It’s an optimistic, spirited time when you have a chance to change the pace of your life if it’s been wearing you down or if you’ve felt in a frump or rut. There is strong energy now and in the coming weeks for those of you embarking on travel or higher educational paths, and also for branching out, whether it’s about learning or experiencing new things. Expressing your individuality and honoring special people in your life are also in focus. For some, this can be the start of a new publishing or learning effort.

The New Moon occurring this morning energizes your intimacy sector, dear Taurus, and stimulates a real desire to make deep, lasting, and transformational changes in your life, yourself, and your most intimate of relationships. The weeks ahead are powerful for making important and empowering lifestyle changes. For some, there can be opportunities to focus on issues of intimacy and sharing, as well as power dynamics in relationships. You may be examining just how much you depend on others for support, as well as your material debts. You might also learn important things about others’ motivations, as well as your own inner workings. It is also a favorable time to start a financial or savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting. The day of a New Moon is always powerful but also more emotional than logical, so observe and listen to your intuition now, and then begin work on the details of your plans going forward.
Gemini

The New Moon that occurs this morning energizes your partnership sector, dear Gemini, occurring in your opposite sign. This puts your relationships with others in strong focus, and can also act to clear the path for a new beginning, whether this is about a new or improved relationship occurring in the coming weeks, a new commitment, the opening of negotiations, a counseling or business partnership, or a new attitude towards partnering. Negotiations and one-to-one relationships are highlighted over the coming weeks, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to redefine or re-energize existing ones. Your social life is in strong focus with the New Moon’s connections to Mars and Uranus, and issues surrounding independence, self-assertion, and individuality are especially important as you go forward and make changes.

For some, expressing your ideas, learning, communicating, promoting, and publishing can be part of the package now as you aim to express your individuality through various mediums and seek to be heard.

The weeks ahead are for being brave and enjoying new experiences, particularly socially and creatively.
Capricorn
Capricorn
The New Moon that occurs today can stimulate you to take charge of a past or spiritual matter, dear Capricorn. This is a strong time for putting something behind you that no longer serves you well (or perhaps never did). There can be a few unknowns at this point, but it’s important to surrender yourself to this idea rather than attempt to micromanage your life, and in the process, to build your faith in yourself and the world. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find emotional peace of mind will be apparent now and in the coming weeks. There can be an increased need to help or support others, for behind the scenes or private activities, for making personal sacrifices, and for emotional renewal in general. Allow yourself to dream of something better, but don’t fall into the trap of deferring your happiness to a later date when you might achieve a goal.
Aquarius
Aquarius
With this morning’s New Moon, dear Aquarius, you’re moving in a new direction, and it’s more about your social life and happiness than it has been about your position, status, and professional life.

There can be a new beginning or new/revised initiatives now, and making contact or teaming up can be in strong focus. You are discovering things that truly make you happy, and things that have you feeling included and involved. If you’ve been unhappy with particular friends or group associations, or find yourself lacking in this area of life, the coming weeks are the time to take charge and make changes. It’s also a powerful time for new dreams and initiatives – the seeds of new projects or long-term goals may be planted now.
Pisces
Pisces

The desire to handle and manage your responsibilities can be strong now. Focus on improving the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional, and formulate goals for self-mastery and self-discipline – this is an excellent time for taking charge of your life direction.
