Virgo
Born between: August 23rd - Sep 22nd
Dedicated and accomplished are the best ways to describe a Virgo as they have profound morals and are often initiative. However those born under the Virgo star sign need to take extra care to control their temper and be patient.
The Moon in Capricorn is always good for Virgo, as it sparks up your confidence and gives you a certain je ne sais quoi. Today there is a beautiful aspect to solid Saturn in your sign, helping your inner stability. You can make good progress and find a way to understand and correct your self-image, or any other personal flaws you think you have. We all need to realise that our unhappiness comes from blaming the environment, when really it's a matter of our attitude to events, rather than the events in themselves. Fortunate colours are blue sapphire and antique white. Lucky numbers are 14 and 21.
Give voice to your creative expression as the Moon illuminates your fifth house of creativity; immerse yourself in a favourite pastime or hobby. This is also a wonderful day for sports, so get outside if the weather is nice. Those of you with children should make time for them. Instead of trying to relate to them from an adult's perspective, remember what it was like when you were that age. Beneficial colours are indian yellow and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 1 and 5.
Find something to celebrate as the Moon dives into your fifth house of pleasure and creativity today; the fact that you made it through another week is reason to cheer. Indulge in something that helps rejuvenate and refresh your spirit. Stay out of arguments, especially over money. If you don't have that much cash to spend, why not rent a comedy and make some popcorn? Auspicious colours are periwinkle blue and mint green. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10.
The Virgin might seem a bit more like a steamroller as the Moon and Saturn clash in your fourth house. God help anyone who stands in your way today! Difficulties at home or with a parent may arise, so try to use this energy constructively. Instead of having an all out war, Venus and Mercury advise you to hold an Indian-style pow-wow, complete with peace pipe. Lay everything out on the table and work for compromise. Beneficial colours are celadon green and antique silver. Lucky numbers are 25 and 42.
The considerate Moon, artistic Venus and practical Mercury inspire housecleaning today; give what you don't need to charity and recycle whatever you can. This will not only rid your home of excess clutter, but it will also help you to clear your mind. Learning to let go of what you don't need is a life-changing process. Practical colours are beige and emerald. Lucky numbers are 2 and 12.
With the Scorpio Moon lighting up your third house of communication, you'll want to speak up about your feelings and opinions. You'll be communicating your beliefs as the Moon rolls through Scorpio. But as Venus swings dangerously into the uncharted waters of your subconscious, secret passions are roused. Be discreet however, as friendships can be damaged by the wrong words. Propitious colours are yellow sapphire and coppery blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 21.
As Mercury, your life-ruler, enters Libra, most of the paperwork, writing, meetings and discussions in weeks ahead will involve finances. Transacting business, increasing income, conserving monetary assets, monitoring expenditures, and comparison shopping should be on your agenda. Circumstances may require you to discuss, defend or reassess your priorities and values. Mars entering Cancer will raise concerns over just what is or is not making you happy. You are stimulated to go after what you want, or get rid of what you don't want. Communicative colours are ivory and azure. Lucky numbers are 23 and 41.
Your thoughts and ideas are especially penetrating as the Moon moves into intense Scorpio and your third house of communication. Express yourself with care as you may unintentionally hurt someone's feelings with your sharp, critical analysis. Sure, you may be right, but if you don't approach each situation with diplomacy, no one will listen. Beneficial colours are pale yellow and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 23 and 41.
Congratulate yourself for a job well done, even if no one else notices. Your ingenuity and efficiency are exactly what the world needs, but unfortunately you are often overlooked in favour of flashy productions. Treat yourself to a massage or a long, warm bubblebath this evening. Pledge to serve only yourself as you rest and rejuvenate this evening. Advantageous colours are sage green and desert sand. Lucky numbers are 11 and 29.
You can get a great deal accomplished through careful planning today. Once the Moon moves into balanced Libra and your second house of personal finances, you'll want to know where you stand at the bank. Take a good look at what you owe and what you have incoming so that you may prepare accordingly. You'll have the opportunity to increase your income in coming weeks with the Sun in Virgo brightening your prospects. Auspicious colours are chestnut brown and dollar green. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.
It shouldn't be too hard to present a happy face to the world while the Moon is passing through your first house of personality. A new phase of love and friendship begins now, as the Nodes change sign, so people will be drawn to you as you exude a loving and nurturing nature. Don't be afraid to reach out. You need to maintain your close relationships as you may be under intense stress later in the month. Favourable colours are ruby red and crisp white. Lucky numbers are 1 and 19.
If you are feeling nervous and highly strung today it's probably because the New Moon is being jarred by erratic Uranus and pummelled by Jupiter and Neptune. Avoid situations that will set you on edge; look at this as a necessary time of seclusion. It is important to evaluate your work and health situation so that you can spend the next few weeks making the best decisions possible. You'll have opportunities to improve your life in the coming days, so get ready! Favourable colours are sunset pink and violet. Lucky numbers are 21 and 39.
Try to remain centred as the Moon journeys through your twelfth house of subconscious matters. By getting in touch with your deepest thoughts and feelings, you will be able to break negative habit patterns. There's a good chance that much of what's been troubling you lately has more to do with the past, than the present. Beneficial colours are coral and plum. Lucky numbers are 30 and 48.
It's time to enjoy some peace as the Moon enters Leo and your house of secrets and solitude. Silence is often necessary to hear that small, still voice within, so turn off the television tonight and spend some time enjoying the natural sounds of the evening. If you live in the city, try playing a recording of natural sounds to soothe your soul. Beneficial colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
The Cancer Moon helps you to be footloose and carefree, Virgo, and with wise Mercury conjunct practical Saturn in your sign, you can combine business with pleasure, especially if you can get away. If you possibly can, leave work for tomorrow and enjoy the company of your favourite people. Better yet, gather everyone together for team sports or volunteer work, as today's aspects favour group efforts. Advantageous colours are blue grey and violet. Lucky numbers are 1 and 33.
Spending time with friends and family will be enjoyable as the Moon enters cosy Cancer today. Surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself; life is too short to waste time on people whom you can never satisfy. If you are far from your family of origin, choose your own personal tribe. Blood ties are not a requirement. Auspicious colours are electric blue and purple mist. Lucky numbers are 11 and 20.
You can make significant progress in your career or in your job today as the Moon blends well with powerful Jupiter. Genius is simply being able to look at a problem from new angles, so apply a little of your own superior brainpower to an old problem today. You'd be surprised at how simple the answers to some complicated problems can be. Beneficial colours are silver and cream. Lucky numbers are 6 and 10.
The Gemini Moon places the spotlight on your career and reputation; most Virgos are very discriminating and should have nothing but good coming their way during this time. However, many of you will be thrown a curve or two, so be prepared to meet the challenge. Your private life may be disturbed as the Moon shines her light on your public life. Don't be afraid to tell people that your personal life is none of their business. Favourable colours are harris tweed and basic black. Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.
Adventure and intellectual growth are on today's menu for curious Virgins; try something different as the Moon moves through your ninth house of travel and higher learning.

Beneficial colours are eggplant and champagne. Lucky numbers are 18 and 27.
Clear thinking is needed today, dear Virgo, as you need to be on your toes in order to take advantage of the opportunities. Some of these are likely to be hidden, or concealed, especially if you are interested in life's mysteries, sex, death and taxes. If you have been suffering problems at work, or in your health, some fine, imaginative solutions should present themselves. Relationships with partners are likely to be problematic. Advantageous colours are foxglove and beige. Lucky numbers are 8 and 22.
You can expect your psychic energy to reach a monthly peak, Virgo. Some of you may have prophetic dreams or dreams which reveal events from a past life. Keep pen and paper ready to jot down what you remember upon awakening. Mars and Saturn clash, so avoid conflict with males in the career environment. Don't push your own authority too far, as disputes may backfire. Advantageous colours are scarlet and raven black. Lucky numbers are 36 and 45.
The changing Moon enters your eighth house of sex, money and power, shining gentle light on the darkest corners in your life.

Enjoy giving and receiving as the Moon illuminates your seventh house of marriage and partnerships; even if your only companion is a pet, you can still appreciate the bond that love creates.

Fortunate colours are turquoise and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 34 and 43.
With the sensitive Moon passing through your seventh house of marriage and partnerships, you may need to be open to compromise.

Be sure to eat right and get plenty of sleep as the Full Moon wanes... co-workers may still be edgy, so handle these relationships with care. Dreams you have tonight may be very revealing, so go to sleep with pencil and paper by your bedside. You could wake up with answers to the problems that plague you. Auspicious colours are butter yellow and fern green. Lucky numbers are 16 and 39.
Some of you might not be feeling at your best this morning as tonight's Full Moon, the third eclipse in this cycle, occurs in your sixth house of health and service; it may be best to keep a low profile as co-workers and stress may make you nervous. You'll need to make your inner and outer well-being a priority today. If you have not yet begun a daily practice of Yoga or Tai Chi, now is a good time to start. More on the Lunar Eclipse! Advantageous colours are navy blue and snow white. Lucky numbers are 6 and 12.
The changing Moon enters your sixth house of health and service, reminding you to take care of yourself so that you may continue to serve others.

Beneficial colours are midnight blue and kiwi green. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
Enjoy all the sweetness life has to offer as the Moon dances through your fifth house of pleasure; find a way to indulge yourself this afternoon.

Lucky numbers are 10 and 24.
It's a good day to communicate with your beloved, as wise Mercury, your planetary ruler, enters your sign in a lovely aspect to the Moon. Your thoughts and discussions, however, tend to be focused on you. Circumstances may require others to make some sort of written review of your personality or performance, or speak to you about certain aspects of your appearance and personality. Mercury will be in Virgo until August 25, so use this time to hone your wit and sharpen your repartee! Auspicious colours are lilac and tan. Lucky numbers are 1 and 5.
You can expect good times with good friends as lovely Venus spends most of August in your eleventh house of friendship; this is a great time to join clubs and associations. Although you will want to keep your opinions to yourself until Mercury enters Virgo tomorrow, this is a good time to get to know others by listening carefully to what they say and how they say it. Pleasant colours are royal blue and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 11 and 33.
