The New Moon In Virgo Highlights Friction & Constraint In Your Environment
T
he September 2nd new moon in Virgo, which illuminates Gate 40 in Human Design, calls for greater harmony in the presence of force or tension. The new moon asks you to go deeper to witness the crux of friction. Where have you relinquished your power? When are you allowing the outer world to manipulate your inner sanctity? When attuned to your inner guidance system (gut, intuition, emotional compass), a sense of ease ripens and bears fruit. Here, you are in harmony with your environment.
Tension melts away, and you nurture a symbiotic exchange between you and another; that is, the energy you bring encourages an equal exchange with those around you. This new moon is not merely about saying “Yes” to everything and everyone but holding healthy boundaries and giving fully to the situations, people, and projects that are in alignment with your Truth.
What Can Human Design Tell Us About The New Moon?
The activation of a particular Human Design gate (by way of the moon, in this case) unlocks a specific facet of individual and collective consciousness. Much like the energy of an astrological sign (i.e., Virgo), this allows for the heightened exploration of respective themes when at the forefront of a celestial event. A gate acts as a portal to your inner world.
This facet of consciousness concerns your relationship to your internal energy and the greater energy of all that surrounds you. The repressive manifestations of the shadow, or challenge, present as a denial of power, victim mentality, and a lack of boundaries, while the reactive state swings in the opposite direction, resulting in a show of dominance and overcompensation. In either case, an energetic tension takes place between you and your environment.

Where Are You Playing It Safe?
The Virgo new moon is also colored by Pluto’s backslide into Capricorn, on September 1 or 2, which widens the scope of our moon-led internal dialogue to include societal expectations, foundational beliefs, and our larger, shared reality. Consider when the collective dictates your belief system without you even knowing it. Uranus begins its retrograde expedition in Taurus on September 1, urging us to look at where we’re playing it safe and choosing a predictable path at the expense of our liberation. Reflect on where you are buying into the illusion of safety. Mars in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces, highlighting the conflict between what makes us feel truly alive and the wounds from our past that keep us stuck in cycles of constriction. Acknowledge how you can make peace with the past and greet your authentic self beyond the pain.
