Hello Good Humans!
The New Moon occurs at 11° Virgo on Monday September 2, 2024 at 9:55pm in New York, USA. The aspect is an opposition to Saturn. Other aspects also happening are Mars square Neptune, Neptune sextile Pluto and Uranus trine Pluto. These are ego revealing and socially transformative configurations, much of which is currently being displayed politically and socially. Personally, we may have to face issues of fear, loneliness, oppression and old structures that no longer support our present needs. A new Moon happens when both the Sun and Moon are zero degrees away from each other occupying the same degree of a sign. New moons are about initiation, beginnings and the new cycle of the moon. It is the time to start projects and plan your trajectory towards your goal. Plant now the seeds of future successes. New moons are more emotionally balanced than full moons and last for the two weeks preceding the full moon.
Facing Fears with Grace
The emotionality and intuitiveness of the Moon is challenged by the somber wet blanket of Saturn. Issues of responsibilities, limitations, karmic lessons, isolation and loneliness may have us in melancholic mire, looking back at better times and wishing to return to them. Figures of authority may seem oppressive. The key here is to allow yourself to feel your emotions and use them as a guide to create better, supportive structures. This may include new personal boundaries and new tools for psychological adaptation. Professional help may be required. The “it is what it is” mentality will not be helpful. We must engage in soul support and restructure to move forward. Make a to-do list of improvements you can make. Start with an easy one. Maybe that’s just admitting you need help. This can generate some momentum to accomplish more. Engage in activities that can express your feelings and bring joy: art, singing, journaling, music, movies, walking in nature can bring relief. Reaching out to others and seeing that you’re not the only one facing these challenges can help too. Maybe taking a break from the news and media will lessen the intrusion of negative feelings and circumstantial depression.
Now let’s look at the other aspects happening. First, Mars square Neptune. This is an aggressor/victim line up with drama bomb potential. Egos will hold the potential to be over-sensitive, convoluted and confused resulting in overstepped boundaries and defensive tactics. If someone gives you a boundary, you don’t have to fully understand it, you just have to respect it. There will a better time to find out why. Relentless pursuit will lead to arguments and anger. Stay away from the drama bomb people in your life. Also be safe around cars. Definitely avoid dangerous locations. Now, here’s the hopeful news. The outer moving planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are beginning a restorative configuration, a magic triangle. Change, liberation, kindness, healing and regenerative resources will align to bring healing to the collective consciousness, a chance to evolve. However, this will mean the recognition of current paradigms that are old and outmoded in today’s society and their dismantling. We will have to sort through our past collective mistakes to define what will be better solutions to world problems. Unfortunately this can be somewhat messy since many will want to hold on to their power in the present structures out of fear of change, even for the better. This will be played out in the arenas of politics, healthcare, environmental pollution, climate change, psychology, humanity, religion and spirituality. These areas have already become polarized and need harmony amongst their leaders and followers. Big businesses will be forced to be accountable and this will be debated. False profits, false prophets and hypocrisies in religions and will surface in desperation to hold onto old dogmas as new and kinder beliefs take root. Can we realize our commonalities are stronger than the differences? Are we able to see a kinder, holistic vision as a One World Organism? These years from 2025 to 2028 will give us a rare chance to do so. Let’s engage in the evolution of the kindest!
