The previous New Moon in Leo reminded us that we are stars, unique beings with a role to play on the stage of existence. Virgo involves practically implementing this, getting down to work.
The
New Moon in Virgo supports a new awareness and a shift of perspective,
which confronts us with the earthly implications of our goals.
With the Virgo New Moon the entire lunar cycle may be ideal for making an inventory of one's inner and outer resources, with practical assessment, organisation and discrimination regarding what to keep and what to let go of.
Virgo questions in this respect could be:
With the Virgo New Moon the entire lunar cycle may be ideal for making an inventory of one's inner and outer resources, with practical assessment, organisation and discrimination regarding what to keep and what to let go of.
Virgo questions in this respect could be:
What is truly essential in order to manifest what I have chosen to create?
What is unnecessary in this regard?
What needs to be amended and restructured?
What practical work is required to serve my intention?
Virgo deals with the stage of selection and assimilation. It is a phase that requires an attentive work of discrimination between what is useful and what needs to be released. Discipline, critical capacity, an eye for flaws and the capacity to take things apart and reorder them in better shape are called for. Everything is carefully analysed, classified and allocated to its specific and best usage. This involves filtering or storing the essence of every form and discarding the rest. Here it is essential to focus on the resources that are extracted rather than on the wastes that are expelled. Otherwise, waste material risks being held on to, blocking the process of assimilation and producing toxic effects. (Franco Santoro, Astroshamanism, Book Two)
A
major challenge in the Virgo process is to accept the limitations and
imperfections in oneself, as well as in the environment. When we give
ourself permission to go into areas of crisis and consciously stay in
the friction of that space, then the primary step of healing is set in
motion and transformation decisively begins. Another crucial point here
is pursuing one’s intention, getting down to work and completing the
desired tasks despite the limitations that we encounter. This is one of
the major lessons Virgo can teach.
The
degree of the New Moon, or Lunation point, indicates an area of life
that will operate as Intent and driving force during the next cycle. In
this New Moon it is 2 degrees 19 minutes Virgo. Astrologically this position is first
identified in the natal chart by noticing in which house of your chart
is located and if there are planets nearby. The next step involves
establishing a direct rapport with the Lunation Point by positioning in
the corresponding Sector, staying there for at least five minutes and
opening up to what comes to your mind, emotions and body, taking note of
whatever calls attention, no matter how trivial or distracting.
In
the subsequent days, as the Moon progresses in other signs, you can
follow its path and position yourself in other Sectors, opening up to
further insights and taking note of them. As you do all this, you can be
aware of the position of the Sun and of your experience on the binary
relation of both Sun and Moon.
At
New Moon a novel process is conceived. The seed is present at the
Lunation point, yet it exists merely as a potential without definite
shapes. The Moon is unseen, cloaked by the radiance of the Sun, and the
seed abides hidden in the obscurity of consciousness. At this stage
dreams or insights, and also prominent situations developing at a
physical, emotional or mental level may provide indications about the
upcoming process.
Here
please be aware of your intention, no matter whether it appears a
childish fantasy to your ordinary mind or the outer social environment.
This is not the time to be practical or concerned about how to achieve
things. It is the moment to open up to your uncontaminated and deepest
desires, as you fully envisage them without limits. Later, as the cycle
progresses, there will be chances to filter them, understanding their
practical implications and working towards manifestation.
