Dear friends,
Soon there will be a New Moon and a New Moon Manifestation Circle Webinar It will arrive even sooner. Join me on Thursday, August 21, 2025 at 7:30 pm ET to explore the current cosmic energy and how to make the most of its impact in YOUR birth chart.
The Sun and Moon are scheduled to meet in the early morning hours of Saturday, August 23, almost immediately after the Sun moves from fixed Leo to mutable Virgo. (Yes, we’re still in summer Leo right now, but not for much longer!) The New Moon occurs at 0 degrees, 23 minutes Virgo, and triggers new one-month, 2.5-year cycles in the early Virgo area of your chart and your life. . . as well as marking the beginning of our fall eclipse season.
When the chart is projected for Washington, DC (and this chart rules the entire United States, since our nation’s capital is there) we find Jupiter in the First House of beginnings, Venus and Mercury in the Second House of money, and the Sun and Moon in the Third House of Communications. It’s a great time to get your next big project off the ground: set your intentions for what you want to do.
The Sun and Moon form the apex of a Finger of God with Neptune in Aries and Saturn and Pluto in Aquarius, propelling us toward our life’s mission. We CAN achieve this through a synthesis of hard work, careful planning, hope and strategy. Don’t be shy: call on your allies and help them get excited about the vision.
The planets of the Talent Trine (Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto) get along very well with each other and, while each has a DIFFERENT task that you must complete, the tasks imposed are actually complementary. Don’t give in to the pressure: everything will make sense when you get over it. And you can actually get allies to help you (like Cinderella and the birds); you just need to be humble enough (a Virgo keyword!) to welcome such collaboration.
Uranus is opposite Hidalgo and asks us to stand up and right the wrongs, even and ESPECIALLY when it means breaking with tradition. Mercury in Leo is moving toward the end of its retrograde shadow: you’ve learned and reflected a lot these past few months, and now you’re clearer than ever about what you see and what you value.
Saturn is at world point 0 Aries, and the nodes of destiny are at their degrees since 9/11, so we can expect big world news, especially for those in the U.S. It’s helpful to remember that not everything that happens is your business. Dedicate yourself to improving your own sphere of influence. That’s all any of us can do and it’s enough.
If you would like to learn more about this weekend’s New Moon and how to use its energy to improve your own life, please Join me for an in-depth discussion.
Either way, it’s a great New Moon for manifestation! So find some time this weekend for your ritual!
A big hug, Ana.
