From the Globe and Compass of Urania

Virgo New Moon

This Virgo New Moon cycle is a time to get grounded, sort things out, do your work at hand, get efficient and pay attention to inner refinements. Ask yourself, how you can serve better? Fault finding or correcting others is probably not listed in your dharma job description. Use this cycle to become whole, unto your ‘Self’. Keep a heartfelt simplicity and don’t get caught up in the glamor of crisis.

Energy shifts will be felt in this period. Jupiter in Gemini will station retrograde 10/4/12. The outer growth in your network connections will recede to inner growth until January when Jupiter stations direct. Hone the skill of mindfulness by responding to things as they are and not what you believe or believed. Nurture the mind by removing mental chaos and focus on the realizations you have made thus far. Further opportunities in contacts, thoughts, travels or education will come later in January. Use Virgo energy to sort and streamline errands, communications and written documents for now. 

Saturn enters the water sign of Scorpio on 10/5/12. This begins an approximate two year period of testing and restructuring your debt ratio, karmic and material. Saturn in Scorpio will begin the long slow process of creating circumstances that will force psychological and emotional growth and slow but persistent renewal. Reality check tests from Saturn include asking what you are willing to do for comfort, sex or money. Issues will be black or white with no shades of grey. Look for new frameworks, private and societal, concerning shared resources, loans, taxes and insurances during the many months ahead no matter who is elected president. Saturn corresponds to recognition, reputation, commitments, pruning and cut backs in order to strengthen. cus your efforts in the transformational processes of change toward rebirth.    

Uranus retrograde in Aries is square Pluto in Capricorn on 9/18/12, for another potent push. This coupled with the Full Moon on 9/29/12 will correspond to break downs and break throughs in life. The Virgo energy implies there is much to be done in either case. Take it one day at a time and be gentle with your journey.
