Welcome to the onset of autumn, star children. Next week’s full moon falls close to the equinox, earning it the title of “harvest moon.” In addition to being an absolutely killer Neil Young track, this moon sheds light when humans have historically needed it most, during the collection of crops. Combined with the heavy influence of dark matter planet Pluto, this moon is an omen of regeneration. It asks us to admit and surrender bad habits. Primary among these are self-loathing and unsubstantiated jealousy, but it’s also a good time to give gambling, gossip, nicotine and other vices a rest.
We are still under the influence of the deeply investigative sign of Virgo. In the weeks ahead, this tendency will manifest across the zodiac as a search for meaningful conversation. Past life regression, conspiracy theories, pointed personal questions and sacred geometry take precedence over small talk. Dig deep.

May 21 – June 20

Notable Leo: Ameila Earhart
Virgo
August 23 to September 22
You are a collector of secrets. Here is one for your vault, Virgo: not everyone is as emotionally intuitive as you. Your needs are most likely to be met when they are spoken clearly and out loud.
