The qualities of Virgo encourage her to be steady and sensible yet flexible when the need arises…
Virgo sees detail everywhere, all those little things that are so incredibly important to the smooth running of a home or a business, Virgo is onto them… However, because she craves perfection she can be overly critical not only of others but of herself too… this can push Virgo’s to work harder and longer then some of the other signs, but may also create upset as nothing may seem good enough…
Happy to help and assist others, Virgo people are happiest when they feel needed and are kept busy, they have a fabulous down to earth, logical outlook on life and can put things in perspective for others… Great at trouble shooting..
Looking after one’s self through diet and exercise may be high on the agenda.
Virgo’s are advised to watch for a tendency to worry, especially over health issues, or for a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills. ;)
Many Virgo’s can be found working in the health field.
Mercury is the planet of communications and technology, he is what makes us think. He is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini
Virgo is the sign of the zodiac that sees the finer details, the ones others miss. They are the glue that holds us together on an administrative level. They like to be organized, although it may not seem like that on some days.
Because Virgo sees all the smaller details that the rest of us miss… she can become anxious or worried about all and anything going on around her. Which means some of us may become overwhelmed with everything. Taking one thing at time, asking for help and advice from trusted loved ones can help to stem the flow of thoughts, helping to clam the worry.
Communications regarding health and well-being may be on the table and should progress well.
Time to get ourselves in order, start an exercise and healthy eating regime. Exercise, a good diet and proper sleep is a sure way of keeping anxiety and worry at bay…
Getting things done at work maybe on the top of the list for us.. yet in our haste to accomplish, we could miss out on the bigger picture… Check and re-check your work before deciding it’s done.
Job searches may go well for those who have other favorable circumstances working for them.
Every one will feel the effects of this event, however those with the following influences in their charts will feel it the most, along with folks who have a strong Pisces chart influence.
Mercury in Virgo
Mercury in Gemini
Mercury in the 6th house
Sun in Virgo
Moon in Virgo

What does it all mean?
Virgo is 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 other’s 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.

Got a Question, send it along to us, we will try our best to source out an answer for you…
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-of-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon…
Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

Date: August 15: He will remain retrograde for the rest of the year.
Time: @ 10:25 am (ET) @ 7:25 am (PT)
Sign: Taurus
While this astrological “event” will have a slight effect on all of us, it will have a stronger, and longer lasting effect on those who have the following in their charts:
Sun in Aquarius
Uranus in Aquarius
Ascendant in Aquarius
Mid-heaven in Aquarius
Uranus in 2nd or 11th house
Uranus in Taurus
Sun in Scorpio (lesser effect)
Sun in Taurus (lesser effect)
Sun in Leo (lesser effect)
Uranus in Leo or Scorpio (lessor effect)
Any aspects to Uranus
What does it all mean?
Uranus is the planet of shock, change and rebellion. He rules Aquarius.
Retrograde, Uranus “appears” to be going backwards from the earth’s perspective. A good time to re-do, re-invent and/or re-assess.
Taurus is about material and emotional security… She is ruled by Venus… She takes her time and can have oodles of patience, but she has her limits…
Some folks could feel slightly off kilter, as Uranus pushes us towards taking chances, making changes and moving on with our lives… Taurus on the other hand, may prefer to stay just where she is and let “nature take its course”
Changes may be on the horizon, especially regarding material possession and financial security…
While changes may seem to be unexpected, they may have been brewing for a while
It can be a good time to act on ideas that have been in the making,
We have a better chance of “seeing outside of the box”… lets open up our eyes and our minds to new thoughts, opinions and solutions
Erratic and or rebellious behavior may be noted in some partners… likely not harmful, however, probably highly surprising
Restlessness in some relationships or some level of anxiety/stress relating to finances and partnerships if new budgets and financial planning is on the agenda…
Feeling bored with, or no longing connected to how we make our money.
New relationships can happen, but keep in mind, you may be attracted to the uniqueness of the person/situation and may gloss over less desirable traits… are you looking for a long-term or short-term relationship? Unions happening now have a higher chance of being short-lived.
Relationship/Partnership break ups, separations and divorce’s can happen now.
Finances may be slim, extra or up and down… For those who like to spend, and the budget is tight, it’s best to put a hold on the funds that you have, until things get brighter… the urge to spend could be strong…as could the urge to save…. It will all depend on the individual chart… A strong Taurus will likely prompt savings, where as a strong Aquarius may prompt a rebellious or a “devil-may-care attitude” towards money.
Void-of-Course: August 16 @ 7:59 pm (ET) @ 4:59 pm (PT) To Moon in Leo on the 16th (PT) 17th (ET): Cancer can be a productive v/c moon…
Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now.
We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
Cooking may be fun to do now, so go ahead and try out that new recipe
The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”.
Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off…
It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..
