Every couple of years, we get a Black Moon somewhere; this time, it appears at the tail end of Virgo season with the added bonus of an eclipse. While this harvest season may or may not be richer than usual, it definitely will be more intense. Here we go.
Welcome to Virgo season. The Virgo New Moon is here, ready or not, bringing epic clarity. Part of it is about the inherent spiritual nature of the sign. Part of it is the waning influence of this summer’s Mercury Retrograde. And part of it is an elusive quincunx from both Saturn and Neptune in Aries. While there are a lot of impactful transits currently happening, the primary questions I’m hearing from community right now are around the sign of Virgo and its place in the harvest season. So, I will be focusing on that here.

At this Leo New Moon, an opposition from Pluto and the influence of four retrograde planets demands that we slow down and be present with and for this phase of our transformational process. So, let’s look at how to maximize the opportunities of this magical moment.
