New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh 

Reality’s about to kick in.  When we wake up tomorrow morning, the Sun will have joined Venus in Virgo, bringing more order to our days and duties.  With Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, still in retrograde through the weekend, it’s a good time to just take a step back and get organized.  Finish up old projects and make space for some new ones, but don’t get them started just yet.  And don’t be too hard on yourself.  A square between Mars and Saturn midweek will be serving some stress to all of us, just remember the antidote to Saturn is always hard work.  The Moon will be void all day long on Thursday the 25^th – if you’re looking for a good day to take some time off, that’s the one.  Now for the good news:  Mercury returns to forward motion on Friday afternoon, helping the rest of us move forward as well.  Sunday night’s New Moon in Virgo makes the entire week perfect for making intentions that have anything to do with health or work, and a week from today is the time to put those intentions in motion.  The more you can do for others this week, the luckier you’ll be.  Happy New Moon!

ARIES

Confronting authority.  Watch out for a situation that pushes you to prove all the ways you’ve been improving.  Someone higher up could be extra impressed with your persistence – especially when they see how much your heart is in it.  You’ve been taking some big steps but remember:  they’re about changing things for the better for yourself more than they are about appeasing absolutely anyone else. Showing other people what you’re capable of is just one of the pleasant side effects.  Keep moving forward.  You’re about to become that much stronger. 

TAURUS 

As more planets move into Virgo, a fellow earth sign, you’ll be finding more opportunities to really prove your power to yourself, as well as the rest of us.  This week brings situations where you’re able to show off your very strongest side.  That’s not to say there won’t be challenges, but they won’t be nearly as hard as you’ve been anticipating.  You’ve been trying to find the easy way out of a certain situation but right now, you’ve got everything you need to create some genuine closure.  Face the music - you’ll be glad you did. 

GEMINI

There are some things that you want to change for sure – but watch out for trying to erase parts of your personality that are still completely useful, even beneficial.  Think about where you’re uncomfortable with yourself, and try to find the reasons behind that.  Chances are, these traits can be used in positive, creative ways –as long as you can accept them. Sunday’s New Moon in Virgo is the perfect time to set some new intentions about learning to work with everything you’ve got.  Your luck changes for the better by the end of the week. 

CANCER

Make some big intentions.  Sunday’s New Moon is supporting every effort to expand your experience, and you’re in a place right now where you’re willing to take some extra risks.  The next several weeks will have you focusing on what you really want, whether it offers security or not.  This is especially true in artistic and romantic situations.  You’re about to see how taking some chances can sometimes bring more permanence than you were hoping for in the first place.  The Moon goes void in your sign all day Thursday: watch out for serendipity. 

LEO

Now that the Sun is moving on to Virgo, it’s a good time to start taking inventory. The more you can be aware of what you’ve got, both material and within yourself, the more you’ll be able to find the positive side of any situation you’re confronted with.  This summer has been challenging enough that you sometimes feel like just hiding away.  But right now, really participating in what’s going on around you is the fastest, most productive way to learn exactly how much you have to share with the rest of us. 

VIRGO

You’re in for a very interesting year.  Mars, that planet that brings assertive energy, will be in your sign for eight months starting this November.  This will bring you endless gumption and resourcefulness but also some adjustments in the way you use these things.  If you do it right, you’ll have the ability to get people on board with the causes you believe in and start working toward improving the circumstances for everybody involved.  Your Mercury ruler returns to forward motion just before Sunday’s New Moon in your sign. Happy Birthday!

LIBRA

Hold your head up high, you’re back to making some adjustments.  Think of all you’ve been through so far, keep moving through what’s going on this time around, and you’ll acclimate sooner than you’re expecting to.  The other option involves thinking in circles and using behaviors that you’ve already learned will just lead to feeling trapped. If you can take a step back this week and see where you might be repeating old patterns (especially in your closest relationships), you’ll be that much more likely to avoid them.       

SCORPIO

You’re in a place right now where you’re being enabled to use everything you’ve got to prepare for absolutely anything that might be coming next.  Sunday’s New Moon in a friendly earth sign is the perfect opportunity to renew your dedication to finding new possibilities in your everyday world.  The more you can look beyond what you already know for sure, the more you’ll be finding new avenues of expression all over the place.  Watch for the things that surface this week to bring you some very big adventures in the coming days. 

SAGITTARIUS 

Keep setting a good example.  You’re better than most at making the very best of what you’ve been given, even when things get challenging.  You know this, but it can sometimes be easier to remember your optimistic nature than actually put it to work – especially in darker times.  Now is the time to focus on staying positive.  Your Jupiter ruler turns retrograde next week, making it that much more important keep in touch with yourself.  The more you understand what you’re going through, the better you’ll be able to help the rest of us. 

CAPRICORN

A situation you’ve been dealing with for a while now is about to come to a head this week. The good news is, that’s exactly how you’re going to get some closure.  Sunday’s New Moon in a fellow earth sign is great for shaping intentions that focus on making the most of what you’ve experienced and learned from this challenge.  The more you’re able to do that, the more you’ll be ready and willing to take certain risks that get you exactly where you know you want to be. 

AQUARIUS

Pay attention to your dreams.  Something beneath the surface is trying very loudly to make itself heard.  Look closer, and you’ll find a better way to deal with your current situation instead of just reacting to it.  Use the week to do as much for other people as you can muster.  Small kindnesses will be helping you see something in yourself that’s been in the background for far too long.  The more you can begin to master that side right now, the more you’ll be able to use it when it really counts.      

PISCES

Sunday’s New Moon in your opposite sign is the perfect opportunity to remember exactly who you are and where you’re trying to go.  Clarify for yourself the steps you need to take and the situation won’t seem nearly as intimidating as it does right now.  As much as it seems like other people might be in a better place, financially or otherwise, you have a passion for improving your own position that’s way bigger than your current circumstances.  Clear the fog and you’ll be able to find some concrete ways to start moving forward again.
