This new moon has a deep sense of evaluation about it. You tap into your inner analyst to digest and sort out the details to better understand where you currently are and where you want to go. No area of your life is left unexamined by the thoroughness of this self-inventory. The Virgo aim is to be of highest and best use to themselves and society, and one of the superpowers of this energy is to be able to break a big vision down to manageable parts, creating efficiencies and destroying any bottlenecks in its path. Clutter, physically, emotionally, and mentally, is the enemy, and you will not idly stand by and let entropy take over something that is important to you right now.
Communicating our perspective may require some adjustments and practice, as you need some time to integrate the mental lessons and newfound reason you are experiencing. Be wary of telling others what they want to hear to avoid conflict or confrontation. Mercury is in Libra, so tact is available and probably needed for these kinds of conversations. It will be easy to veer into exaggeration/hyperbole with its square to Jupiter, so take care to ensure the words you are using have integrity and the right level of specificity.
While part of you may be craving sweeping changes, the name of the game is small adjustments and incremental moves. One of the gifts of the current Mars retrograde cycle is you get a chance to examine your typical reactions and see if you want to make some changes. There’s a better understanding of your impulses available to you. This can also lead to internal tension and frustration, so make sure to move your body to help alleviate stress.
This new moon invites you to transform any self-righteousness and/or self-judgment that has overstayed its welcome. The walls of unworthiness that you have built up between yourself and what you really desire deep down come crumbling down. Be willing to be wrong about what you are capable of; what if you’ve actually underestimated your abilities all this time? It’s not easy for Virgo energy to be wrong about something. However, arguing for your self-imposed limitations is not a viable path for this new moon and deep down your soul knows it.
Intentions: I’m willing to be wrong about what I perceive as limitations/weaknesses in myself. I breakthrough stagnation by moving my body and clearing clutter mentally, emotionally, and physically. I embrace taking baby steps towards my goals and adjusting as I go.
