The New Moon occurs at 16:50 BST / 11:50 EDT on October 10, in Hasta, the lunar mansion of sidereal Virgo, meaning ‘hand’, associated with skill, dexterity, and precision. This New Moon offers an opportunity to refine certain areas of life.
Saturn’s opposition to the New Moon brings a more sobering atmosphere, encouraging quiet reflection rather than excessive activity. All New Moons benefit from a slower pace, allowing time to reassess priorities before the Moon begins to wax again.
Rather than exhausting yourself trying to accomplish everything now, recognise when to act and when to slow down. Virgo may prefer to perfect every detail, but knowing when to ‘make do’ is equally important. With Saturn and Neptune continuing through Pisces, there are limits to what can be known or resolved at present.
This New Moon also marks the beginning of Navarātri, the ‘nine nights’ celebrating Durgā’s battle with the demon Mahiṣāsura. Her eventual victory symbolises the awakening of consciousness and the triumph of awareness over ignorance.
Refine what you can, release what you cannot control, and recognise that true clarity comes as much from stillness as from action.
