ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Moon hangs around your 12^th house for most of the day, Ram, keeping you stuck in thought and captivated by creation. Artistic aspirations and dramatic dreams are sure to motivate you through the morning, though it’s best to stop and reflect on what you’re trying to achieve right now. When it’s time to bring concepts to life, the day should be utilized to physically forge or market your brainchild and blueprints. Others may find pride and passion are in scarce supply. If you catch yourself at a crossroads and uninspired that’s a cue to tap back into the spirit. Take some time to meditate and focus on what you wish to see in the future. Some solitude and sentimental reflection should refuel the fires of your soul and bring you back together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)^: The Moon keeps it cool in your 11^th house today, Bull, supporting friends and hopes for the future. Trending topics, besties, and the benefits of life should be on your mind as you rise, instigating action and approval. It’s likely that the peace is disturbed at some point when security is compromised or agendas need adjusting. If you need guidance within a group a last-minute meeting or video call is in order. Gather everyone together, get on the same page and try to find a quick solve out of sticky situations. If issues and itineraries are out of your control right now, then it’s better hold off and wait for a lead. Settle down, sit in spirit and wait for the cards to fall as they should.

GEMINI (May 21-June20): The Moon provides inspiration another day, Twin, as she promotes your 10^th house through evening. You should rise with a dreamy drive and plenty of creative ideas, prompting you to do things quite differently today. Take note of your position before making any adjustments - you’re susceptible to embarrassment if you inhibit another and gains if you empathize with the boss and crew. Simple steps should be taken if you wish to expand and improve your qualifications, so don’t hesitate to do the work on yourself. If misunderstandings and misalignment are causing stress at work or home, it’s probably best to take the backseat for now. Set aside time to reflect, pray, and ponder if a problem has you feeling out of sorts or out of line.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Moon keeps your mind and manners pure today, Crab, as she journeys through your 9^th house still. You should rise feeling fine, though finding a little bit of freedom urges you to make spontaneous moves. As you kick around plans, resources and confidence could dampen your dreams just a little. Some will find that a leap of faith is in order, so listen to your gut and go for it. Taking the chance on honest investments and teaching opportunities brings you in line with honor and escape. For large scale issues and travel it’s best to hold off and tune out for a time. Take a trip down memory lane and realign with your soul before solidifying and penciling in big plans.

LEO (July 23-August 22): The Moon fires up desires another day, Lion, as she hides out in your privacy sector for the most part. As you rise, fantasy and private affairs will take precedence and pull you towards someone special. If you feel empowered it’s best to embrace your sweetie and plan for a bonding sesh. Take morning for pillow talk or suggest an intimate dinner for two - the time for compromise has arrived. Trust your gut if you feel the need to keep quiet today, as some private problems are too large and lengthy to pursue just yet. Don’t be afraid to invest in yourself when needing to think, plan, or pray through dark thoughts. Elevate yourself and bid a blessing from above if you need a boost.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22): The Moon has you deep in thought today, Virgo, as she hangs around your relationship realm through evening. Dreamy illusions or emotional debates may dawn on you with the day, depending on your current state of affairs. If you feel the need to do something, it’s best to be proactive and do it. Follow your heart and present your case or crush as you see fit – or be silly and spoil honey if it’s a long-term thing. Lingering strife from the full moon keeps some issues and relations in confusion. When you feel the chaos is too much to power through it’s best to back off a bit – pray for peace and meditate for peace of mind.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22): The Moon keeps things kind of in line, Libra, as she hovers around your 6^th house another day. Romantic visions could see you bewildered and a little out of it this morning, so do your best to mind those P’s and Q’s. Utilize the optimistic and starry-eyed view to add spice where life’s a bore, but be realistic. Personal problems will benefit from flexible moods, so take action if you’re prompted to compromise with those around. Be the leader and show how compassion cures. If matters are heavier, it’s best to wait and meditate. Take time alone to service and purify yourself and remember that healing starts internally.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): The Moon keeps romance alive another day, Scorpio, as she illuminates your 5^th house through eve. You should rise feeling in love and creative, cuing you to make dramatic moves. When work projects and personal affairs push you to be proactive it’s best to take the lead and show off. Accept it as an opportunity to positively influence and impress those around you, just be careful you don’t go overboard and end up embarrassed. If you feel like love or a life goal is unachievable right now that's a prompt to ground your mind, body, and spirit. Set aside time to meditate, pray, and recenter personal powers.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): The Moon is heavy today, Sag, as she hangs around you home zone. You may rise and feel low, either upset or lacking motivation. Give yourself plenty of time to move through morning and find peace within yourself. Discord and discomfort around the home or somewhere in the fam might have you on edge. Stay alert to the vibes of others if the code of conduct needs adjusted. Getting everyone out for a little while should be an easy solution to discord, though bigger concerns prompt you to practice the pause. When butterflies build up or nerves stop you in your tracks it’s best to activate the spirit. Close your eyes and find comfort through meditation, especially if you need to find the words to agree or disagree.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): The Moon sees you busy but close to home, Cap, as she rolls through your 3^rd house most of the day. While the agenda is already full it’s likely a personal problem or community concern motivates you to make another change. Wait for an odd message or discomforting feelings to arise before doing anything drastic. If another’s behavior urges you to act it’s best to reach out, be blunt, or clean the block yourself. Otherwise, a private stance should do. If you feel guarded and at odds with another over budding issues, it’s best to postpone and practice mindful meditation or prayer. When in doubt think things out, especially if you need to speak from the soul.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): The Moon keeps an eye on your coffers today, Water Bearer, as she glamorizes your 2^nd house. You should feel inspired to invest or indulge in a fantasy this morning, though someone or something might be standing in your way. When lovers challenge you or supplies are scarce, choices will be brought on. Some may find that physical action is necessary to show and ask for support, while the rest see the situation is uncontrollable right now. Slow down and look at things from a higher perspective. Let confidence guide you forward – prideful vibes point towards good deeds while fearful feelings urge you to center yourself and contemplate grace.

PISCES (February 19-March 20): The Moon illuminates your sign another day, Fish, boosting the ego and helping you find fresh focus. Personal agendas and life goals should take precedence through morning - just keep in mind that slow and steady wins the race. Funky boundaries and concerns with welfare threaten to sidetrack you as the day comes to a head. You should be prompted at some point to speak up or standstill. You’ll need to decide if it’s best to get on the line, set up a meeting or wait for mightier hands to correct the chaos. Unhealthy thoughts and low spirits point towards the need to connect to your core. If you feel down and out it’s best to meditate, pray, and manifest a miracle.
