Mabon is the mid-harvest festival, and it is when we take a few moments to honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the second harvest. On or around September 21, for many Pagan and Wiccan traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings.

Our lady begins to grow in the sign of Virgo, September 5 2013. She will stay there until Friday September 6 2013 6:10 am, when she will go void off course until settling into Libra at 3:12 pm in the 1st quarter.
The New Moon is about beginnings and starts … it’s the time to look forward and put new ideas and projects into motion. For September’s new moon, half an hour before she becomes new and half an hour after she has become new is an excellent time to start something important:
New moon in the 4th quarter. A good time to “draw back” to reflect on past events and what has been (or has not been) accomplished. Time to clear the slate and plan for the New Moon stage.
New Moon in the 1st quarter: Our lady becomes visible 5.5 to 12 hours after ‘her birth” (the time she becomes new) she is delicate but strong, eager to start anew almost with the innocence of a babe she wants to begin again and explore all that she can. This is the absolute best time to begin your new projects, especially any projects or ideas that relate to the home and family. Family is anyone you wish to include which for some may be college’s friends, neighbours and co-workers.
When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or someone, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
New moon in Virgo: Virgo is all about detail, which can sometimes incite worry where it’s not needed. If you are beginning a new project, or planning for the future, don’t be too hard on yourself it everything doesn’t seem to be perfect… You will see the flaws that need fixing, but don’t go crazy, sometimes mistakes are necessary :) If you have been wanting to get in shape, or step up your work out routine now is a good time to start, it’s also a good time to begin a diet as our minds wonder to our health and hygiene… Cleaning out that closet or the car may also prove to be fabulous therapy…
Moon in the 12th House: This is the house of fantasy, escape, secrets, hospitals and other institutions. When the new moon visit’s here, she could prompt us towards new solo projects and/or she may help us move towards delving into a new project or situation that previously we may only have dreamed of doing. The beginning of a secret love affair may also be thanks to this new moon, however, you are advised to be careful of what you wish for. If you are feeling creative, go ahead and have some fun, if it’s for a serious project make sure you head isn’t too far into the clouds. Intuition could be bang on now..
This months new moon will have more influence on those with the following:
Moon in Virgo:
Moon in Pisces:
Sun in Virgo:
Moon in the 12th house:
Chart ruler Mercury:
Chart ruler Neptune:
Ascendant in Virgo.
Ascendant in Pisces.
For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times, if this is the case you are advised not to force issues at this time. For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.
A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making things, plans, issues and or situations that happen during an eclipse last longer than usual. Sometime’s it’s unavoidable and plans have to be made, ideas need to be put into motion and there are some people we just can’t get away from or do without…. In these cases patience is strongly advised. Our last Solar Eclipse was on May 9 2013.
