This new moon in Virgo has some special sauce on it! It is exact tonight, September 14 at 9:40 p.m. eastern time. The special sauce is that Mercury retrograde in Virgo ends tomorrow, September 15 at 1:21 p.m. eastern. New moons are about new beginnings and with Mercury retrograde out of the way, we can feel freer to move forward with our plans without worrying too much about frustrating delays. Keep in mind that the Mercury post-retrograde shadow period ends on September 29, so continue to stay alert and pay attention to details.

The good news is that paying attention to detail is in line with the practical, earth sign Virgo archetype. Virgo is also a mutable sign, which means that it has the flexibility to deal with changes and come up with a new, logical course of action.

To work with the energy of the Virgo new moon, reevaluate how you function on a day-to-day basis. Do you give yourself enough time to do all that you want to get done? Go back to the drawing board and establish new daily routines and schedules if you think it would be more efficient and better suited to your needs.

Virgo is also about taking care of the physical body and doing things to maintain your health. This new moon cycle would be a good time to change your eating habits for the better, improve your sleep schedule, and/or to start a new exercise program. If you haven’t been to the doctor lately just for a routine checkup, you may want to consider it.

Another characteristic attributed to Virgo is being of service to others, which can manifest in so many ways. If there are situations in your life that call for you to help someone personally, as part of your job, or as a volunteer, the Universal vibes are supportive of that.

This 2-week new moon cycle will be a great time to clean up any problems that may have cropped up during the past few weeks and to start fresh with any new ideas that you have been putting off because of the Mercury retrograde. Virgo, which is ruled by Mercury, is mentally sharp. Tap into that energy. Put your thinking cap on and create at will!
