New Moon in Virgo

Virgo rules health, healing, service, sacrifice, and mentoring. Virgo is the healer, the doctor, the nurse, the teacher, the therapist, the worker, the researcher, the scientist, and the engineer. For Virgo, caring comes in the form of finding workable solutions to everyday problems. Virgo is the true healer of the zodiac because for Virgo, if something causes pain, it warrants serious attention and a real cure.

This is the New Moon to connect with the part of you that expresses the values of service and selflessness. Virgo rules compartmentalization, perfection, science, medicine, health and healing, engineering, teaching, working for the common good, and aiding the poor and sick through research, development and humanitarian aid programs. Virgo recognizes the value of healing oneself and the world. Though it can be hard to do, this is the New Moon to realize that we each have a duty to heal ourselves by reaching out to heal others.

And by the way, you can’t heal the planet if you won’t take responsibility for your own health and well-being. This year the New Moon and Sun in Virgo are conjunct Saturn, the teacher. This is a New Moon in Virgo to take your commitment to health and healing very seriously. So let’s get right down to it. Start by looking at your body, mind, and heart. Where is your pain? Where is your fear? Are you willing to face it honestly? How much compassion and love are you willing to bring to your pain and fear?

If health and well-being is your goal, this is the New Moon for you! Virgo rules the physical body, the temple of the spirit; and Virgo cares deeply about bodily purity. If we view the body as a sacred vessel to house the mind and heart, it becomes almost impossible to consider doing it harm. Long ago, a Virgo native must have coined the phrase, “A healthy body creates a healthy mind.”

In extremis, Virgo is hypochondriacal and often follows a compulsively restrictive dietary regime. In balance, Virgo is attentive to good health and ingests deliciously healthy foods in moderation. Don’t underestimate the Saturn in Virgo (the long view about achieving your goals) as a helpmate in the effort to get healthy.

This is the best New Moon for initiating an intention to deal with substance abuse, weight problems, and eating disorders. This is the New Moon to get serious about seeking medical attention for symptoms or illnesses you have been avoiding or denying. Bring happiness to your loved ones by committing to illness prevention and better health. This is the time to investigate dietary changes, daily exercise programs, and improving sleep and learning relaxation techniques. Make no mistake about it; the mind-body connection is the most powerful medicine for healing and the true wisdom of Virgo. If you are one of these people who find it hard to do for self, then do it for your loved ones.

Uranus (alternative thinking) in Pisces (peacefulness, unconditional love), Neptune (immune system) and Chiron (wounding) in Aquarius (alternatives), and Sun/Moon in Virgo all support achieving total health through activities like Mindfulness Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, or Aikido, all of which integrate the Virgo/Pisces polarity by simultaneously healing the body and centering the mind. Getting healthy is one of the highest forms of self-love.

Remember that in order to make your commitments stick you must continue to give your goals lots of attention and energy during the two weeks while the Moon is waxing to full. So, get working to heal your body, mind and spirit on this most amazing New Moon!

Since Virgo usually takes something very personal and expands its sphere of influence out into the communal/transpersonal realm, here are a couple of examples to inspire you to get on the Virgo health and healing bandwagon. Choose to walk instead of driving to work or to the store, and you will increase your own health while helping the planet. Join AA, OA, NA and other support groups and get help for your own addiction while playing a part in the healing of others. How about this: buy your normal allotment of groceries but eat half of what you would normally and give the rest to a food bank. Buy less, save more, invest your savings and help stabilize our economy.

The New Moon in Virgo is also the right time to deal with unrelenting self-criticism and perfectionism. Virgo tends to suffer from a sense of never being good enough; nothing it does, creates, thinks, or feels is worthy and therefore it constantly questions and critiques itself. If this sounds like you, this is the New Moon to take your inner critic in hand and tame it. With Venus (creativity), Mercury (communication) and Mars (action) conjunct in Libra (relationship, balance) any effort to take on the inner critic will reap huge creative rewards.

Here is something you might not know: the Goddess Astrea, the “Starry One” symbolized Virgo, the sign which rules the physical world and by extension, our bodies. Virgo knows that all life comes from star-stuff. Everything you are existed 15 billion years ago at the time of the Big Bang. Virgo and Pisces enjoy a deep connection around this realization. Pisces understands the oneness of all life through a deeply spiritual lens. Virgo understands the oneness of all life through the physical realities of cosmology, mathematics and physics. The potential of the entire cosmos lives within the body… and we all have the same body, made of the same particles, sourced in the same oneness.

A New Moon in Virgo and the subsequent waxing two-week phase to the Full Moon in Pisces (the Moon of the Bodhisattvic intention) is a time for serious inner reflection and planning toward becoming an agent of service and healing for yourself and the world.
