Virgo
Born between: August 23rd - Sep 22nd
Dedicated and accomplished are the best ways to describe a Virgo as they have profound morals and are often initiative. However those born under the Virgo star sign need to take extra care to control their temper and be patient.
Religion, education, and matters at a distance are highlighted as the New Moon activates your ninth house today. You can make a great new start if you put your mind to it: one of the best ways to spend this time is to plan a trip to somewhere you have never been. Even if you just journey to a neighbouring town, the change of scenery will do you good. Fortunate colours are tan and maroon. Lucky numbers are 30 and 33.
With both the Moon and Mercury in your ninth house of personal goals, it is time to aim high. Now is the time to get the education you need to advance. Sign up for a weekend class that will improve your skill set and then commit yourself to getting the most out of it. Favourable colours are cinnabar and beige. Lucky numbers are 27 and 28.
You may find yourself experiencing intense encounters as the Moon moves in your eighth house of sex, money, and power. Becoming more aware of the psychological games we all play at one time or another will help you understand your relationships much better. As a Virgo, chances are good you are already vaguely aware of the patterns that keep repeating over and over. Be open to change. Favourable colours are mahogany and bronze. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.
Positive partnerships move you forward in the world today, whether your concerns are legal, spiritual, or educational. Even though Virgo is one of the signs most likely to remain unmarried (with Aquarius tying for the honour of least likely to say I do), you still need the stimulation and support of others. Look to the Neptunian types in your life for the extra bit of pixie dust that you need. Auspicious colours are charcoal and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 12 and 13.
Two heads are better than one, as the Moon moves through your seventh house of partnerships. Whether you are working on a project or taking off on an adventure, the presence of your best friend or partner will be auspicious. After all, when you get to the top of that mountain, you will need someone to snap the photograph! Positive colours are russet and copper. Lucky numbers are 7 and 18.
The changeable Moon passes from your sixth house of service to your seventh house of partnerships, making this a time for working with others. Even if you prefer working alone, the input of others can benefit you. Be sure to understand the expectations others have of you and make your expectations of others quite clear. Make time for your most significant other this evening. Beneficial colours are apricot and silver. Lucky numbers are 7 and 9.
The Sun officially enters Taurus and your ninth house of travel, education, publishing and religion today. What do all those things have in common, you ask? Well, on different levels, they all convey new ideas and encourage new experiences. The next few weeks will find you increasingly in search of the New and Improved Vision you need to start looking forward to the future again. Excellent colours are cream and ebony. Lucky numbers are 9 and 18.
Many of you will experience upsets as the reflective Moon and unpredictable Uranus clash with rigid Saturn today; this is not a good day for travel, education, legal or religious matters. The pressure on you is intense, so try to delegate as much as possible. When eating out, avoid dining on foods you are unaccustomed to. You may end up with Montezuma's Revenge. Soothing colours are pastel pink and cream. Lucky numbers are 14 and 32.
Even if the day starts on a light-hearted note, by afternoon you will be back to business. The moody Moon moves in your sixth house of health and service, urging you to pay attention to the details in your life. Remember to eat right, exercise, and avoid people and places that upset your delicate sensibilities. You need to keep yourself in balance during the next few days, so make clear decisions regarding your work and health, not to mention life's mysteries, such as finances and the mystical power of sex, as Venus reaches her direct station today after weeks of retro movement.

Today can be jolly in general as the heavenly bodies harmonize; expect positive experiences in romance, travel, education, and creativity. Spending time with children can be especially rewarding, whether they are your own little darlings or the progeny of friends. Teachers among you will be on fire with enthusiasm, helping your students to broaden their horizons. Positive colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 10 and 55.
Henry Higgins was a Virgo character, which doesn't say much for the Virgin's tender sensibilities in love. However, many of you harbour fantastic romantic notions and will be practically swooning by this afternoon. The sensitive Moon is passing through your fifth house of romance and creativity, triggering an intense response in your house of adventure. Bon Voyage! Ideal colours are aqua and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 66 and 12.
Do a bit of housekeeping while the Moon completes her journey through your fourth house of home and family; it's time to sweep the literal and figurative cobwebs out of your life. After all, a whole new world is waiting for you. While this may be Friday the 13th, it doesn't have to be unlucky for the fastidious Virgin. Get organized and everything should be just ducky! Fortunate colours are charcoal and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 22 and 41.
With the emotional Moon in your fourth house of home and family, you may be experiencing heaven or hell under your own roof. The fourth house symbolizes the ending of the old so that the new can begin, sort of like the effect cleaning an infected wound has on the healing process. Sure, it may be ugly, but it the end you are much better off. Fortunate colours are butterscotch and coffee. Lucky numbers are 21 and 60.
Make your home your own private sanctuary as the Moon crosses into your fourth house of home and family. Clear up any misunderstandings by opening the lines of communication today; if you don't, you may find yourself in hot water by tomorrow. You need to let go of attitudes that keep you from growing. Easter Sunday marks the date when Christians believe that Jesus Christ, son of the Virgin, rose to new life, after three days in the tomb. This is the celebration of the renewal of the Sun of Righteousness, as he overcame the darkness. Read more on Easter. Ideal colours are bright red and ebony. Lucky numbers are 6 and 47.
Even if you have a thousand things to do today, don't be in a hurry. It is important to slow down and focus on each task one at a time or you will risk injuring yourself or others. Venus slips back to Pisces, creating issues in your love-life, which might be exciting. Health too is vulnerable to today's nervous energies; remember to relax and rebuild your self-image. By tomorrow, you will be ready to spend more time at home and less time in public. Beneficial colours are sky blue and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 31 and 74.
Good Friday is a holiday for many of us, since it is the holiest day in the Christian calendar. However, some of us have to work and confusion may be distracting as the Moon and Mercury clash, so try not to lose your temper with incompetent co-workers and service providers. Take time out for reflection. Be careful while driving as distractions are more likely to lead to accidents now. Later in the day, be sure to spend time chatting with your favourite sibling or neighbor. You'll be glad you did! Read more on Good Friday. Balanced colours are golden amber and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 23 and 41.
Today's Full Moon brings issues regarding your personal finances and the values of others to a head. Sex, money and power are hot issues; hopefully you have enough of all three. If not, be prepared for a shakedown as planetary influences encourage the expression of your basic needs. Good news comes from afar today, as Mercury enters Taurus, giving a cultural flavour to the month ahead. This is a spiritual Full Moon that is the signal for Easter in the Christian faith, and Pesach or Passover, for the Jews. Even pagans can celebrate the fertile season of the Equinox! Fortunate colours are copper and forest green. Lucky numbers are 2 and 8.
The Libra Moon activates your second house of finances today, dear Virgo. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish now. Spending money may be enjoyable, but be aware of the possible negative side effects, like debt. I have no doubt that the conscientious Virgin has more than earned the right to spend a little on life's luxuries, but try to keep everything in balance. Beneficial colours are hyacinth and sage green. Lucky numbers are 2 and 8.
The thoughtful Moon in Virgo opposing aggressive Mars and disruptive Uranus creates friction today. You need to make adjustments in your personal life, for your past may be affecting the way you respond to your present. This is not always fair to the people you are closest to, because it is too easy to make them pay for hurts delivered by others. Step back and think before you react. Positive colours are pale violet and avocado. Lucky numbers are 7 and 15.
The Virgo Moon lights up your first house of personality today, helping you to regain your strength. Emotional fortitude returns, giving you the courage to face your challenges with your head held high. Of course, you may be feeling confident enough to administer a little too much constructive criticism, which might not be appreciated. Help others by example, rather than by lecturing them. Avoid financial disagreements with partners, as unorthodox solutions are not well-favoured. Excellent colours are emerald and parchment. Lucky numbers are 1 and 8.
With all the planetary tension in the air, many of you are likely to feel your ulcers acting up today. You may not be able to put your finger on it, but it seems as if the world got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Travelling is not such a good idea for you right now, so avoid it if you can. Work on recharging your spiritual batteries and refreshing your soul throughout the day, as by night you'll be ready to come alive. Excellent colours are sunset pink and gleaming blue. Lucky numbers are 21 and 30.
There's quite some life left in the old dog, as the Moon gambols in your house of friends, hopes and wishes, but after dark Pluto turns retrograde in your house of romance, you begin to feel a little piqued. The Moon then moves into your twelfth house of secrets and solitude, urging you to slow down. You need to recuperate from the stressful events of the past month. Daily stress builds up in our bodies, causing toxins to undermine our health. Take a long, hot bath this evening and let all your stress run down the drain along with the water. Have a relaxing weekend. Ideal colours are midnight blue and lavender. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
Your hopes and dreams for the future may be stimulated, so by all means, hang on to your ideals. The world is so full of disillusionment that it is nice to see someone who can still hope for eventual perfection. Of course, you must refrain from imposing the same expectations you have for yourself on your friends and associates or they may not be around for too long. Auspicious colours are red coral and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 11 and 12.
The Moon is moving in your eleventh house of friends and associates, persuading you to get out and have some fun. Homespun comforts and entertainments are favoured, so get together for dinner and a game of Scrabble or Pictionary. Working with your office mates will be especially pleasant as everyone seems like more of a family. Of course, you could be one big dysfunctional family, but isn't it grand? Favourable colours are amethyst and tan. Lucky numbers are 11 and 24.
After a lively morning of public humiliation, thanks to April Fool's pranksters, the magic Moon moves into your eleventh house of friends and associates, so enjoy the company of your loved ones. There may be some concern about overspending or overindulging in pleasures, but don't let the opinions of others worry you. Judge not, that ye be not judged, as the Good Book says. Beneficial colours are antique silver and pale green. Lucky numbers are 5 and 11.
