New Moon on Monday Astrology

23 August 2011

The Sun moved into VIRGO at 4:21 am (pacific daylight time). 

Virgo is the sign of the Virgin.  Virgo likes things clean and pure and orderly.  Ruled by Mercury, Virgo is all about systems and methods and consistency.  Virgo happens as the summer is giving way to the fall - it’s the Mutable Earth sign.  Virgo is Back to School season, it’s clean notebooks,  fresh intentions and plenty of ink.   

Virgo is the sixth sign and it’s associated with the 6th House of Work, Health and Service.  Virgo can be a clean freak, Virgo likes to get things right.  But Virgo’s also always there to lend a helping hand, Virgo always does whatever it can.  

Here are some absolutely oversimplified ways planets might manifest when they fall in Virgo (or the 6th House):

The Sun: Pleasant and polite and perfectionist 

The Moon: Needs Order

Mercury: Carefully placed words

Venus: Natural Beauty

Mars: Methodical Energy

Jupiter: Health Nut

Saturn: Discipline City

*I chose Madonna during her Virgin era to be Virgo the Virgin for the month - even though Madonna herself is totally a Leo.  That said, Madonna has Virgo rising, with the Moon, Mercury, and Pluto also in Virgo.  She’s a great example of a Leo seeking the spotlight in a very methodical way. You can be sure she knows how to find absolutely everything on that cluttered vanity table.
