The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting New Moon in Virgo August 2019 & Mercury in Virgo

• Virgois all about the details, so be prepared to see to them or at least have someone else see to them for you, you will feel better 🙂
• Try not to worry about things you have no control over, especially things that might not ever happen… Because Virgo “see’s” all the details others miss, it’s hard for her not to worry… 
• It’s good to keep busy during a Virgo moon, make lists, tidy, organize, plan, find solutions to problems… a lot can get done now
• Virgo can be more critical than the rest of the zodiac, but only because she so need things to be “correct” or “perfect”. Try to give yourself and others a break over the next couple of days. If you are an employer, be prepared that tasks may not get completed exactly they way you had expected.
• In the 11th house: If you have been thinking about volunteering, now is the perfect time for you to start… we can feel kinder towards our community and those who have less then us… It is also the perfect time to get your head into a beloved hobby, and to hang out with friends… 
• This moon’s influence is positive for: Breaking “bad” habits, Canning foods, Fixing cars, Hair cut (for less growth), sending mail or starting a diet.
• This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  
• Moon in Virgo
• Sun in Virgo
• Ascendant in Virgo
• Mid-heaven in Virgo
• Moon in 6th and or 11th house
• Any aspects to the Moon, Venus or Mercury.
• And those who have a strong Piscean placement in their charts..

NEW MOON occurs on Friday August 30th @ 6:37 am (ET) and @ 3:37 am (PT).

The New moon is traditionally known as a good time to begin a new project, job or relationship…. Saturday the 31st is likely the best time for new endeavors under this new moon…. Check that other factor are favorable before committing to any new situations, especially if they are to be long term… Situations that involve communications, transportation and technology are likely to be the most successful…. 

Take care not to be too critical, towards the self and others…

It can be a very productive time at work, this includes community work, volunteer work, vocational work and hobbies… 

Because the new moon is the sign of Virgo, Mercury is in the sign of Virgo and the Sun is in the sign of Virgo… This could be a great time for new writing material… so if you are a writer, have wanted to be writer or just need to get pen to paper for whatever reason… 🙂 

Mercury moves into the sign of Virgo until 14th of September

• Mercury is the planet of communications, technology and transportation… He rules Virgo and Gemini
• Virgo pays close attention to details, works hard and does what is needed… Virgo is also critical of themselves and others. 
• Mercury is comfortable in Virgo, as he rules her… Details at work will take precedence over other things making this a good time to get ahead in work projects… However, it is easy to get so caught up in the details, busy taking care of the little things, that we can miss out on the bigger picture…. take a step back and look up and around once in a while… 🙂
• Exercise and a healthy diet will help to take care of any of nervous tension or anxiety, which can be an issue for some folks when Mercury visits with Virgo… 
• If you have been thinking of going on a job search, and if other factors “agree” as Mercury visits with Virgo, it can be an excellent time to proceed…. as is reviewing and updating personal career/work/vocational goals. 
• Team work should proceed smoothly, making this an excellent time to delegate work, and/or to get involved in community events… 
• Friends and socializing can help to release pent up energy/emotions, and is highly recommended.
