The Planetary outlook
Virgo New Moon
September 20, 2017
Septembers New Moon is at 27 degrees of Virgo and is joined by Mercury, Mars, and Venus in this sign as well. Virgo is the sign of work, social servants, public health, and animals. This tends to be a busy time for people as they are working towards preparing for the change in seasons. Most of us are not even aware that we participate in these cycles. In the Northern Hemisphere it is the end of the season and we are scurrying along to prepare for fall and finish up any projects we started in the spring. In the Southern Hemisphere it is spring and is the time to begin projects around the house and yard.
The New Moon is in almost an exact inconjunct aspect to the planet Uranus in Aries. Inconjunct aspects to the New Moon indicate sudden unexpected events and disruptions that require us to make adjustments in our daily routine.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury so we look to the aspects that transiting Mercury is making the other planets to garner more information. Mercury is in almost exact opposition with Neptune indicating confusion, miscommunication, and deception. Mercury is still within orb of being in conjunction with Mars so heated words are still at play during this Lunar Cycle.
Using an Aries house system we look at the Global Population as a whole and with Virgo ruling public health and Mercury the ruler of Virgo in opposition to Neptune which rules diseases it does give concern for a public health crisis during this Lunar Cycle. Aspects from the 1st to the 6th in an individuals natal chart indicates health issues. So we have the New Moon in Virgo which rules the 6th house (public health, transportation) inconjunct Uranus (sudden events) in Aries which rules the 1st house (the common people), Mercury in Virgo (public health, transportation) in opposition to Neptune in Pisces (diseases, water, gas, oil) and Mars in Virgo (public health, transportation) approaching an exact opposition to Neptune in Pisces (diseases, water, gas, oil). Three times in this chart it shows a public crisis due to disease, contaminated water, problems with gas and/or oil as well as transportation.
Update
As Predicted
As predicted there would be a health crisis in regards to public health. In Madagascar 24 people have died and more than 130 people have been infected as October 4, 2017. The disease is spreading rapidly throughout the country.
In Puerto Rico there is a public crisis due to Maria which hit on September 20, 2017. They are having problems with getting water, food, and goods due to transportation issues.
To discover where this event is likely to occur on the planet you would have to cast charts for every country and city. I went through many charts of different countries and obviously can't go through them all. I came up with a list that this New Moon is impacting.
France
New Moon is in the 8th house which rules transformation, taxes, insurance, debt, and with it conjunct the natal Sun of France a possible passing of a significant figure in the country.
Does not fit the signature of a public crisis.
Japan
New Moon is in the 1st house of the people inconjunct transiting Uranus/Natal Jupiter. Jupiter rules the 4th house which is the land and peoples homes in Japan. This New Moon is also inconjunct Japan's natal north node in the 6th house of military and public health. Natal Mercury is in an inconjunct aspect the transiting Mercury/Mars conjunction. This does fit the signature of a public crisis somewhat and in light of the fact that they have a typhoon headed their way and the North Korean Leader making threats to their country it comes as no surprise that their mundane chart shows stress.
Lebanon
The New Moon is in the 7th house conjunct the natal Moon which indicates the people of Lebanon are affected by this Lunar Cycle. It is inconjunct transiting Uranus in the 2nd house of money and square the natal Saturn in the 4th house of land and home. This appears that the cost of housing is high compared to income but does not fit the signature of a public crisis.
Mexico
The New Moon is in the 6th house of public health inconjunct Uranus in the 1st house of the people conjunct the natal Saturn/Jupiter conjunction. The natal conjunction of Saturn/Jupiter was activated by the August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse. Mexico had an 8.2 earthquake on September 7, 2017 as the Mercury/Mars conjunction passed over the Solar Eclipse Degree and at the time of this writing on September 14, 2017 Mexico was just hit by a category 1 hurricane as the Mercury/Mars conjunction transited the North Node of the Mexico Mundane Chart. There is a tropical storm brewing that is expected to reach hurricane strength and hit Mexico along the Baja by Monday. On Monday the Moon will join the Mercury/Mars conjunction and oppose Neptune just prior to the New Moon.
The New Moon will oppose the natal Pluto and square natal Uranus indicating wide spread disasters in the country. With the New Moon inconjunct natal Saturn in the 1st house of the people which rules the 10th house of the Government and President of the country it indicates having to deal with a national public crisis.
Update
As Predicted
As predicted on September 19, 2017 just hours before the New Moon Mexico was hit by a 7.1 earthquake. The death toll was 369 and 6,011 people were injured.
Qatar
The New Moon is in the 4th house of the people and land in an exact conjunction to natal Pluto which rules transformation. It is inconjunct to transiting Uranus in the 11th house of allies, desires, and parts of the government. This doesn't fit the public crisis signature, it is an indication of adjustments having to be made in regards to the aims of the nation due to unexpected changes with allies.
UK
The New Moon is in the 3rd house of transportation and communication with transiting Uranus (unexpected events) in the 10th house (government). Transiting Uranus (explosives) in Aries (violence) is in an opposition to the 4th house Moon (the people, land). Transiting Mercury/Mars (transportation/accidents) conjunction is in the 3rd house (transportation, communication) in an opposition to transiting Neptune (chaos, secrets) conjunct natal Uranus in the 9th house (foreigners, immigration). Transiting Mars (violence) is in an exact inconjunct aspect to natal Mercury (communication,transportation). In the UK mundane chart Mercury rules the 12th house of secret enemies. This does show a public crisis signature in regards to acts of violence being perpetrated through means of transportation. The New Moon is in an approaching conjunction with Natal Saturn/IC so I would expect the government to make adjustments to the policing of activities in regards to transportation. On the 28th of September Mercury will activate the New Moon position, so the 27-30 of September are days to take precautions if you are traveling to or from or live in the UK.
USA
The New Moon is in the 11th house (aims, legislation, allies) inconjunct Uranus in the 6th house (common people, civil servants, military). It is also in a separating inconjunct aspect the the natal Moon (people, land) in the 4th house (home). When the New Moon is making a separating aspect to a natal planet it indicates that the event has already taken place and the need to deal with it will be the work of this Lunar Cycle. If you follow my blog you will remember that I forecast another disaster on the horizon predicted by September Last Quarter Moon. I stated that the tension with North Korea would escalate which it has and I expect that to continue. We also have hurricane Jose threatening the East Coast of the US. As the transiting Mercury/Mars conjunction squares (16th-18th) the US natal Uranus I expect both of these issues to be in the headlines and on people's minds. Update
As Predicted
October
17
United
Nations - North Korea's deputy UN ambassador warned on Monday that
the situation on the Korean peninsula "has reached the
touch-and-go point and a nuclear war may break out any moment".
October
19
North
Korea on Thursday strongly condemned naval maneuvers that the US is
presently carrying out with South Korea on the peninsula, and
threatened to launch an "unimaginable strike" against them.
Mercury (communication) the ruler of the New Moon is conjunct Mars (anger) in the 10th house (government) and in a separating square to natal Uranus (unexpected events) in the 8th house (transformation, taxes, insurance). This combination does fit the public crisis signature of the New Moon and indicates harsh words to and from the President by Congress, the Senate, and people in regards to the recent hurricanes and the recovery process. Legislation in regards to insurance and tax reform will also be in the headlines.
