My blog article of that story:

What does new moon in Virgo suggest generally?

Sun and Moon's union in Virgo can certainly emphasize the patterns of mental emotions in our bodies, especially since Virgo correlates to the unconscious ‘secondary brain’ of the dense cluster of nerves in the area of the small intestine. At least for the next month or so.

New Moon in practical, earthy Virgo emphasizes the mental processing of what is instinctively important, so that practical solutions are worked out materially, but not necessarily bodily. Those bodily reactions may not be good instincts, but from our own programming due to stored issues we carry. We can also be empowered by the more cautious, deliberative approach taken in introverted, well planned fashion rather than externalizing, manipulating.

Virgo is the body, the unconscious, the mental patterns of contemplation. Maybe we only get the revelation of what has been lying there. Maybe we get together a new plan.

It is also planning, organizing, how we take care of business and look out for the well being of those in our care. It is internal care taking. It is the principle of Mercury as expressed through the mutable, flexible, material earth sign.

The aspects

Sun-Moon opposite Neptune
... trine Pluto
... sextile Jupiter

The first aspect (opposite Neptune) frames potential misunderstanding and the need to keep things open and not presumptuous in the imagined scenarios and emotive reactions. What is practical, doable needs to take precedence for the moment over any notions of wrongs done -- real or imagined.

The second aspect (trine Pluto) shows the potential for more empowered solutions, a more effective effort towards the desired end result. A deeper look will be far more beneficial than strong reaction.

The last aspect (sextile Jupiter) shows the opportunity on the mental plane for wider understanding and generous gestures to help accomplish the potentials of the previous two aspects.

What is the dynamic for you?

It really depends on what is in your own birth chart and how the Sun-Moon paired together aspects its planets. Do you have planets in your birth chart 11-23° of mutable signs? (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) That is where the effect will be more pronounced.

It also depends on what has been happening of late, what is happening now and how we respond to it.

If This Full Moon made a major aspect to your ...

Asc, you can expect at least a day of noticeably increased energy, confidence, but also revelations about what lies within you and reminders of practical, proactive solutions over reactive emotional ones.

Sun, Mars, Jupiter, it offers at least a day of increased energy and confidence to act on objectives, or to get clarity on the issues that should frame those objectives. But if there is drama, what does it say about your part in it? It may reveal any tendencies to over-do or create unnecessary drama. Ego can be emphasized by these aspects and how we behave, our attitudes can reveal where we are with that.

Moon, Venus, Neptune, it offers a moment to get more clarity on personal needs and desires, and whether your routines and habits are in line with them.

Mercury, Uranus, it offers the change to renew your spontaneity and ability to deal with events that diverge from routines or plans; to use intellectual tools and communicate in a more sophisticated way. This may highlight excess activity and restlessness in the nervous system that could be dealt with more effectively. You may also be challenged to break free of the routines just to renew your sensation of being a spontaneous actor.

Saturn, Pluto, it offers a chance to re-evaluate your purposes and objectives and how you are dealing externally or internally with problems and challenges -- but especially emphasizing the inner strength you bring to it.

No, but I have amended the article here since it was poorly written. I've left the personal story at my blog.

"So we will need to channel this intense, penetrating and occasionally ruthless energy into something creative. The artistic products are not going to be light-hearted or bubble-gummy. Instead, the products will have a tinge of the underworld and/or make powerful political statements. Art made at this time will be profound and involve deep exploration of the shadow"

YAY DEATH METAL!!!

"Moon sextile Jupiter is a beautiful blossom of an aspect that seems to breed writers of song or word in particular since Jupiter rules publishing. "

"On the positive side, this period is very useful for artisans and craftspersons for it enables them to produce very fine and detailed works."

"The tarot card that is associated with this new moon September 2018 is the 9 of pentacles which is an extremely positive and successful card and really helps counteract any of the dark edges found in this decan. You could say this card is like a positive Pluto. Wealth! This card is about hard work paying off and prosperity"

"” To say that you have made a success is an understatement, but both you and I know that it was hard-earned. By the way, you have done this almost single-handedly too, with very little input from others. This card can suggest that you have made many sacrifices or denied yourself freedom and spontaneity in order to achieve your goal or dream. "

Yeah, I think driving 400 miles to practices every weekend for the last 6 months paid off ^_^

The whole minor grand trine is a gift for anyone who is out to get work published or sponsored. Anyone who has personal planets at 18º earth signs or water should feel the benefit of this talented aspect. Even 18º mutable signs stand to get some juice out of this well of inspiration. There is something for everyone at this new moon.

Let's see, our drummer has a Pisces moon 24˚
Guitarist / singer has Virgo moon 24˚ and Pisces Jupiter 18˚
Other guitarist has Virgo Moon 15˚ and Virgo SN 23˚, Pisces Venus 25˚ and NN 23˚, Mars 18˚ Sag
I has Sag Sun / Mercury 20˚

Useful healing materials and props: The 9 of pentacles to gaze at, oats to eat, violet to adorn your table, Blue Lace Agate crystal to hold, music in the key of D to listen to,

Oh yeah, we tune to D standard and my 'stage name' is violet. Lolz.
Edit: my drummer says he ate oats all weekend
