Sweeping Away the Cobwebs: New Moon in Virgo

The new moon August 30 (5:37am) starts with 5 planets in Virgo!  The art of organization and categorization is thematic of this new moon.  What could stand to be improved by tidying up?  What foods and habits, when assimilated, assist health and wellbeing?  As summer harvest is reaped, using discernment helps to cut the wheat from the chaff.  It may be a time to nerd out to trivia or categorize the junk drawer.  Yet, as the moon waxes over the next 2 weeks, a changeable mercurialness trickles in, asking for adjustability and adaptability.  Creative juices flow at high levels!

8 planets reside in earth as Mercury, Sun, Moon, Mars, and Venus move quickly through the sign of Virgo.  The practical and measurable aspects of life are of focus.  How can innovation be used with a rule-bound approach and infused with new systems of organization?  Developments in technology, such as in farming, green energy and healthcare are highlighted.  How can designs be improved and transferred from the mind into the physical world?  What genius ideas are ready to be made real?  What design flaws need correcting?

Inferiority complexes and insecurities about measuring up may arise.  Anxious nerves can be channeled toward productivity.  How can finicky worry be directed toward perfecting that art project, new work endeavor or health regime?  The inner critic, directed toward the self or the outside world, gets louder.  How can criticisms be useful in fixing problems and making it work more smoothly?
