Virgo

August 23 - September 23

Virgo represents the energy of doing what needs to be done. While living on earth, we have to take care of our bodies, of our surrounding, help to set the stage for what we want, take care of the children, old and sick. All the mundane activities are under the rule of this sign. This energy is not sexy, it's not dramatic, but when it lacks in life, the impact is huge.

In esoteric Astrology, Virgo is the sign that nurture, safe and make the room for the Soul to be born. The purpose of a someone with Virgo is to discriminate the right methods and the right time and place for that birth. It is also responsible for supplying the literal, living conditions for a good growth.

Mercury is the ruler of Virgo representing the quality to deal with all the small details that together make up life. The quality to cut off dissimilar components, study them with care, and make improvements. It's not that Virgos want to be so critical; it is just so plain to their sight how things Can be better.

Virgo is a mutable sign, and therefore as stubborn as they seem, they genuinely do change according to the environment they are in. They will always effort to enhance it, to keep it in good working order, but changes are easier for them, than for many other signs.

The new moon takes place on August 29, 03:04 Gmt, 5th degree of Virgo.

The Horoscope of the New Moon in Virgo shows rivaling troops assessing each other. The Sun/Moon are in good aspects to Pluto in Capricorn, and Jupiter in Taurus, forming an earth signs triangle: the energies of hope (Jupiter), and Clearing (Pluto), can aid in doing the suitable thing, even if it means that humility is in order (Virgo).

At the same time, Mars in Cancer, squaring Saturn, which is Sesquiquadrate*to Neptune, make us all feel like we are not as strong as we thought we were, we will all feel vulnerable and unable to stand up for ourselves. The way to act is to negotiate, buy time, while each side is trying to figure out what they genuinely want.

The Yod configuration with mercury (ruler of Virgo) in Sesquiquadrate to both Pluto and Uranus in Aries keeps adding to the frustration. Again it is hard for anyone to understand what they want, we all feel that we want something new, some new speculation to come in and take us out of this mess, but we don't know what and why.

This time is right for doing all things that were put off: fixing the broken tools, furniture, cleaning a garage, going to the doctor, and putting the mind into the mundane details that make up life, getting some order into them. The sense of safety will come from there.

*Sesquiquadrate- a 135° angle, which basically tells us that these two planetary energies expect to get along well, but find out that they don't.
