NEW MOON IN VIRGO
25 AUGUST 2014
It’s that time of the month again; time for a new cycle and a new phase. Since the last New Moon which was in Leo, I am very sure that you have enjoyed this period, with lots of fun and playful activities, which also coincides with the beautiful weather of the summer season. It is also a time when the children are off school, making it great for holiday periods. With all this excitement, we must be conscious that all things come to an end, and with this New Moon in Virgo taking place on 25 August, it will mark a new beginning, and as you know with every beginning, there must be an end.
So how can you look forward to this New Moon in Virgo and utilise it for your own benefit? This New Moon is continuing from the last New Moon in Leo, which was about fun, creativity and self-expression. With Leo being the Zodiac sign of the inner child, the New Moon in Virgo is where all of this creative energy is tidied up neatly so it can be of service to you. In order to get an idea of how this New Moon is going to manifest, let’s take a look at what Virgo is about. Virgo is the sign of integration. If we look at the symbol for Virgo, it is an image of a young maiden holding a chaff of wheat. Firstly, this symbol is showing us a connection and preparation to the harvest period. During harvest periods when farmers are gathering their crops, it is essential for them to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff in order to distinguish which crops are of good quality and of great use, and which crops are not up to standard or of any benefit. This also applies to separating what is useful and valuable from what is worthless in your life.
Virgo is the sign that is tidying up after the mess of Leo. It’s a bit like when children play and leave all their toys scattered around and then somebody has to come and tidy up the mess. Virgo is that sign where you are tidying up and integrating what is necessary into your life, by using precise critical judgement. This is one of the many reasons why Virgos have great attention to detail and are very often labelled perfectionists. It is not that Virgo is a perfectionist, but it is very directed towards ordering the world and utilising time and things in the most efficient way possible. A week or two away from the date of the New Moon in Virgo all students will be returning back to school, college and university. People returning back from their holidays will be returning back to work, so this is a time when you will find yourself in the realms of everyday routines and applying some form of order into your life.
This New Moon in Virgo is about integrating something new into your life that is of great service to you and others. Health, diet, nutrition, work and any other daily routines and rituals that are a part of your life are sure to be stimulated and magnified. You will find this time of the year much easier to discipline yourself as far as diet, losing weight and starting an exercise regime is concerned. Very often, people try to kick the habit of smoking or try a new diet plan at the beginning of the year, but most people end up failing to keep it up because it is not the appropriate season for it. The New Moon in Virgo is the perfect time of year to incorporate and integrate these disciplines in your life. You will find yourself paying greater attention to hygiene, health and diet. Now is a good time to start a new diet or change your eating habits. Maybe cutting out too much salt or sugar in your food and eating less processed foods. Perhaps even giving up smoking or eating foods that are more nutritious for your body and starting a daily exercise program.
What is also very interesting within the symbol of Virgo is that the young maiden is holding a chaff of wheat. Wheat is what is mainly used to make our bread and cereals which we tend to eat for breakfast. This is essentially a part of our nutritious diet and even the word cereal originates from the Latin word Ceres, who happened to be the mother Earth goddess of grains, crops and agriculture in ancient Rome. This is also a good time to go and see your doctor for a health check-up and ensure your body is functioning well. Areas of work are definitely magnified during this period, as work becomes very important. You may overwork and in fact, you may be working for or on behalf of others. You may find that the area of your work has increased but yet the salary and recognition stays the same. This is a time, depending on the nature of your business, where you may hire a new employee, or establish a set of new priorities for employees or yourself in a productive work situation. You will find yourself more focused on organising your workplace and setting new goals for yourself and employees, if you have any.
This is a wonderful time to do major housecleaning. There will be a feel and need to get your house in order and get organised, especially after the children go back to school, if there are any children in your home. You can find yourself being very critical, picky, and concerned with order within your surroundings and you may also be critical of others. Virgo is the sign that also presides over pets, so you may find yourself being drawn to wanting to get a pet, or if you already have a pet, that your pet becomes more of a focus in your life during this period.
So with this New Moon in Virgo taking place, be mindful and aware of your daily routines, work and health matters, as these areas are very crucial and will help you live a more fulfilling and balanced lifestyle. Make sure you are mindful of what you are integrating into your life, and being that it is a New Moon in Virgo which represents a new cycle and new beginning, be sure to integrate something new which is orderly and healthy into your life and daily routine. Make sure to separate the wheat from the chaff, just as the Virgo archetype needs to do.
Happy New Moon in Virgo
