The Virgo New Moon of August 28th moves in with subtle grace. Just as her namesake, the virgin, this lunation comes with promises of fertility and flow. The earth signs have ‘it’ now. With Jupiter luxuriating in the folds of calm Taurus, and Pluto in dynamic Capricorn, this New Moon initiates the flow of a grand earth trine which can calm even the most edgy soul. The secret is – just let it be.
Anyone who really knows a Virgo is acquainted with their unique nature. Virgo’s are known for their discernment; this manifests in eating habits, the way they dress, and even their thoughts. Virgo’s are often a bit nervous, and suffer sensitive digestion. Remember, Virgo is ruled by the planet of constant motion, Mercury.
The Virgo lunation is our time to use the gifts of Mercury and analyze where you stand, and lay a claim to where you
want to go. Virgo’s constant analysis can de-evolve into paralyzing perfectionism if you let it. The secret here is to claim the support of Jupiter and the unerring instincts of Pluto. Transform tension into determination. Even Venus is in Virgo now.
Virgo the virgin is not chaste; rather she is beholden to only her own dreams. Huna, the teaching of the Hawaiian shamanic tradition teaches that a human is a complex arrangement of 3 core parts; the High Self, the Middle Self, and the Lower, or Child Self. When the 3 core Selves are in peaceful communication and agreement, the human lives in a state of empowerment and peace.
This season of Virgo is a time for us all to communicate with all of our core Selves, and manifest heaven on earth. You must be willing to speak your truth. And most importantly, you must also be able to listen.
