Your Horoscope for Libra
by Susan Miller
Use this day, August 11 or 12, to have a major job interview, open the doors of your new business, or start an advertising, publicity, or social media campaign. Give a speech or judge a contest. Hand in a manuscript or a report you wrote. Host a podcast or be a guest on one. These are just a few examples—you can think of more. August 11 or 12 could turn out to be a major moment for you.
Now let’s look at the new moon in Virgo at 0 degrees on August 22. This will be the first of two new moons in the same sign and area of your chart—for you, that’s your twelfth house. Both lunations are new moons, but the one on September 21 will also be a solar eclipse. Your twelfth house, where these two new moons will appear, is generally a mild and very private place in your chart. You may simply decide to pull back, relax, and get some rest before you plunge back into the hustle and bustle of life in the coming months.
The twelfth house is associated with health and healing, hospitals, rehab centers, and physical therapy clinics. Many people decide to go in for surgery or a special procedure at this time, simply because the second half of August is generally a quiet time when business tends to slow down, and you would have time to rest. Saturn and Neptune will be trine your ruler Venus, which is a comforting, soothing aspect.
Sometimes a new moon in your twelfth house (as you will have on August 22 and next month on September 21) reveals a secret that at first shocks you but then later, with thought, makes you realize that knowing this information is very useful and will even protect you in the future. Conversely, this new moon might bring you a confidential project where you would be asked to sign papers so that you keep all you learn and do everything under wraps.
