New Moon in Virgo

In the past two weeks haven’t you been feeling like enough is enough already? The Sun and Moon together in perfectly poised Virgo is amplified by excessive Jupiter. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so many things feel magnified and intense this month.

Virgo is the pattern keeper and if we let her, she will show us the energetic patterns in our life. There is a  place for everything and everything has its place. So let go and trust the Virgo energy to take care of life’s little details – she knows how all the puzzle pieces fit together even when it’s not clear to us.

Virgo’s gift is the quality of discernment. Use that Virgoan discernment constructively by identifying, letting go and releasing any thought patterns, possessions or people in your life who are holding you back from your deepest desires. Only the best will do for you now.

Open your closets and cabinets. It’s time to clean house, out with the old!

September Solar Eclipse

This new moon in Virgo is accompanied by a solar eclipse. Eclipse energy provides us an opportunity to look at the shadow, or integrate aspects of our personality that are often overlooked.

Although we all have an opportunity to unearth and integrate the more hidden aspects of ourselves with this eclipse, people born 1966 – 1969 and those with birthdays between the 2nd and 22nd in the months of September, December, March or June are especially touched by this partial solar eclipse.

For these individuals, this eclipse is heralding a time of radical transformation and activation. It is almost inevitable that within the 6 months following this eclipse, something radically different will change in the way you shine, radiate, and where you put your life force energy. You will be re-evaluating where you put your attention.

These individuals will feel the energy more powerfully than others and will definitely want to take note of our supportive suggestions below.
