In this installment of our monthly salons on the New Moon, Salome’s resident astrologer, Carol Ferris, will offer insights into the astrology of the month ahead.
In September, the New Moon is in Virgo:
“For I am the first and the last/I am the honoured one and the scorned one/I am the whore and the holy one/I am the wife and the virgin/I am the mother and the daughter.”
- “The Thunder, Perfect Mind” from The Nag Hammadi Library, translated by George W. MacRae
With the New Moon in Virgo, the days grow shorter and nature bends her attention, with some urgency, to the gathering up of all that has been generated in the season before. Virgo, the only feminine zodiac sign in Western astrology, carries a sheaf of wheat (the star Spica) and shoulders a cluster of grapes (the star Vindemiatrix). She reminds humans of harvest and the need to prepare for winter. What, in this new moon, anticipating the inward turn of time, shall we focus on? How can we ready ourselves for times of darkness?
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences.

About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
