Aries: The new moon in Virgo on August 27 has you shifting your energy towards what’s truly best for you. You are more intent on making responsible decisions and getting things done, and while it doesn’t sound like much fun at first, you realize it can relieve a ton of preventable anxiety. Let’s face it, Virgo season is not the sauciest or sexiest time of year for you (or anyone else for that matter) but it is an ideal time to find out what works and what doesn’t in the grand scheme of home, work, health, and life. You’re thinking ahead these days, helping yourself and then helping others with what you have built. You close out August in a tidy fashion.
Taurus: The new moon in Virgo on August 27 inspires you to seize opportunities and to make big changes. Your pride may have previously been preventing you from taking advantage of certain helpful things, and you may feel at odds with yourself this week. It can be hard to accept change or to feel that you deserve the good things that you truly want to pursue. In the love department you may be getting a fresh view of an old relationship and seeing new dynamics between you and them and realizing new potential and subtle charms within that person as they change, grow. Allow time to do its thing. If you are flying solo you may be looking for a new fling and you might also be working on getting better at expressing your feelings more precisely.

Channel all this energy into something good.

Virgo: This week you are feeling more open minded and you are growing into a new area in life. Perhaps you are challenging your old beliefs or deepening your philosophy or spirituality. Uranus retrograde in your ninth house can highlight your need to mentally expand and explore.

Be cautious not to act from a place of tension or anxiety, as impatience may be on the rise. If you move and act from your center with confidence, there can be incredible breakthroughs as we close out the month of August. The keyword of Virgo season is communication.
Pisces: Passionate energy is directed towards your relationships and your desires this week, beneath the pensive darkness of the new moon in Virgo on August 27.

You feel connection and a similarity with others in unexpected ways, you see them in you and yourself within them. Take care to channel this excess of energy in constructive ways and to not rush things. You are inspired to build your romantic connections and to work on artistic endeavors at this time. Identify your goals first and then proceed.
