Thursday 9/14/23--Virgo new moon

Last new moon of summer (6:39pm PDT). Sun and Moon meet in practical Virgo, completing the harvest, getting things in order, ready for a new year in flowering fertility.

Planets in all three earth signs ground us in physical nature (Virgo new moon, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn), mind backing to a stop amidst it (Mercury ends retrograde 9/15), moving forward from here. Peak passion supports us (Venus in Leo), harmony-seeking leads the way (Mars in Libra). Deep feeling anchors as in tender sensitivity (Saturn and Neptune in Pisces). Healing self is emerging (Chiron in Aries).

Soon we move into autumn renewal (Sun into Libra 9/23), a fresh start in the land of love.
