The New Moon refreshes your outlook and invites a bold new beginning.

A frustration which was beginning to get the better of you, lifts today, giving you space to move forward with confidence.

Trust the impulse that arrives today, it’s the right one.

Fresh ideas gather under today’s New Moon, nudging you toward an inspired decision.

A conversation or message you did not expect steers you in a new direction.

Listen closely — it matters.

What you want must be a priority.

The New Moon softens old emotions and brings a quiet reset.

Something that burdened you begins to ease, giving you room to reflect and regroup.

Let the calm guide your next step.

Those who try to rile you today are trying attack as a form of defence.

Time to be more selective about your inner circle.

This New Moon gives you permission to refresh a habit, attitude or expectation.

It’s also a great time to kick bad habits, for good this time, too.

It’s a subtle realisation which arrives that helps you understand what truly serves you.

Work with it, not against it.

Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
Simplicity brings relief today.

Don’t let others lead, but be your own leader.

The New Moon encourages you to release clutter, physical and emotional.

You must trust the power of a clean start.

A lighter mind makes room for better choices.

Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Fresh energy moves through relationships as the New Moon highlights balance and harmony at long last.

A gentle conversation and a new understanding sets a positive tone.

Follow the feeling of ease.

Others want to make up as much as you do.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
The New Moon stirs your intuition, urging you to look beneath the surface.

A quiet truth or hidden detail becomes clearer, helping you decide what to keep or let go.

It’s also time to step away from the emotional blackmail a familiar face has begun using on you again.

Sagittarius ( November 23 – December 21)
A soft inner shift guides you today, Sagittarius.

The New Moon encourages a subtle reset of goals or beliefs, nothing dramatic, just a clearer sense of ‘why.’ Let it sink in before acting.

Those who think they can pull the wool over your eyes in business and financial matters are in for a huge surprise.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Today’s New Moon focuses on long-term plans and priorities.

You finally feel ready to restructure something important and to redefine your goals.

Practical thinking brings the breakthrough.

Those you cut out of your life at this time will not be welcomed back again.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19)
The New Moon sparks fresh thinking and a fresh perspective on life and love.

A realisation the heavens bring you helps you detach from old limits and see new possibilities.

Let curiosity lead you.

I know you’re going to like where it leads.

Speaking your truth in love can work a miracle.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
The New Moon soothes your spirit and reconnects you with your intuition.

A quiet moment delivers the message you’ve been waiting for.

Trust what drifts to the surface.

Don’t allow others to lead the way today, when it’s your story you’re writing.
