The 2014 Virgo New Moon (a.k.a. the Sun-Moon conjunction in Virgo) occurs at 7:12a PDT today, the 25th of August 2014 (2°). This conjunction presents a wonderful opportunity to implement workable plans for practical new beginnings in the areas of your life which most support the healthy functionality of your everyday life and being.
The key here is the functionality of your everyday life and being. Virgo is the 6th sign of the Zodiac, and its purpose is to make sure that you are addressing the mundane elements of your day-to-day life. It makes sure that you are applying the effort you need to apply in order to attend to your ability to live the lifestyle you choose to live – lifestyles which were determined by the presence and/or influence of Taurus in your chart(s).
Virgo’s presence in our lives helps us solve problems; heal physical, emotional, and psychological wounds; and create and implement systems, processes, and routines in order to assist us in establishing and maintain the practical workability of our daily lives. It makes sure we address our personal responsibilities for our livelihood. For you specifically, this 2014 Virgo New Moon may represent the emergence of new ideas and/or a new way of going about how you live the day-to-day of your life in one or more areas of your life. If you want to make a lifestyle change, this is the influence under which to create it, plan it, and begin making it real.
This 2014 Virgo New Moon is also unique in that major life shifts could happen today as another conjunction also occurs on this day – Mars conjunct Saturn in Scorpio (17°). Though it does not make an exact major aspect with the Virgo New Moon, it does create a minor aspect – a wide quintile (a 72° aspect, but I use a 3° orb for all aspects). This indicates that these conjunctions do strengthen each other’s power and influence, and this could make for some very interesting activities and events throughout the day.
The range of influence for the Mars-Saturn conjunction is the 20th through 30th of August. This gives us a 10-day window of intense activity in which actions may be taken to establish clear and undeniable personal emotional-energetic boundaries.
You are likely to establish these boundaries for yourself and/or others to protect yourself from being over-powered, controlled, or manipulated by others. However, if you are creating these boundaries out of fear rather than strength, you may find that you begin alienating the very people who could assist you most in developing much-needed clarity and trust in your life. It is important that the boundaries you are creating are not actually walls intended to keep out necessary transformative experiences that could effectively assist the forward and upward progress of your life.
The Scorpio Mars-Saturn conjunction makes a trine aspect to Chiron Retrograde in Pisces, indicating that the events that occur during his influence could be very emotionally and spiritually healing or they could be very emotionally or spiritually destructive. With Chiron, the ruler of Virgo, traveling through its opposite sign of Pisces, this could also represent a somewhat painful yet positive reality check for you as the fantasies and delusions you have created in order to emotionally and spiritually protect yourself may find themselves being met with harsh reality. This reality check is meant to help you transform and step fully into your personal power. It is also meant to awaken you to how your ‘protective measures’ may be damaging the functionality of your life. However, if you choose to take a victim mentality and claim that you are being attacked or harmed, this could prove to be a very devastating time in your life’s journey as your best-laid plans based upon fantastic ideals may crumble to the ground. Recognize this as the Universe forcing you to face the reality of your life, whether you want to or not.
The Scorpio Mars-Saturn conjunction also creates a square aspect with Venus in Leo. This indicates that others may bring things to Light that may be extremely challenging for you to accept or deal with. Be ready to deal with revelations or awakenings that may lead to extreme displays of transformative or destructive behavior. This is a very intense aspect for a day in which there is so much potential for healing and creation of new and healthy lifestyle paths under the Virgo New Moon. It also reveals the promise of facing your demons and delusions to clear away the emotional defenses which no longer serve you so you can establish healthy and powerful boundaries which truly improve the efficient and effective functionality of your life.
If you are experiencing great emotional pain or suffering during this 2014 Virgo New Moon and the Scorpio Mars-Saturn conjunction, you may want to ask others whom you trust for assistance in seeing and understanding what is really going on rather than looking for affirmation of what you believe is going on. Once you can grasp the reality of the situation, you can take practical and purposeful steps to heal the functionality of your life, possibly by creating a new plan and/or a new lifestyle for yourself under the influence of the 2014 Virgo New Moon.
