Weekly September 26th

Monday

The Moon is in Virgo, void of course all day. Getting healthier, more organized and activating other traits we value in ourselves is a good plan.  It's not the best day for major decisions, but it is a good day to take steps toward goals. Tomorrow's New Moon helps us launch those plans and fuels new routines and habits.  Today make small changes and prepare.  Lend a friend or co-worker a hand.  Scorpio may find mutual favors or a trade of services works.  Aries and Libra, take care of routine at work, and in your personal life, anything related to health is worth pursuing.  Leo, float out resumes and explore job options though today is not the best for an interview because you may be forgotten or overlooked. We should all follow up on and back up everything today.  People may be forgetful.  Gemini, remember what you need to do at home or for a family member.  Tonight organize and prepare for whatever tomorrow's New Moon means to you. It arrives early! Wear brown.

Tuesday

The Moon moves to Libra at 12:51 am EST and the New Moon in Libra arrives at 7:09 am. A New Moon in Libra can be a fresh start for couples or partners and renewed plans and negotiation in general.  Mercury and the Moon are opposite Uranus so unlikely turns of events are forecast and you may be surprised to be revisiting a legal matter or disagreement, seemingly from out of nowhere.  The Moon meets Mercury and everything is up for discussion. Communication is opened up and topics are laid on the table.  Much of this may have to do with two people or two parties looking for compromise or solutions. This is also a time to initiate new partnerships and get things off the ground.  The Moon and Pluto say organize ideas and be fair and realistic. It may not be great to dredge up the past, but instead to move ahead.  Tonight the Moon is approaching Venus putting love, romance, potential for reconciliation and other matters of partnership in the forefront into tomorrow.  Wear pink.

Wednesday

The Libra Moon meets Saturn for serious business where legalities and others matters of Justice are concerned.  Be very logical and just in dealings today.  Use maturity, discretion, and moderation as guides. It's a good day to ask for wise advice.  Pluto is active from Capricorn, squaring the Libra Sun and Mercury really bringing up topics for consideration and negotiation. It's a day of contracts and commitments, discussions and resolutions.  The Sun helps keep things positive and fair.  We won't appreciate being judged today, and if you do that you may be called out on your own shortcomings or faults.  Tonight, we're influenced by the Sun's expressive meeting with Mercury and the atmosphere is talkative and lively.  The Moon is aligned with Neptune increasing that social aspect and helping us connect with collaborators, groups, and teams.  Wear lavender.

Thursday

The Moon is in Scorpio from 12:05 am through Friday. Scorpio Moon time tends to bring focus, if not obsessiveness. We're likely to be very driven about our primary concerns.  Mercury in Libra and Mars in Leo align for a make it happen attitude.  Everything is up for discussion and decisions, and there should be some enthusiasm involved too!  The Moon square to Mars can be stubborn, but action taken now has long term effects and longevity, so it's a good time to bother and put the effort in.  One question today is about scale-how much, how big, how long should be addressed with Jupiter opposite the Moon looking for some balance or middle ground.  Tonight Venus meets Saturn and relationships and action we take involving romantic or business partners gets serious. Be sure you mean what you say or do tonight.  Wear black.

Friday

The Scorpio Moon is good for delving into projects and plans and really bringing focus to matters at hand.  The Libra Sun aligns with Mars and what we felt yesterday we may be likely to act more definitely on today.  There's an expressive nature and move on things approach in the air.  Libra and Leo are signs that dress to express and impress. Fashion related purchases and business and simply dressing the part is in the forecast so know your audience!  We'll tend to do things all the way today with no holds or apologies.  Tonight, the Moon squares Neptune and we may be too idealistic or dream up things we can't quite follow through on.  Ask yourself if the plan is realistic as you go forward.  Creative process and collaboration is also likely tonight, with different approaches to mesh for original or best results.  Wear maroon.

Saturday/Sunday

The Moon moves into Sagittarius for explorers, adventurers, and independent thinkers. Those traits are favored this weekend, and with the Moon in harmony with planets in Leo (Mars), Libra (Saturn, Mercury and Venus), and Aries (Uranus), it's meant to be an active two days. Travels and road trips and cultural events are appealing, and  this is a good time to plan for those too. Act on educational or study abroad plans by working on applications or seeking opportunities. It's a good time for study and identifying your philosophy of life from here forward! Wear purple Saturday and yellow on Sunday.

Weekly September 19th

Monday

The Gemini Moon aligns with Saturn for self discipline and structure.  Take wild ideas or too many thoughts and prioritize and sorting them. Saturn says forget about what's not logical or sane and stick with what will help you make progress.  Today is favorable for writing, studying and discussing plans, perhaps even settling on one or two!  Gemini is the sign of communication, brothers and sisters and short distance travels. Plan a long weekend, a business trip, or a trip back home.  Schedule visits, tours, and even exams.  It's a decent day to take a test, recall information, respond in writing and or reply to emails and invitations. Call family members who may be waiting to hear from you, particularly if you're a Pisces or Aries.  Gemini, the focus is on you for planning and discussions, and your ruling planet Mercury is square to the Moon in your sign at 5:30 pm EST. The afternoon and evening are about trying to communicate clearly and effectively. Virgo, you may relate this most to your career or other leadership roles. Challenging conversations might be tackled tonight. Broach uncomfortable topics. This is about getting out of our comfort zones in order to generate solutions and open up discussions that need to be had.  Sagittarius and Pisces, this may be going on in your closest relationships. Today's color is blue.

Tuesday

The 4th quarter Moon arrives at 9:39 am EST. This is often a time of rethinking and going over recent details, plans or events. With the Gemini Moon this morning we could overthink or put too much focus on whether we've made the right choices.  The Moon square to the Sun creates some nervous energy. Virgo and Gemini may notice that a lot and it can take the form of physical symptoms.  Take it easy and don't feel like you have to know everything right now.  At 12:33 pm the Moon aligns with deceptive but dreamy Neptune and we can become forgetful or find an escape for a couple of hours.  Between then and 2:53 pm important purchases and decisions are not recommended.  The Cancer Moon arrives at 2:53 and we may settle into one mood or another.  Tonight is domestic and taking care of personal business or concerns will be a priority.  If you're trying to get an answer or fire friends up for fun you may have your work cut out!  Uranus in Aries squares the Moon, and Cancer you may be worried about competition or being outshone or usurped.  Capricorn, home related news may baffle of confuse you.  Let information settle before reacting too quickly since Cancer Moon is a sensitive time and can result in grudges.  Wear white.

Wednesday

Under the Cancer Moon we tend to react to changes in people, moods and our environment, and today is very changeable. We may become moody or shift throughout the day. The Moon opposite Pluto isn't always pleasant and a square to Venus in Libra makes for relationship disagreements.  Dealing with things we wish we could avoid appears inevitable especially in the early hours.  The Moon aligning with Jupiter helps boost moods some and makes outlooks brighter, especially if you feel like you're getting something accomplished.  The key to the day is to not get pulled down by influences you can't control and focus on making improvements despite other circumstances.  Pluto sometime throws the deep, dark or buried out into the open.  Try not to let a skeleton from your closet or someone else's freak you out. Leave the past in the past.  Tonight may be hard work especially if family or relationship issues are involved. Try not to sidestep but to deal fairly and realistically. Wear black.

Thursday

The Cancer Moon is in harmony with Mercury today. This is good for meetings, making plans, studies, and communication in general. At home, have a conversation to ease any tension and work through a to-do list.  At work, make conservative business decisions and try to keep co-workers' and clients' feelings in mind.  Blend personal with business or work effectively.  Creatively, it's a good day to express through music, art, on stage or in the kitchen.   Rehearse and memorize material.  The Moon  moves to Leo at 9:55 after just 23 minutes void of course.  Leo Moon time is suited to gatherings and parties, yet tonight is still good for work that requires creativity and focus.  This is the last night of summer officially, and as the Moon approaches Mars, there's a feeling of anything goes! Tonight should be fun! Wear purple.

Friday

The Leo Moon meets Mars overnight, firing us up for a high energy Friday! The urge to compete, play, and take action is strong!  It's a fire signs day, so Sagittarius and Aries are also included as the instigators and action starters while Scorpio also has the fired up feeling and may be a leader or just feeling on top of the world today.  Mars and Uranus are interacting so we do need to use a bit of caution in any potentially dangerous situations.  Take precautions around hazardous situations or even around volatile people. Wear seat belts and crash helmets literally or otherwise!  News could get exciting or chaotic.  The Sun moves to Libra indicating the Autumnal Equinox at 5:05 am, and with this new season and a New Moon approaching on Tuesday, there's planning and reconsidering to be done.  Prepare to launch or announce something new.  Tonight the Moon harmonizes with Venus the planet of love. It's a couples' night so make a date, even with a best friend if there's no romantic plan.  Romance is very much in the air though, and the Leo Moon is about fun and festivity and overdoing it a bit.  Wear gold.

Saturday

The Leo Moon is in harmony with Saturn , so while Leo Moon time is meant for fun, Saturn helps with any serious issues or business, encouraging responsibility and fairness in what we take on today.  The Moon is opposite Neptune in Aquarius activating creativity, imagination and playfulness. It's a good day to make up games, improvise, and take out the art supplies!  Leo is also loyal and strong bringing out those traits in us. If there's a down side today it's that some situations and people will be hard to trust so use good discretion and don't just hand over money or information unless you're certain.  Wear orange.

Sunday

The Moon moves to Virgo at 12:39 am. Today is meant for work and prosperity.  Do things that yield tangible results.  A practical, reality based outlook is called for with the Moon in harmony with Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus.  The Jupiter effect is optimistic, and we may go about tasks happily, feeling like we're accomplishing something even if it's hard work.  Building, fixing, cleaning, and studying are all favored as is any outdoor work or time in nature.  The Sun opposite Uranus may strike like lightning with flashes of inspiration or sudden understanding especially tonight. It could disturb the balance, but it may also lead to the next big move.  Libra, this happens directly in your sign and is also about relationship. Aries, you get that same effect, while Virgo and Pisces may related on a work or financial lever. Leo, the Sun always impacts you, and this time it's about possibilities for new opportunities, travels, and potentially educational plans as well as a change in outlook. Mercury moves to Libra at 5:09 pm and the Moon is void of course from3:47 pm until after midnight, on Tuesday EST. Those hours may tend toward confusion.  Be organized early and know that you'll need the head start on tomorrow. Wear yellow.

Weekly September 12th

Monday

The Moon is Full in Pisces at 5:27 am. The weekend had optimistic aspects, easing us into this very emotional and relationship oriented Full Moon. We have Mercury in harmony with Pluto in Virgo and Capricorn seeking solutions and hoping for discussions and conversations about important matters.  Mars is weighing in from Cancer with a word about family issues and urges to express things that are blocked or held back.  Pisces Full Moon opposes Venus raising concerns and exaggerating feelings about our closest relationships.  The people and things nearest and dearest to us take priority.  It may be hard to concentrate on other business and work today, but whatever is happening, we're seeking solutions that take emotions into consideration as well as plans we can all live with.  The Full Moon in Pisces is compassionate.  It's a good day for outdoor activities from fishing and planting to time by the lake or sea.  Today is meant to be reflective, spiritual, and sensitive. Find places and things to do that have a  calming effect.  The Moon is void of course from 9:45 pm into the wee hours. Easy does it tonight. Too much pressure may not yield what you're hoping for.   Today's color is white.

Tuesday

The Aries Moon kicks in, accelerating and shifting our gears at 2:49 am EST.  Meeting Uranus at 8:49 am, this Aries Moon could be a rude awakening or just  call to action.  News and events will let us know we can't hold off or delay something any longer.  Yesterday's sensitivity could turn sour today if we feel overwhelmed or pushed too hard.  The Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn and realities, potentially facts too hard to swallow, set in.  What to do and who should take care of and responsibility for things is in question and may create struggles and disagreements.  Temper that need to act fact with some rational thought today.  This may feel more like a Full Moon than yesterday when it comes to extremes.  Do take action. Avoid overreaction, impulsive moves, and anger.  Today is unapologetic and we'll tend to move on quickly, in some cases burning a bridge.  Aquarius and Capricorn, family news and other declarations you may not have expected come early this week.  Pisces, you are in the throws of relationship as well as employment and money things to figure out and may feel that your plate is loaded.  Aries, take it slow and keep some things to yourself until you are really ready or sure.  Today's color is red.

Wednesday

The Aries Moon is opposite Saturn bringing up legal and other matters of justice up for resolution, possibly immediately.  There's a serious and timely nature that says deal with this now. Much of this has been pending for months, most likely.  Find compromise or consensus and put an end to disagreements maturely. This opposition is about finding the right answer, the fair judgment.  Mercury and Jupiter align helping with productive solutions and encouraging conversations.  Today is about negotiating a good deal for everyone.  Be willing to give in a little in order to reach an agreement, divide assets, and gain the freedom to move ahead rather than stay in stubborn circumstances.  Aries and Libra host the action, and Capricorn with Saturn as your ruling planet you're likely to know exactly what this is all about too. Tonight, Mercury and Jupiter also favor writing and studies and practical problem solving.  Virgo, Sagittarius and Taurus may find tonight most productive and feel like something important is riding on the outcome.  Wear yellow.

Thursday

The Moon starts out in Aries square to Mars and there's plenty of reason to expect confrontation and frustrations.  Mars, Aries ruling planet, is uncomfortable in more passive and/or emotional Cancer. Things we've been holding in may come out in bursts with temper or tears.  There's a strong need to confront things in a productive way, but this Aries energy can be impulsive and say or do without enough thought or rationality.  The Cancer energy can add that element of feeling easily slighted or unable to say or do what's needed and instead wallow in self pity.  Avoid being a bully or a victim today. There's a tendency toward either!  Neptune in Aquarius may put a gloss over things, in harmony with the Moon in early afternoon ( 1:10 pm EST) and then the Moon is void of course until Taurus Moon begins at 3:25 pm. The Taurus Moon helps get our feet back on the ground and settle us after the Full Moon fallout which may have felt stronger than the Full Moon itself did!  If things have been too fast and furious, take it down a notch tonight and look for plans and resolutions you can activate tomorrow when the aspects are just right for breaking bad patterns or habits and finding real long term solutions. Solid, grounded, productive, comfort zone is the place to be tonight.  Today's color is green.

Friday

The universe appears harmonious today, and practical earth sign energy is at work.  The Taurus Moon meets expansive Jupiter and collaborates with Mercury in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. Calling upon all our earth sign type traits should be easier. That includes being productive, constructive and helpful.  Mercury is urging us to look for workable solutions and to make plans.  Aim for flexible options with long term positive effects. Taurus, today's Moon sign, is fixed and so decisions matter and tend to stick. Make promises you're fairly certain you can keep.  Be persistent in quitting bad habits.  This is also a good day for outdoor work, gardening and being in the kitchen.  Taurus enjoys indulgences and tonight eating and drinking together is a comforting and satisfying way to end a work week that began with a Full Moon. Release tension with good food and trusted friends.  Wear brown.

Saturday

The Moon is in Taurus in harmony with the Virgo Sun for confidence and the feeling we can make things happen! Today can be very productive and is solid for decisions you can stick with. The real story of the day is more likely to be Venus opposite Uranus in Libra/ Aries which is very much about relationship surprises including status changes or sudden news or awareness. In some cases this will feel like the final straw or the pivotal moment where everything changes.  This can range from friendship turning to romance, possibly for Sagittarius or Gemini, or sudden attraction between people who seem unlikely partners, maybe Libra or Aries.  This can also signal the end though if there's an event like a partner's unfaithfulness or revelation of true feelings or lack thereof.  By the end of the weekend we may all have new news about the couples around us, dissolving or forming romances and liasons.  Wear pink.

Sunday

The Moon moves to Gemini at 4:06 am revealing our busy and fickle natures. Many things may call for our attention today and it may be hard to decide or prioritize.  The Gemini Moon works with Venus in Libra for flirtations and romance and also a way with words and self expression.  Today is a good day to convince someone.  The Moon and Uranus align continuing news and surprises along the lines of yesterday's action.   We're more likely to reveal or announce things quickly today.  Venus is square to Pluto tonight and relationship is once again in the forefront with things to be worked out including situations of a very practical nature.  Mars moves into Leo tonight where the warrior planet is more confident and action oriented. Some stuck points and passivity should go by the way side in the weeks ahead.  Wear yellow.

Weekly September 5th

Monday

The Sagittarius Moon inspires us to get out of stuck places, explore new ideas or places, and generally take an adventurous attitude.  This is also the sign of higher education so taking care of new routines, organization, and applications for schools or programs is appropriate today.  The Moon in harmony with Mercury in Leo is active, outgoing, festive and also expressive.  Today has a brave, bold streak. Use it to plunge into something you might normally shy away from.  Tonight the Moon and Neptune in Sagittarius and Aquarius put us in an open minded, worldly mood. Planning new endeavors, travel and other things you need to envision are worth working toward. It's also a nice night socially.  The Moon is void of course from 8:30 to 10:03 pm and it's transition time before the ambitious, productive nature of Capricorn Moon sets in. Wear green.

Tuesday

The Capricorn Moon sets us up well for back to business today.  The Moon and Uranus combined mean we're likely to deal with last minute and unanticipated things early on. This could create strain and struggles for control.  Try to ease in and not over react. Take a minute to think before you speak or act.  The Moon meets Pluto for serious business and heavy considerations. Later in the day Jupiter throws in  more optimism and a can do attitude.  It might feel like one thing after another today.  Take one thing at a time and use Capricorn's realistic, coping skills and influence.  Other people may not be very sensitive or understanding of excuses and errors today.  A little bit of perfectionism and a very responsible approach will be helpful. Tonight is work and organization oriented, but with a happy attitude and an eye toward progress and prosperity.  Wear black.

Wednesday

The Capricorn Moon in harmony with the Virgo Sun makes this a good decision making day especially before 4:35 pm EST when the Moon moves void of course.  Confidence should be high and the ability to adapt to circumstances strengthened, and with Venus also in harmony with the Moon our personal relationships and their impact on decisions and other business may be improved.  The Moon and Saturn may make justice an issue so act in fairness.  The Moon is opposite Mars in cancer before moving void of course for the evening. This can bring up things we're unsettled or upset about and tonight the likelihood of being on opposing sides increases.  We might feel like we can't fight our way out of a paper bag tonight.  Go easy if frustrations abound.  The void of course Moon is not the best time to take action anyway.  Save it for morning. Wear brown.

Thursday

The Moon moves into Aquarius at 5:42 am EST. One trait this activates is our ability to envision. It's a good day for planning and design. Set your sights on something ahead and take steps in that direction. Aquarius is a strong willed and deliberate sign.  Will and perseverance and attention to detail combined with global ideas and vision help us get what we strive for now.  Again, we may find people are not very sensitive, but under Aquarius Moon we are likely to work together and form teams or communities or groups to accomplish common goals.  Mercury is opposite Neptune so we may have some trouble uncovering the truth and the facts today.  There's a tendency to want to gloss over flaws or problems or even the real truth.  Don't assume things are as they appear. There's a sense of illusion that can be creative and see beyond the tangible, but we have to be careful where trust is concerned.  Cancer and Capricorn, note that in business and financial matters today. Pisces and Virgo, friends may tell you what they think you want to hear.  Tonight  is good for group meetings, team work, and making future plans.  Wear turquoise.

Friday

The Moon is in logical Aquarius, and Mercury moves forward into Virgo where the August retrograde began.  The next few days are about clearing up confusion and cleaning up and repairing where things went awry or broke down in August. That includes communication, things we have in writing and dates that were scheduled then.  The Moon in harmony with Saturn urges a well thought out approach and a mature outlook. A get it over with or get it done attitude is likely, taking emotion out of the equation.  Mercury is practical, flexible and analytical in Virgo.  Try not to over-think problems that need to be solved. Just try something and see if it works.  Tonight, big group gatherings and events are appealing.  Wear blue.

Saturday

The Moon is in Aquarius, meets Neptune at 1:32 pm and then is void of course until 3:26 pm. The morning hours are best for detailed work or thought. Decisions will be made more solidly under Aquarius Moon. Neptune provides an escapist or creative influence and movies, music, photography, art and other things that lift us beyond the ordinary are in the forecast too. This afternoon it could be easy to lose track of time or other things.  The Pisces Moon from 3:26 on continues that vibe and opposes Mercury at 9:06 pm EST. Avoid being overly trusting and take things slow in terms or getting to know new people or situations.  Trust your instincts and realize the truth may be disguised.  Do creative things or get into a good book or film. Our imaginations are activated.  Venus and Mars help relationships along and tonight a date is well timed.  Wear green.

Sunday

The Moon is in creative, spiritual Pisces in harmony with Pluto and Jupiter in earth signs. Those planets ground Pisces Moon dreaminess some, making it easier to accomplish something if necessary.  It's also a good day to get together with friends, work on things you really care about and have emotional attachment to, and enjoy time outdoors if the weather is cooperating.  Pisces Moon time is good for planting, fishing and other similar work or activities. Venus and Mars still have relationship and good chemistry between us in the forecast for Virgo, Cancer, Taurus, and Pisces especially.  Wear light blue.

Sunday, August 28, 2011

Weekly August 29th

Monday

The Moon is in Virgo and we're in New Moon mode. See the Virgo Moon post below.  The New Moon in Virgo favors versatility in thinking and decision making. Look for new ways to approach old problems.  Concrete information and solutions may be available now that Mercury is direct in Leo, and the Virgo Moon and Jupiter in Taurus work constructively and practically together.  Good fortune is in the air, and while today is optimistic we should stay realistic and avoid being excessive and exaggerating.  The Moon and Venus meet for resolving differences, forgiveness in relationships, and reconciliation or forward movement, whichever is most appropriate and healthy.  The New Moon in Virgo is very much related to health, good habits and reorganization too.  Work on those things tonight as well as taking care of personal and family situations. Mars in Cancer brings up family and other co-habitation issues and agreements and it's a better time for changes and solutions that improve the environment at home.  Aries. Virgo and Cancer are likely to be in the midst of this.  Tonight is all about practical and constructive approaches.  The Moon is void of course from 6:15 pm on. Wear white.

Tuesday

The Moon  is void of course in Virgo until 2:25 pm. We'll need lots of flexibility and ability to change plans or attitudes today.  The morning is full of flux but is also optimistic as Venus in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus form a harmonious trine.  It's dynamic, loving, potentially prosperous and sexy. An earthy, warm connected feeling dominates the first half of the day.  Make a date, do something positive, plant and create!  The Libra Moon moves in and puts our one on one relationships in the forefront priority wise.  It's also a good time to redecorate, paint, work with color and beautify the environments. Allow things to flow rather than pushing or forcing an agenda.  The Moon opposes Uranus in Aries and squares Pluto tonight which changes the mood some and brings up issues or debates as well as unexpected news or changes of plans.   Try not to judge too quickly and avoid judging yourself or others today and tonight.  Keep working toward goals and resolutions.  Wear lavender.

Wednesday

The Libra Moon meets Saturn and squares Mars in Cancer.  Go for balanced and sane solutions and agreements with this action in the sign of balance and justice.  Weight pros and cons. Make serious or conservative decisions.  If necessary re-establish rules or boundaries.  Cancer may relate this more to family relationships and home life while Virgo and Pisces may see this in business dealings.  Gemini, be fair in friendships and logical generally.  Pisces particularly could be dealing with resolving legal, partnership, and other financial matters.  Work and decide with plenty of information and advice.  Capricorn, be mature and responsible at work and in other public and leadership roles. You're in the spotlight for attention and you want it to be the right kind!  Tonight the Moon and Mercury in Leo align for a social, fun night out.  Libra, Aries, and Leo are tonight's social butterflies.  Wear light blue.

Thursday

The Libra Moon is in harmony with Neptune in Aquarius for creativity and vision as the day begins.  We may don rose colored glasses and choose to overlook a fault or mistake.  Acting rationally is the best plan though Neptune can lean toward escapism.  Try to balance your point of view or wishes with the perspective of someone else.  A reality check may be necessary so we don't lose our better judgement.  The Moon is void of course shortly from 1:35 pm to 2:48 pm and then in Scorpio. The Scorpio Moon provides enormous focus and while in harmony with Pluto in Capricorn can bring out a very driven part of us.  Still fueled by a New Moon Sunday night, we can use this powerful push to our advantage and delve deeply into anything important. Respect a do not disturb sign or feeling tonight.  Expect some intensely fixed energy from passion to ambition tonight and tomorrow.  Scorpio, this is very personal to you while Capricorn may be driven to lead and sway others in a certain direction.  Aquarius, put energy into career goals.  Wear indigo blue.

Friday

The Moon is in Scorpio directly opposite Jupiter in Taurus.  We may tend toward excess or exaggeration.  Inner struggle could be the result if you're trying to talk yourself out of something, scale back, or leave a bad habit or addiction behind.  In love and relationship, we'll tend to be extreme too, and disagreements may be stubborn and strong, but passion is in the air too!  Opposites may seem to attract.  Venus is in harmony with the Moon encouraging us to go for it! Put yourself in the way of someone you're attracted to.  Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus and Scorpio are likely to be feeling the attraction.  Jupiter aligns with the Sun in Virgo tonight for a feeling of good fortune and maybe even fate.  It's a decent night to work too, with prosperity in favor.  Wear maroon.

Saturday

Today is well suited to travel and new experiences as Jupiter aligned with the Sun late last night and the Moon moves to Sagittarius at 5:03 pm. If the early hours are tense and include disagreements or struggles due to the Moon square Mercury and Neptune, things should brush by quickly as the Sagittarius Moon moves in late afternoon.  Respect boundaries and privacy the first half of the day while the Moon is in Scorpio and some adjustments are likely to cause debate or thought.   The Sagittarius Moon aligns with Uranus and favor spontaneous action, adventures and even parties in the evening.  Wear red.

Sunday

The Sagittarius Moon squares the Sun and Venus. In relationships and personal decisions we may not know quite how we feel! Independence versus commitment may be an issue. The Sun and Venus in Virgo are warm and sexy, yet can be critical of a partner or lover's faults.  A little space could help. Sagittarius Moon is not always the best time for lovers.  It is a good Moon sign for new adventures and last minute plans.  Try something out of the ordinary today even if it's a different food or a little trip out of your usual circuit.  More global travel may also be appealing and Saturn from Libra helps with decisions and research related to future plans.  Today's color is purple.




New Moon in Virgo Sunday, August 28th & 29th

The New Moon in Virgo is worthy of it's own blog post. The Moon and Sun meet in Virgo at 11:04 pm EST as Mercury has just stationed direct in Leo on Friday.  Mercury began the retrograde in Virgo and will be retracing those degrees soon. The push for resolution & forward  movement is very strong!  Allow for flexibility and avoid negativity and criticism during this time since Virgo can be prone to perfectionism and holds very high expectations generally.  As a mutable sign, Virgo's gift is versatility and drawing on that quality will greatly ease anxiety and help situations flow naturally and benefit even those of us not dealing with Mercury retrograde confusion and clean up. 

The arrival of a New Moon just as Mercury prepares to move forward seems very auspicious and well timed, and with Venus just a few degrees ahead in the same sign, blessings, reconciliations, and positive feelings should be abundant.  Our eyes may open to beauty and our hearts open to each other.  Letting go of judgments, holds and blocks, and the idea that there is only one way is possible now and favored by the universe.  Jupiter will align with the Virgo Moon and Venus in the next two days adding to the good fortune and optimism. Jupiter is philosophical, expansive and open minded, and in Taurus lends a grounded, how-to approach if you're ready to set goals, take the first or next steps and make things happen, potentially in a very big way!  Remove perceived road blocks and explore avenues for growth and expansion in relationships, career, business, and home life.  All areas of our lives are prime to bloom after a series of spring/summer eclipses followed by Mercury retrograde, and now a well placed New Moon to spur us on!

Sign by sign, the Virgo New Moon may tend to impact each Sun sign in these ways. Read also your rising signs and Moon sign for additional insight.



Virgo: With Mercury's retrograde, forward movement, and a New Moon, aim for all of what you've been hoping for and holding out for this summer! This New Moon is your birthday gift from the universe and it's beautifully aspected this year with Jupiter in harmony from Taurus encouraging exploration of new places, philosophies and ideas.  Your whole outlook may shift this year!  Your eyes open to the world and new experiences including travel and learning are distinctly favored.  Venus presents you with love, deep personal connections, and stirs your creative talents particularly for beautifying and enhancing your appearance and your immediate environment such as home or place of work.  Open to every opportunity now and allow yourself room to grow and take risks without fear of mistakes.  This is a very forgiving time as well as an opportunity for change and growth.

Libra: Dream and envision. The New Moon in Virgo is a time for planning and preparing.  Some Libras will repair relationships and friendships or move on from them if it's for the best.  Let wishes and dreams take shape.

Scorpio: Friendships, hopes and social connections grow with the Virgo New Moon.  Love and romance, new alliances, and finding your place in groups or social networks is likely. Relationships should feel very satisfying. Also very evident is Mercury's direct motion fueling your career, shifting your role, and putting focus on your talents, strengths and public persona.

Sagittarius: This is career time. That can include building your story and resume in any area you have a specific talent for, even beyond your professional work.  Mercury direct makes it easier for you to move, travel, earn promotions and break stalemates whether internal or due to external circumstances.

Capricorn: The New Moon is very compatible to your sign and also in harmony with Pluto in your sign, helping resolve any situations that seem dark or psychological.  Practical concerns and moves are very much in favor for you and opportunities to travel and learn may present themselves now. 

Aquarius: Mercury moving forward benefits you in long term relationships, both in love and business.  All shared ventures and resources are favored, and now is a positive time for settlements, agreements and commitments of all kinds.  Romantically you may also find yourself moving in the right direction as delays and mental blocks dissolve. 

Pisces: The New Moon in Virgo is a time of coupling, reconciling, and renewing commitments.  Mercury will help reestablish the routines and habits that make bigger things seem more possible.  Establish good foundations and have a grounded approach as you enter agreements in love or other partnerships.

Aries: Virgo New Moon is an ideal time to reorganize, adopt new routines and start healthier habits. Focus on caring for your physical body and health.  Getting back to recreational activities is as much in favor as reestablishing work habits. Aim for new and improved.

Taurus: Virgo New Moon time favors you in love and in luck!

Mercury direct helps resolving matters of home and family as well.

Gemini:  The New Moon in Virgo is great for changes in your living situation, from improving your space to moving to relationships with anyone you live with.  Mercury is the planet of news and communication in general so discussions about plans and adjusting to family news is likely now and in the weeks just ahead.  Be open minded and consider alternatives you may not have seen previously.

Cancer:  Virgo New Moon is about communication and news in Cancer's world.  Hearing from family, breaking your own news to others is one potential effect.  Legal and business matters come up for resolution.  At work concentrating on marketing plans and clients or in educational settings focusing on applications or other goals is favored. Take steps and keep conversations and written work flowing.

Leo: New Moon in Virgo is financial time for Leo. How and how much you earn and spend is in focus and up for discussion.  It's a good time for reigning in or developing the budget, finding new ways to earn and grow and invest and also engaging in sensible spending.  Mercury now direct in Leo brings a time of resolving very personal and important things.

Weekly August 22nd

Monday

The Gemini Moon combines with Uranus in Aries for a busy potentially wild start to the week.  The new and old are in a tug 'o war for our attention! In fact our attention may need to go in several different directions. It's a difficult day for decisions. If you can wait it out, Mercury retrograde ends on Friday.  The Sun is opposing Neptune in Leo/Aquarius which can be festive and fun! Joining groups or events may appeal to us. Our romantic sensibilities are at work which also means we might be idealistic.   Gemini, Leo and Aries will feel social and expressive! We won't tend to hold back much today. Tonight is the last night of Leo birthdays. Wear yellow.

Tuesday

The Moon remains in intelligent, busy Gemini and the Sun moves to Virgo at 7:21 am. The Moon and Mercury retrograde in harmony create reconnections with former friends, colleagues, and other business from the past.  The Sun now in Virgo encourages us to get back to practical matters and take a sensible attitude. Virgo is also a mutable sign and so is Gemini so today may seem very changeable and during this 4th quarter Moon we have a tendency to be changing our minds or our attitudes toward things.  Tonight is social and a good night to meet people and converse. Wear navy blue.

Wednesday

There's a mix of influences at work today as the Moon moves to Cancer, sign of family and home and works well with the Sun and loving Venus in Virgo then later opposes Pluto and squares Uranus in Aries. With Cancer Moon we're sensitive to environments and the mood shifts of other people.  We could feel at the mercy or whim of feelings, even if they're not even our own.  There's a domestic streak to the day and a want to get things done, especially chores and repairs that have to do with home or with family members.  The nurturing and caring side of Cancer Moon is more likely earlier in the day while in the evening the opposition and square become exact and may put us more on edge.  Even in confrontational situations we may just want to avoid the problem or person and turn our attention elsewhere. That may not be the worst plan since Mercury is still retrograde and people may lash out or say things they don't really mean under stress.  It's a good night to keep things simple and stay out of drama.  Progress with routine things is favored.  Cook, clean, organize and err on the conservative side.  Wear light blue.

Thursday

The Cancer Moon is void of course from 9:04 am EST until after midnight.   Today has a strong Mars influence as the warrior planet and the Moon, both in Cancer, square Saturn.  Be guided by justice and fairness or pay the consequence.  Saturn in Libra is not likely to be forgiving of injustice nor is Mars in Cancer, though we may retreat instead of call someone out on their behavior.  Mars and the Moon also meet which can make us edgy and aggressive or passive aggressive. Slights or oversights and criticism may be taken hard, particularly among family members.  Domestic chores and repairs call for attention. Home and real estate matters should be dealt with carefully and fairly.  Tonight Venus and Pluto stir up relationships particularly for Pisces and the earth signs.  It could be a nice date night for those signs especially. Spend time with people you love and may have been neglecting.  Wear white.

Friday

The Moon moves into Leo shortly after midnight setting us up for an outgoing and creative day.  Leo days are great for vacation, games. performances and recreation but are also suited to learning.  Leo is the sign of children, and they may keep us extra busy and want attention as the Moon works with Uranus in, also childlike, Aries.  Today is meant for plans and fun or just a whirlwind of activity of any kind.  Try to avoid confusion or being pushed to decide important things on this last day of Mercury retrograde, also in Leo. The retrograde is over at 6:03 pm and these hours can be the most prone to reversals, mistakes, and misunderstandings.  It's a good day to rehearse, perform or attend a performance and Scorpio is set to be in the spotlight, as is Leo.  Cancer and Capricorn be very cautious where money and legalities are concerned.  Wear purple.

Saturday

The Leo Moon and Mercury will meet just one day after Mercury has stationed direct.  The beginning of resolution and a change in direction is in the forecast. Leo rules entertainment, stage and screen, among other things, so news about stars, films, tours, and all that glitters is in the forecast. It's a better day for shopping and we may feel like buying luxuries, clothing and jewelry. The Moon aligns with Saturn also helping us deal reasonably with serious matters of any kind including relationships and legalities.  Today's color is yellow.
