September - New Moon of the Equinox

This will be the new moon on Sunday, September 25 at 2:54 pm PDT.

It will be in the constellation Virgo (sidereal astrology) with Mercury and Venus. The energy of Virgo is therefore in the spotlight: purification, idealism, order, healing, service to others. It is an earth sign that gives us the desire to be in the concrete and in the realization of our ideals and projects. This constellation is also related to healing and it is a good time to improve our health, break bad habits, do a cleansing...

Virgo honors the Sacred Feminine and it corresponds, in India, to the Navaratri, the 9 days of the Divine Mother, which will take place from September 26 to October 5. It is a time to celebrate the woman, outer and inner, regardless of our gender, because the woman in us corresponds to the right hemisphere of the brain: intuition, creativity, feeling, emotions, multidimensionality.

Mercury is in Virgo, in exaltation until October 26, and retrograde until October 2. This is the time to do some major house cleaning and get rid of unnecessary and cumbersome items. This will feel really good and you will feel a lightening and release from the past.

Venus joins Mercury on September 24 until October 18. Virgo is a very cerebral and detail-oriented sign. Venus, planet of love, is not very comfortable in this sign. Be careful of not being critical and not bringing "the heart into the head". 

Several planets are in retrograde motion now: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This is a time of introspection, a time to finish what is not finished, to close loops, to go back to the past to resolve it, but not to launch new projects. The energy will begin to quietly clear in October when the planets go direct again (Mercury on the 2nd, Pluto on the 8th and Saturn on the 23rd).

There are many rumors that something big will happen in the world around this New Moon. It could be a financial or stock market collapse because Venus, the planet that represents banks, will be very distressed in the coming months, especially around the solar eclipse on October 25. Let's prepare ourselves for any eventuality and seize this opportunity we have to live in these times of transition for the evolution and transformation of consciousness.
