All Signs
This is an exciting week! It's time to indulge our love of fashion, art and beautiful things. Although we're all prepared to work, what we really want to do is have fun! (Yes - that "work hard/party hard" motto is alive and well.) On Wednesday, the New Moon takes place in glamorous, dramatic Leo. However, it is surrounded by disruption and exciting, new directions because on Tuesday, the Sun is at odds with unpredictable Uranus, and again on Wednesday, Mars is also dancing with Uranus. This means people are working, people are playing and people are eager for new ways of doing things. Life is full of exciting possibilities. "It's all I ever wanted since I heard about it a minute ago!" (This column may be monitored for quality assurance.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Of course, this will be a playful, fun-loving and romantic week for you. No question. Nevertheless, do be aware that sudden changes might take place that affect your job, your work and even your health. You might explore a new job. You might see a new way to earn money. You might meet someone unusual through your work. Surprises related to pets are also possible. This particular New Moon urges you to respect your creative talents. (You love hobbies and crafts.) What might be a new approach to how you use your talents? For some, this new approach might relate to a style of parenting; for others, it could mean new love. (Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a busy week for you because you're juggling a lot of things in the air. Social plans will constantly change. Surprise invitations will pop up. Ditto for cancellations. New romance, new flirtations, new activities, new hobbies, fun getaways and events that are amusing will be stimulating. Parents take note that this could be an accident-prone time for your kids so be vigilant. Pick fun clothes to wear. Be ready for anything - even an impromptu vacation. This week certainly sizzles! Meanwhile the New Moon on Wednesday is your best chance all year to consider how you can improve family relationships; and also what you can do to improve your home and how you enjoy where you live.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The energy for you this week is bright, crisp and full of possibilities because you will be full of new ideas and new urges. Wednesday's New Moon is the best time all year to think about your style of communicating with others. How can you speak better so that others really hear you? Likewise, how can you listen with more awareness? Meanwhile, something will upset or change your home routine this week. Could be anything. It might be renovations or visiting company. Or you might have new ideas about how to do things, or changes that involve home repairs, redecorating ideas or new ways to communicate to family members. Change is in the air!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a fast-paced week, and your mind is brimming with original ideas. However, this week you will encounter interruptions to your daily routine. Be careful because it's a mildly accident-prone time, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Nevertheless, this same influence could trigger genius-like ideas or a fresh approach to something. Note: If you want to begin something new, wait until Mercury retrograde is over, which is the middle of September. But to be really safe (if you're starting a new business), wait until the beginning of October. The New Moon this week is the perfect time to introduce new ways of handling your money and your possessions. Ka-ching!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You are empowered because the Sun and Venus are in your sign; plus, the New Moon takes place in your sign on Wednesday, something that happens only once a year. This is the perfect week to take a realistic look in the mirror to see how you can improve the image you create on your world. Wardrobe? Hair? Shoes? You will make impulsive purchases this week. (Keep your receipts.) Because an unpredictable influence might impact your wealth and your possessions, be careful. Lock your car. Protect what you own. On the upside, you might discover a way to boost your earnings! Certainly, with Jupiter at the top of your chart, others admire your success and want you on their team.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Get ready because this week has detours, surprises and unexpected happenings because both Mercury and Mars are in your sign sparring with wild, unpredictable Uranus. This will make you impulsive. You will suddenly do and say things unexpectedly. Likewise, the universe will throw some surprises your way. Please note: this is a mildly accident-prone influence for you so pay attention: be aware of everything you say and do. But aside from that, stay light on your feet and be ready for anything! Do your laundry. (You might need to pack fast?) Stock the fridge. (Surprise company?) All you can do is play things by ear and roll with what happens.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This week the New Moon is in your House of Friendships, which is the only time all year this happens. This means now is the perfect time to give serious thought to the friends that you have. Ask yourself, what kind of friend are you to others? Meanwhile, do you hang out with quality people? Do you like the friends you have? If you want to have more friends - be friendly! This is a good time to think about your connection with clubs and groups. Why? Actually, your associates are important because they affect your thinking, which in turn, affects your choices, which in turn, will affect your future. Your friends and associates are a very big deal. You might also feel restless with changes happening behind the scenes.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Others might surprise you this week. It might be a friend, especially someone younger? Or you might be surprised by someone who is competitive and a bit aggressive? Or someone in a group or an organization? Another aspect of this "fast surprise" could be that you decide to change your future goals? Someone might influence you or impress you, which in turn, makes you decide to change your goals? Meanwhile, the only New Moon all year that takes place at the top of your chart is happening this week. This dovetails with the possibility of you changing future goals because the New Moon will make you reassess your life direction. (Very interesting.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your interactions with bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures, including the police, will yield a few surprises this week. The painful one is - don't get busted. The best one is - a surprise promotion or good news! Something might happen that gives you great press, which makes everyone admire you. "I win!" One thing is certain, whatever occurs out of the blue, will be public. Others will notice whatever happens. Meanwhile, this week's New Moon is the best opportunity all year for you to make future travel plans. Where do you want to go? What can you do to expand your world with rich, exciting rewards? Think about this.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Travel plans are tenuous this week. Specific plans might be cancelled or delayed. Conversely, some of you will have to suddenly travel when you did not expect to do so. In other words, it's a crapshoot. This same unexpected and surprising quality might impact a medical situation or a legal matter. It might also affect your educational plans or something to do with writing a paper or a manuscript or taking a course. "And then, just like that - it was over." Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, this week's New Moon urges you to take a fresh look at how you handle debt, shared property, and anything that you own jointly with others. It's time to reassess inheritances and estates. Heady stuff.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Please know that this is the best week of the entire year for you to give serious thought to how to improve your closest relationships. That's because the New Moon this week (Wednesday) takes place opposite your sign (the only time all year) giving you a wonderful chance to set new goals, intentions and resolutions about how you relate to partners, close friends and spouses. (There's always room for improvement - this we know.) Meanwhile, keep an eye on banking situations and anything to do with shared property, debt and inheritances because there will be some surprises and unexpected events impacting these areas. Don't be caught asleep at the switch.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A close friend, spouse or partner (professional or personal) will surprise you this week. They might have an unexpected suggestion? They might want to redefine the relationship? They might want more freedom in the relationship? Alternatively, you might meet someone new who is a real character. They're unusual and exciting. Quite possibly, they will make you feel younger and more cutting-edge. Meanwhile, the only New Moon that happens all year in your House of Employment is taking place. Each New Moon is the perfect time to new resolutions, which is why now is the time to initiate ideas about how to improve your job. You can also make goals about how to improve your health. Ideas?
