Overview

• The lunation occurs on August 23 at 0°23′ Virgo, with local times including 03:06 in Argentina and Brazil, 08:06 in Spain, 00:06 in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Perú, and 01:06 in New York and Miami.
• It begins the first of two Virgo lunations this year, with a second on September 21 that will be a partial solar eclipse tied to a longer eclipse cycle into 2026, according to Clarín’s coverage.
• Analysts describe a “cometa cósmico” configuration—Mars in Libra opposite retrograde Saturn–Neptune in Aries, supported by Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius—suggesting early friction that can evolve into reform.
• Guidance emphasizes practical starts such as new projects, detoxes and health routines, with heightened sensitivity for early-degree Virgo and other mutable signs, and stabilizing openings for early Taurus and Capricorn placements.
• Publimetro relays Mhoni Vidente’s “Era de Virgo” claims through September 20, touting double luck, power colors yellow and red, and numbers 11, 13 and 21, with earth and water signs named as likely beneficiaries.
