New Moon in Virgo is Thursday, September 10 at 10:27 PM Central time.
This is a creative new moon where it is important to look forward instead of backward and take charge of what you wish to improve, reset, reorganize and refine in your life in order to be more practical and productive. It may require you to go inward and ask the questions of yourself about what is important and what needs sorting and simplifying. A good time to reflect on your goals and clarify your priorities with a commitment to implement whatever change is needed. This can be an extremely productive time as long as you keep your ambitions reasonable, practical and detail oriented.

There is an aspect to this new moon that can cause the unexpected especially around relationships and change. Always focus on the positive and see any change or upheaval as not accidental. Everything happens for a reason and sometimes the reset that was set into motion, such as with the last eclipses, takes some time to manifest itself. Be patient, stay out of martyrdom and take one step at a time if you feel overwhelmed.

The Full Moon in Pisces with a partial Lunar Eclipse is Thursday, August 27th at 11:18 PM Central time.

This powerful full moon requires that you keep an open mind and stay flexible as anything can happen, turning things upside down if that is what is necessary to support change. Sometimes upside down is exactly what you need. Stay out of judgment and be as neutral as you can especially around other peoples reactivity and emotional triggers. This full moon carries a theme of freedom and rebellious tendencies. Be proactive with this and free yourself from the burden of an old unrealized dream, a bad habit, limited thinking, or any self judgment. When making a choice about something, do it for yourself instead of compromising for others.

There is an aspect to this time frame that can promote polarization and conflict. Stay out of it, in your own lane, and seek balance for what may be polarized in your own life; your needs as opposed to responsibility to others, work as opposed to home, what you desire as opposed to what you think you can have. Polarization always comes from comparison. Refrain from comparing yourself to others and instead seek to be your best self always.

Full Moon in Aquarius is Wednesday, July 29 at 9:25 AM Central time.
This is a big and intense moon that could trigger a substantial emotional release, a necessary breakthrough, a positive expansion, a deep healing of an ancestral pattern, or it can trigger explosive aggressive energy in negative ways. Whether on the home front, your personal life, or the greater political and global arena, we will probably witness both supportive as well as challenging aspects of this full moon.
The best way to approach and work with the energies is to be aware of your own reactions and your own responsibility for them. Have a good cry but don’t wallow. Focus on where you wish to go in your life but don’t be impatient, consider the ideal big picture but don’t be attached. And if you come across confusion, miscommunication and other irritating issues, be as neutral, accepting and compassionate as you can be without judgment.
This “big” moon can inspire “big” results. From internal energetic movement to external natural or political movement, anything is possible. Be flexible, on alert, present, engaged, and responsible where you need to be.

New Moon in Cancer is Tuesday, July 14 at 4:43 AM Central time.
This super moon is supportive to new projects, physical expansion, improving your home environment, building community, enriching family, and making any changes that will increase self-esteem and confidence. Always consider your responsibilities when making those choices for something new and be inspired by your commitments instead of resentful or resistant to them.
Do something new and expansive during this new moon to support the theme of expansion. This will help to support what it is you are wanting to expand in your life. It is also suggested to move your physical body, getting out in nature to walk or participating in dance or other physical activity.
