Your New Moon Horoscope For August 2022 Wants Every Zodiac Sign To Revamp Their Routine
There’s an intriguing lunation headed your way, but before we dive into your new moon horoscopes, let’s take a closer look at the current astro-weather. The sun is in Virgo, after all, making it one of the most meticulous and hardworking seasons of the year. So, the real question is: are you ready and willing to put in the work?
The only thing more ironic than ending a fun-filled summer with Virgo season is the fact that this year, it begin in tandem with Mars entering capricious and curious Gemini. As you may know, both Gemini *and* Virgo are ruled by none other than clever Mercury, the planet of logistics, buzzing communication and immediate exchanges. And even though the influence of chatty Mercury expresses itself differently via the earth (Virgo) and air (Gemini) element, both of these signs are mutable which means they naturally square (are at odds with) each other.

To put it simply, the sun in Virgo is helping us ground our daily rituals, while Mars in Gemini presents us with a variety of outlets where we can multitask, and confidently disperse our energy. See the contradiction? You’re either devoted to a practice you’re looking to cultivate, or networking and exploring different avenues, but you get the picture. Although, before we continue dissecting the influence of Mars (soon to be retrograde) in Gemini, it’s not forget to talk about Mercury. Even though Mercury won’t station retrograde until September 9, it’s still in it’s pre-retrograde shadow, which is casting a light sheen of confusion over this new moon. And since both Mercury and Mars—planet of passion and conflict—are key players during this time, this new moon might be a jumpier experience than your average new moon!

Because the new moon occurs when the sun—ruler of your ego and physical identity—joins forces with the moon—ruler of your intuition and shadow self—it marks the beginning of a new spiritual alignment. As you know, the union between these ever-glowing luminaries is a moment that’s potent with power. Virgo season is also symbolic of the harvest—because you reap what you sow—so be sure to plant those seeds of intention.
Vanishing into the sky on August 27 at 4:17 a.m. ET at four degrees Virgo, this lunation is bringing emphasis to everything from our health habits and devotions; to what needs to be improved and polished in our lives. What needs to be worked on in order for you to live your best life? Are you devoted to your mental, physical and spiritual health? Sitting in a perplexing square to Mars in Gemini, it may feel easy to become distracted by background noise during this new moon. Take your time strategizing next steps and redefining our routine, because it’s time to get focused.

Because Venus—planet of love—is still opposing Saturn—planet of restriction—you may feel all too aware of what is and isn’t working in your life and in your relationships. In fact, it may be triggering feelings of isolation. Sadly, you may be more prone to feeling misunderstood and/or misjudged at this time. Romantic and professional partnerships are no exception, especially when it pertains to agreements and finding a middle ground. Needless to say, compromising is easier said than done under this somber opposition, as it epitomizes that of irreconcilable differences. Both parties could come to the realization that they’re each on a completely different path.
However, because Venus is also forming a square with freedom-loving Uranus, there may be signals that some abrupt changes are about to take place. This isn’t always the most comfortable transit, considering that all Venus wants is to lounge around and enjoy stability and pleasure. Luckily, we are being guided to accept and facilitate positive improvements during this time. The outer planets (Uranus included) are all retrograde… so, it’s almost as if we’re being encouraged to look at the past in order to make the most of our future. Sounds contradicting, especially during Virgo season, but there is magic in the mutability!
If your sun sign, moon sign or rising sign falls under any of the following zodiac signs, the upcoming new moon will rock your world. Here’s why:
How The New Moon In Virgo Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign
Aries
It’s hard to dedicate your time and energy to a solid plan when you’re naturally distracted by your back-to-back thoughts, as well as the opinions of those in your immediate environment. This is especially true when considering your red-hot planetary ruler, Mars, as it is currently heating up your busy-bee third house of communication and all things miscellaneous.
The new moon, however, will bring emphasis to your sixth house of daily routines, health habits and acts of service, presenting you with a new beginning in your day-to-day life. Again, don’t be discouraged if things don’t make sense right away. The logistics are bound to change under the moon’s square to Mars, so be sure to reflect on what fuels your productivity levels instead. Change is inevitable, so analyze and strategize without getting lost in the sauce!

Taurus
Not that you need any more on your plate, but don’t let the uncertainties of the current moment get you down. After all, your celestial ruler, Venus, continues to be challenged by reckless Uranus and pragmatic Saturn… but as always, there is a silver lining to the chaos.
For instance, this new moon will ignite your fifth house of love, passion projects and self expression, presenting you with the opportunity to critique, perfect and polish a unique skill you’re in the process of mastering, while others of you strategize on your next move in the love department. However, while at odds with Mars, via your stability-seeking second house of values, you’re more prone to overthinking an investment and/or second-guessing yourself in the process. You can’t please the entire world, so why not start with making yourself happy instead?

Just like Beyoncé, you’re looking for a new foundation, and you’re not about to let anything or anyone get in your way. You’re starting from the ground up, and the new moon in Virgo will shake up your fourth house of home, family matters and emotional foundations, all the while face off with go-getter Mars in your sign. A clean slate is being presented to you but, by that same token, you’re simultaneously motivated and supercharged under the influence of Mars.
Maybe you’re reluctant about expressing your emotions with a close relative, or too scattered to commit to a home renovation project. Your sense of self and individual freedom is more likely to clash with what’s going on at an emotional level, or in the homefront. Venus’ opposition to Saturn also validates why you may be at odds with a significant other, specifically with regards to your individual belief system. Stay true to yourself without losing your balance.

Your conversations and exchanges are a reflection of you, as is your immediate environment.

What skills are you looking to cultivate and nurture? Keep in mind, with the moon’s ruler, Mercury, glimmering through your emotionally driven fourth house, you could feel an intuitive connection to your new beginning.
In other words, prioritizing your sense of security and innermost feelings before committing to this endeavor, perhaps. Squaring go-getter Mars in Gemini, be discerning with your secrets and future plans; work behind the scenes if needed.

Just keep moving; let your authenticity and values be your guide. Although, in addition to touching down on your security-seeking second house of morale, this year’s new moon in Virgo will simultaneously square off with Mars via your 11th house of associations, community affairs and individual freedom. Do keep in mind, the new moon’s ruler, Mercury, will be glimmering through your chatty third house of communication which, in turn, encourages you to connect and engage with your peers as you continue to plan ahead.
On a more challenging note, Venus’ opposition to Saturn is bound to trigger some feelings of disappointment and/or rejection… but like everything, this, too, shall pass. Instead of dwelling on your differences with a significant other, this is a reminder for you to sort out your priorities, and keep your eyes on the prize. You’re closer to obtaining the abundance you seek then you realize.

What needs to change in order for you to feel totally secure?

Pisces
How can you continue to cultivate the foundation of your partnerships? What seeds of intentions are you looking to harvest with your sweetheart? Be it personally or professionally, the new moon will bring fertile new beginnings to your relationship sector. However, as always, there’s a catch. Because this new moon takes place in Virgo, the ruling planet of this new moon is Mercury, planet of communication. And because Mercury retrograde is in its pre-retrograde shadow phase while it stirs up drama in your intimate eighth house of shared resources, it could lead to some turmoil at home and with your family.
With that being said, it may be difficult to tend to a beloved connection with so much happening in your personal life, but instead of submitting to the chaos, take this time to reflect on what you’re looking to nurture when it pertains to a romantic and/or business partner. The dynamic of the connection depends on both parties, but there’s hope in knowing that you’ve done your part. That in itself speaks volumes, because all you can do is your part by putting in the work that’s necessary.
