The mental clean up crew is arriving with the Virgo New Moon. It’s the first lunation after eclipse season, and brings a well-timed “Let’s do something about this” vibe to the aftermath.

We’re only in the earliest moments of coming to grips with what the eclipses brought and what they mean, a process that’ll roll out for months. Some of us haven’t had the energy to face up to that yet, but that’s becoming more and more possible with distance from the eclipses. This moon is moving us toward that, and it comes with appealing motivation as well.

New starts and next stages in this sign have a strong mental element, from the sign’s ruler Mercury. In earthy Virgo he fosters practical ideas, rational thought and discerning evaluation. No same time this year vibe at all; whatever mental seeds we’re contemplating are decidedly veering from previous norms and taking the past few months into account.

Innovation is in the air this Virgo season, with Mercury newly in Libra and moving into an air grand trine with change agents Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. Mercury in this sign encourages polite exchanges, taking others into account, and angling for conciliation and bridge building – a more graceful (and indirect) approach to communication than Virgo’s no nonsense, to the point methods.

Mercury’s ways are in for massive reshaping as this Moon builds, since the air grand trine is unleashing a flurry of shifts in alliances, renegotiated agreements and wildly different connections and ground rules. They sizzle with tension between conscious thought and innate knowing, between intellect and faith – counterparts to the earthly reason of Virgo’s domain, and the fallout from Mercury’s opposition to Neptune.

A drive to get going is built into the event, thanks to the Moon’s sextile to Mars in Cancer. The link also offers the prospect of a different form of expression, with the potential to soften and humanize New Moon intentions. It imbues them with motivation to protect our families and home bases and to channel action through nurturing, caring or emotional approaches. The link opens a pathway to emotional substance, adding sensitivity to the logic and practicality of Virgo’s ideas.

Those characteristics are getting dampened by other considerations as well. Intense reminders of costs and desires are bubbling under the Moon. Venus has just entered Scorpio, where she will retrograde at the start of October, and is stirring deep passions and impulses, some of which are far less polite than Mercury in Libra comfortably openly acknowledges. They’re coursing through our beings, our subconsciouses and our very cells.

One of the topics she’s stirring is paranoia about or distrust of the economy, heightened by her opposition to Chiron in Taurus. The aspect also challenges food safety and supply chains, not to mention body image issues. Watch for matters involving sexuality, crimes and bodily autonomy to surface in the news or public discourse (increasingly as she heads into her retrograde) – and for the Virgo New Moon to engender conversations and plans for addressing and cleaning them up.

Plans are, in fact, all over this Moon. Look for conversations and data that bear on the rewiring and eclipses of the past few months, and that lead to novel or unprecedented approaches and solutions. Make checklists and to-do lists. And then start working through them.
