Mercury Direct + New Moon in Virgo: Problem Solving and Making Plans

The New Moon at 21 Virgo on September 14/15 represents a reboot, though new initiatives may take a little time to get going.

Neptune in Pisces will oppose the New Moon in Virgo, highlighting some confusion or uncertainty. You might feel called to reconnect with a spiritual practice or make more space for your feelings and dreams. This can be so nourishing but might distract you from a pressing task or deadline.

That theme of projects or plans taking time to get started is reinforced by Mercury, the ruler or guide of this New Moon in Virgo.

Mercury will station direct, ending its retrograde on September 15. This is another clue that there may be some delays with acting on any of the fresh plans and new ideas that come through thanks to this analytical New Moon in Virgo.

Mercury is now moving forwards again, and like any planet coming out of a retrograde, will take a few days to get back up to speed.

Patience will pay off through the middle of September.

The New Moon itself might have a messy or befuddled quality, (thanks to that opposition to Neptune in Pisces), but those muddy waters will clear in the days that follow the New Moon, helping you clarify your plans and intentions for the next few weeks.

A Shift for the Second Half of September

This New Moon in Virgo highlights an important transition in the month of September.

The second half of the month has generally more productive themes, thanks to both Mercury and Venus moving forward. The final two weeks of September may bring a resolution to a lingering concern or help you tap into motivation and enthusiasm for your next adventure.
