New Moon of Vitality
The new moon in earthy Virgo recalls the efficiency of nature, which often organizes itself so that everything gets used. But when accumulation does occur, nature settles and compresses it, or breaks it down and scatters it to the wind. To echo nature’s process and clear that which is of little use will bring a surge of vitality.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Lately, it seems like every time someone has to take one for the team, that someone is you. You’re willing to sacrifice for the good of all, but it’s unwise to do this in a group where no one else will. Stand up for yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stress will be significantly reduced by your stellar attitude. You won’t see things you have to do; you’ll see things you get to do. As for tedious work, you’ll either turn it into something marvelous or you’ll turn it loose.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be a guardian and protector. Wear your superhero best — whatever is your equivalent to a costume and cape. Whether it’s a suit coat or lucky shoes, it will inspire your confidence and the trust of others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll luck into the right-sized challenge — one that’s interesting, novel, and not too hard — and eventually get into the groove that lets you lose yourself in total engagement with the task at hand.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Facts aren’t knowledge. Access to information is easy but it’s the organization and application that will move you forward. You’ll get the hands-on experience you need to make a training process complete.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A sense of freedom rules the day. It’s like you’re flying over your life, and you can see it all with the clarity of a bird’s eye from a perspective showing you more options than you ever knew you had.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Think about the best praise you’ve ever received. You’ll soon be in a position to offer encouragement and feedback. Generic comments won’t do. The gift of specificity can make someone feel loved and respected.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s not what you say, it’s the way you say it that makes or breaks your message. You’ll think carefully about your intent and relay it in as clear a manner as possible. The result will be inspired.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do you have the nagging feeling that you’re still not using your talents to their greatest extent? You’ll be happier when a challenge is a good fit for you, causing your native capacities to rise up and meet the moment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today it doesn’t matter what you choose, it only matters that you chose. You can make it easy on yourself by investigating the choices of those you admire and following suit. One decision will move everything forward.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll navigate past the obstacles by leveraging your exceptional skills. Your knack for discovering simple compromises and swiftly implementing adjustments will come into play.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re definitely being persuaded into a choice, but pinch yourself awake and you’ll remember that you still have options. You’re most powerful when you remind yourself that you’re in a position to take it or leave it.
