Virgo New Moons are excellent for initiating action that will bring more health, organization, or efficiency into your life. Matters pertaining to the workplace are favored. Any projects that seek to enhance, repair, fix, or improve are likely to fare well.

New Moon, 11 Virgo 21, Saturday, September 3, 2005 at 11:46 AM PDT.
This would be an excellent time to begin something having to do with productivity on the job. Perhaps you are ready to initiate a time-motion study or improvements that will pay off with greater efficiency. Taking action to enhance your health and physical well being is also favored. This New Moon can be directed toward anything that deals with facts, figures, pragmatism, or bringing order out of chaos. It could be particularly significant for people born around September 2-6, March 1-5, May 31-June 4, or December 2-6.

Mercury into Virgo, Sunday, September 4, 2005 at 10:54 AM PDT.
With the planet of thinking and communication in the common-sense sign of Virgo, people can be more rational, practical, and logical. Facing facts is easier. Problem-solving may go more smoothly. Business matters are favored, as well as anything having to do with health, nutrition, or healing. Clear communication is easier. This is an excellent time for writing or getting tangible results through the use of one’s mind, eyes, hands or tongue.

Saturn sesqui-quadrate Pluto, Friday, September 9, 2005 at 4:54 PM PDT.
Power struggles are the down side of this combination. Jockeying for position and dominance is possible. Avoid control freaks and would-be manipulators. It might be time to pay the piper in terms of debts, taxes, or obligations to others. Be very cautious in the investment realm. Slow, steady and careful is the way to go. Focus and concentration can be enhanced, but those tending toward obsessive-compulsive behavior may become more extreme.

Venus enters Scorpio, Sunday, September 11, 2005 at 9:15 AM PDT.
Seductions are on the rise. This sexy combination is excellent for people who emit a sexual charisma. Intense interactions are quite likely. Shared resources may become a focus. This is an appropriate time to discuss matters of “yours, mine, and ours” in terms of money and possessions.

Full Moon, 25 Pisces 16, Saturday, September 17, 2005 at 7:02 PM PDT.
Full Moons emphasize the balancing of polarities—finding the happy medium between two extremes. This combination is excellent for healing and helping activities, compassionate or charitable acts, artistic endeavors, or any projects that involve having a vision and working hard to manifest your dream. Less constructively, people can fall into procrastination or perfectionism. This Full Moon might be more significant for people born around March 15-19, September 17-21, June 15-19, or December 16-20.

Jupiter sextile Pluto, Saturday, September 17, 2005 at 8:58 PM PDT.
Opportunity could knock in terms of investments or shared resources. Faith or vision can prove valuable in the business realm. Look for chances to expand or improve in regard to joint resources, return on investments, royalties, hidden matters, or life-and-death or intensely emotional circumstances.

Mercury enters Libra; Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at 9:41 AM PDT.
The planet of communication enters the sign of relationships and silver-tongued oratory is more possible. People may be more facile or diplomatic in the way they say things. (People may also be more superficial or hypocritical.) Fence-sitting is possible as individuals weigh and balance—trying to gather all the data and be fair to every side. More discussions within and about relationships are possible.

Saturn quincunx Uranus, Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at 10:50 PM PDT.
This is a time for balancing opposing forces: innovation versus tradition, the old and the new, the conventional and the unconventional, structure versus free flow, the Establishment versus The Rebel. With the best of both, we can be highly effective. If we spend our time in inner conflict, it will be wasted. This combination is capable of changing the system—opening it up and making it more democratic, independent or responsive to feedback. It is also possible that we will build entirely new structures and operating procedures.

Sun enters Libra, Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 3:24 PM PDT.
Ego and self-esteem are tied to balance, harmony, and relationships. We are more inclined to look for love and to seek affirmation from those around us. Romantic urges could increase. Artistic appreciation and skill are highlighted. People with strong natal Libra (or Venus or 7th house) may be too accommodating, too concerned with pleasing other people. People respond well to praise and appreciation. Positive attention and applause are major motivators.

Jupiter sesqui-quadrate Uranus, Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 956 PM PDT.
Restlessness is on the rise. Two of the three freedom planets are egging each other on. Taking a trip is probably a good idea. Too much impatience could derail effectiveness. Doing things on your own is best. The desire for independence is strong. This combination does well in situations calling for courage, fresh ideas, and a willingness to take risks.
