All Signs
On Wednesday the 27th, ego battles and power struggles will break out among many people. Immediately following that, Thursday night is wantonly passionate. (Make-up sex?) But aside from that, it's a pretty straightforward week leading up to the New Moon on Saturday the 30th. Each New Moon is a chance for us to set new intentions or make resolutions in different areas of our lives. Because each New Moon is in a different sign each month, those resolutions will vary throughout the year. This New Moon is in Virgo, which means it's the perfect time to make resolutions about how to improve your health and general well-being. Even just the wish! A thought, desire or intention is the beginning of everything we do; and as the saying goes, "A good beginning is half done." (But of course, procrastination is better than quitting.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The New Moon on Saturday the 30th is perhaps the best chance all year for you to look in the mirror and get serious about whatever you can do to improve your health. It could involve diet changes, weight loss, a new exercise regime ("New? Let's just begin something!") I think it is easier to stop doing harmful things than it is to introduce new habits. However, generally a combination of these two approaches is best. (For example, drinking less coffee and drinking more water.) Ego battles mid week with partners and close friends are likely. Fortunately, you have a short fuse and you don't carry a grudge. It's all good. Just remember: Never eat more than you can lift.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Mid week you'll feel very intense and quite hot and bothered about something at work. Co-workers could really get to you. Fortunately, it's brief. Resist the urge to tear a strip off someone, which is not your style. Instead, focus on the New Moon at the end of the week on Saturday the 30th. This is the only New Moon all year that wants you to figure out how to have more fun in life! Tap into your creative potential. Take up hobbies or arts and crafts with the enthusiasm of a child. (It's the doing that counts the most. (The process not the product.) You are a verb, not a noun. How can you have more quality time with your kids? New romance might knock you off your heels. Yeehaw!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Right now you're unusually focused on home, family and real-estate matters. You're doing things to make where you live look more attractive or possibly to increase its value. You'll be devoting more time to relatives, family members, reunions and personal responsibilities. It's also a good time for home repairs. Parents will have to be patient with children during midweek. Avoid power struggles. Romance is unusually hot and passionate. Woo, woo -- some of you will have juicy fun! The Moon on the 30th is the perfect time to come up with ways to improve your home, and your relations with family members. What can you do to make your home and family life happier?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
In many ways, this week is all about your style of communicating to others, especially daily contacts, neighbours, relatives and siblings. It's a fairly fast-paced week due to short trips, errands, and increased buying and selling. Plus you're talking to everyone! Family squabbles midweek might upset you and others. Tread carefully. Anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. The improvements you want to introduce at home will happen one way or the other -- just be patient. On Saturday the 30th, think about what you can do to improve your communications with everyone, but specifically with siblings and relatives. (Some people have a way with words -- some not have way.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Without doubt, you're focused on cash flow, earnings and purchases right now. You're thinking a lot about your finances and probably how you should tighten your belt. When you have cash in your pocket, you spend it! In addition to which, you're extremely generous. Don't come on too heavy with others midweek simply because you're obsessed about something. It looks like you want to convince everyone to agree with you. Lighten up! If you really have to buy something on Thursday, just do it. By Saturday, when the New Moon occurs, you'll be ready to make thrifty resolutions to get out of debt. And so it goes.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a big week for you. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all in your sign; and on top of that, the New Moon on Saturday the 30th is in Virgo as well. It's all about you! Furthermore, all this Virgo energy will attract opportunities and important people to you. Don't be too pushy on Wednesday. It looks like you could be obsessed about something then. You're definitely riding high with enthusiasm about something. On Saturday, take an objective look in the mirror. What can you do to improve your image in the world? Remember: You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Two separate celestial influences are at play this week. Mars is now in your sign giving you increased oomph and energy. It makes you more aggressive and much more of a fighter for your rights than usual. Physical exercise and physical activities will appeal now because Mars rules your muscles. However, a totally different planetary influence wants you to play it low key and work behind the scenes and just lay low for a few weeks. So you'll probably dart in and out of things. Now you see me; now you don't. On Saturday the 30th, give some thought to the values in your life. What really matters? It's essential to know this.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
It's a busy time and everyone wants a piece of you. You're pulled in many directions right now because friends, groups, clubs, organizations and partners all want to talk to you! This is good. You're comfortable with your popularity, plus this is an excellent time to formulate long-term goals and objectives and bounce them off others. Feedback from others will definitely help you now. Be careful on Wednesday because arguments about money and possessions could stall you. Go easy here. Saturday's New Moon is your chance to figure out how to have improved friendships and relations with acquaintances.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
With a gaggle of planets at high noon in your chart, you're definitely thinking about your long-term direction in life as well as your relationships with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. How do you get along with the authority figures in your life? This week it looks like you can impress them, with the exception of possible power struggles on Wednesday. Keep your zip lipped. No need to sound off about something and then later be forced to retract your words or apologize. Just be cool. Saturday's New Moon is the day to lay out your overall plan for the next five years. You can dream, can't you?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Travel plans and matters related to publishing, the media, higher education, college and university, medicine and the law are still your strong focus. Because you're intent on accomplishing something in these areas, you might get entangled with an authority figure -- boss, parent, teacher or any other VIP. Don't cross swords with this person! You might only arouse more opposition. Instead, detach yourself from compulsive feelings and play it cool. The New Moon on Saturday the 30th is your best chance all year to think about how you can expand your experience of the world. Should you take a course? Should you travel? Should you read more?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is an intensely, passionate, private, powerful week for you. You have secrets! You're forced to deal with inheritances, insurance matters, taxes, debt and the responsibilities you have for other people's possessions or wealth. This is a lot of red-tape stuff. Just do it. Midweek, you might have arguments about how to share something. Or arguments about debt and other people's property. You want more freedom of action right now. Travel and higher learning appeal. You need a change of scenery; and you need a sexy partner because your gonads are in overdrive. It's not a boring week. ("If it weren't for pickpockets I'd have no sex life at all.")
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A strong concentration of planets directly opposite your sign continues to force you to focus on partnerships and close friendships. These partnerships can be intimate or professional or both. The placement of Mars now revs up your sex drive, which further intensifies your close relationships. It's easy to fall into arguments on Wednesday. Try to avoid this. They will simply be obsessive and silly, but so important at the time! Thursday is marvellously passionate. But your big opportunity is Saturday the 30th when the New Moon offers you a chance to make some private resolutions about how to improve your partnerships and closest relationships. This is something that's important to you, so why not give it some serious thought?
