All Signs
The Full Moon is not a one day thing: it lasts for about five or six days. There's a gradual buildup of tension before hand, then a slow diminishing afterward. Each Full Moon feels different because it occurs in a different sign and has different energy. When the Full Moon is in a "Fixed Sign" (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius) it's the toughest. And that's what we have this week! Full Moon in Aquarius. (The good news is other planetary influences are mellow.) Full Moons are hairy because the Moon affects our emotions. The trick to handling this is to put your peeves on hold. Wait until your strong feelings have passed before you vocalize your beef. That way your beef will be more tender which is handy if later, you have to eat your words. (Gulp!)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Don't get your belly in a rash over issues with children. Remain calm. Similarly, don't get excited about show business and the entertainment world, as well as the hospitality industry, resorts, spas and theme parks. All this fun stuff could be a source of tension! In fact, heightened tension is likely if children are part of the picture, or romantic entanglements, or both! To best handles this please read All Signs above. When you're angry or annoyed, you go off like a rocket or a fire cracker (depending on the intensity of your feelings.) Cool your jets! Pick another time to tell it like it is. Don't be a slave to your knee-jerk reactions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Every year, there are two Full Moons that force you to make a decision about what or whom to put first - home, family and your domestic life versus career, reputation and your external world. Hey -- you can't please both. This juggling act has arrived once again because of the particular Full Moon you're facing this week. Since Jupiter is beautifully favouring your career; and the Sun now demands that you give your home, family and domestic life your top focus -- your decision is easy. Make home, family and your private life your priority. It doesn't mean you have to ignore what's happening with your job, but you have to know it's home that counts (in a manor of speaking).
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Be careful! This is a slightly accident-prone week; but accidents don't have to occur. (It's not like there's an accident waiting to happen.) This week, the accident-prone quality is you! In other words, your own distraction or haste could cause you to overlook something which leads to an accident. Therefore, all you have to do is slow down and take things easy. Be aware of your words and actions, especially because Mars is in your sign making you unusually assertive and aggressive! When talking to others, you want to be right; and you want to convince others to agree with you! I say, lighten up; and don't play leapfrog with the unicorns.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Financial concerns or perhaps concerns about shared possessions or things you have to guard or be responsible for could be a pain in the neck. Or if your concerns are not about money or possessions, the conflict you face might be about values. Perhaps you're forced to deal with somebody else's values which don't agree with yours? This is tough. We think our own values are right. Maybe you need to consider the background of the other person? What has transpired before to create their particular values? An appreciation of where they're coming from might help you to reach a win/win solution. (Or not.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Because every Full Moon is an opposition of the Sun and the Moon, you're part of the Full Moon equation this week since the Full Moon is in Aquarius! Because this Full Moon directly opposes you, you'll feel increasing tension with partners and close friends. (There's no way around it.) Since this is going to be the case, you can either have a miserable time fighting with people, or practice patience, tolerance and develop an understanding about the situation so that things are more mellow, maybe even pleasant? The choice is yours. You have the power of response. (And remember: the Great Lakes died for our sins.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
An underlying tension could be building up within you this week. No doubt, there are external details that are triggering this. You probably won't feel really calm again until Sunday or Monday the 9th and 10th. It could be related to your work or your health. Hopes and fears are big things we have. We hope, we hope, we hope; or we fear, we fear, we fear. Right? Ironically, none of these things necessarily come to pass. They're in the future not the present. My piano teacher used to say, "When sweeping the floor, just take care of the corners because the middle will take care of itself." When you think about it -- it's very true.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tension with others is likely this week. This is difficult because you like to get along. You like things to be harmonious and smooth. You don't like to rock the boat (although you often do)! Therefore, for your own peace of mind, don't take the bait if someone is rude to you or gives you the cold shoulder. Rise above this. Be gracious. When you have this kind of reaction -- it will really bug them for sure! Now they look like the petty, odious, pernicious, little vermin that they truly are. While you look like a Clairol ad - running with open arms freely across the fields - not a nasty thought in your innocent mind.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The Sun at high noon in your chart now acts like a spotlight making others see you more than usual, especially parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. (Get it?) You're noticed! Meanwhile, back at the ranch, this Full Moon is raising havoc with you at home, or with a family member, or with something to do with where you live. It's hard to keep a lid on everything and make things run smoothly. ("That way lies madness!") Well, we all know Kipling's "If you can keep your head when all about you are having a bad hair day" -- so this is what you have to do. Don't lose it. Be cool. Why makes things difficult with family since they're here forever. (Duh?) On the other hand, don't lose your day job.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a mildly accident-prone week for you, so be careful. In other words, if an accident occurs, it's likely due to your own haste or distraction. And by accident, I'm referring to verbal accidents as well as physical. Therefore, watch what you do and watch what you say. Mars is opposite your sign now making it very easy to feel annoyed with others. Naturally, they are being jerks, and you have to put up with them; nevertheless, the result is the same - annoyance and discord. Remember: if you act with discipline, you'll have no regrets. And who wants to be regretful later. Not you!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Money, money, money. The Full Moon this week creates tension about financial concerns. This could relate to inheritances, shared property, insurance matters, loans, mortgages, taxes or debt. If you're in charge of somebody else's property or responsible for something, it could relate to that too. It's hard to know where to draw the line. Obviously, you have a responsibility to yourself and your own financial scene; yet you also have to consider others. Where's the balance? The good news is Venus now smooths your partnerships and relationships; while Mars makes you work hard. Just focus on what's good. The dust will settle soon.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This week is the only Full Moon in your sign all year. Naturally, it makes things prickly with close friends and partners. For starters, you need more rest. You're stretched too thin. (The Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy.) This Full Moon in your sign makes you emotionally intense, and inclined to react to the stupidity and insensitivity of others. Hey, sometimes you can just laugh it off, right? But not this week. Just go with the flow. You've got energy to play and have fun! Romance and sex are exciting (if you're still on speaking terms). By Monday, everything is groovy.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your focus is on work, employment, important tasks at hand, and your health. That's where it's at for you this week. However, it is these very areas that are challenged by the Full Moon! You have a lot on your plate. Tension at home due to conflict within the family, or renovations, or increased chaos for whatever reason will to add your stress now. Fortunately, romance, playful times with children, the arts, sports, vacations and fun, and social occasions are a relief! Party on! Have faith that the tension you feel about your work or your health will be over by the beginning of next week. In the meantime, e njoy yourself! And remember that a hangover is simply the burden of proof.
