Daily Horoscope: New Moon in Virgo, August 27, 2022

New Moon in Virgo, Saturday, August 27th, highlights making plans, seeking connections, and taking actions centered around the mundane but necessary steps that will lead to your future success as the moon joins the sun in Virgo, and together, they form a square aspect with Mars in Gemini. Virgo is the mutable Mercury ruled earth sign associated with the 6th house of service to others, the “daily job”, health, exercise, diet, nutrition – how you use your body and the daily chores and purposeful tasks you do which enable you to meet your physical needs. Because Mercury rules Virgo, pragmatic discernment and the ability to observe, analyze, sort, prioritize, and utilize is the super power this New Moon brings you. Virgo determines the who, what, when, why, where, and how of solving a problem or moving a project forward. The New Moon in Virgo at the close of the month signals the beginning of the harvest time of the late summer and early fall, and the preparation required to endure the long months of winter. You may not have to put up food and chop wood in the weeks ahead, but it is a good time to look at your health, living situation, or work which sustains you with a critical eye to determine what you can do to improve things. Nothing is ever quite perfect – and there is always room for improvement – under the influence of a Virgo lunar transit, but the means to make things better is usually found when sought. The seeking of alternate ways to make something more perfect, or to bring a dream into real time through the help of others, is present now through a Grand Trine aspect pattern involving Mars in Gemini, Mercury in Libra, and Pluto in Capricon. Mars sextile to Jupiter in Aries, while Jupiter opposes Mercury, makes you aware that although you might not always be in agreement with others, you still need other people. The modesty, humility, and good manners brought by the Virgo New Moon may make it easier for people to get along with each other for the next two weeks if solving a problem or reaching a goal takes priority over differences in personality or tastes.
