The Virgo New Moon is the ideal clean-up influence to follow the last two months. It puts detached observation, clear thinking, logical analysis and a bent for betterment and efficiency into an environment that is ripe for improvement and healing.
Sound like any situations in your life?
Yet this Moon’s potential is not necessarily cold or clinical. Its scrub-it-till-it-sparkles drive has access to tender loving care, a boundless supply of bandages and kisses for those booboos, and maybe some cream-filled doughnuts, too.
The primary characteristic, and the first we’ll feel, is the mental orientation. The Moon is near the middle of the sign, within reach of its ruler Mercury, the cosmic messenger and lord of gab, gadgets and getting around. Not only is he participating directly in the New Moon, but he is also chatting with the Moon on either side of the event. The Moon contacts Mercury on the way in and out of her meeting with the Sun (first by declination, then by zodiacal degree).
The upshot is an ability to take a more dispassionate view than the past few months have allowed. Think of it as a dose of Spock vision — the detached, quizzical and at times bemused attitude of Star Trek’s Mr. Spock. His stock response was “fascinating.” Adopt it for the next couple of weeks as you sort through recent developments and encounter new ones. Apply it and see if that doesn’t provide a distance that helps you see clearly, process the information and then strategize a response.
