Astro-Forecast: Virgo New Moon🌙
Disclaimer: This is a general overview. I cannot cover everything and chose to focus on the most relevant info for each sign!
Date: August 27/28- depending on where you live in the world.
This new moon gives us the chance to focus on:
Our mental and physical health, how we organize our tasks to get things done, how we can be of service to others, and our habits.
This moon will be squared by the Gemini Mars and might generate tension if you want to start something new. How this plays out depends on your rising sign (SEE BELOW).
It is also important to manifest using pen and paper during this time because the earthy moon emphasizes the mechanical act which puts our desires (moon) on paper (mercurial quality of Virgo) through physical labor (earth).
On to the rising signs/placements:
This new moon will be activating your 6th house of health, debt, service, and habits. Since Mars, your ruling planet will be making a square to this new moon, I anticipate that this might cause fighting in the home or minor physical illness that informs you of your lack of proper habits to take care of your health. I've noticed a lot of Aries risings are neglecting their health and this new moon might be a warning that you need to be more careful. It can also mean that you might suddenly need to make repairs to your devices or car, or that you need to pay a debt.
In your 5th house, this new moon is telling you to start a new hobby and make sure you can monetize it too! (Mars in the 2nd house for 7 months). Or it could indicate that you might be writing a book or becoming an author. You might gain public recognition for certain efforts- mostly literary or anything text-based. Knowing that not all Taurus placements will suddenly become famous, I'd say this might manifest in a good effort to write something or express yourself somehow in a way that makes you feel proud of yourself!
As a mutable sign, you'll be more impacted by this new moon. It'll be happening in your 4th house squaring Mars in your 1st house. It'll be a tumultuous yet productive time for you. You will be asserting yourself in the home and taking up the space that you deserve. This indicates to me that some of you have been feeling that you don't have a space for yourselves and you will be making it clear that no one gets to mess with that. Asserting yourself now will be fruitful for you, and I encourage you to do so.
With this new moon activating your 3rd house, generally a lucky house, and with the Mars transit activating your 12th house, things can get a bit tricky. This is looking like it might cause a lot of emotional turmoil to rise to the surface (your mind - 3H), and the best advice that I can provide is to use physical activity as a way to release negative emotions. The reason I say that this is an emotional time is that you also have Mercury transitting your 4th house. Use this energy to make changes in the home to make it a safer, more comfortable, and secure space for you.
Leos, this new moon is happening in your 2nd house of finances, luxury, security, and sensuality, giving you the chance to think of what you want financially and how you can actually make that happen. With Venus in Leo, there is an amplified focus on Venusian elements in your life. Use this energy boost to plan for how you want to get financial gain and be mindful of any collaborations that might emerge during this time because they can become valuable partnerships or friendships in the future. You might find a way to make passive income even though that idea might be opposed by others at first. Caution: relationship tensions are highly likely but can be resolved.
Happening in your 1st house, you are the main character! The things that you've been thinking about throughout the last three weeks of August will have you planting seeds pertaining to your career. Initially, you might need to take bold action or put yourself out there, which might make you feel stressed at first, but it will lead to beautiful outcomes as the moon transits later degrees and forms. an earth grand trine involving Pluto and Uranus on the 28th. Though Pluto and Uranus aren't the most positive of planets, the grand trine allows your manifestations and efforts to be supported as long as you make sure you PLAN for the desired outcomes especially if it relates to your career, education/ travels, or hobbies. You've had a tough year but now you get the chance to see your efforts materialize as the rest of the year unfolds!
Occurring in your 12th house, this new moon will be a bit more internal for you. It might unlock your true desires for your future plans, your vision, and your inspiration to keep moving forward in life (or friendships). It activates doubts or questions about what you plan to do in terms of your higher education, spiritual development, travels, and your guiding principles. For some people, you might think of changing your major! Or, you might consider going on a retreat to rethink some life choices. On another note, this new moon will really be causing some conflict with Mars transiting your 9th house and casting doubt over the validity of your recent choices. You will have the opportunity to make amends pertaining to that matter in the next 7th months as Mars transits Gemini and the effects of the new moon gradually unfold.
Scorpios, this moon is focused on your long-term goals, vision for the future, desire for progress, friendships, humanitarian aspirations, technology, community-wide communication, social media, etc. It's a good time to check your friendships as you've been feeling a sense of loss because of a particular one of your friends or a group. You might choose to cut ties, fight, or simply ignore the problem and allow it to come to bite you when Mercury goes retrograde. Focus on healing, self-reflection, and journaling because your water houses are going to be most active (4th, 8th, and 12th house) which adds a sense of finality, nostalgia, and loss to the situation. Knowing you, you've had a lot to deal with and these changes are necessary to purge all the bad influences from your life.
During this new moon, there will be a focus on your career developments which will be squared by your relationship, and long-term commitments/promises. So, if you have plans to develop your career, they will be impeded by a long-term social commitment and you will need to make a choice that'll impact the next 7 months. The majority of you will be choosing to focus on your career and will acknowledge that this commitment was put in your life to teach relevant skills which would help your career down the line. Rest assured that things will be working out after a bit of a tense period. Just like Pisces, you are encouraged to merely observe and let the facts come to you instead of focusing too much on the principle of how things are playing out.
This new moon is going to impact your 9th house. I suspect that it is part of a broader struggle you've had with your living circumstances and your sense of privacy. You might be reconsidering your major, or you might be considering relocating to facilitate your learning experience. This also indicates to me that you are planting seeds and educating yourself for the next 6 months or 1.5 years to reach a long-term goal related to travel, higher education, coaching, tutoring, publishing, international relations and affairs, international trade, or philosophy. This is a career-focused new moon with numerous decisions to be made. Plan accordingly and make sure that when the earth grand trine happens the following day, you are ready to release emotional baggage and limiting beliefs that you've let fester for too long.
Much of a similar message to Capricorns is going to be relevant in your case as well. However, you need to release the emotional baggage you've held on to as a result of the harsh transits you've faced this year. Your health has suffered and you have distracted yourself through overindulgence in some cases. This new moon is telling you to focus on your mental health, and settle any debts (financial, emotional, moral) with yourself and others so that you can make the most of this transit.
A 7th house new moon tells me that you might enter a new phase in your relationship. You might resolve a conflict early on (Mars). This new moon also boosts your ability to socialize for the sake of getting a job or interview! With Neptune opposing this new moon and mars squaring it, I'd say that it'll be a bit of a tough one for you but it will illuminate lots of things that you have been wondering about for some time now. Stay indoors and observe. You're going to gain clarity.
Thank you for reading. My DMs are open for inquiries and feedback/criticism is always appreciated.
