Your Complete Horoscope Guide for August 30th - September 6th

For the New Moon at 11º Virgo, for your sign or natal house (if you know it):

Aries

(6th House) With a square between your ruling planet Mars and the planet Neptune, you are being asked to slow down, retreat, and look for moments of stillness. If you don’t do so willingly, you may be compelled to. Neptune has this way of sapping us of our energy and initiative when it comes to call on Mars. In its final degrees of Gemini, the energy of the previous 6 weeks is gradually dissipating any way. Go with it for now. Some things are needing to be released, in order to allow other things to come in and take root. If you do have any shards of energy remaining, use what you can of the New Moon in Virgo to reorganize your life and your environment, in readiness for the new season to come. Look for more efficient ways to use your time, improve your routines, work habits and daily activities so that they better support your health and well-being. Whether the focus is on improving your routines, work habits, or your health, even small changes can bring positive results in this weather. A good intention for the New Moon on September 2nd/3rd might be I simplify and organize my life, in order to create an environment that will better support my life and well-being.

Taurus

(5th House) With Uranus stationing this weekend for its retrograde phase, we are all encouraged to get in touch with our own internal truth, in order to live a more authentic life and lifestyle. This has been especially so for Taurus these past 6 years that Uranus has been transiting the sign of Taurus. The New Moon in Virgo on Monday is also trying to inspire you to find some form of personal self-expression that supports that which is unique and special about yourself. Something that you thoroughly relate to and identify with. And that includes people that support and inspire you to do so as well. Is there something new that you’ve been wanting to try, but hadn’t had the motivation? Something that sounded like fun, or looked intriguing? Use the New Moon on September 2nd/3rd to stretch yourself a little, and try something new. Learn a new skill, or further perfect one that you already have. Go out somewhere different, beyond your usual haunts. You’re not going to know if something fits your new and ever-evolving self or tastes until you try it on for size. A good affirmation for the New Moon in Virgo might be: When I am comfortable with myself, and who I am, everyone else will be comfortable with me as well.

Gemini

(4th House) Mercury is direct, and the world is attempting to return to normal once again. Or as normal as it can be with all else going on. One thing with Mercury now direct combined with the New Moon in Virgo, is that it feels like you are being given a green light to proceed. For Gemini, the New Moon in Virgo draws your attention to the basic foundations of your life: Home, Family, those people and things that support your emotional well-being, welcome you, and make you feel at home. It could feel as if elements of these are in the process of some sort of transitions. Or perhaps you are, and you are bringing everyone along for the ride. Even small changes in this weather can have remarkable effects on your mind and perspective. Virgo is a fastidious sign, great for clearing out the cobwebs, organizing and sprucing things up. If you’ve been planning any sort of changes at home, this is a good moon to work with. That can include reaching out and connecting with family members, or breaking bread with the people that matter most. The benefits of doing so will become all that much more evident, later on. Perhaps in even surprising ways. A good intention for the New Moon in Virgo might be: May I find, build or create a sanctuary that brings me a deeper sense of place, security, community and belonging.

Cancer

(3rd House) There are a few signs that will be especially sensitive to Pluto’s retrograde back to the sign of Capricorn this weekend. Cancer is one of them. Think of it as going through something of a final purification process. One that can even help you to make peace with yourself and others. In the mean time the New Moon in Virgo on Monday/Tuesday is a green light to proceed with the regular order of business: getting back to some sort of schedule, and readying yourself for the months ahead. This New Moon is also asking you to be open to the new in some way. There may be a few unexpected changes, but rather than allowing them to disrupt the routines that you are trying to establish, see if there is something new and different that you are needing to see or pay attention to. This could bring new information, or allow you to see something in a different way. You don’t necessarily need to accept it. But do be open to it. Even in your everyday environment, and the most ordinary encounters, there are opportunities to learn, even if they are also surprising. Make the intention with the New Moon on September 2nd/3rd to create the conditions for a less anxious outlook, by filling your mind this month with only the most positive thoughts and influences.

Leo

(2nd House) The New Moon in Virgo each year is often when you will find yourself reassessing your financial situation. All the more so now that Mercury is finally direct again. And this Moon is asking you to go a little further and perhaps even think outside of the box. Maybe even try doing things differently than you had before, or look at things in a different light. This may require you to stretch outside of your comfort zone a bit. But also note that with this New Moon, even small changes can have remarkable results. The New Moon in Virgo is really good for sorting through your priorities, and getting rid of the stuff that is not working, and was just cluttering up your life. Clearing out spaces then allows new and better things to come in and take their place. Revisiting your priorities, clearing out what no longer works, also gives you permission to invest your time, money and resources on those things that really will matter in the end. A good affirmation for the New Moon in Virgo therefore might be: Knowing what my true priorities are is key to understanding who I am.

Virgo

(1st House) The New Moon in Virgo is a time of renewal for you. Like a rebirth, you are given the opportunity to put your best foot forward at the beginning of a new year. If you were born between August 31st and September 5th, or have 8-14º of Virgo Rising, you will be most in tune to the New Moon as a harbinger for new beginnings. And now that Mercury is finally direct you are being given a green light to proceed with your plans for the upcoming year, and perhaps beyond that. Mercury will soon look like its moving forward again. This in turn will bring the feeling that the pieces of your life are finally able to come together. There may be a few twists and turns here and there, and maybe even a shift in plans. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself changing your mind about something. Take the momentum of the New Moon to look to the future, while being open to whatever alternatives and options are available to you. If you are anticipating any changes up ahead, use the next 5 months to adjust yourself to that idea. A good affirmation for the New Moon in Virgo, on September 2nd/3rd might be: Today is the first day of the rest of my life, therefore may I make the most of it that I can.

Libra

(12th House) Virgo season is a time of the year for Libra to withdraw, recoup their energy, and put the focus within. This is necessary in preparation for when the Sun enters your sign on September 22nd, which is a time of new beginnings for you. Meanwhile you might want to get some things in order, in order to prepare. There are often quite a few loose ends that need tying up at this time of year. And the New Moon in Virgo on September 2nd/3rd is a good time to make the intention to do so. It is also when you are being asked to sort through the past, make sense of the jumble that has accumulated within your own mind, and put things in order. Like unraveled skeins all tangled together, it is time to separate and then reorganize those threads of your life into new skeins. When you take care of all those loose ends that had been lying about, when you create order within your own mind, then you can rest assured that you have done all you can. Reorganizing your outer environment can be a metaphor for doing this important inner work. So don’t be surprised if you find yourself fussing about trying to fix this and that. Do also be prepared to be amazed by what you discover there. And give yourself permission to change your mind once or twice in the process. Doing this important work creates the conditions, for living a healthier, less anxious and more balanced life.

Scorpio

(11th House) Anais Nin once suggested that if we were to throw our dreams into space, “like a kite, you do not know what it may bring back… a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.” That is what the New Moon in Virgo is like for Scorpio. It is an opportunity to toss your dreams into space, or perhaps even try them on for size. The New Moon in Virgo is your wishing moon, and along with a stationing Uranus and Pluto returning to Capricorn to release the past, you are being asked to do so, in order to look more boldly towards the future. Whatever intentions, wishes, or dreams you may decide to throw into space with the New Moon on September 2nd/3rd, make them your own, and go where you are being called to go. It may even mean having to leave certain things behind, in order to embark on an adventure of your own making. But a bit of a change of pace, or even a change of venue, is just what you are needing in order to eventually get you where you need to be. The New Moon in Virgo also has an affinity with friends and groups you associate with, which when aligned with your own dreams, can bring you a boost of confidence. Therefore a good reminder for this New Moon might be that: When I surround myself with others who share similar interests, aspirations and hopes for the future, I find myself more motivated and inspired to achieve my dreams.

Sagittarius

(10th House) It is at this time of year that Sagittarius is looking and thinking about the future. What goals might you want to achieve? Where might you be one year from now? And although recently it may have felt like you were needing to step back and reassess your prospects, re-think some things, the New Moon is like a green light, giving you permission to now proceed. It could be that some recent information has helped to clarify the direction that you see yourself headed. And precisely what your possibilities could and should be moving forward. You may have to make a few adjustments, so be open to the idea of doing so. Sometimes these unexpected shifts can prove to be fortuitous in the end, freeing you up in unforeseen ways. So do create a plan, but also make exceptions along the way to accommodate the unexpected. The New Moon in Virgo on September 2nd/3rd is your moon to work with when creating a road map for the future. Therefore a good intention for this Moon might be: May I recognize and follow the best path forward, that will lead me to fulfill my ever-evolving potential.

Capricorn

(9th House) Capricorn will often find themselves looking forward to the future at this time of year, and exploring the means to get there. But with Pluto returning to Capricorn on Sunday, you may still be thinking of the future, while reflecting on the past and all of the events that have led you to this place in time. It could also feel as if there is some unfinished business that still needs tending to. So even as you are re-thinking what new credentials you might need, or whether or not you have the experience that you want in a certain area, you could also be feeling like there are certain loose ends that still need tying up once and for all. This is a really good Moon for seeking and/or receiving guidance and inspiration. This could come from some unexpected corner. If that is the case it could prove to be illuminating, therefore be open to seeing things in a new way.. And be flexible! There’s no telling what can unexpectedly arise in this weather. It could even change your whole perspective about something. The New Moon in Virgo can be something of a stickler for perfection. But rather than focusing on perfection, focus on improvement. Therefore with the New Moon on Monday, remind yourself to strive for and focus on those improvements that you would most like to make this year.

Aquarius

(8th House) This time of year is often a time when you are struggling to get a handle on your life and your prospects. It may feel like you are being inundated with the need to take care of practical considerations, file forms, take care of details, apply for insurance, stock up on necessities. It’s about being prepared for the future. But it is also a time of year in which you are being asked to take greater control over your own life in some way. All those practical things are great. But what’s more important with this New Moon that falls on September 2nd/3rd, are all the loose ends that need tying up from the past, so that you can more freely greet your future. This is not about returning to a past that is no longer relevant. This is about laying things to rest that are no longer helping you, and may be strewing obstacles in your path. Know, that once you have been given a glimpse into the future, there is no turning back again. You are merely going back to scour out the residue that had been left behind. Ultimately, the New Moon on Monday is trying to inspire you to rewrite the script, and look more boldly to the future. A good affirmation for this New Moon might be: Through eliminating, cleansing and purifying the past, I clear the way for positive growth and change.

Pisces

(7th House) The New Moon in Virgo is a time for Pisces to renew and revisit their partnerships. This could mean reinvesting in the ones you already have, and breathing new life into your closest alliances. It could also be about beginning new partnerships, or beginning a new project that requires a certain amount of collaboration with others. Look for those who have certain skill sets or experience that will fill in some of the missing spaces of your life. But perhaps one of the more significant benefits of the New Moon in Virgo is the opportunity to look at a situation from another’s perspective. It can open you up to possibilities that you might not have even considered otherwise. Be open to alternative ideas. There’s no telling what can be learned under the influence of the New Moon in Virgo on Monday/Tuesday. Also be open to receiving, learning and being inspired by others. There’s no telling where that will bring you. Therefore this will also be a good week to seek advice or guidance; to consult an expert; go on an interview; or be an advisor for others. A good intention for this Moon might be: May I attract and recognize the best sorts of people who will be walking with me on my path.
