Moon, full and new.
New moons are times to initiate changes, seed projects, direct energies toward births and beginnings. Today’s moon is in Virgo (7 degrees). And, for me, is resonating strongly perhaps because of my own Virgo moon.
Virgo themes are enhanced by this new moon. Themes of orderliness. Streamlining. Separating the wheat from the chaff. Getting down to basics. Allowing nonessentials to sit on the back burner. Or tossing them out altogether.
Decluttering. Organizing. Creating systems. Purification. Cleansings. Health. Eliminating toxins -- which need not be only on the physical level but emotional, mental and spiritual.
Focus. Attention to detail; indeed, love of detail. Efficiency. Practicality. Logic. Taking care of business. Devising plans that get you from point A to B. Also Virgo qualities.
BTW, stumbling across this online, I couldn’t but chuckle:
Everyone knows the stereotype of Virgos as neat freaks but they can also be total slobs. Why? They just give up and surrender to chaos if they can’t achieve perfection.
Wow, can I relate! And never have I seen truer evidence than this past week of computer breakdown and disorganization of the home that’s included beaucoup furniture rearranging because evidently no matter where I set something, it still isn't feeling harmonious/in the flow.
Anyhow, enough ’bout me. I found this ditty by renowned astrologer Jeff Jawer that captures this new moon in a nutshell. Yet another Virgo talent.
The new moon in practical and detail-oriented Virgo is a great time to start healthy new habits. The focus and dedication of this sign are underscored by the new moon's conjunction with disciplined Saturn. Patterns established now can endure for a long time, so it's vital to turn negative thinking into positive action.
Don't let the size of obstacles deter you from advancing your interests as patient Saturn and pragmatic Virgo are an excellent combination for producing slow and steady progress that can reshape your life one small step at a time.
Also this new-moon abundance ritual from an excellent, excellent psychic that I’ve hung onto for weeks for presentation on this occasion:
- Take a blank check
- Leave the date open
- Leave the amount open
- Make it out to yourself
- Write: Paid in Full
- In the memo write: LVX -- which is love metaphysically
- Sign it Law of Abundance
Place it on a fridge or somewheres you see it.
Don’t doubt yourself. If you doubt yourself, you stop it from working.
Happy new mooning, one ‘n’ all!
Today brings a new moon, in Gemini, at 13 degrees.
New moons are times to initiate cycles and plant seeds.
In Gemini, the sign of the Twins, of communication, gathering and disseminating information, thoughts, ideas and learning, now is the time to consider how we think and what we think. To challenge our perceptions and assumptions ... open the windows of our minds and allow the fresh breezes of change to enter.
That Mercury is still retrograding imbues this new moon with a certain zip. Or is that zippity-do-dah? Mercury rules Gemini, heightening energies around thought patterns that may need to be laundered and hung our to dry for revitalizing by sunshine and fresh air.
Gemini also rules knowledge and change. Tonight and tomorrow provide opportunities to open our minds. expand and reinvent some area of our thinking or lives that need that sunshine and breezes. Here's to that!
On a parallel note, over at realastrologers I came upon this ritual, courtesy of Meta Arts magazine, for writing New Moon Abundance Checks.
This being a new moon in communicative, chatty Gemini, anyone partipating will be required to report on the fruits of the exercise; Gemini would virtually insist. ;) So get a pen ready.
Abundance checks are a tool we can use to create more abundance in our lives. They are written within 24 hours after a new moon.
Surprisingly, you really don’t even need to believe that the check will work when you write it. You will however be amazed at the results, as you will see increased abundance in your life, in some life area. It is not always financial, but certainly in an area that you need.
There is a traditional manner, which has been handed down, that must be followed. If you do not have a checking account you can draw a check on a piece of paper and fill it out the same way- the results will be the same, more abundance for you.
Here’s how to do them:
1) Within 24 hours after a new moon, take a check from your checkbook and where it says “Pay to,” write your name.
2) In the box on the same line where you would fill in a dollar amount, write “Paid in full.”
3.) On the line under your name, where you would write out a dollar amount, write “Paid in full.”
4.) Sign the check: “The Law of Abundance.”
Do not put a date on the check. Do not write a specific dollar amount. Put the check in a safe place and forget about it. The universe will take it from there.
