The New Moon in Virgo of September 15, 2023
The New Moon is a magical moment when the Sun and Moon merge and the Light of Mother Moon is temporarily invisible in the sky.
It is the spiritual ground for the next cycle, the growth phase to the Full Moon.
On September 15, 2023, the Sun and Moon will merge at 21o59 in earthly Virgo.
The sign of Virgo symbolizes purity, organization, productivity, health, details, discernment, ordering, sorting, purifying and tidying up.
On that same day, Mercury, the Ruler of Virgo and this New Moon, goes direct again. Everything that was unclear during the last retrograde Mercury is clarified and put into words. Time to make progress.
It feels like we are being offered a second chance…
The New Moon in Virgo is exactly opposite retrograde Neptune in Pisces and forms an instructive trine with retrograde Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn.
This flowing earthly cooperation is the path to self-acceptance and self-respect.
The first step to accepting and loving yourself is letting go of the expectations of others.
It is often thought that you have to meet certain criteria to be accepted and appreciated by
others, based on what you do, not on who you are.
Because this New Moon falls in the last decanate of Virgo (last 10 degrees), it is all about vulnerability, self-doubt, victim behavior and perfectionism.
But there can also be indifference or coercion to save people in need.
Frustration, depression or burnout can occur when clear boundaries are not set when caring for someone or when offered help or well-intentioned gestures are not appreciated or refused.
Caring for others is good. Caring for others is only possible when you first take care of yourself!
Let this New Moon in Virgo be the path to self-acceptance and self-care.
Step into your power and let go of self-doubt, perfectionism and self-criticism.
Perfection is an illusion. No one is perfect or will ever be.
Listen to your soul and hear what your truth is. Keep what is valuable to you.
Clean up all that is unnecessary.
The effect of the New Moon of September 15, 2023 lasts four weeks until the New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in Libra of October 14, 2023.
The best time for new beginnings and setting intentions is during the Waxing phase of the Moon from September 16, 2023 to the Full Moon in Aries from September 29, 2023.
With the Full Moon in Virgo on February 24, 2024 we see the manifestation of all stated constructive intentions!
