The New Moon marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. HAPPY ROSH HASHANAH to my family, friends and clients.
It’s a dark moon in Virgo September 9th whose Numerology is 9/9/18 =1 + 8 =9. This adds up to triple 9 a time of closure endings and a need to use this New moon cycle to be a Hermit The # 9 the Hermit in the Tarot.
The New Moon also carries a very spiritual message as Neptune the planetary ruler of Pisces opposes the Sun and Moon at 17 degrees 00 minutes Virgo @ 11:01 am PDT/ 2:01 pm EDT/ 6:01 am GMT.
All New Moon’s are the most fertile dark feminine times of the Month. This is the time to go deeply within. The Dark Moon is the womb itself, the cauldron of rebirth and magic the darkness which holds all potential. In Virgo, this is very physically aligned with our digestive systems and with our dedication of ourselves to serve and steward the earth, our work communities pets and health.
The overall tone of this New moon is to honour the body, the earth, the environment, and with perfecting ourselves working on our health and purifying our minds too as Mercury rules Virgo.

The New Moon is conjunct to Fixed Star Asterion which means Starry. It is in the constellation Canes Venatici -the Hound Dogs. A recently added constellation which features two dogs. The Northern hound is called Asterion and contains M51 Copula. Asterion means Starry. The Southern Hound is called Chara which is the root word for charity or Joy or Dear contains another star. Cor Caroli. Means dear to her master.
In 2006 astronomer Margaret Turnbull labelled Beta Cvn this star as the stop stellar system candidate to search for extraterrestrial life forms. https://phys.org/news/2006-02-stars-extraterrestrials.html
This would be a great time to tune into the messages from these cosmic hounds man’s best starry friends. It makes me think of Elvis Presley’s very early hit You Ain’t Nothin’ But a Houndog.
The balance between the very humble practical Virgo earth energy and Neptune the planet of spirituality, of the unreal, the imaginal, the creative, ephemeral, spiritual, our dreams, the oceanic oneness of source that we all come from is what we need to balance at this new Moon.
PLUTO is trining the Sun and Moon from Capricorn
bringing a depth of soul wealth to us if we just tune into our soul’s deepest desires. This is extremely empowering, Pluto in Capricorn is also grounded, practical, resourceful and focussed on the goal. PLuto’s blessings are rare and special. Use this New moon to totally realign your soul’s path and your body and soul’s interconnection.
JUPITER the great benefic also applies by a sextile to the sun and Moon. Jupiter and Pluto on their own ar sextile to each other at 18+ degrees. This benefits anyone with 18+ Taurus energy.
The Grand Earth trine of Saturn in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus and Mercury in Virgo the ruling disposition of this Virgo New Moon is still on. This blesses us all with earth blessings, with the wonder and beauty of being human on the earth plane.
Saturn squares Chiron @ 9 degrees ARIES and Ceres @ 1 degree LIBRA
This is a very significant and powerful healing- T-square with Chiron at the very beginning of the Zodiac and Ceres at the Autumn Equinox point. It indicates a karmic change in the way humans honour relationships in business to each other, to the earth mother, their bodies and the spirits.
VENUS is at zero degrees SCORPIO indicating a new beginning in soul love, self- transformation and deep psychological insights.
Venus is still squaring Mars at 29 Capricorn.
Their next square beside the one we just had will be on October 10with Venus at 10 degrees a Scorpio and Mars at 10 degrees Aquarius.
Remember that Venus will turn retrograde October 5- November 15th. That’s 49 days and nights of romantic reviews.
VENUS is opposing URANUS in TAURUS and squaring the Nodes
Anything can happen in love, luck, money and creativity now.
Venus governs Taurus and those born 8-10 days or so into the sign will be feeling this pressure to loosen up to get a complete makeover is strong. We will all feel the winds of change Uranus blows on the cosmos affecting the stock markets and banks, and the very foundation of taxes, finances, sex, secrets, power and hidden things in general. Many people will be totally shocked at the hidden agendas used by those in power at ever level come to the surface.
VENUS AND CHIRON QUINCUNX each other
A lot of vulnerability and wounding is coming up to be healed in new ways but there is MUCH RESISTANCE TOO. Venus in Scorpio will help us to feel deeper to sense what is going on at the soul of those wounds. This can be potentially healing but will take much excavation.
Mars is at 29 Capricorn the most critical degree
Mars is re-activating its” degree position in May events that began back then are reinvigorated now. Tempers and tensions will be strained, the pressure to get things done to take responsibility, to be mature to carry the load is heavy.
Mars enters Aquarius on Sept.. 10
There’s a lot going on right now. I would follow the indications of the Numerology of this new moon and the #9 of the Hermit and spend time in Nature pay close attention to what you eat and your health, get your affairs in order. Practice discipline, humility and find closure so that you can make headway for new beginnings when Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8th.
I am leaving the beautiful majestic mountains which dominate Vancouver and the ocean and heading to the South-West to my second home Sedona on the 10th. I will be in transition. Rosh Hashonah the Jewish New Year is a day of the sweetness of eating apples and honey. It is also Hijri in the Muslim calendar.
