NEW MOON REPORT
August 8, 2002
by Maritha Pottenger
With the Sun and Mars (two fire planets and
keys to initiative and action) moving into Virgo this month, the accent is on taking the
lead in regard to work and/or health. Now is the time to put yourself forward in terms of
efficient functioning and getting tangible results in the real world.
New Moon at 16 Leo 04, Thursday, August
8, 2002, at 12:16 PM PDT.
New Moons are propitious for initiation, so now is the moment to start something that will
allow you to shine or be center stage. Promotional projects are favored, or anything
involving creativity, persuasion, children, entertainment, or a chance to get admiration
and applause. This New Moon is extra significant for people born around August 6-12,
November 6-11, February 4-9, or May 5-9.
Saturn trines Uranus, Wednesday, August
21, 2002, at 00:19 AM PDT.
With harmony between the planet of conventionality and the planet of
unconventionality, this is an optimum time to blend the old and the new; the revolutionary
and Establishment, progress and traditions. Balancing polarities (and bringing the best of
both sides) is possible. New technology (Uranus) can be applied in a practical way to the
material world (Saturn). Outsiders and insiders may learn to cooperate.
Full Moon at 29 Aquarius 39, Thursday,
August 22, 2002, at 3:30 PM PDT.
A Full Moon emphasizes emotions and reaching fulfillment of a cycle. This cycle
involves finding a happy medium between freedom and closeness, the passions and the
intellect, being special ("better than") and being equal, or devoting time and
energy to loved ones versus friends or humanitarian causes. The Full Moon issues are
likely to be more meaningful for people born around February 17-21, May 18-23, August
21-26, or November 20-26.
Sun enters Virgo, Friday, August 23,
2002, at 00:18 AM PDT.
The Sun-which loves to shine-entering the pragmatic sign of Virgo puts the focus on
gaining positive regard through practical accomplishments. This might be on the job or in
terms of one's health or physical functioning. The accent is on gaining attention or
admiration through efficiency, productivity, common sense, or organizational skills.
Pluto turns direct, Monday, August 26,
2002, at 4:02 AM PDT.
A new cycle could arise in terms of joint resources, hidden matters, occult studies,
research, or anything involving power or intense emotions (and thus, ruled by Pluto).
Check also the house in your horoscope on whose cusp Scorpio appears. This cycle will last
until Pluto turns retrograde in March of 2003.
Mercury enters Libra, Monday, August 26,
2002, at 2:11 PM PDT.
When the planet of thinking and communication enters the sign of diplomacy, we can
have a smooth way with words. Graceful speech is possible as well as lovely language or
poetic imagery. We may be more tactful than usual, able to say what we know people want to
hear. This is an excellent placement for mediation, negotiation, and pleasing people.
Mars enters Virgo, Thursday, August 29,
2002, at 7:39 AM PDT.
With the planet of energy and independence entering the sign of work and health, we
are ready to take the initiative in terms of getting things done! We want to see the
fruits of our labors, and will stir things up in order to make sure that we are effective.
Self-directed tasks have high appeal. We like working on our own, calling the shots
professionally. If you are thinking about beginning anything related to business, now is
probably a good time to start.
