NEW MOON REPORT
by Maritha Pottenger
August 29, 2000
Taking care of business is much of the motif for this month. Pragmatic
matters are in focus, although passion and affection get some attention as well. Making room (and time) for both love
and work is important. Solid accomplishments are likely.
New Moon at 6 Virgo 23, Tuesday, August 29 at 3:19 AM PDT
This New Moon highlights opportunities to initiate action that will improve your health or add to your productivity and
accomplishments on the job. Initiative is favored in matters relating to common sense, efficiency, work, and bodily
functions. This New Moon is extra significant for people born around August 27-September 1; November 28-December 1;
February 24-28; or May 25-30.
Venus enters Libra, Wednesday, August 30 at 8:35 PM PDT
Get together. The planet of love, affection and pleasure enters the sign of relationships and sharing. Aesthetic matters
are also favored. It will be easier to make money through (or spend money on) other people, artistic activities,
interpersonal exchanges, grace, charm, or anything that accents balance and harmony.
Mercury enters Libra, Thursday, September 7 at 3:22 PM PDT
Seeing both sides becomes easier. The mind of the debater is available. Empathy could increase. A desire for justice and
balance will be prevalent in your thinking, writing, and speaking. Words may flow with grace and beauty (e.g., singing,
song-writing, poetry, lovely metaphors, etc.). Diplomatic exchanges are likely.
Saturn turns retrograde, Tuesday, September 12 at 3:13 AM PDT
A new chapter begins in regard to realism, professional matters, and doing what is necessary. (Look to the house in your
horoscope that has Capricorn on the cusp or intercepted for matters that may be relevant.) This phase will last until
January 2001 (when Saturn turns direct).
Full Moon 21 Pisces 18, Wednesday, September 13 at 12:37 PM PDT
This Full Moon offers a chance to bring dreams into being-especially in matters involving idealism, compassion,
visualization, imagination, aesthetics, or healing. Less constructively, perfectionism, cosmic discontent or
savior-victim entanglements are possible. The key is using pragmatism to turn what could be into reality. This Full Moon
is more significant for people born around March 11-5; June 10-15; September 13-17; or December 12-16.
Mars enters Virgo, Saturday, September 16 at 5:19 PM PDT
Good craftsmanship is accented. The motto: "If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well," applies. People
inclined toward workaholic behavior are more at risk. Self-critical tendencies could increase, but this placement is
superb for dedication to excellence. Organizational skills and a willingness to labor long and hard are likely.
Sun enters Libra, Friday, September 22 at 10:28 AM PDT
You need to shine in the company of others. This is good for romance and aesthetic activities, but beware of allowing
your self-esteem to be too much in the hands of other people ("I need you to like me."). You can excite and
energize others and your talent as a coach, cheerleader, and motivator comes out in relationships or circumstances that
emphasize taking turns or seeking beauty.
Venus enters Scorpio, Sunday, September 24 at 8:26 AM PDT
Passions rise. Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, enters the sign of intensity. You may be more sexually
stimulated, or drawn to activities that emphasize catharsis, intense emotions, facing the Dark Side, or pushing the
limits in life. An all-or-nothing approach is likely in terms of relationships, pleasures, and the handling of money.
