Aries

While the Moon’s move into your creativity sector is a playful influence, dear Aries, there is a tendency to dwell on problem areas rather than release them constructively this morning. As the day advances, it’s easier to find outlets for expressing yourself. Watch for digging in your heels if faced with the possibility that things are not going your way. The better solution for your peace of mind may be to move on and pursue something else. Later today, you tend to think in terms of what’s truly best for you. It’s a good time for seeking out challenges, getting organized, pursuing mental interests, and working on unfinished projects. You’re learning that as you improve your communications with others, your life boosts up in subtle ways.

Taurus

The Moon moves into your home and family sector for a couple of days, dear Taurus. It’s a time to reconnect with yourself and your inner needs, as well as to feed your need to belong. Frustrations you’ve accumulated can emerge this morning if you’ve been keeping too much to yourself. It can be all too easy to trigger frustrations, but this also allows you to see what needs purging. You’re particularly sensitive to skittishness or superficiality in others right now. While it’s a good time for discovering resources you never knew you had, tensions are likely if you try to push something that isn’t meant to be. You’ve been learning what you value these days, and discovering some talents in the process. Information you come across today might point you in this direction. If it’s finance-related, it can also be beneficial.

Gemini  

The Moon heads into your communications sector for a couple of days, dear Gemini, and you’re more curious about what’s happening around you. Energy is such that backing off and detaching yourself a little from issues this morning can improve things. A Mars-Pluto aspect suggests that you should probably go gently and plan strategies rather than push matters. Try to be as flexible as possible and adapt to changes around you. This is something you do naturally, but there can be some tendency to cling to certain methods or ideas with this transit. Watch for overthinking or saying a little too much. It’s best to take a little extra time with your words or to understand your needs better before communicating. As the day advances, it’s easier to focus on what you can improve and change. Less pressured and more detached energy is with you.

Cancer  

The Moon moves into your solar second house for a couple of days, dear Cancer, turning your emotional attention to building and developing. It’s a fine time of the lunar month for tapping into your patience and enjoying a steadier pace. In the first half of today, try to avoid fixating on certain issues that haven’t fully developed. Attempting to force a matter will only lead to frustration. If negative thinking or fears seem to be taking over, do your best to pull yourself out of a vicious circle. Be on the lookout for a suspicious or controlling approach, or people adopting this manner with you. A Mars-Pluto aspect active now can seem to pull out compulsive behavior or destructive habits. As the day advances, focusing on the areas of your life that you can improve comes more naturally, and it’s far more constructive. This is a time for recognizing the need to resolve problem areas so that you can clear a path for confidently going forward.

Leo  

In the first half of the day, dear Leo, you can be quite sensitive to signs of imbalance of power in your relationships, which could lead to frustration or resentful feelings. Or, you can be a little tense, particularly if you feel that you’re in a rut or a tough place. Try to rise above this and let the ideas flow. As the day advances, you’re likely to thoroughly enjoy wrapping your head around a problem and working things through. It’s a time for attempting to improve your social life or build a network or special friendship through your communications and gestures. You are also better able to put faith in your gut feelings and make decisions that are much more straightforward. The Moon moves into your sign today, and you crave a stronger connection with the world around you.

Virgo  

There can be an intensity to your nature or someone close to you in the first half of today, dear Virgo. While this can lead to exciting times, you may be clashing in your focus just for now. Nobody feels like bending at the moment! There may be irritating issues surrounding mobility or communications now. However, the day’s energies become more constructive as it progresses. A conversation or news can help you clarify your goals or take on more responsibility and feel better for it. Something now reminds you to set solid goals and to meet your obligations. The Moon moves into the sign just behind yours for a couple of days, and this suggests you may need additional rest, relaxation, and reflection. Winding down makes sense at this point in the Moon’s cycle.

Libra

Today’s energies are good for recognizing areas that could be improved, dear Libra. In the first half of the day, watch for power games played in close relationships, particularly one-on-one and family connections. The tension tends to come from insecurities, and these are revealed now. Keep it cool and real, so you can turn things around and get results. As the day advances, a strong desire to take part in activities that break your usual routine can figure strongly. It’s a good time for connecting with information that inspires you along these lines even further. Your thoughts are especially progressive and forward-looking, and your networks can deliver interesting news or ideas. You can experience an increased ability to focus as you gain interest in what you’re doing.

Scorpio  

You’re in good shape for enjoying studies or interests and sharing your thoughts today, dear Scorpio. However, in the first half of the day, interactions with others can be a little tricky. There can be stubbornness and a tendency to lock horns. Take a break from tense and demanding situations if you can, and consider that our perceptions may be a little distorted just for now. As the day advances, you might come across information that helps you envision your next step with an intimate relationship or financial situation. You are more aware of the things that you can bring to the world with the Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart, and there is responsible and accountable energy with you.

 

Sagittarius  

Today’s New Moon can prompt new beginnings or directions related to your close relationships and partnerships, dear Sagittarius. This lunation can point to a new or renewed connection in your life, or it can be about fresh negotiations and a stronger feeling for what you want from (and can bring to) a relationship. Aim to set intentions and goals that better reflect your redefined wants, needs, and expectations of others. Energies are powerful for a fresh start or turning point. New beginnings related to close relationship goals and needs are possible now. This can be about relating to others in healthier, more creative ways. You may come to meaningful conclusions about your relationship needs through the events of this time in your life. It’s also a fine time for seeing yourself through others’ eyes, taking steps to improve your connections with others, and finding ways to bring more balance, harmony, and beauty into your life, in general. Being more productive and getting your daily affairs sorted seems integral to this. A Mercury-Neptune square active today tends to confuse rather than clarify, but some diffusion may be just what you need right now. It’s better to reserve judgment on a matter until more information surfaces since it’s highly unlikely you’re seeing the whole story now.

 

Capricorn 

The more open and generous your approach today, dear Capricorn, the more rewards seem in the offing. A Sun-Jupiter trine helps you see the benefits of current projects and boosts your outlook, in general. There may be a romantic attraction that motivates you. You’re interested in growing and improving in your creative pursuits and connections, as staying the same doesn’t appeal. Your best self shines through in what you’re doing, and the day has every potential to be empowering. You’re likely to crave a change of pace or a break from the usual routine. You may be teaching in some capacity now, or you could be learning something new and different that’s inspiring. A new channel for expressing yourself might open up, and a surge of enthusiasm brightens your day and your vision of the future. Later today, a Mercury-Jupiter aspect comes into play, and routine tasks are unlikely to satisfy you. Your mind is wandering, or you’re dealing with a multitude of distractions. You may be seeking a higher purpose or something more satisfying related to work or routines and habits. While there can be some difficulties prioritizing, if you let go of this need, you’ll be in fine shape.

 

Aquarius 

This can be a fine day for cooperating with others, dear Aquarius, and good feelings tend to be reciprocated. There is a strong sense of mutual harmony and a general boost in feelings of peace and security with and through others. Still, you’re seeking a little more meaning from your pursuits or relationships than usual today, and you’re happy to see signs of improvement and growth. It’s a good time for tapping into your intuition. Radiating an expectation of success with people you love does wonders for you now, but so can some introspection. Later today, a Mercury-Jupiter influence suggests you may have too much information to make the bigger decisions, or the news you receive now is missing key points or is misleading. You’ll feel less stress if you let go of the need to find definitive answers today. Enjoyable activities are most relieving.

Pisces 

Today’s good for dreaming up big ideas that help boost your confidence, dear Pisces, particularly on social levels and related to your interests or studies. It’s a fine time for gaining trust or developing and growing a relationship or even a project. The Sun in your communications sector harmonizes with Jupiter in your social sector, and conversations are generous, open, and meaningful, although somewhat meandering later today. Networking can bring rewards or opportunities. You are more invested in your relationships today, and it makes sense to approach your day with an open mind and heart. A Mercury-Jupiter aspect also active today suggests that you may have too much to think about to the point of stress, perhaps related to your personal/home life or friendships. Meaningful, spirited conversations are favored over small talk, which can fall short right now
