Sun &Moon at 14°38′ Virgo
8:52 pm EST
Virgo season in our Northern Hemisphere means the last chance to turn into a lizard and absorb the precious sun rays, to swim, to surf, to dip our feet in the speeding and refreshing mountain streams. Virgo’s homeostasis is to be grounded with feet tickled by the moss, with still green tree leaves merging with her aura, cleansing, reinforcing and uplifting.

With the New Moon on September 6th at 14 degrees and 38 minutes of Virgo we are embracing the earthly realm through the lens of Uranus. Sun trine Uranus brings spiritual insights, creativity, and the ability to tap the Universal Mind, so this is certainly an opportunity to tune into the cosmic stream of consciousness as the circumstances may bring interesting people and opportunities into our lives. Moon trine Uranus often gives us electric appeal, and magnetism while dealing with others, it also presents original and innovative solutions to the problems we may have been stuck on for a while.
The mighty trine between the Moon, the Sun and Uranus at 14 degrees and 39 minutes (!) of Taurus prompts us to understand the world around us from a new perspective. The energies of the earthy signs: Taurus and Virgo represent the relationship to our body, and the environment. Taurus symbolically relates to Mother Earth, while Virgo as a sign of healing and service, shows us the practical ways of honoring and protecting the natural world.
Virgo in the ancient times was also the symbol of LOVE as life giving and sustaining forces.
The archetype of Virgo, brings us back to the origins of our civilization and the first accounts of astrology as the cosmic religion. In the ancient Sumer, when astrology followed the movement of celestial objects, like Joytish / Hindu astrology still does, the most important, live-giving deity was known as Inanna, with her symbolism as the Goddess of Love, the most powerful force in the Universe.
Greek mythology also explains the origins of the Virgo constellation, referring to the Golden Age of humanity after which all the Gods abandoned the Earth, with an exception of Astraea whose name translates as star-maiden. She was a daughter of Astraeus, the Titan-god of the dusk, and Eos, a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn. Astraea remained with humanity until the end of the Silver Age, then as the Bronze Age began she fled to the stars appalled by human rage and greed. She became the constellation Virgo, holding the scales of Justice, which represents the constellation of Libra. The legend says that Astraea will one day come back to Earth, bringing with her the return of the utopian Golden Age…
A new lunar cycle presents an opportunity to start new projects and to find new layers of energy within to inspire you towards becoming your authentic self. The energies of this New Moon are particularly beneficial and harmonious so make the most of these cosmic alignments, and focus on what you want to manifest!
Tuning into the Virgo energies of order and practicality ask yourself what are the daily routines that bring meaning to your life? This question easily relates to the daily routines that are part of your spiritual practice – this New Moon calls upon finding material forms for our spiritual, intuitive, and mystical experiences. With the Sun and the Moon in practical, grounded, and deliberate Virgo, we have an opportunity to balance these energies, and encounter resolutions that will help us integrate Spirit with Matter.
