The New Moon is on Monday September 2 at 9:55 PM at 11 degrees of Virgo. The Moon will be conjunct the asteroid Vesta. Vesta’s name is derived from sanscrit and means “shining.” Although not the largest of the asteroids, she is the brightest and the only one that can be seen from earth with the naked eye. The symbol for Vesta is the flame.
