Virgo

virgo1Amelia’s horoscope: Your keyword for the new moon is protect. Lady Luna is in your seventh house of frenemies, so you’re being called to be kind but keep your armor on. With enough caution and compassion, is there any way you can heal old hurts between you and your rivals?

Dylan’s advice: Eclipses always bring change. With the potent influence of emotive Pisces, those shifts can feel messy and fast, fast, fast. It can be hard to take that ride sometimes! If you’re arriving at some hard truths about the people closest to you, know that there is a big difference between walls and boundaries. Walls are impenetrable; they shut people out. They can also shut us off from ourselves, our feelings, and our needs. Boundaries, on the other hand, are markers of respect and love. We set them according to what we need, from people and situations, and what we need protection against as well. Draw a diagram of what your boundaries are—literally, on a piece of paper. Put your close ones in the middle, and make lines around them to delineate where your personal boundaries lie. (For example: I’ll listen to and support my best friend when they’re upset, but I won’t indulge in their negative self-talk that brings us both down.) Document your boundaries so they won’t be vulnerable to shifts under the dizzying motions of this change-heavy eclipse. Boundaries don’t just protect you; they protect the relationships you love, and keep them healthy and growing. Particularly, and most powerfully, the relationship you have with yourself.
