September 15th 2012 New Moon in Virgo
A new moon occurs at 10:11PM ET at 23 degree 37 minutes of Virgo. In Virgo, we're more particular about the way we want things to be done. The world seems much pickier, but we like it instead of being frustrated or annoyed by it because we understand. We want everything to be clean, spotless, in perfect order, and have perfect function. We strive to be better, and improve the world in some way. Health related issues could come up, with new ways of being healthy brought to light. Focus is put on work environments, and how we can make them better, along with getting people back to work. We could sure use some good ideas there. If you're a Virgo Sun, Moon, or late Virgo rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most.

September 29th 2012 Full Moon in Aries
A full moon occurs at 11:19PM ET at 7 degrees 22 minutes of Aries. In Aries, we assert independence but in a way that is forceful instead of easing into it. We want everything right now and don't want to wait another moment. Things the world has been working towards for a long time could come to pass now, with hard work being rewarded and conclusions being found. This full moon is conjunct (right next to) Uranus, who is retrograde (appearing to be moving backwards) in Aries. It makes up more impatient, more restless, and try to be more daring, no matter what the costs. This full moon is also square (difficult aspect) Pluto in Capricorn, bringing struggles over power and control that could lead to violence. If you're an Aries Sun, Moon, or rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.
