Good Day!
Yesterday with the New Moon in Leo, we talked about picking a new project, an audacious project to develop during the coming month. Did you pick yours? If not, later in this post I’ll give you some hints as to where to look.
Today the Moon progresses into the sign Virgo, continuing the emergence of the new inspiration born at the New Moon. With the Virgo energy we can begin the transformation of our bold idea into a solid, useful product. How? Using the Virgo traits of analysis, practicality, and an orientation toward service. The seed that sprouted at the New Moon just begins to take shape today and in order to continue to grow it needs the detailed planning that only the Virgo energy can bring. It needs the systems orientation and the love of craftsmanship and simplicity. It needs an organized approach.
The Virgo Moon also joins Mercury in Virgo today. This is excellent for getting a plan or drawing down on paper; the beginning of a chronicle of your process to refer to and expand as the project unfolds over the next month. This planning process will help you to recognize the resources and tools you will need to pull it off. A cash flow projection will help you to recognize whether you have adequate cash on hand or whether you need to tap other sources of funds. And a project budget will reveal the total costs involved.
This is the kind of analysis that Virgo loves, things with initials like ROI and EBT. Today is the perfect day to get your project plan in writing. You can do it yourself or bring your team in to help, pulling the pieces together over the next couple of days while the Moon is in Virgo. The Virgo energy will give you excellent attention to detail so that as the month ahead unfolds you’ll have a firm foundation on which to build your work and delegate assignments, knowing you’ve considered every angle right from the start. And if you realize you missed something as you go along, add it to the plan so it’s in place next time you begin a new project.
Hints for your new project
In case you didn’t catch your next project idea, here are some hints based on where the New Moon in Leo emerged in your chart. The New Moon was at 17 degrees of Leo on Monday night. Simply look at your natal chart or the chart of your business for the house that contains 17 degrees of Leo and read the hints for that house below. See if these keywords spark the new idea that’s waiting to be discovered. If you don’t have your birthchart, see the sidebar for how to request one from this site.

Wow! This list of the houses is a great one. The current Leo new moon is not in my 12th house however I read “trends” under 12th house and am curious about that. Would love it if you’d care to talk about how trends fit in with the 12th house…. primordial pool of creativity, perhaps? Thanks Ellen.

Hi, Diane. Yes, I like that “primordial pool of creativity.” I think of the 12th house as the house of the annihilation of the feeling of separateness, where we learn that we are part of the all of everything, just before we individuate again in the first house. Part of recognizing our oneness with others is in the trends that sweep through our world, when we all adopt blue jeans, or when our entire generation gets tattoos, or when the entire world adopts a superstar like Madonna or Jackie Chan. So recognizing the current trends and jumping on that bandwagon is what I was referring to if the New Moon was in the 12th house. Love, Ellen

Beautiful explanation, thank you for your response Ellen. Okay, with all my 12th house stuff, I’m ready for Yogastrology to *be* the new trend that “sweeps through our world” (uh oh… be careful what you want, right?) Sending love to you in El Paso.

you need to look past each others faltus. I also read that living a simple and sensible life is the virgo motto. Which brings me to another point maybe you’ve let yourself go. I’m not trying to put you down, but if he’s not attracted to you to the point he has been pleasuring himself. Then you need to do significant things to show him you are still interested. The stars don’t lie! If it’s possible then you need to remember why you wanted to be with one another in the first place. Lastly you need not to take the vows you promised each other and god lightly. Read Corintheians and what Love truly means. Good luck with everything.
