August 27, 2022: New Moon in Virgo — Ruby Slipper Astrology

The new moon in Virgo (4 degrees, 4:17 a.m. EDT) is a fresh start where you can heal, clean up, upgrade. But it squares Mars in Gemini (3 degrees) so there will be worry of getting things “perfect” or anger because it is not being done correctly. Efforts to move forward may start/stop as you are faced with extra duties and scattered focus. It can be jarring to serve someone who doesn’t deserve your help or the efforts to force your vision of chastity.

There will be a ton of inspiration but it’s easy to get carried away with worries and attention to the wrong details. You Won’t Get It Right- This is never good for a Virgo so aim your best instead of being blameless. Focus on one option – prioritize so that you can proceed on one path rather than making a false start in more than one direction. Virgo and Gemini are mutable signs so use the flexibility to turn anxious energy into constructive work.

Adding to the tension we have Venus in Leo square and Uranus Rx in Taurus (18 degrees). It’s impatience with what you have (more attention/fun/romance desired) or a surprising event in a relationship/financial matter. Some want their freedom. A source of income is interrupted or redirected.

What you have/own/love will be shaken and it can be a wake-up call, especially if you are not getting the praise you deserve. But beware of risks in the form of big expenses, questionable investments or attention-grabbing displays that end up breaking something.

So this new moon will surround a sudden crisis in Venus’s affairs, and you can use that Virgo energy to make things better as you start anew. But the fast, impatient vibe can lead you to make choices driven by anger or frustration. Pause before working. Take stock of what you have and what you want. Yes it’s time to try something new but look at it from the perspective of improvement (Including recognizing what can’t be fixed- don’t waste your time with someone who ignores you or someone who doesn’t want your help).

Chiron Rx in Aries Ceres in Leo (15 degrees) for a little encouragement – healing is available, no matter what. Embracing the wound includes pride, talent, and recognition of what is special. Suffering happens, but the fire of creation and self-acceptance intensifies when pain is integrated. Maybe you have the form of a warm, powerful mom on hand to help you out. Or, maybe you’re a powerful person where you feel vulnerable or are deeply motivated by your empathy and encouragement for someone else’s wounds. This empathy supports without repressing and does not sacrifice personal pride or ambition for someone who is hurting—you can acknowledge their pain without adding to your pain.

You have the tools to deal with it – Virgo is practical, specialized knowledge. You can and will improve it because you target exactly what is ready to improve while leaving the rest.
