NEW
MOON IN VIRGO (01 degree) 12:10 pm PDT, Wednesday August 23, 2006
The last Full
Moon illuminated our ideals; this New Moon focuses
our attention on the details and practicalities. What's not working?
How did we get so far off track? Where do we need to begin? Virgo's
primary functions are analysis (distinguishing the essential from
the superfluous), integration (understanding the relationship
between matter and spirit), and service (applying the tools that
lead to improvement and healing). Virgo has been depicted as a
nitpicker, a worrywart, the "Lint Patrol." That unfortunate
caricature reflects the absence rather than the presence of Virgo.
As the sixth stage in an archetypal cycle of development, Virgo's
primary task is not criticism or judgment but discernment - determining
what is important and letting the rest go. As the second earth
sign, Virgo deals with the application of knowledge, not just
the theory. "Talk is cheap" is an old adage that fits
the sign focused on competency and results.
New Moons are optimal times to set new intentions; this one calls
us to review every area of our life. On a personal level, this
includes how well we take care of our health, how we manage our
time, how we maintain our living and work spaces, and how we get
things done in general. What is your body telling you? What needs
fixing? Where is clutter slowing you down? How could you work
smarter rather than harder? GIGO ("Garbage In, Garbage Out")
applies to your body and your environment as well as your computer.
Make a list of the improvements you wish to make, and create a
realistic schedule.
On a more subtle level, this is a time of inner purification,
of closely examining our motivations and our self-defeating beliefs,
attitudes and actions. Are we acting from essence or ego? This
New Moon also asks us to reflect on our connection to the Earth
itself, how we wish to serve in these challenging times on planet
Earth. Mercury,
the ruling planet of Virgo, is in Leo,
along with Saturn
and Venus,
reminding us that everyone has something special to offer. What
do you love more than anything? If you ruled the world, what would
you do? The position of Mercury in Leo at this New Moon suggests
that, to be of service, we must live what is in our heart, for
true service comes from love, not obligation. Service is not a
compulsion or a penance. Service is not servitude. There is a
Sufi saying: "Work is Love made visible"; the same could
be said of service. Mercury's trine
to Pluto
helps us to see what's really true; Venus's approaching conjunction
to Saturn (exact on August 26) and Saturn's first exact opposition
to Neptune
on August 31 provide new clues about what forms our service can
take at this time.
Mars,
the planet of passion and action, is in Virgo until September
7, urging us to tackle the issues and problems before us and pushing
us to let go of our judgments and preconceptions.
The shadow side of Virgo is narrow-mindedness and false humility
- inferiority is actually superiority in disguise. We must transcend
cynicism (and self-disparagement, in particular) in order to move
forward. It is time to release the assumptions and fears that
have held us back.
Take time around this New Moon to clarify your next step. What
you choose matters more than ever. "Humankind
was put on earth to keep the heavens aloft. When we fail, creation
remains unfinished." (Rabbi Menachem Mendel)
Opportunity
Periods are a wonderful tool to maximize our efforts. Opportunity
Periods reflect favorable
aspects of the Moon. The energies of the Moon impact us in a very
direct way. Using the positive energies that the Moon showers
upon the Earth, to our benefit, makes good sense. Opportunity
Periods have proven to provide helpful energy to non
routine tasks. If you feel like you are always going against
the grain and things are stressful, try using these time periods
for more easily accomplishing important tasks: purchases, repairs,
client appointments, sales calls, important phone calls, finishing
goals, starting new projects, tying up loose ends, starting new
relationships ( except when Venus is Retrograde), job hunting,
doctor visits, family meetings, etc. The list of OP's
for the next two weeks are listed under the calendar
section of this update.

PLAN YOUR OWN NEW MOON CEREMONY.
Give yourself some quiet time in meditation to see where you need
to seed new ways of becoming. List these areas within your life
you want to change. What areas do you want to break free from
the norm and become more productive and discerning? The NEW
MOON is the time to manifest the personal attributes you
want to cultivate as well as the tangible things you want to bring
to you. Possible phrasing: I now manifest ____ into my life. I
am now _______ . Remember, think,
envision and feel with as much emotion as possible, as though
you already have what you want. Thoughts are things and the brain
manifests exactly what you show it in the form of thoughts, visuals
and emotions. The Buddha said, and I am paraphrasing, "We
are the sum total of our thoughts up to today. " If we want
to be different than we must change our thoughts. "If
you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what
you've always got." CONSCIOUS CHANGE is the key.
OUR BOOK,
Words of Love for Men, Secret Formulas for
Mastering Intimate Relationships, is available for $12.95
plus shipping. This book outlines, in simple form, the ways to
nurture relationships. These proven formulas can be applied to
all relationships. It can empower you to achieve the loving and
lasting relationship you desire with your partner and all family
members. The principles can also be applied to work related relationships
as well. Contact: Books@CelestialDesignInc.com
