New Moon Meaning

You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress.

New Moon September 2020 Astrology

The September 17 new moon at 25°00′ Virgo makes a harmonious trine aspect to Saturn and a stressful quincunx aspect to Mars. These two aspects are linked by Mars square Saturn, indicating frustration and inhibition.

The delays and restrictions caused by Mars square Saturn are a long term issue because of Mars retrograde. It stays within a three-degree orb from August 15 to October 9.

These three aspects combine to form an aspect pattern called a dominant triangle. It represents a crisis related to problems of growth that affects all areas of life.

New Moon Aspects

Mars square Saturn brings frustration and inhibition. Your desires and needs may grow stronger, yet you may find it harder to express your passions and succeed. The harder you pursue your goals, the more resistance you are likely to face. Authority figures may restrict your ambitions. It may be that general circumstances prevent your progress.

The best approach now is a defensive one. Instead of starting new projects or hunting down your desires, it is better to concentrate on holding onto what you already have. This is a good time to sharpen knives and strengthen your defenses. Patience and plodding hard work will get you there.

New Moon quincunx Mars creates an imbalance between your intentions and your actions, or between your goals and the actions of others. This leads to irritation and anger that can boil over into impulsive actions or temper tantrums.

The build-up of frustration and resentment caused by Mars square Saturn increases the level of irritation and increases the risk of reckless actions that could harm you and others.

Once conscious awareness of the competing energies is realized then the initial irritation caused can be channeled into fulfillment from helping other people. This is a karmic aspect that sometimes relates to past experiences in war or sex which is relieved by balancing personal desires and selfless service.

New Moon trine Saturn makes you serious, responsible, practical, and respectful. With an orb of only 0°26′, this steadying and grounding influence is much stronger than either Mars square Saturn or new moon quincunx Mars.

This means the initial crises or problems associated with Mars square Saturn will most likely be resolved in a productive and efficient way. A strong work ethic and determination to help you focus on achieving your long-term goals. The resulting state of harmony should lead to achievement, recognition, satisfaction, contentment, and higher self-esteem.

“The rotation direction is an important feature in the evaluation of the Dominant triangle. It is given by the color order red to green to blue.” [1] For the September 17 new moon, this is anticlockwise, in the same direction to the zodiac.

This is a Cognition Triangle. It means discoveries can be made rapidly because it provides the necessary insights when crises appear. The task to be learned is understood and intelligence is used to find a solution. With time, you learn how to control and accelerate the process. An active, positive attitude towards the theme makes it easier to resolve.

This is in contrast to the previous new moon on August 18. The same planets were involved to make the dominant triangle, but the rotational direction was anticlockwise.

So for the previous four weeks, many experiences were required to achieve the necessary learning and development. It was harder and took longer to adapt to a more deep-seated problem than this September new moon. The growth and transformation process was slower but more profound.

New Moon September 2020

24 ♍ 26 – ν Virginis in the Head
24 ♍ 50 – α Canum Venaticorum, Cor Caroli
25 ♍ 00 – New Moon September 2020
25 ♍ 24 – M51 Canum Venaticorum, Copula

Constellation Canes Venatici the Hunting Dogs gives a love of hunting and a penetrating mind, making those born under it faithful, keen, clever, and fond of speculation. [2]

Fixed star Cor Caroli in the southern hound of the Hunting Dogs signifies great respect given for services well given. [3] It has a most beneficial reputation as regards the heads of state. [4]

Fixed star Copula (the Whirlpool Galaxy) causes blindness, defective eyesight, strong passions, hindrances, and disappointments. [2] Its reputation in astrology is not very auspicious. Copula often signifies the potential for taking public office, but there is certainly a note of misfortune if the holder tries to make a quick personal fortune from it. Nothing in Virgo permits that kind of corruption without penalty. [3]

Nu Virginis is located in the head of the Virgin. According to Ptolemy, the stars in the head of Virgo operate like Mercury and somewhat like Mars (exaggerative, argumentative, unreliable, unscrupulous, given to invective, mechanical ability, very quick mind, a great talker.) [2]

  1. Nodal axis, the story of the South Titan moving to the North Seeker. Don’t be frustrated at your effort at expansion, approval or acceptance . You are not unworthy. Resist withdrawing or questioning impulses or intuition. Find the microcosm in the macrocosm of life. Focus your talents now. Carry that giant solution to the way of the Original, the winter solstice alignment.

  2. Another good analysis, Jamie, thank you.
    This New Moon falls on my natal Jupiter. Venus is on my Sun/Pluto con & Neptune is about 3 degrees from my IC.
    The picture in the sky is a good reflection of what’s going on in my life. I just hope Jupiter doesn’t escalate or inflate something beyond bearing.

  3. You seem to be suggesting that the new moons of August and September are different in direction, but you use the same word, anticlockwise, for both.

  4. “The blue trine aspect is the desired state of harmony that comes from creative problem-solving. Ego transformation results in a more dominant and influential personality. New Moon trine Saturn”

    My 19 year old Heliocentric Jupiter-Saturn conceived daughter has this aspect. Natal Moon 25°Virgo, with her Saturn conj Algol. I am too, conceived at a heliocentric Jupiter-Saturn conjunction 39 years before. This is the ultimate proof of the art. There has been a parade of events and utterances by all parties and individuals over the last year or so, and going way back to the invention of language itself. But now we need the deal made. The Closer comes in. There is only one Closer. There is nothing in it for him on this planet. He has made a vow of poverty, donated his art, and will disappear into the mist soon.

  5. Hi Jamie! On 17/9/20- New Moon,you have written-Problem Solved!!But, I’m not getting your point.How can you tell that problem will be solved.
    Problem is not solved so far.

    I believe you and your dedication in astrology.Awesome.

    “” But I will tell you IN ADVANCE-AT WHAT TIME-Month/Day/Hour/Minutes & Seconds,the prolonged non-stoppable Problem will be SOLVED!!.”” No ONE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!!

    Love & Regards !

  6. Strong emphasis on Problem Solving along the Pisces-Virgo axis. A lunar North Node placement in Virgo in the mid degrees, will purpose you to solve many problems. They make great employees. The South Node in Pisces is a dedication to service. As the energy facilitates during the life, along this axis, these two themes play out. The problem in astrologyking forums are posts that have no astrology, as well as prank posts, which crop up, from time to time.

  7. The Art Basel Banana “Comedian” combined 390,000$USD was a very kind gesture, to make it a little more plane, the 39 year period between the two Jupiter-Saturn Heliocentric conjunctions. This is a family planning feature of the artwork: Written in the stars, the solution. Astute observers of the Art(ist) discovered this, before I wrote about the connection on the Jupiter-Saturn thread.
