The New Moon is a partial solar eclipse in Virgo, ruled by Mercury in Libra. This very meaningful transit asks us to be more careful with our hearts, but also not to shy away from love. This week, we will have opportunities to make room for romance, but also to work diligently right before Libra season begins on September 23.
This week, the Moon will trine Uranus and Pluto, adding more transformation, bringing new friendships, and helping us to communicate on a deeper level. Superficial topics will not be part of this transit, so expect to pour your heart and soul into someone you trust. Overall, this transit is showing us that if we’ve blocked our emotions, they will eventually overflow and demand to be released.
