The Moon rules your inner self, which comprises your feelings and truth, while Mercury offers the necessary communication to enable Mars to create action.
Together, the planetary energy today can help you create a solid and stable foundation to build your dreams.
This is a week of change and positive development as Venus recently began its new cycle and the New Moon occurred, both in Leo. You have been reminded about what is most important to you, and while you'd thought you could accept things or deal with any challenging realities, you're now feeling empowered to step into a phase of transformation.
As you are feeling the urge to take on whatever has felt challenging in your life, the Virgo energy today will help bring healing energy, as well as the logical actions to help find and create a sense of stability and inner safety so you can feel confident in manifesting what you genuinely desire. The more honest you are about what you want, the more power your manifestations will carry. Virgo asks for you to believe in your intention so sincerely. Failure is not even an option — but it also reminds you to ensure you are sending out what you hope to receive back.
Manifesting with the energy of the Moon, Mercury and Mars in Virgo relies heavily on communicating your intentions to the universe and the earth's power to take the seeds you are planting, as it helps everything blossom into fruition. Please focus on stating what you want through writing or even speaking it aloud today, especially outside, as you embrace the earth energy of Virgo. When you genuinely believe in yourself and your intentions, you open a portal of power where the universe can help you co-create all your desires, trusting everything will grow in divine time.

Virgo: manifest self-acceptance
(August 23 - September 22)
The Moon, Mercury and Mars in your zodiac sign are helping you to find sweet acceptance of yourself instead of always trying to fix or improve something.

As you fold it and place it inside the orange, repeat your affirmation and then bind the orange together with a blue ribbon. Place this in a salt dish, out in the sunlight to absorb the earth's energy for at least an hour, and then consume the orange as you visualize yourself embodying greater self-acceptance.

Once you're settled into your ritual, cut a piece of violet thread, and tie it around your left middle finger, the part of your body representing your soul as you are reminded to always believe in your higher self.
Daily affirmation: I believe in myself and my dreams.
Scorpio: manifest a new beginning
(October 23 - November 21)
Focus on creating a brand-new beginning in your life as the Moon, Mars and Mercury in the sign of Virgo call your attention to your dreams and those you surround yourself with. Begin by anointing a white candle in lemon balm essential oil and lighting it as you create space for your intention.

Sagittarius: manifest career purpose
(November 22 - December 21)
To work with the powerful intensity of Virgo energy in your career sector, focus on how you can create long-term success in this area of your life.
