`Aha Update #28 New Moon in Virgo, Mid-night September 19-20, 2017

September’s new moon takes place at 27 degrees, 27 minutes of Virgo around midnight on September 19th/20th.  Notice that all the personal planets are in Virgo, along with the Sun and the Moon.[link to Elsa to see this visually] This is an unusual situation. A new moon in Virgo, energizes it’s ruling planet, Mercury. In this case, Mercury is conjunct Mars. This adds considerable spark to the scenario..."-Elsa

Tides just before New Moon in Virgo, September 19, 2017


Pete and I have an attachment to Mahina the Moon. Being a Cancerian, Pete is 'ruled' by the Moon astrologically and between us Mahina has played a long-term part in saving us or guiding us at key times. I write about this often and leave this post to remain consistent. The New Moon in Virgo is the third New Moon since we began navigating to Elsewhere. New Moons are a good time to set intentions for the next thirty days (month). Taken in a chunk of time like this, life seems a more manageable, imaginable vista.

Elsa Panizzon has been my astrology mainstay since the first days of building Vardo for Two. I value her stick-to-it-ness and make a point of following her New Moon insights. Elsa suggests setting intentions for this Virgo New Moon for Pete's 1st House and my 9th House. (Click here for suggestions for you. Need help determining where the New Moon falls in your chart? Send me an email with your birth info and I'll try to help.)

  • New Moon in the 1st house –  Initiate something Virgoan. Present yourself, ready to help.
  • New Moon in the 9th house – Communicate with people outside your usual circle. Expand!
I see an opportunity and great timing to followup with people in Hawaii who might be our new community. There is work to be done in the next thirty days to clarify who can help over there.

We will go to the Muliwai (Sunlight Beach Public Access) in the early evening (sometime around 6 PM) of Tuesday, September 19th to do our New Moon ceremony of intentions.  We'll bring something warm to drink and maybe a little snack to bless the cool fall evening and send our intentions out with the tide. Please join us if you wish. 

Ceremony is important, and home-made ceremony is one of the best ways to keep the sacred common in the everyday. Whether you join us or not, we'll be the `aha for you, holding space and holding the rope as we continue our journey. 
"We cross borders without regard, ignorant or arrogant of the protocol native to the transitional spaces that take us from this place to that place. Traditions remembered and practiced would maintain and pass along the right things to do, at the right time, and in the right frame of mind. Have we all become wanderers with passports un-stamped with the memory of teachings from the Ancestors and Nature? There are rituals to remember and common magic to induce respect and reverence for the beings and places that share this planet." - Mission Statement for the Safety Pin Cafe
Happy New Moon coming,

xoxo Mokihana and Pete
