Venus opposite Jupiter

A new and improved beginning for the Virgo New Moon

by Lynn Hayes.  At the New Moon the energy of the Sun and Moon unite in a burst of enthusiasm, and each month as the New Moon progresses through the signs we have an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the principles of each sign in sequence.  This year’s Virgo New Moon takes place September 6 at 8:51 pm Eastern time, taking us from the Leo quest for personal satisfaction to a renewed desire to serve and perfect the human experience.  Under Virgo’s vision we are able to see where various aspects of our lives and the lives of others can be improved and sometimes, Virgo can help us to make those improvements in a practical way that has a lasting effect.

With both the Sun and Moon aligned in Virgo, the way to improvement and renewed focus is clear.  Virgo doesn’t get attached to the ego gratification of certain tasks – it’s more about what works, and what will be effective.  Virgo tends to be cautious and perhaps a bit fearful until the steps that point the way forward are made evident, so this may be more of a time of planning than for direct action.

Many of my clients feel very stuck right now.  Some were stuck before the pandemic, and with renewed fears of virus spread there’s a general sense of frustration at the continued limitations imposed on us right now whether willingly or not.  This feeling has a lot to do with the Saturn/Uranus square which is at work in 2021, forcing us to face the limits (Saturn) of liberation (Uranus) and the rebellion (Uranus) against repression (Saturn).

In any case, under Virgo’s influence we can more easily craft a plan to help us to emerge […]

7.22.21 – A choice with Venus opposite Jupiter, and the Sun enters Leo

artist unknown

Venus and Jupiter are both very beneficial planets, so even the stressful aspects are not too bad.  Today Venus, newly in Virgo, is opposite Jupiter which is at zero degrees Pisces as it retrogrades back into Aquarius.  Venus moving ahead, Jupiter covering old territory.  There is a sense here of an opening which comes at the expense of something which is lost – but in any case, this aspect denotes excess of some kind.  It’s difficult to think about excess when we’re talking about Venus in Virgo, but as Jupiter in Pisces is expanding beyond what we thought possible, Jupiter is attempting to hold back the tide.  Too much of a good thing.

The Sun enters Leo at 10:26 am, shifting the conversation from family and tribe to the Self.  What’s good for ME is what is highlighted later today.  That will make the Venus/Jupiter choices more difficult (because with oppositions there is often a choice).  Venus wants to serve others, but here comes the Sun and shines the light of joy and radiance on us, causing us to forget for just a moment.  Today is a good day to make it a point to find balance between what will make us happy and joyful (Leo Sun) and how to balance the ideal of freedom (Jupiter) with a humbler viewpoint (Venus in Virgo). ❤️
