Musings on Virgo Season & New Year Gifts from Uranus
Howdy!
Long time no talk! I was out of commission last month due to unexpected health issues, but I’m recovered now, so here I am again in your inbox to share helpful news from the cosmos! ;)
We are now firmly into Virgo season, which began August 23 and continues for a few more weeks until September 22. Monday evening was the Virgo New Moon at 5.52pm PDT.
But first: Let’s find some New Year Inspiration in the midst of another less-than-stellar summer, shall we?!
For those of you who are Jewish — or for those of you, like me, who wouldn’t mind 2021 concluding already (funny not funny) — I wish you Happy New Year blessings this Rosh Hashanah!
I’m not going to pretend that I understand the full spiritual importance of this holy holiday — I don’t. I also don’t mean to diminish its significance. But, when I hear the words “New Year,” well, I just think, “A New Year? Yes please and thank you. Right now!”
Are you with me on this one?
But what does that have to do with Virgo season, you may be wondering? Well, there’s good news and bad news. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first:
From my perspective, Uranus is a mixed bag.
Uranus brings about sudden and unexpected events or situations — sometimes they are beneficial because we have insights and epiphanies where before there was confusion. Or, there is a change where before there was stagnation.
If you’re a stable and grounded person (like me!) and you love a good routine, then Uranian energy can feel destabilizing at times. And it is. Anxiety much?!
We are currently under a tense cosmic configuration involving Uranus for all of 2021 and 2022 (a square with Saturn in Aquarius).
The astrology is reflecting the ongoing struggle many of us are experiencing with leaving the old behind (Saturn) and stepping into a new reality that we have no choice but to embrace (Uranus).
(I encourage you to watch my YouTube video about what this means so that you better understand the prevailing energies of this moment and how to work with it to your advantage.)
That doesn’t sound great, right? Nope. But if you’re paying attention to reality, then you’re also not surprised! ;)
And that’s why I was so excited about Monday’s special New Moon!
Here’s the good news:
While the Sun is in Virgo until September 22, it is making a harmonious aspect to Uranus. The New Moon was also in a beautiful configuration to Uranus (a trine at 14°36’ Virgo-Taurus).
We can expect that this Virgo season will bring the kind of insights and clarity that will clear out cobwebs (Virgo loves tidiness). Where has there been confusion or stickiness in your mind, your physical reality or even your spiritual life?
Virgo is the archetype of “healthy function” and the integration of the mind-body-spirit, so these themes will be more active in your life for the next few weeks.
What Virgo wants more than anything is to be in “healthy function.” Meaning, it wants life to work with efficiency and at maximum productivity.
Virgo has an exacting eye and a humble nature, which is put to good work serving others. Virgo is always a productive member of one’s family and community.
But in order to achieve true healthy function, there must be alignment between the mind-body-spirit, which is, perhaps, the most important lesson we learn from the Virgo archetype.
And since we are now experiencing a harmonious planetary alignment with Uranus, we can expect to receive such unexpected blessings of a visionary, revolutionary nature.
Ask yourself:
In the last few days, have you experienced a profound shift of perspective that diminishes (or frees you entirely) from thoughts or situations that create suffering?
Perhaps you are on the precipice of having a great realization about something that has been bothering you over a period of time?
Or, maybe you suddenly have experiential awareness of something you only had intellectual knowledge of before (this often happens with spiritual teachings that you understand mentally, but not necessarily from direct experience).
If you want it, if you ask for it, Uranus will help bring fresh perspective and insight to the Virgo archetypes described above so that you can better integrate your mind-body-spirit and live a more healthy life for yourself and others.
Spiritual Practice Contemplations
This Virgo season — and while we’re still under the New Moon and Jewish New Year energies — it is an excellent time to meditate, journal, or otherwise ask that Uranus lend you insight and expand your thinking so that you can shift your perspective and bring fresh vision to your mind-body-spirit:
What could be better aligned or integrated in my life so that I am reaching optimum health of my three “bodies” (my mind, body, and spirit)?
Do I sacrifice or neglect one of my “bodies?” If so, why? Is there a way to correct this pattern of behavior?
Where am I too critical or exacting in a way that is actually counterproductive to being in healthy function in my life? How can Uranus shift my perspective so that I’m gentler on my mind-body-spirit?
I have every confidence that if you pose the above contemplations now under New Moon energy, important insights will be illuminated for you before or during the Full Moon on September 20.
As always, I send my greetings in hope that you and yours are healthy and happy during these challenging times. Be well.
