Well, I’m happy to report that I not only survived that Virgo New Moon, but it turned out to be one of my favorites so far this year. My New Moon ritual felt so energized and attuned! There was a lot of chatter on the internet and podcast world about the energy of new beginnings, but not just a normal New Moon new beginning…a sense that a significant shift is underway for all of us. A good one I hope...for fuck's sake!
This week’s astrology is delightfully straightforward (even though we still have 5 major and 2 minor planets retrograde). The majority of the aspects are trines, which indicate easy flow. But close on their heels are a bunch of quincunxes, which indicate adjustment needed. So let’s go through them.
First of all, Mercury is now direct, huzzah! That was a rough retrograde. If one more app on my phone gave me the spinning circle of death I was going to lose my shit!
But moving on…
All of the major planets are represented this week except for, mercifully, Uranus. I think we’ve had enough surprises for a bit! The Sun is the star of this week’s show, making some rare aspects and changing signs. Saturn aspects 3 of the goddess asteroids, providing structure to the Divine feminine.
Tuesday this week is significant. The Sun is opposite Neptune, an aspect that only happens once a year. This can make us feel a little “off” or like we’ve lost our sense of direction for a few days. You might get a zing of inspiration, spiritual awareness, or creativity, but be careful not to get lost in illusion. Also on Tuesday, Mars is quincunx Jupiter, which can be an overabundance of drive or energy with a lack of outlet or direction. There’s definitely a “lack of direction” vibe here. Then we have the Sun quincunx the North Node, which can make us feel like the reluctant hero in a situation or event. And still on Tuesday… Mercury is quincunx Chariklo, indicating a need to adjust our boundaries, especially as it relates to compassion. We might question someone’s intent in this energy.
Wednesday, the Sun forms a trine with Pluto and this only happens twice a year. This can create an energy of fixation, an obsession with whatever we are focused on at that time. This can become fanaticism. Then Saturn trines Ceres, which is a grounding influence in all of this. Saturn is practical AF, and Ceres wants to take care of people. Saturn gives Ceres an outline to follow and this might offset that Plutonian obsession a bit.
Friday the Sun enters lovely and fair-minded Libra, giving us a break from all of this Plutonian and Virgoan fixation.
Sunday we have the Libra Sun quincunx Pisces Saturn, so our sense of duty bumps up against our desires and something has to give.
Chiron, Chariklo, Vesta and Ceres all make significant aspects to the planets Mars, Venus and Saturn, so the energy of healing and nurturing are definitely present in all of this other weird energy. So if you feel lost in the fog this week, have faith and lean into any opportunities for healing, whether you are giving or receiving.
