This week’s new moon is in your sign, Virgo. There’s hope on the horizon. While you’ll feel confused by Pluto retrograding into your romance sector, you’ll be feeling good about your independent path. Take your time sorting through complicated emotions. Not everything needs to be understood, felt, or respected. While you’re eager to pursue what makes you happy, you’ll have to take the longer path. The road to fulfillment in relationships isn’t about perfection. It’s about embracing transformation together.

LIBRA 

When Pluto retrogrades into your personal life sector, have patience within your domestic life. There’s something to do regarding your loved ones. It’ll feel hard to focus on your career or public life, Libra. Your heart and mind will be elsewhere. Therefore, take the time needed to prioritize who and what matters most. The rest can wait. The Virgo new moon follows up with renewing energy. Your spiritual sector is activated. As your intuition whispers you sweet nothings, dare to take its counsel. There are distractions in your external life. The answers you seek this week are all within, though.

The pieces will fall where they may. However, your dedication to your ideals motivates you to overcome any challenge.

Get realistic rather than philosophical. There are sensible decisions to be made. The Virgo new moon furthers the professional tone.

However, you can’t sacrifice yourself any longer. Take the higher path and remain true to your needs and morals. That being said, the Virgo new moon only furthers the need to introspect. Your beliefs about life may be limiting you from the very professional growth you crave. Step out of your comfort zone. What would happen if you believed good things were possible without self-sacrifice?

Your sense of community and belonging may confuse you this week, Pisces. As Pluto retrogrades back into your social sector, you’re questioning the deeper meaning of connections.
