New Moon Awakens in Virgo
Friday was a busy day (Saturday tops Friday) for us with Venus (Romance) squaring
off with Pluto (Transformation), and the Moon (Emotion) being tugged by
a number of planets including Neptune (Spirituality), Mars
(Initiative), and Mercury (Communication). Now that’s a bundle
of feelings to deal with. You may have seen some resistance to the new
ideas you have for your romantic life. At work you can proceed on that
new project you know (in your gut) will fly — but you have to
communicate well and early to develop the right team spirit with your
coworkers.
“Birth, renewal, sowing and awakening, all play their role now.”
Saturday brings the free spirited New Moon in Virgo — a captivating time it is for lovers.
This comes from the “awakening” energy of new moons — where you can
awaken, once again, to the allure and attraction in your romance.
Saturday also finds the Moon in conjunction with Saturn, which like
Virgo has fine tunings for practicality. This theme continues into
Sunday as the Moon (Emotions) shows tension with Uranus (New Ideas).
So, there’s no need to be extravagant, just focus on your mate. No
matter how long you’re been together, you can always discover each
other anew.
This tension between new and creative ideas versus practicality is
particularly strong now since the first quarter Moon energy brings a
feeling of beginnings.
Birth, renewal, sowing and awakening, all play their role now. But
there are many good things that begin in a practical mode. Attention to
detail is always a good way to kick off a new project.

And the New Moon is associated with spring, the east and the element
wood. People born in this phase tend to be lively and innovative — free
spirits with a love of new ideas and adventures. They are generally
impressionable, inventive and outgoing, but also impulsive and
restless. This lunar phase governs the signs of Tiger, Rabbit and
Dragon in Chinese Astrology. So enjoy this time of renewal as one
season ends and another begins.
