lunar Nodes and October’s eclipses, and I’d love to see you there.
