With the new moon sitting at the north bending of its nodes, the astrology of this new moon is about outward manifestation and achieving goals. We are looking and concentrating on what will bring our own definition of worldly success. Perhaps that is a new habit, a shedding off what is no longer serving you. Mars stationed retrograde last Tuesday, September 9, which is a time of review of what actions we have taken that have worked and which have not garnered the results we had hoped for. It’s a period of adjustment. Think what has come up about your routines and normal methods of operation over the last week and consider what changes would be important to make to manifest what you would like to see within your world. This should be your focus for this new moon.
The new moon emphasis on worldly physical manifestation is further influenced by the favorable 120-degree trine it makes to retrograde Saturn, in its home sign of Capricorn. Saturn is the ground rules of what can and cannot be manifested on the earthly plane. It is boundaries and limitations but also the structures and physical box that we manifest into. Saturn is also retrograde, so it is again a time of review. What goals for your physical world and personal status quo have you not yet realized? Here is your focus. With the new moon being in Virgo, we are looking at practical routines we can take up to lead us towards our goals. This is a time for calculated, planned action not impulsive action. Really take time to meditate and think intellectually about the results you want to manifest and the most practical way to go about pursuing those goals.
