SEPTEMBER 19

The Moon spends the day in Virgo, but as fact-focused and organized Virgo aims to be, there can be difficulties on these fronts today. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune can blur our perceptions. We may be seeing others in an unrealistic light and discrepancies can emerge today to challenge our thinking. Concentrating on technical facts can be difficult. If our minds are wandering, it may be that we have neglected to “feed” our imaginations recently. We should watch for misrepresenting ourselves, overlooking important practical details, and thinking that’s self-defeating. There can be misunderstandings, misinformation, confusion, carelessness, and deception. We may be feeling temporarily demotivated. However, this can be a good time for stretching our thinking so that we can dream up possibilities we might miss on a regular day. As well, the Moon is Balsamic, and it’s better to wind down than wind up.

Also today, Venus enters Virgo, where it will transit until October 14th. With this move, we now have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in the sign! Today, the Moon is in Virgo as well, and early tomorrow, the New Moon occurs.

Love needs to make sense and have a purpose with Venus in Virgo. Virgo is an Earth sign, which is sensual but also quite practical. Rendering services to others can fill a need and can be an expression of love during this cycle. We might enjoy our work or routines more than usual now.

Mercury leaves its post-retrograde shadow today.

SEPTEMBER 20

At 1:30 AM EDT today, the New Moon occurs as the Moon aligns with the Sun in the sign of Virgo. A time of new beginnings, this New Moon presents an excellent opportunity for us to formulate some goals regarding “all things Virgo.” We’d do well to concentrate on new ways to get our day-to-day life organized. We might think about the keywords for this particular and earthy sign — such things as analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious — and consider ways to incorporate these traits into our personalities.

The New Moon in Virgo is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Virgin, such as building our powers of healthy, constructive discrimination, beginning a new project that requires attention to details, starting a health regime, setting up specific routines that will help us manage our lives in constructive and mindful ways, and handling the finer details of our day-to-day life in an organized, step-by-step fashion so that we can free our minds of clutter.

This New Moon occurs as Jupiter and Uranus move towards an opposition — an atmosphere that is a little too risky, disorganized, or chaotic for Virgo’s tastes — and the quincunx from Uranus to the New Moon emphasizes this awkward relationship. However, we’ll do best if we allow for some surprise elements now. Fortunately, Virgo is an adaptable sign. Striving for perfection can be a wonderful challenge, as long as we don’t allow ourselves to become overly focused on flaws and feel guilty or stressed about them.

The Moon continues its transit of Virgo only until 6:06 AM EDT when it enters relationship-focused, gracious Libra.

A void of course Moon occurs from 1:30 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to the Sun), until the Moon enters Libra at 6:06 AM EDT.

Jupiter forms an opposition to Uranus

This aspect first formed in December 2016, was exact again in March, and forms for the final time in this set today.

Under this influence, we need to be willing to make changes in our lives or change will be forced upon us. This is a transit that cries out for freedom, particularly regarding our close relationships. We seek out partnership but we are also holding on tightly to our individuality. We are looking for release or freedom from pressures, strains, and areas of life where we feel limited, restricted, and constrained. Events occurring now can bring surprises and sudden changes of hearts or paths. The desire to grow and progress is very strong now, and we can entertain new possibilities and find inspiration from unusual sources, but we can also be rebellious and impulsive under this influence.

While this aspect can give us just the right motivation to try something new or break free from a limiting situation, we should watch for glorifying all that is new and fresh to the point that we forget what’s truly important to us. This is a rebellious, restless influence–one in which we should avoid making changes just for the sake of making changes. We might take risks (perhaps foolish ones) for the sake of freedom. This is not a good time for financial speculation or travel. There can be fights for independence in our relationships, but it’s also a time for opening ourselves up to new ways of thinking, particularly through our relationships and interactions with others.

Jupiter opposition Uranus dates:

1st: December 26th, 2016, when Jupiter was at 20° Libra 34′ and Uranus was at 21° Aries 34′

2nd: March 2, 2017, when Jupiter is at 22° Libra 11′ and Uranus is at 22° Aries 11′

3rd: September 28, 2017, when Jupiter is at 27° Libra 15′ and Uranus is at 27° Aries 15′
