Virgo New Moon

Chart calculated for 11.00 pm,
Thursday 17 September 2020

2020 is a year for Virgo to know yourself fully in the interest of giving genuine service to All

Complex aspects form in this New Moon chart, but the spread of planetary bodies is more open. We may be less inclined to take sides, more open to different perspectives. The daunting Aries and Capricorn squares are mellowed by trines from Leo and Virgo. The Moon's Nodes, on critical degrees, introduce karma and destiny into the challenge of personal, spiritual, and global alignment. We can't hope for world peace if we are at war with ourselves.

During her eleven-month stay in Libra, Juno emphasized relationship equality and balance. From September 20, Juno will be in Scorpio revitalizing our longing for intimate connections. On September 30, October 20 and November 27, Mercury meets Juno prompting meaningful conversations. Venus conjunct Vesta on September 22 offers a flow of playful sexual energy, or perhaps desire channelled into a heartfelt passion. Sun into Libra on the 23rd is the Southern Hemisphere Spring Equinox when nature wakes up again after the dormancy of Winter.

Ceres backs into Aquarius on the 27th, fostering independence for all. Mercury, mostly in Scorpio for the next three months, asks us to put effort into untangling truth from lies. Saturn Direct on the 29th releases the brake on something we want to accomplish. On October 3, Venus into Virgo in trine aspect with Black Moon Lilith suggests moderation, discretion, and a feeling of freedom. We may feel further refreshed when Pluto goes direct on the 5th. Black Moon Lilith conjuncts Uranus on the 8th and the 11th, time to be grounded as our sense of security could get a shake-up. Mercury retrogrades in Scorpio on the 14th. For the last 2 years, Mercury retrograde in Water signs signalled a time for releasing unresourceful emotional habits. In 2021 we shift to a new 2-year cycle of Mercury retrograde in Air signs.
