The New Moon in Virgo, Friday September 18th

The disruptive energy of our retrograde Mercury has been disturbing us since September 8th and we will continue to feel the effects until the first week in October, although he goes direct September 29th. During this time we can expect miscommunication, missed communication, travel delays, misunderstandings, technical breakdowns, car accidents and computer glitches.

Saturn, the planet of structure, karma and life lessons has been in a difficult opposition to Uranus, which is chaos, revolt, independence, and surprise which should make us all feel, in one way or another, as if the sky is indeed falling.

These are very conflicting energies, and each of us has experienced it on some level, whether it’s through friends going through chaotic challenges, or disruption in our own lives. This will pass after the 21st of this month, but it’s going to augment the effects of Mercury in Retrograde, so beware…but this too shall pass, just not soon enough.

There is a new moon in Virgo on Friday, at 2:44 pm EDT. Virgo rules health ,routine, work, and service, so this is a time to manifest new beginnings in those areas. It’s a great time to start a health or detox routine, whether it’s on a personal level for emotional growth, or literally a new health routine.
