Intensity incoming! Saturday’s Virgo new moon in your intimate, powerful eighth house is the first in a rare pair, and the second one—a solar eclipse on September 21—will amplify anything that begins now. You could grow much closer to someone or form a fresh sexual connection. Or perhaps you’ll dive into an investigation or research project that bears fruit over the next six months, before the corresponding full moon. If you’re looking to tap an outside resource like a grant or investor, this could be your lucky lunation. And if you’re grappling with a private emotional matter, the inner work you do now can have a transformative effect on you. But you might be tempted to run away from anything too heavy on Sunday when the Sun spars with your ruler, rebellious Uranus, in your playful fifth house. Maybe things are heating up with a certain someone, and suddenly, you have an urge to do exactly as you please—for instance, flirting with another person or blowing off plans. Or you’re obsessing over someone who’s acting like a loose cannon. A temporary timeout could be just what you both need.
