Virgo New Moon - September 15/16, 2012

September is in full swing now, and the last vestiges of summer are drawing to a close. Of course, for the southern hemisphere, it is the end of winter. Regardless of our location on the Earth, the Sun is moving closer to the equator with the transitional equinox to occur in a few days when the Sun will begin to transit Libra. As this transition is occurring, we will also begin to experience Saturn's energy in a different sign, Jupiter's retrograde in Gemini, Mars moving into Sagittarius, Venus moving into Virgo and Mercury moving into Scorpio. As the article at Lunar Living explains, we can use the clarity of this New Moon's energy help us slide smoothly into the equinox on September 22nd. After that, the multitude of transitional placements in early October could become a bit overwhelming.
