Tip of the Week:
The first of two consecutive New Moons in Virgo occurs today, or August 22/23, the date depending on your time zone. Of initial significance is the fact that both lunation cycles(New Moons) will occur at the critical (Anaretic) degrees of 0 and 29 of Virgo. Since there are 30 degrees in a sign and since there are 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, this event is not entirely rare. Yet, it is still significant enough and worthy of mention and attention. The basic fact is that both lunations are anchored in Virgo, the sign of analysis and critical thinking.

Since Mercury rules Virgo, it will play a special role.

For this first lunation cycle, Mercury is in Leo. While Mercury is often challenged in Leo, it is well-aspected, supporting original thoughts and breakthroughs in perception of what is deemed ‘reality’. Generally, as a whole, the New Moon chart reveals an edgy, rebellious, or revolutionary tone and can also be deemed to be both deep, dynamic and mysterious and factual, skeptical and sobering all at the same time!

As is always true of the New Moon, where it lands in your own Birth Chart, or even the ‘solar chart’ used for Horoscopes, is the first consideration regarding its destined influence, and will be a central focus for this week’s Horoscopes.

Have a great week!

Horoscope for the Week:
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Fresh waves of creative thoughts and ideas inspired by and the source of critical analysis, is a central theme inspired by this New Moon. Positively, your confidence levels will be running high. However, some of your perspectives may seem radical and edgy or too lofty for realistic expression and integration. Still, enjoy the stretch of possibility thinking.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

The creative potential for this lunation cycle is strong. Yet, it remains that to harness it for its full potential, awareness and intention is the key. You might have to make extra efforts to break free from the comfort zone of your habitual perspectives. The other challenge is to know what you truly need and not simply want, and then to zero-in.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Changes close to home, probably in the way of improvements, are likely associated with this New Moon. Interactions with family and perhaps neighbors is part of the plot, as are financial interests and investments, and possibly concerns. Whatever happens, focus to reach cooperative win/win solutions, supported by emotional intelligence.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Get ready for a busy cycle requiring a clear and strong focus on your priorities going forward. Change is in the air and can be as simple as clearing the clutter. However, the reach could go deeper as with renovations and the time, energy and investments they require. Do your research to get the best quality for the best price.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

A careful consideration of your financial picture is likely during this cycle. Investments are featured, and they could be especially directed to your business, but perhaps also to your health and that of your lifestyle in general. Drawing upon hidden reserves of faith and trust in the flow might be required. Fortunately, your energy levels should be running higher than usual.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This New Moon in your sign will activate a pioneering spirit and an ambitious determination. You will take an assertive approach to increase your outreach to get more attention and expand your influence and popularity. However, you may have to concentrate to both narrow your focus and clear the cobwebs from your mind which have possibly accumulated.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

This powerful, double lunation cycle marks a time to step back from social activities and get busier with matters behind the scenes. Doing so could prove challenging, however, as others yearn for your attention and engagement, perhaps especially in your career, but socially as well. Positively, Mars in your sign is supporting an assertive resolve.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Your sights are set on the future, and you are in the mood to outline a creative strategy. You are ready for change but could feel conflicted regarding which is the lesser price, leaving things as they are or taking a leap of faith. The latter probably holds greater appeal, but to garner the courage required, some inner work is probably required.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Virgo has a strong influence on your career and social status in general and this important area of your life will get activated over the next couple of months! Returns for past efforts meanwhile, are rolling in, but the results could be mixed. Mercury in Leo currently will support you to nurture a creative vision, but you are wise to keep your focus practical and realistic.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Earthy Virgo is in your element, so this couplet of New Moons could go your way. Venus and Jupiter are beckoning you to expand your horizons with confidence. Mars is urging you to just do it. Yet, Mercury in Leo currently however, may require that you approach things cautiously and based on having done your research to decipher your best approach.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Virgo combined with your sign equates to engineering. So, stretching the word to meet your current life situation, how might you engineer needed and desired solutions? The key is to outline a plan and then refine it to be more detailed, guided by creative, critical thinking. Cooperative efforts producing synergy will likely work better than going it alone.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your ambitions are on a steady rise. Cooperation is an important keyword now and this theme trend will continue well into October anyway and will even increase yet. First, determine how you can do things better, making improvements and refinements as necessary. Your creative energies should be running strong, so tap into them with confidence.
