New Moon in Virgo: Processes & Procrastination?

If you are curious to see what your birth chart looks like and have it interpreted by Laurie Rae Rezanoff, 17+-year Astrologer, email her: myhouseofastrololgy 'at' shaw.ca (you know what to do with the 'at'!) or call: 587-437-3520 in Okotoks, AB Canada to book your appointment.

The next New Moon phase, beginning a new Moon cycle, begins Tuesday, September 19th at 11:30 p.m. MDT at the celestial coordinates of 27 degrees of Virgo 27'. Here we begin to process through our environments, our work space, and those untidy areas of the home (if you haven't already, considering the Sun entered Virgo back on August 22nd)! Each New Moon sees both the Moon and the Sun reside in the same place in the sky - hence why the Moon seems dark - the Sun's light outshines the Moon, making it seem to disappear from the night sky.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, our planet of communication, learning, thought processes and logical relations with the world. Virgo wants order, rules and can go the nth degree to PERFECT everything and everyone around - including themselves! This is the extreme Shadow of Virgo. Otherwise, orderliness and setting processes in order, via the Emotional Body, will be the themes of this Moon cycle.

Looking at the chart for this New Moon cycle, I see Venus at 00 degrees of Virgo, followed by Mars at 09 degrees of Virgo, Mercury (now Direct! yay!) at 12 degrees of Virgo, and the Sun/Moon as New Moon at 27 degrees of Virgo. This lineup within Virgo brings:

• Venus - our Desire Body - begins a new cycle of how we perfect our heart's true Desires without killing ourselves! Jupiter traveled through Virgo from August 12, 2015 until September 11, 2016 expanding and making it quite LOUD how we either kept ourselves within strict boundaries of behaviour OR busted out of those restraints of old to find new processes (mind, office, home, you name it) to use that brought us closer to those Desires. Now Venus, that planet of love, peace, harmony, balance and beauty, brings a truer vibration to perfect WITH heart, rather than with Ego-mind. Heart vs. mind - can we create an AND here? Mix it up, create a good connection between what the Heart Desires and the Ego-Mind wishes to control?
• Mars - our Action Body - here we take mindful action, keeping tabs on what's worked in the past and what has not. Just because everyone else is doing it, whatever IT is, doesn't mean IT will work for you! Discernment is required here. Think before leaping, yet don't overthink that you miss an opportunity that could bring you closer to those Desires. Mars can mean impatience, wanting to 'get going, eh?' now! Here's where Venus can help with some balance, ease and grace.
• Mercury - our Thought Body - yes! Ruler of Virgo coming full-tilt in a Direct motion after all that Rx (Retrograde) nonsense (!) from July 25th until, well, today's New Moon! Each Mercury Rx timing gives us all a chance to have a rethink, redo, reschedule, and re-organization to come out with, most likely, a totally different direction to mindfully go into. Am I correct? It certainly has for me! Interestingly, Virgo rules the 6th House of daily work + the health of the physical body. Perhaps all those interesting ideas Jupiter brought up for you in 2015/2016 are now jelling into Desires + Action = Mindfully different now in 2017? Hhhmm...let me think on that for a bit...
• And lastly - the Sun/Moon as the New Moon phase - the Sun rules our vitality and Soul Self, taking creative action with fun and play mixed in. The Moon rules our daily habits, our Emotional Body, and those funky Ego-Mind fears of change. The Moon cycle brings forth opportunity to change those daily habits that are getting out of hand, not healthy (haven't been for a while?) and is it TIME yet to make those changes for the better? The Moon rules Cancer and the 4th House of home, mothering/fathering, nurturing Self, then Others. How you were nurtured as a child will show up later in life in daily habits of how you now nurture yourself. Most women I know do for others before doing for Self, especially caregivers. With all of these planetary players here to assist us, perhaps it is TIME to make some much-needed changes in your life? Work-wise? Health-wise? Routines can grow old and comfortable like old runners and jeans. Do they still suit you? Is it time for something different that reflects who you are and where you're at, MINDFULLY, now? Think on this for a bit, and, BE Honest with yourself.

Virgo rules the following within the physical body (according to Jan Spiller's New Moon Astrology):

• Digestion and Assimilation -  heartburn/indigestion can mean you're way offside with your heart's true desires! The physical body is always sending you messages - are you listening?
• Bowels and intestines - is it any wonder why folks do a cleanse this time of year? Clean out those pipes in time for the long, cold winter ahead. 
• Constipation and Diarrhea - here fear from the Ego-mind comes into play. 'Scared shitless' or 'running away with fear' come to mind. No pun intended. Listen to the messages your physical body is sending you.
• The Solar Plexus Chakra - didn't we just undergo a Venus-Moon Star Gate to let go of distortions within this chakra? I love how planetary cycles interact with one another, setting us up for another round of dealing with issues that we may have flunked out on or missed previously! Cool, eh? Read my previous post about the "Venus-Moon Star Gate in Leo" to review all the lessons this chakra brings us to deal with. Now you can see how perfectionism plays a role within the Solar Plexus Chakra re: the Ego-mind's need for control and power! Just saying...

Victoria Beach, Beacon Hill, 2017

Okay, back to the chart for this New Moon cycle, Mercury is exactly opposite Neptune, ruler of Pisces, within Pisces! Interesting that both planetary rulers are opposing each other here! Mucho energy to bring the themes of Virgo (see above) AND the themes of Pisces - illusion/delusion vs. reality? Plus emotional escapism/distraction/addictive behaviours, and that old fav - the Drama Triangle of role-playing: Victim and/or Rescue Me/Rescuer and/or Persecution/Bullying. Which is better? Reality or illusion/delusion? For you?

These themes will be loud and clear for all of us to see and hear, and heal the Shadow aspects of, if we choose to do so. On a higher note, Neptune helps us imagine and envision a better world for Self and Others, and brings forth a new reality based on higher spiritual mores. Drama is creative, colourful and magical! Yes please do NOT forget about the MAGIC everyone! BELIEVE and have FAITH that 'this too shall pass'! Do a Heart's Desire board - create a better daily habit routine - perfect that process at work, at play, at home - and remember to PLAY and have FUN while doing so!

Namaste!

Venus-Moon Star Gate in LEO September 16, 2017

Bow River & Centre St Bridge

Venus-Moon Star Gates, a recap:

Venus is the planet of desires, our Desire Body, and she teaches us about self-reliance within partnerships and relationships. It all starts within you, before you attract the people, events and circumstances outside of you that bring healing, self-awareness and self-love amidst challenges, Ego-mind resistance and drama. Which we call Life Here on Earth!

See my 3-part series of posts re: the Venus Synodic Cycle and the journey all of us, women and men, undergo every 19 months as Venus dances in the evening sky, as the Evening Star, disappears behind the Sun (the Underworld phase), then rises as the Morning Star. Her dance is our dance. Heartfully and soulfully.

We all undergo a process of Letting GO of something that is attached to our Emotional Body during the Balsamic Moon phase, the last phase of every Moon cycle. Each New Moon phase heralds a totally NEW Moon cycle, and brings with it a new theme for us to uncover, explore, heal and then let go of by the Balsamic Moon phase. Cool, isn't it? A monthly emotional rejuvenation plan - who knew?

Double Rainbow 2017

Each monthly meeting of the Moon and Venus creates a Star Gate of Opportunity to cleanse and clear one of our Chakras (those energy centres located along our spine). While Venus is a Morning Star (her Star journey descent into the Underworld - see my post of Inanna's Journey) we humans are able to throw off as many distortions as we individually will allow from each chakra's gate. Talk about energetic cleansing, all on an emotional level!

Since April 23, 2017, we've collectively, from one Balsamic Moon phase to the next, been healing distortions within our:

• Crown Chakra - April 23rd, began removal of the Crown of Authority;
• 3rd Eye Chakra - May 22nd, began removal of the Royal Staff of Perception;
• Throat Chakra - June 20th, began removal of the Necklace of Communication; 
• Heart Chakra - July 20th, began removal of the Breast Plate of Compassion;
• Solar Plexus Chakra - August 18th, began removal of the Ring of Personal Power.

Previous Venus-Moon Star Gate within Solar Plexus Chakra, just completed:

From the August 18th Balsamic Moon phase in Cancer until September 16th at 10:34 a.m., when Venus and the Moon met in the sky, we all experienced letting go of distortions we've clung onto within our Solar Plexus Chakra, this lifetime and from previous lifetimes. Think back and remember what you experienced, emotionally, during this latest Balsamic Moon to Balsamic Moon time period. Anything stand out for you?

July 2017 Storm Clouds, Okotoks, AB

Cancer is the cardinal water sign and brings forth moodiness, sensitive feelings and family dynamics to induce the labour pains (!) of much-needed change. The Moon rules Cancer, and together with Venus, initiated something NEW in how we handle our solar plexus chakra teachings.

Distortions you've been carrying within that Solar Plexus Chakra of yours have been let go of  now (fingers crossed?). Perhaps not ALL distortions - just the ones you were willing to heal at this time. The Solar Plexus Chakra is where we experience the following (according to The Chopra Center):

• Colour - is Yellow,
• Action - through Force, Strength, Control,
• Element -  is FIRE - expressed as anger, frustration, resentment, impatience OR love, creativity, joy and action,
• Main Issues - can be through Ego Identity, Personal Power, Ambitions/Goals,
• When Imbalanced - Suffer from low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions, anger or control issues, weak digestion due to digestive fire, AGNI blockages,
• When Blocked - Low self-esteem, lack of willpower, fear of rejection,
• Heal with RAM Mantra, Sanskrit name of Manipura, and the Affirmation: "I accept myself and am positively empowered. I do enough and I am enough."

Looking over this list, how did you do? Was Pandora's Box opened for you? Were you aware of the depth of Ego's need for control and power struggle issues during this process? How well were you able to nurture yourself through this Ego battle? Don't despair if you think you've missed this opportunity to heal. Whether we are consciously aware of this timing or not, we all underwent some aspect of healing our Solar Plexus Chakra on some level! Remember: the Moon travels through all 12 signs of the Zodiac every 28-29 days - and will pass through Cancer again. Another opportunity awaits!

Current Venus-Moon Star Gate just begun:

McDougall Centre, Calgary, AB 2017

During the next Balsamic Moon to Balsamic Moon phase cycle (begun September 16, 2017 at 10:34 a.m. MDT) Venus and the Moon met within the fixed fire sign of LEO on September 17th at 6:34 p.m. MDT at 27 degrees of Leo 32', creating another Star Gate for us to pass through.

Now, between September 17th and October 16th, we'll collectively remove distortions we carry within our Sacral Chakra - as we take off our Ankle Bracelets of Creativity.

According to The Chopra Center, here's what we work on, personally, within the Sacral Chakra:

• Colour: is Orange;
• Action - Creativity, Emotional Identity;
• Element - is WATER - the energy that brings emotions, feelings, intuition and insights to the surface of our Emotional Body to be dealt with and shared;
• Main Issues - Emotional balance, Sexuality/Desire, Procreation;
• When Imbalanced - Emotional instability, creative blocks, fear of change, sexual dysfunction, depression and our addictions (!);
• When Blocked - Creative blocks, intimacy issues, inability to flow with change;
• Heal with VAM Mantra, Svadhisthana Sanskrit name, and use the Affirmation: "I am beautiful, creative and unique!"

Remember: all of us will experience our respective processes of Letting Go of our distortions within this chakra during this Balsamic Moon to Balsamic Moon phase cycle as we pass through this latest Venus-Moon Star Gate! Each of us is unique, and therefore each of us has our own unique process of self-awareness, coping, healing and letting go. For some it may seem easy-peasy - why? Could be they've already dealt with most of the imbalances and blockages within their Sacral Chakra before now. This doesn't mean they won't experience any struggles - it means they've dealt with more of the load before now. For some of us it could be quite a struggle.

Victoria Ocean Views Sept 2017

I have become aware, these past several years, that each Moon cycle and planetary cycle seems to really make us CONSCIOUSLY AWARE of what we need to know and learn about ourselves, moving forward. It is getting louder and louder, "in your face" energy, events, people, situations and circumstances - almost instantly! Breathe and walk THROUGH the cycles is key. Distracting, escaping and ignoring will not help.

As an example, the Venus-Moon Star Gate journey through my Solar Plexus chakra was rough, with a lot of self-awareness and humbled acceptance that I have more work to do in this area of my life. This is what our life here on Earth is all about: self-awareness and what we CHOOSE to do with the awareness, and WHEN. This is why I love love love Astrology! It always helps me to understand the WHY of current challenges, and that there is a beginning and an end to each cycle of challenges.

Question is: do I hunker down and wait it out or do I consciously allow myself to HEAL myself through it? Considering current hurricane storms brewing down south - I'd rather do the emotional healing as much as my Ego-mind will allow! How about You?

Namaste!
