We get a chance for a new chapter, a new earnest effort under Friday’s new Moon in Virgo, conjunct Venus and Mars, trine change-inducing Uranus. While the mood can feel curious, industrious, if a bit brittle and sensitized, we can clearly see the changes that need to be made for our health and for the health of our ecosystem and society.

Though we may notice an existential nervy anxiety, listen to the worried litany it whispers, and think that this nervous energy is all about some personal event. We do need to pay attention to that voice but don’t need to let it run the show; just because it’s neurotic, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. We may need to pay attention to some concern or danger, but if we feel a big charge behind this worry, maybe we’ve tapped into that free-floating existential Virgoan worry, and blown it out of proportion. Get more facts.

Through this weekend we get clear about what we need to cut out, what we need to fertilize, and what we need to shift. Now we need the guts and fury to get started. Virgo asks us to sweat the details, and let a big philosophical decision inspire both large and incremental changes. Start with Labor Day weekend home-improvement chores, and work out from there.

As the weekend begins, Uranus loans us hope for fresh opportunity, but our minds may need to run through worst-case scenarios first. Get excited about possibilities at work. Look for small chores that help big pieces fall into place.
