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!

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.

Weekly August 15
Monday
The Pisces Moon in harmony with Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Cancer has an optimistic, generous effect on us. Pisces is a compassionate sign, and we'll be likely to tune in to each other. It's a good day to ask for or grant favors or forgiveness. With Mercury retrograde it's natural to want reconciliation. Jupiter in Taurus may make us want to extend ourselves, particularly with money. Be cautious with major spending while Mercury retrograde continues through the 26th. There could be a tendency to be overly sensitive or touchy today with Mars active in Cancer. A gentle approach will work best when dealing with people in both business or personal situations. Tonight is for reconnecting and relaxing. The Moon is void of course all day long beginning at 4:21 am. Wear green.
Tuesday
The long void of course Moon continues making it an excellent week to be on vacation. The Moon is void in Pisces, but it's a very Leo day as the Sun, Moon and Mercury retrograde have consecutive meetings in the sign of creativity, children, and fun. Kids should come first today, and that could mean acting like one! Get out and play, create art or music, and express your self. Freedom to do what we want and not be on a strict schedule or have too much serious business is ideal. Today is for performers, entertainment, sports and games. Shopping may be appealing but is only recommended if you can change your mind, so save receipts. Let the free, outgoing spirit of the Leo Sun and the love and giving nature of Venus in Leo dominate the day. Mercury makes it likely we'll run into or intentionally connect with old friends and the past, hopefully in a joyful way! Tonight the Sun and Mercury encourage us to express our feelings and get back in touch. The Moon moves to fiery Aries at 8:01 pm and it's a party night designed for fun and games. Wear red.
Wednesday
Today is full of Aries fire as the Moon and catalyst Uranus meet instigating action. This could come in the form of news, discussions, confrontations or surprises. The Moon squares Pluto and Mars and opposes Saturn and all of this can be challenging and seem fast. Choose your battles wisely and confront with caution. Mercury is still retrograde and being impulsive or making long term promises is not recommended now. Exploring possibilities is not a bad idea though. Today is about process for eventual progress. Be willing to give things time. Tonight expect obligations to seep in. There's a need to deal fairly and follow through as promised if that's relevant. Harnessing some energy for work of any kind is a good plan for tonight. Getting advice about problems from experienced sources is also favored. We may be facing difficulties today but a slow, steady, productive approach will be most helpful if that's the case. Libra and Aries will feel a familiar cycle at work. Capricorn, Aries and Cancer will want progress and may need to exercise patience. Wear orange.
Thursday
The Moon is in active Aries for another day. It's a sign that loves newness, yet the Moon in harmony with Mercury retrograde in Leo brings back the past too. The best of new and old may combine well today. Leo, Aries and Libra are most likely to be having good times with old and new friends and may feel lucky one way or another today. Sagittarius also enjoys the social and fun aspect of this Aries Moon. Mars in Cancer is in harmony with Jupiter in Taurus involving and agreeing with the earth and water signs. This may activate us to do important things related to home and family including motivating us to repair literally or metaphorically and make things right and/or comfortable. Aquarius and Aries may experience this too. Tonight is very much about reconnecting with the past and getting back to unfinished business and may also be suited to a good game of anything! Wear yellow.
Friday
After a short void of course time, the Moon moves from Aries to Taurus at 8:36 am. The vibe is more calm and settled not to mention optimistic. The Taurus Moon values security and simple pleasures as well as more extravagant comforts. In harmony with Neptune and Pluto, this Taurus Moon can inspire both creativity and practicality. It's a nice combination and takes away some of the potential Taurus extremes. Pisces may feel communicative and have a way with words. Taurus will recognize the value of friends. Capricorn and Virgo may express creatively and also feel the urge to see new places and experience new things. The Moon is getting close to Jupiter in Taurus for a feeling of expansion and wanting more! Capricorn could be due for a lucky break and should follow instincts about what may be coming this week. The waning Moon also makes it a decent time to break bad habits though with Mercury retrograde we need some flexibility with the plan for that. Tonight is more about celebrating than usual Friday night partying if you can make that distinction. It's a nice night for reunions or family dinners or even lavish foods and extravagances but in a comfortable, uncomplicated atmosphere. Wear pink.
Saturday
Taurus Moon time continues with lovely aspects as the Moon meets optimistic, lucky Jupiter boosting moods and even offering opportunities, gifts, and adventures! The Moon is also working with Mars in Cancer for constructive approaches including actual building as well as problem solving and dealing with family matters. Strong personal connections are in the forecast this weekend and reunions or reconciliations (or attempts at reconciling) are likely. This is Venus's last day in Leo making it festive, and a nice day for a celebration! Today's color is green.
Sunday
The zodiac is full of change today as the Moon moves to Gemini at 8:53 pm and Venus shifts to Virgo at 6:11 pm. Earlier, the Taurus Moon squares Mercury retrograde in Leo and we may fixate on one way of doing things or resist change. Potential encounters with people from the past may cause anxiety as well. Venus is opposite Neptune bringing up relationship matters, but the effect can be romantic and create chemistry too. Our love lives are in focus today and that particularly includes Leo and Aquarius. Venus in Virgo for the weeks ahead will put us in the mood to settle into relationships and deal with practical decisions as couples or partners. Venus's last hours in Leo are sexy and flirtatious while Venus in Virgo is earthy and sensual but can also be critical or nagging. All of those traits are activated on this Venus focused day and night. Tonight the Gemini Moon is a bit frantic or distracted with squares dominating and we may second guess and wonder if we're headed in the right direction. Wear gold.
The Pisces Moon in harmony with Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Cancer has an optimistic, generous effect on us. Pisces is a compassionate sign, and we'll be likely to tune in to each other. It's a good day to ask for or grant favors or forgiveness. With Mercury retrograde it's natural to want reconciliation. Jupiter in Taurus may make us want to extend ourselves, particularly with money. Be cautious with major spending while Mercury retrograde continues through the 26th. There could be a tendency to be overly sensitive or touchy today with Mars active in Cancer. A gentle approach will work best when dealing with people in both business or personal situations.

This may activate us to do important things related to home and family including motivating us to repair literally or metaphorically and make things right and/or comfortable. Aquarius and Aries may experience this too. Tonight is very much about reconnecting with the past and getting back to unfinished business and may also be suited to a good game of anything! Wear yellow.
Friday
After a short void of course time, the Moon moves from Aries to Taurus at 8:36 am. The vibe is more calm and settled not to mention optimistic. The Taurus Moon values security and simple pleasures as well as more extravagant comforts. In harmony with Neptune and Pluto, this Taurus Moon can inspire both creativity and practicality. It's a nice combination and takes away some of the potential Taurus extremes. Pisces may feel communicative and have a way with words. Taurus will recognize the value of friends. Capricorn and Virgo may express creatively and also feel the urge to see new places and experience new things. The Moon is getting close to Jupiter in Taurus for a feeling of expansion and wanting more! Capricorn could be due for a lucky break and should follow instincts about what may be coming this week. The waning Moon also makes it a decent time to break bad habits though with Mercury retrograde we need some flexibility with the plan for that. Tonight is more about celebrating than usual Friday night partying if you can make that distinction. It's a nice night for reunions or family dinners or even lavish foods and extravagances but in a comfortable, uncomplicated atmosphere. Wear pink.
Saturday
Taurus Moon time continues with lovely aspects as the Moon meets optimistic, lucky Jupiter boosting moods and even offering opportunities, gifts, and adventures! The Moon is also working with Mars in Cancer for constructive approaches including actual building as well as problem solving and dealing with family matters. Strong personal connections are in the forecast this weekend and reunions or reconciliations (or attempts at reconciling) are likely. This is Venus's last day in Leo making it festive, and a nice day for a celebration! Today's color is green.
Sunday
The zodiac is full of change today as the Moon moves to Gemini at 8:53 pm and Venus shifts to Virgo at 6:11 pm. Earlier, the Taurus Moon squares Mercury retrograde in Leo and we may fixate on one way of doing things or resist change. Potential encounters with people from the past may cause anxiety as well. Venus is opposite Neptune bringing up relationship matters, but the effect can be romantic and create chemistry too. Our love lives are in focus today and that particularly includes Leo and Aquarius. Venus in Virgo for the weeks ahead will put us in the mood to settle into relationships and deal with practical decisions as couples or partners. Venus's last hours in Leo are sexy and flirtatious while Venus in Virgo is earthy and sensual but can also be critical or nagging. All of those traits are activated on this Venus focused day and night. Tonight the Gemini Moon is a bit frantic or distracted with squares dominating and we may second guess and wonder if we're headed in the right direction. Wear gold.

Weekly August 8th
Monday
The Moon is in Sagittarius, sign of adventure and worldly experiences. Mercury back tracks into compatible fire sign Leo at 5:48 am EST. The combination is good for breaking out of a rut or a pattern and getting past road blocks. The Moon and Sun are in harmony in those two signs and Saturn helps out from Libra as well. Today is positive and optimistic even through retrograde confusion or strains. Mercury opposes Neptune and we do have to be careful not to trust too easily or take everything at face value. Ask lots of questions to clarify things! Tonight the Moon and Sun instigate social events of all kinds and road trips or other, out of the usual Monday night routine, excursions. Mars squares Uranus after midnight so be on alert and cautious. It's not a good time to take unnecessary risks. Family news is likely especially for Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. Wear gold.
Tuesday
The Moon continues to cruise carefree Sagittarius and contacts Mercury retrograde in Leo at 3:30 pm EST. If you're free and easy and can have some fun, going back to familiar, well loved spots is a great plan! Sagittarius loves a road trip or any travel and Mercury retrograde reconnects us with the past. While in Leo, Mercury retrograde looks for festivity in the form of reunions and reconnection with friends, family, or old haunts. It may be a tough business day though, and Mars in Cancer square to Uranus in Aries can be less than pleasant and includes family situations as well as other difficult dealings. Unexpected news may not be handled well by all involved. Aries, Cancer and Capricorn may be dealing with this and Libra may have relationship problems come up. After a very short void of course, the Moon moves to Capricorn at 4:38 pm and Uranus, planet of rebellion and destruction is active with the Moon late night. Stay out of troublesome situations since tonight has a rough edge and is full of the unanticipated. A business like attitude or some work ethic may be called for. Wear green.
Wednesday
The Capricorn Moon is alot about business today. A meeting with Pluto brings us back to reality and the Moon opposite Mars in Cancer instigates negotiations especially related to home, family, and relationships. Mars in Cancer doesn't appreciate confrontation, but there may be a need for "the state of things" to be evaluated. Check in on or bring up issues without forcing them. It's a day or reminders, and you may leave yourself one or two since we can be forgetful with Mercury retrograde and it's not looking like a very forgiving day. Do attend to obligations and responsibilities. Aries and Libra should remember this all day long. Taurus and Virgo may get some of the benefits of an ambitious Capricorn Moon and should line up good plans and act on possibilities. Mars approaches an opposition to Pluto in the evening and we really should play it safe and non confrontational. Tonight things could heat up and get emotional. Dredging up the past is not a very good idea, but it will happen anyway tonight. How we react is the key and sets the tone for the outcome. Be emotionally detached and cool under pressure. The Moon is void of course from 4:34pm on. Wear black.
Thursday
The Moon is in Capricorn and void of course all day long. Be very careful with judgment calls and err on the cautious side. The Mars / Pluto opposition may cause frustration, anxiety, emotional overload in general and make us feel vulnerable or exposed. We have to be aware of situations that could escalate and avoid them. Today is a good day to lay low, stick with trusted friends and situations, and do routine work. The Moon moves to Aquarius at 11:47 pm. Tonight clean, go back to unfinished projects, spend time outside, and keep life simple and clear. Doing some planning is great if you can revise a bit later in the month. Today's color is gray.
Friday
The Aquarius Moon may be a relief if the Capricorn, Cancer, Aries action has been rough the past couple of days. The Moon and Uranus instigate surprises and initiate activity, more than likely in an unplanned way. Aquarius is a sign of vision and re-creation so we may be looking ahead, but with Mercury retrograde just take it slow and be flexible. The Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus and blending intellect with a talent for making and doing could yield very good things! Those two signs may want to stretch beyond usual ways of thinking and doing to collaborate! Leo and Scorpio could be partners in those endeavors too. With fixed signs dominating the day, there's a stubborn streak that can help with focus but also make us a bit closed minded. Tonight is somewhat social but there are also the vibrations of obligations, things that need attending to and what's pending overcasting the fun a bit. Wear turquoise.
Saturday
The Aquarius Full Moon is exact at 2:58 pm EST. Opposing Venus along with the Sun in fixed signs Aquarius and Leo, there's a certain unyielding quality to this Full Moon. Use this energy to refocus, pay attention to other points of view, and look out for the best interests of the group. In relationships, for Aquarius and Leo especially, it can be a time of renewed commitment and a search for workable middle ground. In new relationships, particularly for Aries and Libra, times are exciting and opposites may strongly attract. Today is a day of extremes, but Aquarius Moon is not the time to get dramatic or act in selfishness. It is meant to be a less emotional Full Moon though we may feel it in the form of nervousness or anxiety as Aquarius has a sensitive nervous system. Surrounding ourselves with like minded people will be comforting or good fun! Wear white.
Sunday
The Moon moves to Pisces at 8:54 am after opposing Mercury retrograde overnight. During this Full Moon old business crops up and may even peak again. Unfinished negotiations or emotional business with ex's, former friends and colleagues, and even family business can be part of that picture. Remember with Mercury retrograde there may be second chances but be cautious about what you agree to long term. Scorpio and Taurus may be looking for resolution around home and family matters over the past few days and today. The Moon meets Neptune and works with Pluto in Capricorn. Be aware the past could be romanticized and details may be confused or unclear. It's a good day to reconnect though and go back to places once loved. A reunion works well and may be emotional. The edge of yesterday's Full Moon is likely to kick in today since Pisces is a supremely feeling sign. Wear light blue.
