I feel like I can easily simplify the message for this Virgo New Moon. Yes, Mercury is moving into Libra on the same day. Yes, Venus is moving into Scorpio on the same day. This is all about purging and relationships. It’s about cutting out/editing and (sometimes) making the (tough) choices that are best for one’s own wellbeing. Each person is responsible his/her/their own life and circumstances. Our decisions begin very early on in our lives and the accountability begins there, even before we knew what we were doing. Our brain waves are in theta state for the majority of our childhood. We inherit perceptions and behaviors that we later have the responsibility to edit if we want our lives to perform differently than what that subconscious programming and the environment at the time allowed. Do we have a responsibility to know what we are doing? I think, yes. Being mindful of how actions affect others, perse if one lashes out at another in judgement and believes so righteously in one’s own narrow view, it doesn’t mean the other party has to participate or even agree with your perspective or identified reality. The thing is, no one is forced ‘into’ relationship. Relationships are like most working arrangements: “AT CHOICE.”
If someone wants to lash out to you due to their own delusions, let them, and merely remove yourself from the line of fire. You do not have to suffer the attacks of others because they “think” they love you, when in reality, their actions are their verbal abuse (Mercury movements) and misapplied projections. Virgo is not the same as its opposite sign of Pisces, which is more in the expression of “unconditional love” and has “trouble with boundaries,” and quite frankly: seeing clearly. That’s not to say that Pisces is wrong and Virgo is right. Absolutely not. It’s far more nuanced than that. Don’t make astrology into rigid blocks and definitions or caricatures.
Virgo uses an active discretion to carve out the healthy life one deserves to live, with people, who not only respect one’s boundaries, but one’s authority over oneself to be self governing, self-discriminating and aware of what is inherently good or bad for their given moment on this planet. In other words, Virgo helps us understanding alignment and proper situational service. It is a sign of mental awareness of one’s body and current conditions. You can destroy your body with your mind, or vice versa. The mind has that power over oneself.
Back to relationships, which is more appropriate for the specifics of this New Moon in Virgo and the imminent Venus retrograde. Look at the flags, red and green.
People who are willing to speak sensibly will not lash out when you protect your own space. That’s an easy red flag. One usually shows concern for the other when a boundary comes, respect is offered in healthy relationships. Do not confuse a boundary with a demand. I have heard toxic people try to insist that their boundary is that you behave a certain way; and it’s usually those people who still insist on the relationship in the first place, as long as it conforms to their toxic reality and perspective. Usually there is a sense “you owe me” in those relationships. It’s really easy to spot. If you place a boundary they will get mad. Overtime if you have grown up in such a toxic environment, you learn that self-protection is wrong. It can be very hard to live in a world with that false belief.
Lasher-outers, in fact, most likely lack self-respect themselves, and think you ought to help them continue such a program, unchecked. In your ultimate compassion, you still should not be in their line of fire. They will make you think that if you are their target, you’ll heal them, or be good for them in some way. Do not fall for it.
You are free to “slice” yourself free from toxic cords and open yourself to the life you are designed to live from your heart of sincerity. Virgo comes after Leo, a sign of the heart, but the Virgoan nature can be true, or harshly and destructively inaccurate–if it operates without heart at all (awareness, knowing, loving). Accuracy matters with Virgo. If someone doesn’t understand the harm they caused after one or two explanations;and shows no interest in understanding anything besides their own position, you can most likely figure that no amount of energy you invest in them or in the communication attempts will lead to more understanding. They are not interested in understanding. They are only interested in being “right” in your “wronging of them,” because you are not conforming to their expectations of how things should go. You are not conforming to their reality as they know it. That confuses them, because they cannot comprehend that they are wrong–there isn’t an inkling of doubt in them, which is a bit odd.
At this Virgo New Moon, it’s time to release the victim and focus on those healthy relationships that I know you have; and if you don’t have any, it’s likely you need even deeper self examination, and more personal accountability. Love will never be a scorecard; and people who are loved, when it is true, will simply feel respected. The will FEEL loved. They don’t need to be convinced that you are the right, and loving one. That’s how simple it really is.
Now go build your schedule and your health around the people, work, and relationships that truly have your wellbeing in mind; they will always be willing to listen and collaborate, or negotiate–especially if they were momentarily in their feelings and got a chance to reflect and make amends, or are interested in repair.
Anyone else, is simply asking you to negate them from your field, and stop allowing them to be the energetic vampire. You are NOT serving them if this is what they are doing. You are contributing to the problem if you don’t free yourself.
Ah, that awareness thing. Most people relate it to spirituality not realising it applies to us emotionally and physically as well. It is such a combined force, but weakened by any layer not attended Ka.
Mind you, the opposite can truly speed the train up. I’ve gone through so much physically that it it has sped up that emotional and spiritual awareness like crazy…I unintentionally got on a bullet train to that particular destination. But then again, I had bought that ticket before I came down here.
And those relationship things are incredible. I have to laugh, but I shouldn’t, in how we can attract that one person that can push our buttons so beautifully. They are our teachers, even if it is to go beyond them…fast 🤣❤️🙏
Here’s to the next destination being on a nice yacht cruising in the sunshine with a nice breeze. Well, it has awareness too. And nice slow adjustments to its discoveries. Great post kind lady 🤣❤️🙏
Dear friend Mark,
I’m sitting with your words. Knowing your physical brought you into a deep and sincere awareness of love, to show up as source endlessly providing from the infinite. I agree how the combined force of mind/body and spirit is each a “layer” needing attending. This New Moon in Virgo asks exactly that: can we attend to the physical with respect to the mental and emotional? If not, what needs removing and what can be left behind? It is time to make good choices.
When you say “They are our teachers, even if it is to go beyond them…fast 🤣”
We let go with love and it may simply not be seen nor validated by any other, and it need not be. One does not need permission or external validation.
Our physical vessels are all our own, as long as we have Mind-bodies.
So much love your way…
Thank you for your thoughts and your kindness… that awareness grows each moment as we sit in the eternal moment of witnessing what simple is, and not fight it. To achieve simplicity may take slow adjustments or it might be brief and scalpel-like…
Resting in the truth, that it is ever revealing itself… a free energy… and a freeing liberation from illusion.
Beautifully said Ka, may your scalpel not be too ruthless and your love a cushion for your awareness kind lady. That light found a delight to behold 🤗❤️🙏
All we can do is trust the process, Mark. As long as we know we are sincere and kind, we cannot allow others to take advantage of us. No matter how much we love them. That’s also how we release the victim… Be well! Take care, and much love, Ka 💕
I was born in the Virgo period and, also, around the time of the equinox.
Perhaps that is why I have always had a slight obsession with balance…
Your characterisation of Virgo is interesting. I’ve always had the reputation, among my colleagues, of the person who best handles high volumes of detail and is able to be utterly unemotional when needed. Accuracy… Hmm…
Anyhow, what you say about extricating oneself is very true. Sometimes, all one can do is withdraw and hope another comes to his or her senses, preferably without needing another incarnation to do so. But the withdrawing can, still, hurt.
Whu did aurocorrupt think “excruciating oneself” was a reasonable replacement for “extricating oneself”? Glad I caught that one… 🤣
The wind blows coldly over the mountains, and is sharper than a blade, whilst the rain can penetrate like arrows. But, in these, there is a lesson of endurance, patience. I listen to them. Feel them.
I am rambling, again.
In the end, I think Virgo will always weigh emotions in the light of reason, and vice versa. Will always see the darkness in the heartof light, and the light in the darkness. And will choose, ruthlessly, if need be.
Balance…
Actual birth charts are quite complex and there’s the rising sign, Moon, Mercury, Venus… etc…
When one says “I was when during the Virgo period” it translates into “when the Sun was in Virgo.” Virgo is an archetype, symbol, or energy, theme… Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury so takes on that energy and is different than Gemini, which is also ruled by Mercury.
All this to say: it’s interesting for you to relate to Virgo and Libra and it actually gets more complex in terms of astrology and interpretation. That said, a sun sign is still strong with in meaning.
Thank you for sharing. I’m glad it wasn’t too excruciating to read. lol 🤣
Autocorrect with a Virgoan “Purist” or extreme extrication… is excruciatingly painful. It’s not unlike gangrene or an infection gone wild, or a cancer. Removal or excision might be the only option left!
Yes, I know there’s a lot more to it than the sun. I know some people who keep drawing these funny diagrams and talking about moons and planets… 😉😆
I’m now in danger of excruciating exorcism…! 😱
I think I woke up from my slumber “just” to laugh and reply to this comment! 😂
Oooh – you really are psychic…! Even when sleeping! 😴👀👻
🤯
Also, thanks for leading us into the poetry of nature….
in your lovely ramble; it was metaphorical.
I am nothing if not a metaphor!
💖😂⭐️🤯
Boundaries have come up in a big way ever since the most recent eclipse in Pisces. I hope the new moon puts the issue to bed a bit for a while as it’s getting tiresome. So true about respect being fundamental in a loving relationship!
Thank you, Kristen! Respect is essential for love to be actually love! 💗
There is so much initiation with this New Moon in Virgo with Mercury’s shift to 0 Libra and Venus’s shift to 0 Scorpio. This might well be the beginning of a new way of relating to those boundaries altogether. Venus has been in retrograde shadow since August 31. Venus will go retrograde officially on October 3 to November 13/14. So I think that whatever is coming up now is the beginning of a new way of way….Uranus retrograde now also heralds some events around liberty and freedom in probably novel ways…. With some unexpected shifts. Also Neptune in Aries will be opposing this new Mercury in Libra, so that will bring some reconfiguration around clarity and confusion in communication as well in relating (Libra)
That finally eclipse in the cycle will be in February 2027.
The changes taking place during this timeline are so transformative and challenging! 😅 But in between it all, I can feel the expansive freedom rising within me and in others, and this makes it all worth it. Thank you Ka! It’s an era we will never forget. 🌈🧡🌈
Oh Karen,
I’m blown away by how challenging *and* transformative it has been—also while regularly calling in the highest and best timeline which I will become ever more dedicated to. It is all worth it. The freedom and the breaking of chains from lineages and unconscious patterning is all worth it. Thank you for being here! 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕🫶💫
Yes so much healing! but worth it! ❤️🩹🧡🌈
