Hello! Welcome to my blog!
My name is Carol Taglia and, well, this is my first post! I have created this blog to share with you my studies on current astrological energies. Before I start, I would like to give you some explanations.
Explanations
The focus of these studies are on individuals. There are several astrologers who share good studies on world astrology. This blog was designed to serve soul purposes, to help you develop self-knowledge and apply this knowledge in your life.
Also, I want to share with you my perceptions on how souls react to astrological energies and how we can work with them to grow spiritually.
These studies are divided into lunar cycles. The moon is the most active astrological factor and it represents moods and perceptions that are constantly changing. Still, each lunar cycle carries a lesson that feels like a step ahead, one more degree fulfilled in a longer human journey. By analysing the cycle of the moon in each sign I am trying to grasp on these small yet important lessons that each cycle has to offer for our spiritual evolution.
The posts are better explained in the videos I share on my YouTube channel, so you can go there for some spiritual entertainment ;-)
So…
A new moon represents beginnings and creative energy, but it is fed by the energies of the last cycle. For this new moon in Virgo, we are being fed by the energies that culminated in the last Aquarius full moon, on August 22nd. That full moon was aligned with Jupiter, potentializing the progressive and innovative energies of Aquarius.
We had a great opportunity to understand matters from a broader perspective, considering other people's needs besides our own and finding new solutions for old problems. We also had a great opportunity to reach out for decisive choices that can impact our lives very positively. But we needed to be aware of ourselves, aware of who we really are and who we want to be. Only by knowing who we truly are we can know where we truly belong, which people are in resonance with us so we can feel more secure to be our authentic selves.
So, this has been a time to be more conscious of self and others. And this consciousness is leading us to make corrections and heal what has been wounded.

This is a time to start making important adjustments. A time to start to fix things, heal wounds and take care of the details before we continue. Coming to the middle of Virgo path, at nearly 15°, we have reached a point of decisive actions. What we do now will have a great impact in our future. We have been given the chance to apply what we have learned and to make it functional in our lives. By doing so, we are also healing our souls, perhaps even healing generations that came before us. We have now the potential to apply new solutions to old problems, but we will have to close some doors.
It’s worth knowing that all the “big ones” (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are in retrograde motion, which is like a decelerator influence, giving us more time to manage the energies.

We should study all our steps. Virgo energy wants us to be analytic, logical and above all, practical. This is an invitation to start something that really works, something that is functional. Let’s work with what we have right now, step by step, day by day, until we master it! It is time though, to take it to another level. Uranus energy wants us to be inventive and find new solutions to old problems. It is not the time to be too attached, because change is inherent to progress.
The past is gone. What we are starting to create now is what really matters. This is a time of letting go and letting be. The past is like the old leaf that falls to nurture the future tree. But we must embrace the end so it doesn’t become a ghost. We can be deluded and, even worse, be made a fool of by others who take advantage of our attachments. Reality is here and now! We should deal with it, no matter how difficult it is. Don’t let yourself be trapped in escapism and avoidance. Let’s just inhale these very potent Virgo energies to help us have more clarity to make intelligent adjustments.
This is also a time to build our dreams. Some dreams are only illusions, but know that there are dreams that can be truly accomplished if we make a commitment. These energies can help us in taking care of every little step, every daily effort, so we can achieve our goals.

If delusion is dealt with, then self-empowerment results. All lies, mistakes and misunderstandings can be dissipated so the naked truth can be seen. But we should be very aware of it. Don’t lie to yourself! We need to take action to correct what has been done wrong. We need to be aware of forces trying to hold us back, sabotage our plans and even erase our consciousness. Things can be taken away and things can be lost. Let’s be present, vigilant and careful with what is important to us. Be aware that you do have the power to protect your energies and transform your reality after all.

Being passive or indecisive can be self destructive now. Don’t let others tell you what to do, and don’t try to tell others what to do either. We must know that our relationship, negotiation, contract, partnership, or any other dichotomy we may have to deal with needs to be balanced and fair. Both sides need to be honoured. This will certainly be good for all involved, and for life to continue in progress. This balancing of energies will help in clarifying the reasons behind the issues concerned. It will offer important lessons for future relationships and partnerships.

Justice and balance for both sides can be discussed with a real concern for the responsibility involved for each. There has to be maturity in decision making. Do we want to make progress or not? Are we ready to move or not? We will have to do so taking all the responsibility for our choices and facing all consequences too. This is a time for a reality check. But don’t forget that, above all, we should be at peace with ourselves.
First Quarter in Sagittarius
The first quarter of the moon, in Sagittarius, will stimulate growth in awareness and broader perspectives. Shedding light upon details and practical matters will allow illusions and lies to dissipate. Go for the proof, don’t just believe! The essential truth can be revealed then, to be transformed. Remember that values and relationships are under a reality check now and responsibility is demanded. Still, we should keep our words gentle and harmonizing, even if we feel the need to point fingers.

Let’s just observe our thoughts and emotional reactions. We will be able to see it clearer now and have the opportunity to understand how we may be projecting our traumas on our relationships. Sometimes we project on others a feeling we have for someone else, especially a parent, so we can deal with it when we just can't do it directly with that person. Now we can take these projections back because we don’t really need them anymore (or some of them). It is the end of the "game" here and it is time to move on with everything we have healed.
We are definitely being offered a time of balance and peace, but there is still release we have to do. We want to make sure that we are not carrying old traumas anymore. We are ending a long process of healing and being offered a chance to transform deeply. But we have to really take care of ourselves so that healing and transformation can happen.
The main theme here is the balance we can create by being very careful in our actions, being considerate of other people’s needs without being led by them or by the circumstances. It is very important to know where we stand, so we don’t get lost in sensitivities, escapisms and projections. It is also important to know where others stand.
This is a time to trust new beginnings and be open! But moderation is needed in order to make it consistent.

We need to transform our mentality and speech, if we are only trying to please others. This is a time to be gentle but not self sacrificing. There can be a pressure to agree with things that one doesn't really agree with. But one should never be silent about it.
This is not a time to keep things as they are only because we feel pressured to do it. We should be aware that things must change and they will, if we allow innovations to come in.
We have the ability now to see things from a broader perspective and negotiate with others to find a solution that is good for both sides.

Values and relationships are changing during this period and these changes will affect years to come. But it will feel uncomfortable, because we will have to face our so-called “shadow self”. We all have to face certain truths about ourselves that we would rather avoid. This could be a fear, a bad feeling, a hidden motivation, or even cruelty. Still, by not facing these traits inside us, we keep feeding them unconsciously and they continue to dominate us. This is not a time to avoid your darkness, but try to transform it into light, into positive traits. But first, you need to recognize it by having a sincere look in the mirror. And the mirror might be a specific relationship that has got to change deeply or just end, as a result of your inner confrontations.
We can also have great upheavals in our sense of security and this can affect our material resources. But we should be aware that whatever is coming our way is a result of our own transformational process.
Last Quarter in Cancer
The last quarter of the moon, in Cancer, will stimulate reclusion. Mercury will be retrograde for the third time in the year, in the last degrees of Libra, which will give us an extended pause. This is a time to be silent and introspective. We are not trying to convince others, we don’t need to argue or prove ourselves anymore. If we have done our work, we will have gently stood our ground. Now we just need to feel at home, comfortable in our space and skin, so we can process our feelings. We are changing, adapting and detaching from the past. We need to prepare ourselves emotionally for the new cycle, when we will have a chance to access new potentials in our relationships and partnerships. But that’s a theme for the next lunar cycle, in Libra.
