Virgo September 17 New Moon Forecast

Each year, you get one new Moon in your very important first house of self! The first house is your physical body, your personality and personal style, and perspective on life.

​

And this new Moon is a fabulously supportive new Moon to set your intentions for something very personal. Maybe you would like to change your style or begin a new meditation program. Whichever the case this is a great time to set your intentions and begin anew!

​

Disciplinarian Saturn is in a very harmonious position relative to the Sun and new Moon, which will lend the support to your cause! Saturn will be sure that if you are disciplined you will reach your goal, although plan for a slow and steady progress, which is very comfortable for Saturn!

​

Since the new Moon occurs in a lunar mansion that is super supportive for new beginnings, it is a great time to set your intentions and then do whatever ritual (candle lighting, crystals, tarot card pull) you like to support these intentions once the Moon has shifted to waxing.

​

I would recommend working with  tourmalated quartz and/or black Moonstone for this new Moon energy. The black tourmaline and black Moonstone brings in the energy of Saturn in harmony with the Moon.

The times best for rituals are listed on part one of this forecast here.

​

One other important note - Rahu and Ketu (north and south nodes of the Moon) change signs on September 20. Rahu moves into Taurus and Ketu into Scorpio.  This will bring the eclipses to these two signs for the next 18 months. More on this before the eclipses in November and December.

Mars Retrograde 2020 and Key Fall Transits

Mars retrograde 9/9 - 11/13

Mars square Saturn 9/15-30

Mars square Pluto 10/1-15 and 12/15-23

​

The Mars retrograde phase is taking place in the transformation zone of your chart, Virgo! This two month period could bring up some review around your personal transformation. Aries, where fiery Mars is ruler and your eighth house is also associated with your partners assets. There may be some reassessments to savings or investment plans at this time.

​

The influence of slow Saturn during the last two weeks of September and transformative Pluto the first two weeks of October will also add some potential frustration to eighth house matters I described earlier in this forecast. There could also be some delays to an inheritance or insurance settlement at this time. Patience will be required!

​

Additionally, make note of September 22-24 on your calendar. Mercury will be exactly opposite fiery and impatient Mars while at the same time getting a tense aspect from serious Saturn and potent Pluto!

Mercury is the most easily influenced planet of all and this will be an incredibly intense time for all Mercury ruled folks. This is not the time to take any risks with your physical body - no base jumping or zip lining, etc.!  Also not the time for important negotiations or meetings, if you can reasonably avoid them. The good news is that Mercury will move out of range of these difficult energies by the end of September.

​

KEY INDICATIONS OF THESE TRANSITS:

• Mars Retrograde Negative: Revisiting situations or experiences that can re-surface anger, aggression or impulsiveness.

• Mars retrograde Positive: Revising reactivity to situations that would normally cause frustration, impulsiveness or anger.

​

• Mars Square Saturn Positive : Problem solving, tenacity, courage and methodical process combined.

• Mars Square Saturn Negative: Frustration and anger, feeling blocked.

​

• Mars Square Pluto Positive : Unearthing subconscious patterns that no longer serve your highest good, harness energy of these two to create positive physical and emotional changes.

• Mars Square Pluto Negative: Subconscious rage, hidden aggression, manipulative behaviors
