New moon solar eclipse Virgo ~ September 1, 2016

With every new moon we begin fresh or start over in life, this time the new moon is also an eclipse which means it's like a turbo new moon.
Today the Universe directs us to the areas ruled by Virgo: physical health, diet, exercise, daily routines, work and being efficient, organized and helpful. If you struggle with an inner need for perfection, or the lack of it, then this moon will highlight that as well.

The ruler of the Zodiac virgin is Mercury, so we also need to look at our communication and mental health in general. At the same time, Mercury just went retrograde in Virgo, meaning we're also under the spell of constant thinking, calculating and questioning. Our Virgo friends are known for paying great attention to details with a tendency to be excessively picky or critical. The greatest advice today is therefore to silent the mind by imagining new ways to improve.

On one hand, discipline, routines and setting goals rule the day. On the other hand, the energy surrounding us is about healing, solitude, gratefulness and to give to others. Virgo wants to perfect, complete and integrate, meaning we work on wholeness by unifying everything we learned this year to create a new cycle. For those of you practicing healing, today's moon will increase those energies with an opportunity for renewal and enhancement. Enjoy the magic given by Virgo!
