September Lunar Phases & Moon Planting Guide ☘️🍃🎋

If last lunar month was full-on, this month sees us going into eclipse season which includes a SuperMoon, so expect some very intense energies around!

At the end of the old Moon cycle, Mercury turned direct on Thurs 29 Aug (hooray!), then the day before the New Moon, Uranus turns retro and Pluto sneaks out of Aquarius for his brief Last Tango in Capricorn.

The New Moon in Virgo on Tues 3 Sept starts the six-week eclipse season, so take extra care as you go about your day-to-day activities.

This Virgo New Moon is likely to introduce changes to the way we approach our wellbeing and everyday life. This is an excellent time to start a new health regime, go on a diet or begin a cleanse.

The energy flow with a Virgo New Moon is to do anything that brings a new sense of order into your life. If you’re thinking of de-cluttering your house, this New Moon provides perfect timing, and may even demand it of you!!  You may feel it’s time to start a cleanse, detoxifying now that we’re into Spring in the southern hemisphere (Virgo loves purity!). If you’re feeling an unusually strong urge to spring-clean and tidy up the place, you won’t be alone. Virgo loves order more than anything, a place for everything and everything in its place.

Virgo is an Earth sign, cautious and practical, taking its time to create the order which it loves. It has a tendency towards perfectionism and is excellent at attention to detail.  The challenge for Virgo is not to get lost in the details and then lose sight of the overall vision, the classic state of “can’t see the wood (forest) for the trees”.  It’s great to be on top of the details, but remember to keep them in context.

If your birthday is close to this New Moon, this marks the beginning of a new cycle in your life in terms of your identity and your sense of purpose.

Remember to set your New Moon intentions within 24 hours of the New Moon. The New Moon is exact at 11.55am Queensland time (AEST) on Tues 3 Sept at 11 degrees Virgo.
