Brainy Mercury’s entry into its earthy home sign sharpens minds with practical perspectives and analytical skills. However, this transit doesn’t last very long as Mercury is turning retrograde on August 2. It will back into Leo on August 8 before returning to Virgo on September 8. A great asset of this intellectually astute transit is its capacity to break down complex issues into easily manageable pieces.
You don’t need to wait until the Moon visits your impulsive sign in order to take an unnecessary risk. However, today’s Aries Moon provokes you to say yes quickly, before considering the alternatives. The Moon’s midday opposition to stern Saturn in your 7th House of Relationships indicates that a critical friend or partner could come down on you pretty hard. Don’t jump to defend yourself against someone else’s judgmental perspective. Remember, there might be a real lesson here for you to learn.
Perhaps you’ve been quite busy trying to keep up with everything that’s happening, so taking some time to be by yourself today sounds like a good idea. But now as you try to retreat it seems as if others won’t leave you alone. Although everyone appears to have a different idea of what you should be doing, it’s up to you to resist outside pressure by clearly establishing your boundaries.
Even if today is a workday, you may be more interested in the social aspects of your life than performing your job. You might be tempted to take a long lunch, waste time in idle chatter with your coworkers or look for other ways to fulfill your need for interaction. Unfortunately, your boss or some other authority figure could step in and prevent you from escaping your duties. Be smart; finishing your task list early in the day will leave you time to play later on.
You’re uncharacteristically eager to take charge at work today and others may be surprised with your actions. Although sometimes people assume that you are shy, you’re quite willing to be in control when you know where you are going. Just be careful not to indiscriminately share your feelings with everyone. Finding the right person to confide in can make all the difference in the world.
You might not be satisfied with what’s happening in the present moment, tempting you to escape into your dreams. However, withdrawing into fantasies isn’t a viable strategy for achieving long-term happiness. Thankfully, the courageous Aries Moon in your 9th House of Adventure prompts you to make changes in order to bring the excitement you seek back into your life. Nevertheless, you will still have to do what others expect of you prior to putting your big plan into motion.
Your friends and associates might have a hidden agenda today. On the surface, they may continue to support you if you retreat from the social scene in order to delve deeper into your own feelings. However, you can feel the pressure from their unspoken demands, provoking you to pull away even more now. One way to ameliorate the current situation is to let others know that you just need some time alone and will reconnect with them once you are ready to return to the game.
Someone close to you may seem a bit too aggressive as the Moon visits brash Aries and your 7th House of Others today. Thankfully, a lunar opposition to stern Saturn in your diplomatic sign enables you to clearly set the limits you need to feel comfortable. However, you could overreact and inadvertently push the other person away. Relationships require give and take, so remain open to continuing communication as long as your boundaries are respected.
You won’t likely sit around doing nothing today with the irrepressible Aries Moon activating your 6th House of Work. But you could be so enthusiastic about getting through your to-do list that you rush into your tasks before you consider the smartest approach. Unfortunately, you may waste time and energy without finishing what you start unless you’re willing to slow down, rethink your strategy and begin anew.
It feels like a playday to you, but promises that you made to others might prevent you from having too much fun. You may believe that everything would be fine if only your friends and coworkers ease up on you. But their expectations probably aren’t that unreasonable. Instead of scheming to escape or complaining that life isn’t fair, see how creative you can be while fulfilling your obligations.
The Moon’s opposition to your key planet Saturn puts you in touch with the emotions that often get in the way of your success. Ambitious Saturn’s presence in your 10th House of Career motivates you to set high standards and do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. But the impulsive Aries Moon leads you to believe that you can arrive at your destination faster by taking a few unauthorized shortcuts. Avoid the potential for frustration by doing things right and giving yourself plenty of time to finish your work.
You may be running around in circles today without having much to show for all your efforts. Instead of continuing to spin your wheels, stop for a while so you can reestablish your connection with the ground. Naturally, a more practical approach will help, but restarting slowly is the real key to gaining traction. You’ll be able to deliver on your promises as long as you don’t blindly rush ahead.
You may benefit now by adopting a steady approach to a financial problem that’s been bothering you. But ignoring the facts and attempting to solve the dilemma by taking aggressive action won’t be useful as the Moon in your 2nd House of Money runs into a tense opposition with stern Saturn today. Don’t try to shift the blame for a difficult situation onto anyone else. Take responsibility for your position and establish a sensible plan to alleviate the current pressure.
Hiding out might sound like a good plan, especially if you’ve been overdoing it on the social scene. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about being alone for long because you’re too engaged with others to withdraw completely. It’s simply time for some rest. If possible, you would be wise to coast for a bit while you can today, since you’ll be raring to go tomorrow when the Moon returns to your fiery sign.
You don’t have to agree with everything that others want to do today, especially since jumping from one project to another isn’t your preferred modus operandi. Actually, it makes sense to find some time to chill out and dream about your future, rather than being so busy running around. However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to avoid being part of the group for too long, so take advantage of the time you now have to relax.
Paying more attention to your career is a smart plan now that the Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility. However, your dreams can overtake reality when you’re thinking about your professional objectives. Instead of assuming that anything is possible, temper your vision with a bit of common sense. Remember, you can’t just believe your way to success; you also need a sound strategy and the determination to follow through with it.
Your emotional involvement in planning your future makes it challenging today to separate your desires from reality. You might believe that your perception of a current situation is valid, yet it’s colored by your opinions more than you realize. Instead of being overly judgmental now, simply describe an event without showing your bias. There will be plenty of time later to express your feelings when it really counts.
Your intuition is functioning very well today, enabling you to sense what’s happening underneath the surface. You don’t need anyone to tell you the details, but you should be careful because your perspective may be warped by an old fear that now comes back to haunt you. It’s healthy to remember what happened as long as you understand the difference between the present and the past.
You may be concerned that your schedule is overbooked today, but you don’t see any way to cut back on your activities. You’re usually motivated to be efficient and do as others expect, but your dreams can be more pressing than what’s actually happening right now. There’s no reason to frustrate yourself by trying to bridge the gap between reality and your imagination. Give yourself permission to explore idealistic possibilities without having to make any of them come true.
You cannot seem to get much accomplished today because you’re not being very practical. Your idealism is fueling your strategy and your plans may not be concrete enough. Unfortunately, you cannot fit your ideas into the narrow confines of a calendar. You’ll be happier now if you take action when you feel like it, rather than forcing your creativity to conform to someone else’s clock.
A creative stream of images floods into your awareness now, but you might have a tough time expressing your ideas to anyone. Although you could have a very clear picture established in your mind, it fades as your day unfolds. If you want to start a project that truly captures your imagination, do it today. Don’t wait for anyone’s approval because your excitement will begin to dissipate if you don’t act soon.
Today’s Pisces Moon feels like the beginning of an end. You’re ready to call it quits and start something new, but you may be jumping the gun. Stick to what you’re doing for another day, even if you’re already bored. You’ll gain more now by sinking into your feelings about your past than distracting yourself by prematurely changing your direction.
It’s challenging to manage your schedule today as the diffusive Pisces Moon moves through your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. You might even mix up the time of an appointment or meeting. But reining in control by paying attention to details won’t work either, for someone else may be the source of trouble. Practice detachment and let your plans unravel if they must. Don’t worry; you’ll be able to put the pieces back together in a way that will work better than your original agenda anyhow.
A concerted effort to demonstrate how important your values are won’t prevent others from ignoring you if they disagree with your ideas. You still might try your hand at making an intelligent plea to muster support for your point of view. Fortunately, your words may have more impact than you realize because it’s nearly impossible to get a clear read on anyone now. Say what’s on your mind and then let it go. Don’t judge your progress until tomorrow.
The Moon’s monthly visit to your sign usually brightens the colors of your dreams. The edges of reality are softened, luring you into believing something that may be quite irrational. Don’t try to distinguish the differences between fact and fiction today because some of your beliefs could cross the line, flipping back and forth without concern for logic. See what changes the next few days bring before you make up your mind.
You may be feeling somewhat deflated today, as if you’ve seen something you truly want yet know you cannot have. You could even grow annoyed with yourself for falling victim to your own unrealistic expectations. However, your frown can transform into a smile once you understand that you are the source of your confusion now. The truth may not be what you wished for, but it can still set you free.
You want to be on your best behavior today, but you still could get yourself into trouble if you believe that you can fix everything. Nevertheless, it’s tempting to overestimate the positive results of your actions. You appreciate a new opportunity, but may become frustrated if it disappears as suddenly as it arrived. Even so, there’s no reason for discouragement to come between you and another good prospect. Fortunately, your irrepressible dreams continue to pull you toward success.
You might not be able to justify starting so many activities now because your responsibilities require that you follow one specific task through to completion. Unfortunately, you’re feeling restless and more inclined to jump from one project to another. Ironically, narrowing your focus onto a single goal can actually open new avenues for exploration, so don’t be so eager to beat the system and move on too soon.
You would like nothing more than to live in a free-spirited world of sunshine and flowers today, but reality can’t live up to your fantastic expectations. Unfortunately, the Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Big Ideas isn’t very helpful if you need to focus your attention on more practical issues. Set aside a bit of time for aimless daydreaming, but then come back to earth and get busy with your work.
You could have the most amazing vision today, and by demonstrating patience and follow-through you may even be able to produce something special. Even if you’re not Beethoven or Rembrandt, a lack of artistic skills need not stand in your way. Although you would like your work to be appreciated, it’s more important now to be creative, whether or not anyone else notices what you do. Remember, it’s currently about the process rather than the finished product.
You can drive yourself crazy today if you try to narrow your attention on solving one particular problem. Unfortunately, the more you attend to details, the more your mind escapes the confines of the current situation as forced logic morphs into fuzzy thinking. Instead of approaching the current dilemma from a logical perspective, just imagine the desired outcome and start off in that direction without worrying about what you’ll do next.
You’re eager to share your ideas at work, but they may not be ready for an unsuspecting audience yet. It’s like a dream that makes perfect sense until you start to tell it to someone else — and then it quickly fades back into the shadows. Paradoxically, even your most sensible plan grows fuzzier as you elaborate on the details. Skip the wordy explanation today; you can bring others up to date in a day or two.
You really don’t want to waste time discussing trivial subjects today, but ironically, you don’t seem to be able to avoid it. You would rather place the endless stream of words on hold in order to intensify a current emotional dynamic. Keep in mind that you may have to engage in superficial conversations just to make it through the workday. It’s not an either/or situation; you can still make time to explore more meaningful topics later with someone you trust.
You’re enthusiastic about taking a journey, yet uncertainty is beginning to take root and you don’t understand why. Worries about your family or concerns about your own emotional security may prevent you from traveling anywhere, now. Fortunately, you can go somewhere without ever leaving home. The advantage of a mental excursion is that no one will even know that you’re gone. You can explore the distant reaches of the universe in your imagination while on the job and still return in the wink of an eye to answer the phone.
You aren’t averse to floating around in the realms of your imagination; however, you start to feel anxious if you go out too far in the process. You may struggle today if there’s no obvious way to return to solid ground, but your fear is more of a problem than the actual situation. You can avoid stress by consciously staying connected with your work. Be creative, but don’t fly so high that you get lost in the clouds.
It may seem as if you are losing touch with reality now, but this perception is only an illusion. People can’t see your inner process, so they don’t understand that you’re actually being very pragmatic today. You can take advantage of this temporary confusion since you don’t appear to be threatening to anyone. Be assertive and push for what you want. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results.
You are very smooth at shifting metaphysical gears and slipping in and out of the real world so fast that no one even notices your absence. Even heavy responsibilities won’t stop you from enjoying your mini-escapes to other realms today. But consider scheduling a block of time for your mental adventures, instead of trying to squeeze them into short moments here and there. Stretching your mind into imaginary places is healthy as long as you also get your work done.
Even if you want to stay home, today’s Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility indicates that you have a lot happening at work. You might have agreed to one too many projects and now you have to show up, even if you don’t feel like it. Thankfully, a methodical approach and consistent effort positively impact your progress toward reaching your goals.
You may be more determined than ever about taking an upcoming trip, even if your plans seem to be in jeopardy. Instead of just working harder, you will also need to think smarter. The Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure is motivational, yet a breakthrough can’t occur if you’re unwilling to step outside of your safety zone and try something new. A calculated risk may be necessary to make something big happen.
You might not want to reveal everything you know today, because withholding information could give you an advantage in dealing with others. Even if you try to talk your way out of a complex issue, you won’t be able to avoid some pretty tough questions now. But don’t expect any straightforward answers because there aren’t any. Nevertheless, if you want a relationship to work, you need to go deeper into your emotions. Shared intimacy is a reward that you must be willing to work for on a regular basis.
Today’s Full Moon brightens your 7th House of Relationships, stirring up a bit of trouble or excitement. A current partnership could run into a wall that requires you to focus on your emotions and communicate what you’re feeling as clearly as you can. If there’s someone new in your life, resolving a touchy conflict now can set the foundation for what comes next. Either way, you’ll do better if you respond directly from your heart.
You need to maintain consistency in your daily routine, but it’s challenging if your heart isn’t connected to your actions today. You are only able to pretend for a while before your behavior has a negative impact on the day. Nevertheless, the practical Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your 6th House of Habits, telling you not to make any drastic changes to your regular schedule. Hold steady to your course; you’ll gain traction again soon enough.
The Full Moon lights up your 5th House of Self-Expression today, prompting you to reveal your feelings rather than analyze them. But your key planet Mercury nervously aspects high-strung Uranus, making it tricky to find the right words. Instead of trying to respond spontaneously as you’re experiencing an emotion, let it pass. Share what’s going on only after you’ve had time to process what just happened.
You’re eager to shine your light at work now that the radiant Sun is illuminating your 10th House of Career. However, the Full Moon occurs in your 4th House of Foundations, indicating that a situation at home needs your immediate attention, too. You might think that you can’t do everything, but your logic need not stop you from trying. Be innovative and look for solutions that are outside the box. Ultimately, you’re capable of a lot more than you currently believe.
Today’s sobering Capricorn Full Moon floods your 3rd House of Communication with data that might be overwhelming to integrate. The intensity has been building for a while, giving you the chance to prepare for the hectic pace of events. Don’t hesitate to lean on friends if you need support. Surprisingly, they will respond more positively than you expect. It may take a few days, but you’ll be able to get the rest you need.
You have one foot in the past and one in the future today. The restrictive Capricorn Full Moon falls in your 2nd House of Values, binding you to old beliefs and traditions. But trickster Mercury is buzzing in your 9th House of Expansion, tempting you to leave everything behind and make a mad dash forward. Unfortunately, your natural tendency to aim high means that you could overshoot your mark. Focus on reaching a conservative goal now, instead of falling short of an unrealistic one.
Someone with authority may require your support today. Thankfully, you’re sympathetic to other people’s pain as the Full Moon sensitizes your 1st House of Physicality. However, you might also try to hold someone else’s angst distant from your own feelings to protect your heart. Unfortunately, this defensive reaction can prevent you from being in touch with your emotions. Consciously listen with an open mind and then respond honestly from your heart.
Today’s serious Capricorn Full Moon occurs in your 12th House of Destiny, foretelling the enduring consequences that your current choices can have. However, it’s easy to place too much importance on making your decision now and not enough on following through with concrete action. Don’t be so quick to talk about your plans; instead of putting your energy into unnecessary chatter, let others find out about your new direction from what you do.
You may think that others are trying to trick you into putting aside your personal agenda and following their plan as the Full Moon reflects the needs of your 11th House of Team Effort. Even if you’re an integral part of a workgroup, you might feel isolated if your ideas differ from everyone else’s. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to honor your instincts now and do what feels right. Don’t succumb to peer pressure just because you want to feel connected to others.
Your personal power is strong today. You may find yourself starting a new endeavor, or engaging n a new pursuit that is based in self-expression or spirituality. You’re connected with the world today, and it may be a good idea to jot it all down on paper.

The Full Moon in determined Capricorn opposes the Sun in sensitive Cancer, raising issues of whether to toughen up to deal with the outer world or seek cover in warm and fuzzy places. But as with all oppositions, there is truth on both sides of the equation. Rather than choosing to ignore inner needs or running away from challenges because they’re too difficult, this lunation reminds us that we have a full spectrum of responses available and can learn to flow from fierce to fluffy as we choose.
You are set on reaching your goals today and might not slow down if someone purposefully stands in your path. Unfortunately, confrontation isn’t the best way to respond. Recognize that you may be obsessive about whatever it is you desire to do, even if you simply want to rest. The truth is that it truly does make sense to relax now while you have the chance.
Your stubbornness can land you in big trouble now, or it can serve you very well if you are already on your desired course. But you might just need a little help from your friends to steer you in the right direction, even if you think that you’re not interested in listening to their opinions. Don’t resist the sensible advice of a trustworthy workmate today; remind yourself to remain open to all the good ideas you hear.
You may feel uncomfortably restrained by circumstances today, since you don’t have much leeway to express yourself creatively. You are being challenged to limit your thinking so your ideas will fit into the environmental constraints of the day. Even if it’s difficult, focusing your attention on a limited spectrum of possibilities may help you be more effective than you ever imagined.
Someone might get on your nerves now because it seems like he or she has a plan that doesn’t necessarily match up with your own. You lose patience when others assume that you’ll set your agenda aside to take care of them, even if you keep your true feelings quiet and just do it anyway. Common sense rules today, so stick to the most practical plan, regardless of who thought of it first.
You may have a hard time letting go of unresolved feelings today. You might not trust your senses, but everything finally seems ready to shift now. Others won’t likely notice the change, but that’s because they cannot see your inner workings. Nevertheless, you can’t keep up appearances much longer. Be careful; your frustration can alter the dynamics between you and your closest friends in a very subtle yet long-lasting manner.
You could be leaving on a spiritual journey that’s just for you today. You are exploring ways to reclaim your power, but the current dynamics might not support your growth. Don’t try to manipulate circumstances in your favor. Your strength will return naturally as you rediscover your metaphysical center of gravity. Realign with your core values and exhibit the highest integrity possible in all that you do.
You could be annoyed with yourself now because you didn’t let someone know exactly how you were feeling. Today you can gain clarity in a way that previously eluded you. Don’t question your analytical capabilities even if you are feeling incapable of integrating all the data at your fingertips. Worrying about your next move is a waste of energy, but staying in the present moment and observing your feelings has a direct, positive impact on your future.
You may be in a position now to receive emotional support that’s long overdue. Don’t try to avoid change, whether or not anyone comes forward to offer personal assistance today. Even with extra demands being placed on you, it feels as if your world has become a friendlier place. You may need to set aside an unresolved relationship issue, but there’s no reason to continue worrying. Instead, concentrate on keeping your balance as the big waves wash through your life.
You are relieved that things aren’t so hectic today because there are a few serious issues to handle. Unfortunately, you may be missing important information, but you’re willing to dig around for it. It’s not easy to relax now because there are so many different avenues that lead to fun and adventure. Nevertheless, everyone requires a bit of downtime, so accept any peace and quiet as a gift from the cosmos.
You are most content when your feet are firmly planted on stable ground. You like to know when to take your next step and exactly where you’re going. Although you may be feeling uncharacteristically uncertain today, it won’t last long. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy expressing yourself when the Moon washes through your sign. But you cannot afford to get lazy; do your planning now instead of waiting until you’re in the middle of the next storm.
You usually choose trusting your mind over relying on your heart when making decisions; however, the tables are turning now. You like the idea of intimacy and may be willing to sacrifice some hard-core data for an opportunity to intensify a relationship. You’ve been thinking about pushing past your resistance for a while, but powerful emotions can still make you uncomfortable. Remember, although you aren’t required to share everything all at once, it’s a good time to start turning fantasies into reality.
It’s smart to involve your friends and co-workers in your planning process now, for group participation makes your day more enjoyable and efficient. Others may enter the picture with important keys to your future, and if you don’t welcome their presence, you’ll never know what might have been possible. Don’t allow old fears of failure to sabotage your current dreams by discouraging you before you even start.
You may grow tired of encouraging other people’s ideas, especially if they don’t even seem to listen to yours. You want to maintain a positive attitude, but could withdraw your support if your irritation turns to resentment. Be careful how you express your frustration. Leaving close friends and co-workers to fend for themselves will only increase ill will. There’s no need to overreact; expressing your concerns is healthy, but you don’t have to alienate others in the process.
An unresolved issue with a workmate needs to be addressed as your key planet Venus harshly squares authoritative Saturn. You understand the importance of sharing your feelings now, but fear the negative consequences of being completely honest. Nevertheless, you must say what’s on your mind or people will draw incorrect conclusions because they lack the basic facts. Being kind to others will help you move through a conflict gracefully.
You may go through a day or two of self-doubt as Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Worth squares hard-nosed Saturn. Take time to consider what is most important to you, but don’t minimize the needs of others. Even if you aren’t happy enough to dance in the streets, don’t take it out on those nearby. Simply do what you must to make yourself more comfortable and then get busy with what must be done. Your life will quickly improve on its own if you don’t focus solely on what’s wrong.
Tough Saturn squares sweet Venus in your sensitive sign, signifying changes in your personal life. You are at the end of a cycle, but not ready yet to begin the next one. You might not be able to see the opportunities that are coming your way, but they are just around the corner. Don’t panic and try to make something happen, but don’t give up prematurely, either. Just accept that you still need time to process recent events before jumping ahead into something new.
You might be anxious today, even if you cannot logically determine the source of your feelings. There could be specific issues that you’re dealing with, but your worry might be out of proportion with what’s actually happening now. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to avoid your feelings; denial only strengthens them. Instead, pay careful attention to all physical symptoms without trying to control your sensations. Resistance is futile, so let your emotions ripple through the present moment. Tomorrow will be a brand new day.
In theory, you want to be included in a larger group of friends or associates, but you’re more comfortable being an outsider today. You might think that everyone disagrees with you now, and you may feel excluded even if you don’t voice your opinions. Ironically, you will be more accepted if you let your peers know exactly where you stand. No one can fault you for speaking from the heart.
Your ruling planet Venus, now visiting your 10th House of Career, provokes feelings of loneliness as she squares judgmental Saturn. Emotional stress that has been pressurizing for a while could suddenly explode and turn your professional life upside down. Instead of worrying about the unknown, embrace the upcoming shift. Even if you face a temporary setback, the lessons you learn today can help to reestablish equilibrium in your life.
The recent emphasis on your 9th House of Higher Truth enables you to see far into your own future. However, you might not be pleased with where your current path is now leading. But instead of allowing yourself to grow discouraged, concentrate on the possibilities ahead. Don’t alter your present course, even if you’re feeling as if something has gone awry. Today’s malaise will pass, leaving you with a clearer sense of what to do tomorrow.
You are a champ at making your life look fabulous, yet today you might be hurting deep inside where others won’t notice. You may even be uncharacteristically self-critical because your shortcomings are so apparent to you now. You will feel better if you share your new realizations with someone who will give you honest feedback. However, it’s not wise to blab about your secrets to everyone, so choose your confidants carefully before you entrust them with your heart.
You may feel lonely today as loving Venus in your 7th House of Others squares your key planet, Saturn the Taskmaster. You don’t like it when someone comes down hard on you or makes unreasonable demands. However, logic can’t help you decide how to respond now; trust your instincts, instead. If your gut tells you no, then don’t do it. On the other hand, if you think you should get involved, give it one hundred percent, even if you must set aside a previous commitment.
Your regular routine may feel oppressive today, yet there’s no simple escape route. Nevertheless, it’s still a smart idea to think about what you are doing and why you continue to do it. Naturally, breaking out of a rut sounds good, but maintaining the status quo feels much safer now. Don’t make any changes until you are ready. Your motivation needs to come from within to have a significant impact.
Others may think that they understand you well enough to give you advice; however, their false assumptions only serve to alienate you. Their expectations can be quite unrealistic, yet these unfair judgments hold power over you now. Don’t make any long-term decisions today, for your current emotional disconnection is warping your perspective. Be patient; a more positive outlook will return in a day or two.
The cool, quirky and innovative Aquarius Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups this weekend. This lunar transit is excellent for going out with friends to a new destination or connecting with someone special while working on an important cause. Experimenting with different people and unusual experiences is better than spending all of your time with familiar faces in the same old places.
No matter how cautious you feel early in the week, it’s time to take some chances this weekend. The unconventional Aquarius Moon may push you out of your emotional comfort zone, but it makes more sense to loosen up and play than to get too serious. A lighter attitude will also keep you from going to extremes, which you might appreciate when the party is over.
Plans can change in an instant this weekend, which should suit your curious and adaptable personality. But try to maintain a bit of self-control, especially on Friday when your brainy ruling planet Mercury hooks up with wild and crazy Uranus. Whatever goes through your head could pop out of your mouth and undermine your romantic intentions. Think twice before you say something you can’t take back.
It’s going to take a good deal of tolerance to appreciate and understand others this weekend. A desire to retreat to safe and familiar territory is understandable, but that’s unlikely to serve your romantic interests now. Opening up to discover new ways to share your heart and mind can take you on a thrilling ride. Let your love light shine and you might be pleasantly surprised by what happens next.
Expect an exciting weekend with the inventive and spirited Aquarius Moon lighting up your 7th House of Relationships. Emotions will be high, but fortunately, you can also remain objective enough to keep your feelings from going overboard. Spending time with open-minded people will help you discover joy and mental stimulation, making this an entertaining time.
Keeping order can be quite difficult this weekend as your logical ruling planet Mercury crashes into chaotic Uranus on Friday. Stress is lowered if you’re willing to adapt to sudden changes instead of trying to stubbornly stick to a pre-determined schedule or plan. The Moon’s move into your 6th House of Service could connect you with someone special through work or as a helpful volunteer. Romance can show up in the unlikeliest places, so keep your heart open just in case.
Don’t despair if you feel underappreciated early this week when stern Saturn scolds your ruling planet Venus. Thankfully, the Moon dances into your 5th House of Fun and Games on Friday afternoon, which should make for a playful weekend. Letting loose to express yourself is not only healthy, but may also be the best way to attract romantic attention. Creating your own special brand of entertainment allows you to focus on your needs for change, inadvertently captivating your audience in the process.
The Moon is in quirky Aquarius this weekend, reflecting a strange quality that may be hard for you to grasp. People need room to breathe, making it difficult to feel close or stick to commitments. Instead of working against this changing tide, get in the flow by letting go of any expectations or judgments about your behavior. Explore uncharted territory instead of trying to control everything in your environment. Romance happens when you least expect it.
You may not have to stray far from home to find some fun this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 3rd House of Nearby Places, which can connect you to interesting people and experiences in the course of your daily activities. Conversation comes easily now, making your gift for expression even more valuable. As long as you don’t get preachy, almost anything you say can captivate your audience.
Friday’s early morning Full Moon in your sign could bring relationship issues to a head, but the intensity quickly cools with a lunar shift into chilly Aquarius in the afternoon. Expressing strong emotions could push buttons, but your ability to regain objectivity can turn a potential crisis into a breakthrough — helping you get a fresh start with someone new or putting a current partnership on a more flexible foundation.
Ghosts from the past can rattle relationships with Friday’s early morning Full Moon shining in your 12th House of Secrets. Sudden revelations and awakened memories might make you feel less certain about yourself, or perhaps shake your trust in a partner. But if you can keep your mind open and your emotions from overheating, the Moon’s entry into rational Aquarius in the afternoon can free you to move ahead with a lighter load. Celebrate what makes you unique with those who know you best.
It’s understandable if you want to stay away from busy places this weekend. The Moon is hanging out in your secretive 12th House where your need for privacy grows stronger. Quiet time with one gentle person is all the entertainment you want, unless you’re so much in need of some rest that you’ll be even happier if everyone leaves you alone.
You’re very excited about all the possibilities in your life now that the fiery Sagittarius Moon is tempting you to push your limits even further. You could even believe that the signs are telling you to go ahead and do it all, even if you don’t have enough energy to keep up with such an active schedule. Be smart and practice saying no, or you might spread yourself so thin that you end up exhausting yourself and having no fun at all.
You may spend too much money on something you don’t really need, but impulsive purchases aren’t necessarily a smart idea today. Although you might regret your momentary lack of fiscal discipline, you could be motivated to act now if you think that you’ll lose your chance by letting the opportunity pass. However, the sense of urgency is an illusion and isn’t based on what’s actually happening. You can avoid buyer’s remorse if you simply take extra time to weigh your options prior to opening your wallet.
Your key planet Mercury harmonizes with pushy Mars in your friendly sign today, provoking you to talk up a storm. But however enticing a social invitation sounds now, you might need some time to relax away from other people. Everyone seems to be encouraging you to do more, but you don’t have to live up to their expectations. Instead of succumbing to peer pressure, listen to your own voice and do what sounds right.
The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment may mean that your big ideas about what you intend to accomplish at work today are not realistic. It’s healthy to remember that even your most sensible plans might need to be set aside if you’re distracted by something more interesting than your responsibilities. It’s not that you’re feeling scattered; it’s just that boredom is setting in. It’s okay to explore new avenues of expression as long as you follow through with everything you start.
You are highly enthusiastic about playing with your friends, even if you have real work to do today. It’s hard to get the fun and games out of your mind, whether or not you can participate in them. However, you may be tired of having to take the lead to make anything happen. Acknowledging that you deserve some downtime is part of your solution now; the other part is scheduling your day so you fit in some work and some play.
You feel as if you’re at odds with yourself today because you can’t find the right balance between too little and too much. You are naturally competent in handling details. However, your current extravagance tempts you to promise more than you can deliver, especially if you skim over a crucial piece of information. Thinking about all the possibilities now is healthy as long as you remember that your common sense is still your greatest asset.
Your friends may believe that you’re a bit imbalanced today, especially if your optimism pushes you toward big thinking. Although everything may appear better than it actually is now, you might overcompensate by seeing potential problems everywhere you look. Keep in mind that the truth is somewhere in between the extremes and it’s smarter to moderate your enthusiasm rather than going overboard in either direction.
You may not be willing to let go of your financial concerns, even if you’re more positive now about the future. The upbeat Sagittarius Moon shines a spotlight on your 2nd House of Possessions now and you recognize that your success depends upon consolidating your gains. If you try to bolt ahead too quickly, you may end up jeopardizing your progress. Allow your enthusiasm to build, but move forward cautiously until you build a momentum that you can sustain.
The Moon’s return to inspirational Sagittarius reminds you of how significant your feelings are to your happiness. Unfortunately, you are sometimes tempted to override your emotions if they get in the way of an exciting activity. However, you are unable to ignore what your body tells you today. Your moods are vital indicators of your overall well-being now, so pay extra careful attention to honoring what your heart needs.
Paradoxically, you may be very talkative today, even though you might prefer being left alone. You aren’t ready to engage with the noise of the world now and it would be wise to avoid unnecessary social events and gatherings of large groups of people. Initiating meaningful one-on-one conversations allows you to connect on a deeper level with someone special. Even if being accepted by a club or a clique could help you achieve your goals, save the socializing for another day.
You’re buzzing today as the Moon in your 11th House of Friends and Associates fires up your social life, even if it’s a workday. It’s not easy to stay serious about your job now, unless it involves interacting with your peers. You want to be connected with your tribe, even if it’s in a business rather than a personal setting. Fortunately, you’ll receive the support and admiration of your co-workers if you take care of your obligations as expected.
Your vision of the future captures the imagination of your associates today, leading you to assume a greater amount of authority. You may not want to be the boss, but others realize that you’re one of the few people who actually understand what’s happening. Don’t turn down a leadership role if you are chosen by your peers. Stand up and play your part; you will be able to step back with a sense of accomplishment later on.
Your impulsive reactions may create unnecessary trouble today, especially if you don’t acknowledge someone’s existing boundaries. There are times when it’s acceptable to push back against another person’s resistance, but it must be done in a thoughtful manner. Stop to consider if you may be stepping out of line. A healthy relationship depends upon your ability to respect your partner’s needs for personal space.
You may be quite optimistic today because your ruling planet Venus receives a positive attitude adjustment from joyful Jupiter. But anyone who actually takes the time to communicate with you quickly realizes that you’ve given serious thought to your current position. Others may be surprised by how practical your analysis is now. Nevertheless, it’s still a good idea to step through your plan one more time prior to taking action.
Reality comes back into focus slowly today, and it could take a few more days before your feet are both on the ground again. Nevertheless, you are tempted to milk an opportunity for all it can offer. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make a special moment last longer, but it’s also wise to pay attention to the cues you receive from others. Balancing your current desire to have fun with following a more serious agenda will give you the best of both worlds.
Your immediate environment feels more spacious today, giving you enough room to contemplate your feelings without judgmental restrictions by others. But this current openness may be daunting if you decide to share your thoughts, because you might not be able to figure out when to stop. Thankfully, you can use your common sense to balance your need for connection with your desire to be alone.
Although you may believe that you’re being adaptable, you’re more fixed than you realize today. Unfortunately, sticking to your original agenda might bring more frustration than happiness, especially if you pass up an interesting opportunity because of your lack of flexibility. Ultimately, it’s about trusting the process; letting go of control could turn an uncomfortable situation into a positive one.
You are happily surprised by the easy flow of feelings today, but you might feel challenged to maintain a cool analytical approach to your goals. Your subjectivity may have more impact than you wish, leading you to compensate by retreating into the safety of your logic. Although you are probably more comfortable trusting your thoughts rather than your emotions, shielding yourself from the uncertainties of your desires can also lessen the joy they bring.
Your ruling planet Venus receives a boost from jolly Jupiter now, lifting your spirits higher and higher. Although you want to be indulged by someone you like, there may be a reason why you won’t allow yourself to let loose and have fun. As crucial as it is to live up to your promises and fulfill your responsibilities, it’s also important to recognize that you will have more to offer others in the long run if you take some time to enjoy yourself today.
The Moon’s return to your sign brings wide mood swings, and you aren’t sure whether to feel happy or sad because each new opportunity also presents a serious obstacle. Fortunately, you should be able to work within the limits of nearly any situation now, as long as you don’t greedily expect something for nothing. Be willing to do the serious thinking, detailed planning and heavy lifting required to make the most of the present moment.
Much of what’s happening for you is hidden from others now, although they may think they know what you are experiencing. Fortunately, you realize that it’s wise to keep some of your feelings quiet, even though buoyant Jupiter helps you put on a great show of love and support. Don’t feel responsible to explain your thoughts to anyone today; it will be easier to discuss your secret worries next week.
You aren’t happy about dealing with someone if you know that he or she isn’t being honest with you. You intuitively sense when others are hiding their feelings, but you can’t confront them now or they’ll get defensive and slip deeper into denial. Your lesson now is to learn how to live with uncertainty. You won’t likely hear the rest of the story for a few days, so be patient and take comfort in knowing that you will discover the truth in time.
You like the positive vibes coming your way today because it feels as if others are encouraging you to be yourself. However, you can’t put your finger on something that doesn’t feel quite right. Unfortunately, you only grow more frustrated as you struggle to discover what you don’t know — especially because you actually might not be missing anything at all. There’s nothing you need to do now; your weird sense of uncertainty will pass. In the meantime, accept the support that you receive with humility and grace.
You are in a smooth emotional flow today, but you aren’t sure where the currents are heading. Thankfully, your destination isn’t what’s important; what matters is that you stay as open as possible so you can fully experience each moment. But this isn’t about escaping from responsibilities, for you still must fulfill your obligations. Don’t overanalyze what’s happening; your primary job now is to stay in touch with what’s in your heart.
You need an emotionally neutral setting so you can tell those closest to you how you feel today. Although you claim that you want calm and tranquil interactions, you’re also longing for a bit of excitement. You might not be worried by what others think of your choices because you believe that nothing can get in your way now. Unfortunately, you may inadvertently overstep someone’s limits. Displaying a little humility now can help you achieve personal satisfaction.
Your ruling planet Venus may bring sweetness into your life today in a way that is fresh and different. However, the opportunity you have for pleasure comes at a high price now. Keep in mind that your desire for simplicity means that you may have to set aside previous priorities. But don’t bother trying to get approval from a friend, unless you’re seeking to deepen that particular relationship. Remember, communicating your feelings isn’t all fun and games; it takes hard work and an open heart.
You may believe that you should be discreet today because you assume that your quirky tastes will appear odd to those around you. It’s true that others might judge you harshly because your current preferences seem weird in comparison to theirs. However, they might also envy you and wonder how you created the life that you’re living. Don’t slip too far away from social conventions. You have to follow the rules just like everyone else.
You could turn out to be your own biggest enemy today, especially if you’re trying to calm your concerns about your emotional security. You long for the safety of a nurturing relationship, yet you may grow restless with a new situation. Even if you want to break out of your restrictive emotional bonds, balance your desire for excitement in the moment with the stability that you ultimately need.
You may think that you know what’s best today and you’re willing to discard your old agenda if the right temptation comes your way. Unfortunately, your friends are not helping the situation by encouraging you to join them on their next adventure. Nevertheless, you need some playtime and may say yes if the invitation arrives when you are ready to escape. Just remember that your work will still be waiting for you when you return.
Your friends or co-workers might surprise you today with their resistance to going along with a previously agreed upon plan. You may feel as if there is a mutiny in progress, but the plot is more likely a cry for freedom than a play for power. It’s futile to restrain the free flow of ideas. Even if a conversation makes you uneasy, you’ll probably feel better once everyone’s concerns are out in the open.
Your plans are pulling you in different directions now, yet you realize you cannot take both paths. You’re not yet ready to close one of the doors in favor of another. Although you wish you were able to postpone your decision permanently, today’s events can solidify your thinking. Unfortunately, there are others directly impacted by your decision, and you cannot control everyone else’s reactions. Even if you are ambivalent, it’s wiser to just make a choice and then move on.
Your feelings are growing stronger, yet this can make sharing them more complicated than ever. You can easily talk yourself into keeping your desires to yourself now because you’re fearful of other peoples’ reactions to your intense passion. Or, you might believe that your inner process isn’t anyone else’s business. Although you have sensible concerns, you would be smarter to take a risk and show your vulnerability.
Your key planet Jupiter is naturally optimistic and today’s trine to intense Pluto can lead you to take your confidence too far. But looking good is easier today than feeling good. Although you aren’t purposefully faking your good mood, you’re still only revealing part of your story. Be aware of your tendency to hide your emotions because expressing them could be the catalyst you need to change an old behavior pattern.
It’s rather unsettling if you’re attracted to the exact same instability today that you typically try to avoid. But you may be totally fascinated by someone’s unorthodox style or radical ideas, even if you cannot see any practical value in it. Your unusual behavior might worry you, but don’t hold yourself back. Rest assured that your more traditional approach to life will return in a couple of days.
Your key planet Uranus can often be emotionally detached, but today it brings a sudden awakening of attraction and desire as it squares aesthetically pleasing Venus. But you’re not drawn to the same old things; instead, do something that pulls you into new territory. For now, the crazier your idea, the more satisfaction you can derive from acting on it.
You reserve the right to be different today as spacey Uranus activates beautiful Venus in your 5th House of Romance. You aren’t interested in being just like everyone else, so show off the twinkle in your eyes and enjoy the bounce in your step. Don’t be afraid to move to the rhythm of music that no one but you can hear.
You are tempted to turn every little insignificant idea into a world of unlimited potential. You can, as William Blake wrote, “see infinity in a grain of sand.” But reaching for the stars doesn’t mean that you will actually reach them. Nevertheless, just extending yourself beyond your normal limits can create opportunities that will lead you to a more fulfilling life.
No matter what you do to keep yourself on task today, you might not be able to resist an offer that sounds better than it is. Thankfully, you also need some personal space now, so you might be able to maintain a bit of distance between you and someone who entices you with a good idea. Don’t withdraw completely; just stay aware of what could happen if you leave your work undone.
Your key planet Mercury has you on a mental tilt-a-whirl today and it can be tricky to keep your bearings. Riding a wave of enthusiasm is fun, but you also have serious business to attend to now. Fortunately, your analytical powers are strong if you can remember to balance pleasure with practicality. But don’t try to take any shortcuts; managing your time wisely will pay off in the long run.
You may feel stuck if your emotions aren’t in harmony with your experiences today, and your growing impatience provokes you to justify your impulsive actions. Your highly opinionated manner and apparent self-confidence might be a way to hide your fear, but you could take things too far if you’re not careful. Take a deep breath and bring yourself back to your center before your unsubstantiated facts land you in a pile of trouble.
Your dilemma today stems from needing to find a healthy balance between overly cautious planning and acting recklessly. Thankfully, your organizational skills are operating efficiently today, enabling you to handle a lot of information. Nevertheless, pay attention to the practical constraints on your time and energy. You can be a star if you practice some self-discipline before you’re overcommitted.
Your approach to others can be very outgoing today, yet you would prefer to show more self-restraint. But the Moon in your sign could make you overly talkative, especially with perceptive Mercury in the spotlight. Don’t squander your mental resources; using words sparingly will give them extra impact. Remember, rambling on endlessly about your latest idea is not the best way to accomplish your goals. Do more and say less.
You are clear about your current responsibilities, but you don’t necessarily want to follow through on them. Part of your problem now is that you might think everything should be easier than it really is. Believing that you’ll magically find a shortcut through the hard work could lead you to waste time looking for a quick fix. Conserve your energy for doing what’s actually necessary to get to the finish line.
Stay away from philosophical or political debates today because you could actually be arguing with yourself, and not with anyone else. At times it might even be difficult to tell which side you’re on. However, you’re not really flip-flopping on the issues; it’s just that you can see multiple solutions that are sensible. Nevertheless, it’s better now to wait before committing to any one position.
You have a lot to do today because busy Mercury activates your key planet Jupiter in your 6th House of Work. Although it’s crucial to make positive changes in your daily routine, it’s not helpful to turn your whole world upside down. It can be tricky because it’s so easy for you to be distracted now by almost anything. Keep in mind that managing what’s on your plate currently is more important than dreaming about the future.
You’re often the champion of organization and planning because you can maintain a healthy perspective under pressure. Typically, you are able to calculate what needs to be done to achieve your goals. Today, however, your reality filter may be a bit off as everything seems to have greater potential than it actually does, so it’s wise to avoid making impulsive decisions. Thankfully, a bit of consideration goes a long way, so think twice and give your answer once, after your common sense returns.
You could set up a friend for disappointment today if you don’t establish limits on how much you’re willing to help. Your mind is racing and you’re tempted to agree to nearly anything just to quiet your worry. Unfortunately, this kind of logic won’t really solve the problem. Instead of taking the easy way out and then being unable to fulfill your promises, say what you’re truly feeling. The real answers now won’t likely be rational because they will come from your heart.
Your schedule may be overbooked today and this might turn into a real problem. Only one appointment needs to run late and your whole day could fall apart. Instead of setting yourself up for a disaster, take a more flexible approach. Something as simple as leaving extra time between events may be enough to prevent a major mess later on.
You may feel lucky today and appear capable of turning nearly any situation into a good time. You don’t even have to do anything special; just showing up seems to make others smile. The biggest danger now can come from being overconfident since your positive attitude is not able to cure everything. Acknowledging your limitations upfront can prevent that embarrassing moment when you might have to admit that you’re really human, after all.
You prefer to keep your life simple yet you don’t want to give up on your long-term goals. Unfortunately, you could exhaust yourself attempting to resolve your conflict about which path you should be following. You really don’t like being pulled simultaneously in different directions, because it makes it tough to go along with the flow. Standing back from your dilemma enables you to find a solution.
There is an uneasy dynamic between your anticipation of what’s next and your desire to hold on to the past. You could be moving faster than ever, but still cannot keep up with all the changes in your life. Nonetheless, even if you’re a bit overwhelmed, you might be okay with the uncertainty. Retreating from your hectic schedule is a wise strategy; you’ll be more effective if you wait a few days before pushing your agenda ahead again.
You may be experiencing the proverbial calm before the storm today, yet your fear of what could happen next might be more ominous than anything happening in your immediate future. This weekend can be a turning point, and your recent efforts should finally start to bear fruit. Be practical and prepare for the next round of change that is on the horizon.
Your life becomes more complicated because you’re able to see the truth today, even if someone is trying to hide it from you. Your intuition makes it nearly impossible for you to be involved in superficial interactions now. You’re not interested in what others think of your ideas; they aren’t up for negotiation. But there’s no need to act self-righteously since it’s easier to get along with your friends if you acknowledge that there are many ways to look at a situation.
Acting brilliantly may be a lot simpler than you think today. Even if you can feel the pressure, there’s no need to jump through hoops to demonstrate your reliability. All you’re required to do now is to show up with your common sense intact. Let your intelligence shine through, but don’t try to solve every little problem that pops up.
Although you might not have reached your destination yet, you are, nonetheless, at the end of a road. Your current position is challenging because your sense of falling short may leave you feeling frustrated today. Thankfully, you can ease the tension by simply shifting your perspective. The emotional landscape has already started to change, yet there will be plenty of time to reach your goals once the path in front of you clears again.
You have run out of patience when it comes to anything that isn’t already on your radar today. However, you still might become distracted if something interesting catches your eye. You could be annoyed with yourself if you succumb to following your whim instead of your schedule. Paradoxically, if you keep yourself on track, you still might wonder what you missed. In the long run, it’s more important to keep moving forward than wasting time worrying about which route to choose.
The fiery Leo Moon increases your vitality today, but having more stamina doesn’t mean that you’re invincible. Although you might believe that you have an inexhaustible energy supply, it’s not smart to take on more than you should. Unfortunately, looking to others won’t produce the clarity you seek; you’ll have to make decisions about what you can and cannot do on your own. If you overextend now, you’ll likely run into problems next week. Save your strength for next week when you will need it.
Today you may be expected to manage a complex issue that involves a financial transaction, or you might just be feeling pressure from the lack of clarity in a business relationship. Either way, resolution will probably be delayed because you need more information. Nevertheless, you are enticed to make a decision before your time runs out. Don’t make an impulsive choice just because everyone thinks you should have already made up your mind. Wait until next week when you have more data at your disposal.
A friend expresses feelings that catch you off guard, complicating your relationship more than you want. You prefer keeping everything casual and on a rational basis because the energy is simpler to handle. But you can’t go back to the way things were unless you take a path of denial. Unfortunately, avoiding issues only makes them more difficult to handle. You can try downplaying the drama, but actively engaging in a constructive dialogue should help to reduce the complexity.
It’s challenging to distinguish the separate threads of truth now, for they have already been woven with a believable blend of fact and fiction. This complex tapestry entangles your imagination if you overanalyze the situation. Be careful, for your false sense of accuracy can trick you into making a decision based on an incorrect assumption. Instead of forcing the issue, just appreciate the moment. It should be easier to sort yourself out in a few days.
Resentment can grow out of frustration if you can’t figure out how to bring strong feelings out into the open. Your regular channels of communication may be blocked today, leading you to internalize your unexpressed feelings. But your inability to say what’s on your mind has less to do with external circumstances than with your need to process a lesson that you have been trying to avoid. The obstacles won’t seem so overwhelming if you are willing to face the truth.
Now that your life seems to be moving in a positive direction again, you aren’t eager to have to slow down for any reason. Nevertheless, easing off the gas pedal is a smart idea because you could lose control if you’re taking the curves too fast. Although you might try to keep up with all your current projects, circumstances could dictate otherwise. Be wise and practice some self-discipline before things get out of hand.
You cannot waste energy and get away with it today because you are under pressure to get a lot accomplished and there’s very little margin for error. You don’t have much of a choice; you must pay attention to taskmaster Saturn as it gives you a stern reality check. However, just listening to the message is not enough. Narrow your concentration so you can focus on the most critical matters first.
You may retreat from a social situation today because someone hurts your feelings, even if it’s unintentional. You could take a setback so seriously that you just want to stay home and be by yourself. However, withdrawing is not the most intelligent strategy now. Instead of concentrating on your disappointment, figure out how to improve your productivity. If you are accomplishing what you set out to do, you’re less likely to have time to be bothered by the inconsiderate actions of others.
Although you may be the first one to say you want to have fun, it’s not that easy to set aside your responsibilities in favor of pleasure. Usually, you can easily discuss the alternative plans before determining the best way to handle the current temptations. However, your tendency is to keep your misgivings secret today. Push up against your resistance and take a risk. Others won’t judge you so quickly if you share what’s on your mind with them.
You are determined to maintain your integrity now by doing exactly what you promise, but distractions and obstructions continue to alter your course. You may be excited to head in an unknown direction, but you are on a mission and every setback brings more frustration. You can gain a lot of strength by staying on your spiritual path, rather than wandering around aimlessly. Remember, you cannot reach your destination if you stop to explore every alternative along the way.
It’s not apparent where so much resistance is coming from now, but you could bump into stone walls no matter which way you turn. Even your friends that are normally helpful seem to be blocking your way today. Thankfully, you have a secret weapon that you can use to your advantage: your ability to wait. Patience, combined with unflappable determination, is your ticket through this difficult obstacle course.
You are following a path that you have been down before. However, you discover that even paved highways have fallen into decay and are difficult to traverse. No matter that you were previously moving along smoothly, now every step is a small victory and you need to work hard to gain more ground. Today’s progress may feel good but will probably leave you exhausted. Don’t take on too much; it’s better to do one job well than to do several things haphazardly.
You do what you can to put your best foot forward, even in light of discouraging news today. It isn’t easy to overcome a setback just by changing your mind. There are other concerns about the people you love and your role in the community. You have a lot to think about now, but rest assured your perspective will be better tomorrow. Allow a couple of days for things to turn around before reassessing the situation.
Your somber attitude may be misinterpreted today as incurable pessimism; however, you don’t feel as negative as you appear. You understand exactly what’s required to reach your goals and are willing to do whatever you must to deliver on your promises. However, others may express their doubts now, but don’t let them talk you out of your beliefs. Approach the future with a realistic outlook to prevent unnecessary disappointment later on.
The connection between your current inability to express yourself freely and others holding you back might be more challenging than you think. In fact, your creativity may be squelched by Saturn’s square to the Sun. Be careful; don’t jump to conclusions today or you could waste a lot of energy incorrectly blaming others for your dilemma. Taking total responsibility for your own actions is a healthy place to start.
It doesn’t feel good if a friend suddenly withdraws his or her support today. The cold shoulder you are receiving doesn’t seem to be an appropriate response to your hard work, leaving you feeling angry and confused. Don’t waste time or energy complaining; instead, take the high road and finish what you started. The more you stay focused now, the easier it will be next week when the challenging Sun-Saturn alignment begins to fade.
Friday, July 1, 10:38 pm PDT, Saturday, July 2, 1:38 am EDT
The communication planet is enriched with greater creativity and boldness now. Self-expression grows more dramatic, sometimes to effectively make a valid point or grandstand with immature insecurity. The potential for original thought grows when we take our ideas seriously, but take ourselves lightly. This way the focus is on the expressive and entertaining sides of Leo, rather than on the need to inflate our egos.
You may be pumped up today, but you wish that someone else would pick up your positive attitude and run with it. You can grow tired of being the one who always gets things going. You could be ready to give up or you might decide to give it one more try. Although a complicating quincunx between pushy Mars and unrelenting Pluto makes it almost impossible to know what’s best, trust your initial impulse and don’t let doubt slow you down.
Although you normally have plenty of common sense, you might throw caution to the wind if someone appeals to your more adventurous side today. You may even begin a conversation with a friend about a topic that’s usually off-limits. But don’t hesitate just because you cannot tell where your discussion will lead. If there’s a disagreement, it’s not even necessary to reach a resolution now. No matter what happens, breaking the silence is a step in the right direction.
Impatient Mars is in your sign now, provoking you to take direct action, even if you don’t have a plan in place. But its ill-adjusted aspect to powerful Pluto can play out like instant karma and may quickly punish you if you don’t consider other people’s feelings before rushing into something new. A little caution is advised or you could inadvertently offend someone, precipitating more drama than you want.
Don’t let anyone bully you into promising more than you can deliver today, for your desire to help might convince you to take on someone else’s troubles. Offering your assistance may be admirable, but the unrealistic expectations of others could leave you exhausted now without anything to show for your efforts. Remember, being compassionate is honorable, but you won’t be able to save another person unless you save yourself first.
You need to inform your friends about your position on a work-related issue today. You would be wise to explain yourself carefully because you want their support. But you’re tired of having to tell your story one more time, so everyone is able to understand your next move. Remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition; consider your audience and readjust your message as needed.
Your actions may not be in full alignment with your intentions now. Although you have the words to explain what you’re doing, you lack the finesse to execute your plan. One strategy is to share your perspective based upon your analytical thinking. But then, set aside logic and do what feels right in your heart.
You would like to make your choice between two divergent positions today by finding a harmonious balance between the extremes. Although encouraging fair play is one of your strengths, it’s challenging when one person is saying “my way or the highway” so insistently that there’s no room to negotiate. You’re not the sole arbiter of the current situation, so you may need to relinquish control. Have faith that things will unfold as they should.
Your two key planets are warrior Mars and ruthless Pluto. These tough planets are in a difficult quincunx aspect today, requiring you to tone down your message. Manage your overall energy carefully, for not everyone has the ability to match your intensity. Your passionate nature is a blessing, but sometimes it can feel like a curse. There’s no reason to be afraid of your own emotions; however, it’s a good idea to respect the boundaries of those who are.
You may run out of patience today because you’re eager to explore what is beneath the surface. It’s particularly frustrating if you want to investigate a meaningful subject, yet others don’t understand what you’re talking about. Your friends probably have good intentions, but they aren’t able to slow down enough to notice what’s really important. If someone seems easily distracted, it’s a sign for you to retreat. Instead of pushing for a soul connection now, relax your agenda and make room for intimacy to happen more organically later on.
Everyone at work may get on your nerves because no one is doing what’s expected of them. Expressing your anger, however, isn’t enough today. Losing your temper doesn’t motivate anyone to get on track, nor does it improve your attitude, either. Self-control is tricky business now, for unspoken emotions can have surprising consequences. Your wisest strategy is to tell your co-workers about your feelings without placing blame or expectations on them. Your disclosure clears the air and allows you to move on.
You want to share what’s in your heart today, but you might become hooked on your own words in the process. However, your ability to stay emotionally detached is a mixed blessing. It’s fortunate that you are able to communicate objectively, but your actions may appear awkward. Ultimately, it’s better to take extra time to acknowledge your feelings than to act them out unconsciously.
Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries is often difficult for you Fish, yet today it’s even harder than usual. You can trick yourself into believing that your feelings are logical, but caution is advised. Impulsive behavior can take you to the edge of predictability. Slow down, even if your thinking is lightning fast.
Complications start to sizzle on Wednesday when your playful ruling planet Mars is sideswiped by forceful Pluto, triggering a struggle for power with a controlling person. Stay cool and avoid speaking or acting impulsively so that you can sidestep any potential emotional minefields. Practicing kindness to yourself and others helps to smooth over bumps in the road to relationship satisfaction this week.
Persistence is one of the strengths of your sign, but your determination could be more of a burden than an asset this weekend.

Instead of attempting to hold on to the past, you’ll do more for your personal interests by creatively initiating positive change for your future.
Friday’s Solar Eclipse activating your 2nd House of Self-Worth can lead to a sudden re-evaluation of your talents and your needs.

Sure, you may be on unstable ground and uncertain about what steps to take next, but logic has to follow feelings this time around.
This could be a very powerful week as Friday’s New Moon in sentimental Cancer is also a Solar Eclipse. Emotions may erupt from deep inside of you, which can muddy the waters of your relationship life. But if you’re willing to let go of the past, this cathartic process can be a healing event that finally frees you from old fears and memories of partnerships that didn’t end well. Change your perspective by embracing the amazing possibilities of the future, instead.
The Moon and Mercury’s entry into your sign on Saturday sharpens your mind and empowers your emotions. A little relationship drama is possible, but if you keep your sense of humor, the situation can end up being funny and creative instead of an exercise in frustration. You will be fine as long as you balance your need for attention with equal concern for your partner’s desires.
Reason is normally your ally, but your analytical skills might not be operating at the highest level this weekend.

Try to lighten your workload this weekend because Friday’s New Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility is a Solar Eclipse.

If you’re looking for mystery and intrigue, this is a good week to find it. Friday’s New Moon in sister Water sign Cancer is a Solar Eclipse that can unravel long-term plans. Drop your romantic expectations and do your best to go with the flow.

Friday’s Cancer New Moon is a Solar Eclipse in your 8th House of Intimacy that could rock your relationship world. If you’re single, attracting someone new and different is quite possible.

Keep in mind that the intensity will soon pass, but it takes time to navigate your way through the relationship maze.
Your relationship life is rocking and rolling this week with a New Moon Solar Eclipse falling in your 7th House of Partners on Friday.

The Moon slips into your 7th House of Partners on Saturday, which should amplify the activity in your relationship life.

A more playful approach to bursting bubbles can turn a sarcastic remark into a joyful moment that brings fun instead of embarrassment.
It’s a very complex week since Friday’s cuddly Cancer Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance.

Today is hectic, and it may be necessary for you to make quick decisions and put your leadership skills into action. Your senses are alert. Sounds, colors, and texture are strongly experienced.
