Moonsigns
Today: August 30, 2008
New moon in Virgo; Mercury moves into Libra. Purity and equality are the themes. Also cleanliness, so even the most slovenly and disorganized of us may want to diminish the clutter. Virgo, you know how your sign is supposed to be so chaste? It’s the weekend, the moon is in your sign — indulge all appetites. Taurus and Capricorn, be ambitious in your weekend projects.
This week: August 29, 2008
This week, the moon is waning, with the new moon coming on the weekend, and the accident-prone dark of the moon occurring on Saturday night. Though new moons provide the cosmic equivalent of shaking out the tablecloth with all the utensils still in place, that day before can be emotionally taxing. Check the directions before you look for that after-hours club — check the brake cables, too. On a lighter night, the crescent phase is helpful for having “eureka” moments while doing something else.

About MoonSigns
This horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac.
When the moon is in your sun sign (e.g., you’re a Taurus and the moon is in Taurus), you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle. Expect increased insight and emotional responses during this two day period. The moon changes sign approximately every 2.5 days, so it’s influence is intense, but ultimately brief. Now, when the moon is in the sign opposite your sun sign, expect some ups and downs. Here are the oppositions: Aries, Libra. Taurus, Scorpio. Gemini, Sagittarius. Cancer, Capricorn. Leo, Aquarius and Virgo, Pisces.
As the moon between signs, it will sometimes become "void of course," and make no major angles to planets. Consider this a null time and try to avoid decision-making or implementing decisions if you can. It is an excellent period for creativity, unexpected encounters, and quirky outcomes.
