Early in the month, we get a nourishing and supportive new moon in Cancer that aims to assist us with whatever goals we set. Since Cancer is all about kinship and heartfelt connection, this new moon could help us find the right people to assist us with our efforts. For those of us feeling inclined to give back or to do something for the greater good, this lunar phase is an ideal time to start.  

When Venus enters bold and confident Leo, we’re called to take ownership of our own pleasure and happiness rather than making others responsible for it. While go-getter Mars is in curious Gemini, the timing couldn’t be better for getting out and going to new places or exploring new interests.

After June’s full moon in Capricorn, July brings us another one. This time around, it will be less about taking on work and responsibility and more about stepping away from obligations or commitments that have become more trouble than they’re worth.

When Leo season arrives, it will officially be our cue to turn up for the summer. We should aim to enjoy ourselves as much as we can, because once busy Mercury moves home to hardworking Virgo, it will be back to business.

Not only will you have magnetic Venus in Gemini helping you to forge valuable relationships with influential people, but when Jupiter, the giver of gifts, also enters Gemini for a yearlong stay, you’ll be poised to make some professional leaps and bounds. Meanwhile, the full moon in Sagittarius may bring up a home or family matter that needs your attention. Approach the situation with honesty and intuition, and you’ll achieve a positive outcome.

Libra

May might start out a bit reclusive and moody, but with all the change and transition you’re going through, it may be par for the course. On a positive note, the Taurus new moon, which activates your zone of security and transformation, can be instrumental in helping you find the resources, strength, or healing you need. It can also aid you in finding the courage and determination necessary to push past obstacles. When analytical Mercury gets to Taurus, you may be given a chance to improve your finances, find a solution to an ongoing problem, or improve your mental health.

The moody vibes begin to dissipate when the sun enters bubbly Gemini, your zone of opportunity and optimism. Too, the full moon in inspirational Sagittarius could bring some good or encouraging news. Venus in Gemini will also be working to get you excited about art and culture again, especially if it transports you to different parts of the globe. With Jupiter, the planet of travel and expansion, visiting Gemini until early June 2025, your world is about to get a whole lot bigger and your outlook increasingly brighter.

Scorpio

Taurus season continues to center your relationships and if there are any in your life that you’re not happy with, the cosmos gives you the go-ahead to start making some changes. The new moon in loyal and devoted Taurus can benefit you in terms of building new partnerships, which may include a professional or romantic connection. At the same time, it can also assist you in improving your existing bonds. As communicative Mercury journeys through Taurus, it will support you in talks and negotiations, meeting new people, and working through relationship issues.

When Gemini season arrives it will bring attention to your zone of intimacy and security. If there are any relationship problems for you to address, you’ll find that you’ll be able to get to the root cause. If the problem concerns money, imbalanced power dynamics, or trust issues, the full moon in truth-telling Sagittarius may highlight a need to work on your boundaries or sense of self-worth. On the plus side, Venus in Gemini can bring some ease to your life either financially or through outside support. When Jupiter in Gemini stops by for a lengthy visit, the renewal that you’ve been waiting for begins.

Sagittarius

Work and wellness may be big on your mind as May unfolds. Perhaps you’re on the search for a new job or you want to make improvements to your daily routine. With the Taurus new moon activating your zone of health and habits, the cosmos lends you some supportive energy to help you realize these goals. If you haven’t been feeling your best, this month is ideal for beginning a new wellness program and taking steps to get the care you need. Harness the pragmatism of Mercury in Taurus to help you get organized and on top of your responsibilities.

However, with so many planets packed into industrious Taurus this month, it can be easy to get overwhelmed with stuff to do. Though when Gemini season begins and illuminates your partnership zone, the power of teamwork and asking for help will save you. While in Gemini, Venus and generous Jupiter help you to connect with the right people in the spirit of love, allyship, and reciprocity. Meanwhile, the Sagittarius full moon could mark a personal milestone or turning point.

Capricorn

As the month gets moving, work may be the last thing you’re interested in. That’s because you’ll have a bevy of planets in lusty Taurus, including a new moon, beckoning you to indulge in more playtime, romance, and fun. Think of the first half of May as authorization from the cosmos to partake in as much joy and pleasure as possible. While curious Mercury also visits Taurus, plan to explore your creative ideas and interests, like a writing project or a hands-on crafting workshop. If you’re an artist or a creative professional, there will be a lot of juicy energy to work with.

Come Gemini season, it will be back to the grind as work and your day-to-day routine are highlighted. The full moon in Sagittarius may reveal a need for more rest or greater care for your emotional well-being. A job or project could also end around this time, freeing you up for something better or more fulfilling. Should this happen, don’t fret because magnetic Venus and lucky Jupiter will help you find a soft place to land when they move to Gemini later this month. Too, if you have wellness goals, Jupiter will also support you.

Aquarius

Multiple planets in grounded Taurus activate your home and family zone. You could be busy catching up on chores around the house, tending to loved ones, or tinkering around on your next big idea or project. Since the new moon in Taurus also activates this area of your life, there might be a new beginning of some sort happening in your home life. Maybe you’re planning to move or make some upgrades to your space, or maybe you’re ready to move forward with an important decision concerning your parents or family. It’s not uncommon to begin deep emotional work around a moon like this with the goal of self-love and nourishment, especially as Mercury in Taurus encourages you to get introspective.

However, come mid-month, you might feel like a butterfly emerging from your cocoon as the sun in Gemini illuminates your sector of fun and creativity, encouraging you to get out and play. The full moon in feel-good Sagittarius can be a wonderful time to gather and party with friends. Once seductive Venus gets to Gemini, expect your love life to take off. Fun-loving won’t be too far behind though, so get ready for your own year of yes.

Pisces

Your days might be filled with meetings, more commuting than usual, and catching up on email or other assignments as Taurus season sets your communication zone abuzz. All the while, this is also the kind of season when your mind is hungry for something new, making this month great for anything that piques your curiosity. Near the Taurus new moon, you might be inspired to do something like pick up a new skill, write the first draft of your book, or launch your newsletter or website. With chatty Mercury in the mix, it’s an ideal time for learning, self-promotion, and fleshing out ideas. The full moon in Sagittarius could mark a professional highlight.

Later, Gemini season spotlights home and family for you. You could be busy spending more time with your kin, particularly when Venus in Gemini arrives on the scene. Decorating your space, cooking, gardening, or enjoying some downtime at home is also a good way to harness Venus’s power. When abundant Jupiter heads to Gemini near the end of May for a 12-month long visit, your life may expand through moving or real estate, finding a deeper connection to yourself or your roots, or a new addition to your family. 

As a rule, it’s always good to revisit projects and revise plans during a retrograde instead of jumping into something new. At the same time, eclipses work to bring us life-changing opportunities and experiences, but they also push us to clear out anything in our lives that’s become stagnant or unsustainable. This month encourages us to pause and reflect on what needs to be improved or released as new paths open up to us. Value-driven Venus also spends time in Aries, which means practicing self-love and cultivating self-awareness will be key to moving forward.

The transition from Aries season to Taurus season is always an exercise in having the courage to blaze new trails and go after what we want and how to sustain and enjoy what we have once we’ve found it. However, this Taurus season brings us a rare alignment between Jupiter, the planet of growth and change-making Uranus. Rather than clinging to what feels familiar, comfortable, or convenient, this planetary pairing encourages us to take a risk and move beyond our comfort zone.

Working with the full moon in penetrating Scorpio will allow us to confront our fears and strip away anything that feels inauthentic, making room for something new. Though as we think about what we want to invite into our life, Venus in Taurus will call on us to make sound investments with our time, resources, and heart. Once Mercury turns forward and motivating Mars moves back home to Aries at the end of the month, it will be time to put our plans into action.

Key Dates

Aries

April may be a bit slow-moving, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be productive. With analytical Mercury retrograde in Aries, you’re being asked to consider your words and your choices carefully. Take stock of where you’re at so you can assess what’s best for you as well as the best way forward. The first half of the month brings you a transformative solar eclipse, reigniting your commitment to self-development and improvement. You may be ready to make a lifestyle change or initiate your own personal glow up, especially once dazzling Venus and empowering Mars visit Aries.

By mid-month Taurus season begins, spotlighting your money and values. If you’ve been aiming for entrepreneurship or a new job or greater financial independence, or you need help remembering your worth, a powerful alignment between abundant Jupiter and progressive Uranus in your money zone could be a major boost for you. Meanwhile, the full moon in Scorpio is great for spring cleaning, like clearing out your closets and donating items you no longer use or need. Make space in your life for new and better things to enter it. With the help of Venus in Taurus, you can replenish your resources.

Taurus

You might have some restless nights and vivid dreams this month. However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing as the combination of Mercury retrograde and a cathartic solar eclipse could lead you to an emotional or creative breakthrough. Just take care not to ruminate on bad experiences. Consider this eclipse as an opportunity to renew your mind and spirit. As balance-seeking Venus also travels through Aries, you might find that you need more alone time than usual. Solitude can be restorative.

Once Taurus season begins, so does your new year. And with fortuitous Jupiter and liberating Uranus joining forces in your sign, it’s time to liberate yourself from shame, fear, or self-doubt. If you’re willing to take a big risk and bet on yourself, you could reap some serious rewards. Meanwhile, Venus’ visit to Taurus can help you refresh your style or beauty regimen as you opt for a look that better reflects your true self. Sharing warmth and positivity with others is also a theme for April as the Scorpio full moon aims to bring out your humanitarian side. Mars in Aries can help you find a cause you’re passionate about.

Gemini

Mercury retrograde takes place in your zone of hopes and wishes, giving you the chance to reassess your goals. As a game-changing solar eclipse in aspirational Aries supercharges your drive and ambition, you may get to realize one of your dreams, but for this to happen, know that this eclipse will strip anything away that’s not in alignment with your path. With sociable Venus visiting Aries, keep a heads up for opportunities to connect or reconnect with people who can help you along on your journey.

When Taurus season arrives, you’ll be ready to step away from the crowd and focus on more behind-the-scenes matters. If you’ve been feeling lost or uninspired, you may have an epiphany, showing you the direction to take as wise Jupiter and liberating Uranus align in your sector of spirituality and intuition. Additionally, the full moon in transformative Scorpio will aid you in improving your daily habits or routine so that your body has the support it needs to support your busy lifestyle. While loving Venus visits Taurus and motivating Mars visits Aries, work on finding a healthy balance between your social life and your need for peace and relaxation.

Cancer

You may be thinking hard about your accomplishments and what you want to achieve. While April isn’t the best time for making big decisions concerning your professional goals or projects (because of Mercury retrograde), it is an optimal time for planning and prepping for what you’d like to do next. With a powerful solar eclipse bringing opportunities for advancement and development in your field or industry, you’re poised for success. With charming Venus also visiting Aries, consider reaching out to old colleagues or business contacts for networking or advice.

As Taurus season activates your zone of friendship and goals, your connections to others will help you progress forward. The meetup between growth-oriented Jupiter and unconventional Uranus could bring you unexpected opportunities through your social circle and introduce you to some brilliant, creative, or influential people. The full moon in magnetic Scorpio could be a great time for attending a networking or social event, sharing your talents on a public stage, or completing a creative project. Venus’s entry into Taurus will also be good for networking, socializing, and catching up with friends while Mars in Aries will ramp up your need to succeed.

Leo

April may feel a bit sluggish, but progress can still be made. Taking time out to reconnect with age-old spiritual wisdom that has guided or comforted you could be beneficial during Mercury retrograde. Also with yummy Venus in adventurous Aries, consider revisiting a place that you love. Dipping into the past might prove to be useful as the Aries solar eclipse revs up your excitement for learning, teaching, or travel. There could be a long-held dream or passion of yours that becomes the catalyst for your next big adventure or project.

This theme of making something old feel new again continues into Taurus season as an alignment between expansive Jupiter and innovative Uranus aims to revolutionize your career. If there’s something that you’ve always wanted to do professionally, but you’ve been too afraid to try or short on resources, that may soon change under this cosmic lineup. A big opportunity could materialize unexpectedly, especially once Venus gets to Taurus and begins ramping up your popularity. Work with the full moon in Scorpio to identify anything (or anyone) that’s been siphoning your energy so you can reclaim and harness it. Once motivating Mars moves home to Aries, it’s ready, set, go!

Virgo

Between having an energizing solar eclipse and your ruling planet retrograde in your zone of rebirth, think of this month as a cosmic detox. It’s a chance to clean up your finances, improve your spiritual hygiene and emotional well-being, and get rid of any physical junk that’s been taking up too much space. You’re undergoing a transformation that may feel akin to getting a clean slate. With Venus in Aries also in tow, there could be a promising financial partnership on the horizon or a chance at greater intimacy with your partner.

Your desire for growth and inspiration should increase when Taurus season begins. With the help of lucky Jupiter and Uranus, the planet concerned with unique and exciting experiences, there could be a once-in-a-lifetime trip or an opportunity that arises related to teaching or speaking engagements, media and publishing, learning, or travel. Be on the lookout for some good or promising news near the full moon in Scorpio. Meanwhile, Venus in Taurus could connect you with people in another part of the country or globe for business or for pleasure while Mars in Aries can help you sever toxic ties.

Libra

Under the solar eclipse in Aries, you can expect big changes in your relationships or at least in your approach to them. As communicative Mercury is also retrograde in Aries, there may be misunderstandings to sort out or agreements to negotiate. Relationship-oriented Venus is also in the mix, and some Libras may be looking to start a new chapter with their partner while other Libras may be learning how to show up for others without over-compromising on their own needs and desires. When assertive Mars moves home to fiery Aries later this month, you may need to push back on those who demand much and give back very little.

As Taurus season highlights your zone of intimacy and shared resources, it can help to bring you closer to someone you love or attract an ideal business partnership or a juicy commission. Generous Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus will align in Taurus as well, which could bring unexpected money or resources your way or aid you in breaking free of an unhealthy relationship or change self-sabotaging behaviors. Expect the Scorpio full moon to show you where you should stop selling yourself short or giving too much of yourself.

Scorpio

As Mercury travels backward through your wellness zone, you may identify ways you can simplify your life while sweet Venus invites you to adopt more ease into your daily routine. Maybe there are projects or responsibilities that you can afford to get some help with or step away from. The solar eclipse encourages you to do as much as you can to support and care for your health. Leaving a toxic or dead-end job could be one way to do that; a new fitness routine could be another. Mars’ visit to Aries will soon lend you the drive to pursue either option.

As Taurus season illuminates your relationship zone, you’re reminded that you can also simplify your life by partnering with others instead of going the DIY route. The trick is making sure that whoever you join forces with is a good match. With lucky Jupiter and intuitive Uranus, teaming up in loyal and supportive Taurus, you might find such a partnership quicker than you think. When Venus reaches Taurus, it will also help you connect with the right people. A romantic relationship can also thrive. Under the full moon in Scorpio, it could be your moment to shine.

Sagittarius

Eclipses can be stressful, but this solar eclipse in Aries, which compliments your fiery spirit, may be more lighthearted since it activates your zone of joy and creativity. Even with Mercury retrograde, you can still have fun, whether it’s returning to something you love, like dancing or singing, or achieving a breakthrough with a creative project. Under the solar eclipse, this is a time to let your talents shine and your heart take the lead. Romance may also be a hot spot for you as seductive Venus and passionate Mars visit Aries.

Of course, finding a happy balance between work and play will be necessary with Taurus season illuminating your sector of health and routine. There may be responsibilities that you can’t escape but avoid taking on more than you can handle. Prioritize your wellness too. The meetup between expansive Jupiter and changeable Uranus can be useful for making healthy improvements to your lifestyle, finding a new job, or developing a more efficient routine. Expect an energy-zapping full moon in Scorpio to highlight where you need to cut back or what you need to cut down on. Venus’ visit to Taurus can help you create a daily practice that you love.

Capricorn

The solar eclipse puts focus on your home life. You may be relocating or caring for an aging parent. Some Capricorns may be settling into new parenthood. As beautiful Venus visits your home zone, it’s also an ideal time to redecorate. With Mercury currently retrograde and Mars soon entering Aries, there may be home repairs or improvements to be made or issues to work out with your family, lease, or roommate. Whatever comes up now is showing you where you can create more peace, security, or a stronger support system in your life.

Though with all that you have going on with your home and family, chances are you will need a break. When Taurus season kicks off, activating your zone of creativity and play, it will be an invitation for you to let loose and have some fun. The alignment between feel-good Jupiter and exciting Uranus (also in Taurus) can be wonderful for creative risk-taking and inspiration or engaging with spontaneity and adventure. Under the Scorpio full moon, you might attend a get-together or a celebration with old friends. If your love life needs attention, Venus in Taurus will assist.

Aquarius

Mercury retrograde scrambles your communication zone, highlighting a need to double-check information or upgrade the tech or systems that you use. Since the solar eclipse in enterprising Aries lands in this zone too, it may be time to level up your skills or change your way of thinking. The combination of the retrograde and eclipse could also help rekindle your interest in an old idea or project which could turn out to be a huge success. As influential Venus also journeys through Aries, people will be very welcoming of your words and thoughts, so long as you take the time to work on your messaging. The full moon in Scorpio might be a moment of achievement for you.

With all the busyness of this month, take advantage of Taurus season to anchor yourself with time at home or with loved ones. Venus’s move to Taurus will aid you in creating a cozy vibe. Growth-oriented Jupiter and revolutionizing Uranus will work together to help you too, giving you the nudge you need to develop better ways of coping with difficult emotions or family drama. When hotheaded Mars reaches Aries at the end of April, having a strategy for dealing with stress will be beneficial.

Pisces

You may be dealing with concerns about your money due to Mercury retrograde. Use it to review your budget, spending, or accounts. If you’ve been craving a new job, better pay, or a stronger relationship with money, the solar eclipse in ambitious Aries will spur you on. Your values and self-esteem also come under the microscope, especially when Venus gets to Aries. If you’ve been doubting your worth or settling for less than you deserve, it’s time for a change and fearless Mars will help you find the courage to do it.

As Taurus season activates your communication zone, you’re encouraged to speak up for what you need or want. Under the alignment between benevolent Jupiter and lightning-quick Uranus, there’s a strong chance you’ll get it. Jupiter and Uranus can also help you think more creatively or find the answers you’ve been missing. If you have an idea that you want to bring to life, these two planets can help you with that as well. Whatever you choose to do may require a leap of faith. Expect the full moon in Scorpio to be the push you need while Venus in Taurus ensures you have a soft place to land.

While Mercury zooms through Aries, inspiring innovative ideas and new interests, we may jump at the chance to start a new project or goal. With an auspicious new moon in visionary Pisces occurring just a day after the planet of communication changes signs, the cosmos provides us with the creative spark we need to take a bold step forward.

One thing to keep in mind is that this mashup of planets between Pisces and Aries isn’t just about envisioning and creating what we want for ourselves, it also encourages us to find ways that we can harness our courage and empathy to guide and inspire others.

Once Aries season arrives, we’ll be just one week shy of a game-changing lunar eclipse in partnership-oriented Libra. We can expect the atmosphere to feel charged as the emergence of spring, the start of the astrological new year, and the return of the eclipse season ushers in new beginnings and some eventful twists and turns. Under the Libra eclipse, there may be dramatic shifts in relationships and alliances, on a personal level and on the global stage.

As the chaotic nature of eclipse season can often leave us feeling anxious and uncertain, Mars’ entry into Pisces encourages us to act on intuition and inspiration. If we’re wondering about our next move or how to execute a plan of action, delving within for the answers can help us get to where we want to be.

Key dates

Aries

As Pisces season continues to spotlight your sector of endings and retreat, you may be reflecting on what you’ve accomplished and what you’d like to achieve. Although your birthday fast approaches, use March as an opportunity to ease yourself into the next chapter rather than rushing headfirst into it. Pisces season comes to an end on the 19th, but Mars, your ruling planet, enters dreamy Pisces just a few days afterward, lowering your energy. To make the most of March, use brainy Mercury’s visit to Aries to crystallize your ideas and map out your plans as your thinking will flow.

When the new moon in Pisces arrives, consider it your chance to rest, meditate, and make space for the new things to come. Meanwhile, Venus in Pisces will encourage you to enjoy some quiet time. With the arrival of your birthday season and a game-changing lunar eclipse in Libra shaking up your relationship zone, it will be time to let go of an old way of life and embrace something new. The only question is who will you be taking along with you for the ride.

Taurus

You might be quite busy this month, whether it’s pursuing your goals and advancing in your career, helping others and being more socially active, or all the above. However, by the time that brainy Mercury moves to Aries and into your zone of retreat and relaxation, your mind may need a rest. You may even need to do a bit of soul-searching too. As the Pisces new moon activates your zone of friendship and future plans, think long and hard about what you want to accomplish. As Venus also visits heartfelt Pisces, you may be moved to strengthen your ties to your community, or you may want to scrap a current goal to pursue something more fulfilling.

As Aries season unfolds, aim to put more thought into how you spend your time and energy. While you may enjoy being productive, you may have fallen into a deadening routine or run the risk of doing so. With a powerful full moon eclipse in Libra illuminating your zone of health and work, this can be your chance to change jobs, take charge of your wellness, or step back from one too many commitments.

Gemini

You may be doing your best to juggle all your responsibilities, including your career. If you’re aiming for a new job or entrepreneurship or seeking to gain more recognition in your field, the new moon in Pisces can help. As Mercury, your ruling planet, travels through Aries, visiting your social sector, you may be able to uncover opportunities or resources by way of your friends or through networking. Also, Venus in Pisces can aid you in building professional relationships and making lasting impressions, while Mars in Pisces can help you beat your competition.

If you’re feeling anxious about your career or the future, know that you can find the support and encouragement you need in your community. Tap into the power of Aries season to meet new people, reconnect with friends, or grow your online presence. Some Geminis might even be moved to help their community at this time by getting involved with activism or advocacy work. With a lunar eclipse in pleasure-seeking Libra impacting your zone of passion and creativity, doing what you love (and letting go of what you don’t) will be paramount.

Cancer

You may find yourself eager to branch out. Under the new moon in inspirational Pisces, you may decide to sign up for classes or workshops to expand your knowledge. With intellectual Mercury visiting Aries, activating your career sector, such classes could also help you advance in your field or industry. Additionally, there’s a possibility that you could secure an opportunity to teach, give a talk or lecture, or speak on a panel. Travel opportunities related to work or education might also arise.

Working with the power of the Pisces moon might help to unlock a renewed sense of hope for you too. Perhaps it’s time to seek spiritual guidance or pursue more meaningful experiences. As pleasure-seeking Venus and enthusiastic Mars visit Pisces, they will also be working on your behalf, helping to reinvigorate your zest for life. This newfound passion might also spill over into your professional life once the sun enters fiery Aries and reignites your ambitions. Though with a lunar eclipse in Libra shaking up your zone of home zone, perhaps relocation or an important family decision will also be a part of the plan.

Leo

March might be a bit wobbly for you emotionally. However, there’s a season for everything and for the first half of the month, it will be your season to go inward and self-reflect, strategize your next moves, and purge stuck emotions. Upon Mercury’s arrival to Aries, take heart in knowing that there will be some sun poking through the clouds. Mercury in Aries can help you to feel more optimistic about the future while reawakening your interest in travel and learning.

Before you take off on your next adventure or with your next idea, there may be some loose ends to tie up under the new moon in Pisces. Maybe it’s time to make a change in your life. This new moon could signal a personal rebirth, leading you to greater security and empowerment, as Venus and Mars also aid you in finding resources, boosting your self-esteem, and breaking toxic ties. When the sun reaches vibrant Aries, the winter blues should begin to dissipate. Expect the lunar eclipse in Libra to shift the way you think, or how you do business and who you do business with.

Virgo

Relationships are amplified this month. The arrival of the Pisces new moon could mark the beginning of a professional partnership or a new chapter within an existing union. As detailed Mercury travels through Aries, your zone of shared resources, it’s a good time to sort out money matters with your business partner or spouse, or work on settling a debt. You may be able to attract some money too. Charming Venus will be visiting Pisces, helping to make sure that any deals or agreements you make are a fair exchange.

Reciprocity will continue to be a theme as the sun makes its trip through assertive Aries. You may need to keep your boundaries strong (or work on strengthening them) and avoid getting into petty tit-for-tat drama with others. Since feisty Mars will be moving to Pisces, there may be conflicts or disagreements that arise that may require you to advocate for yourself or take responsibility for your feelings and actions. A tense lunar eclipse in fair-minded Libra may reveal a need for you to stop settling for less or giving until it hurts.

Libra

As multiple planets visit rejuvenating Pisces, energizing your work and wellness, you may be in hustle mode. If you’ve got too much on your plate, you may be pushed to reorganize your schedule or workload. Looking for a new job? Both Mercury in enterprising Aries and the new moon in Pisces can plug you into the right opportunity. As chatty Mercury moves through your partnership zone, opening the lines of communication, it can aid you in making contacts and connections. Mercury in Aries can also assist you in getting the support you need so you can alleviate some of the responsibility on your shoulders.

Between the new moon and an energy-zapping lunar eclipse in your sign, you may also have concerns about your health and well-being. Use the Pisces new moon along with feel-good Venus and active Mars to adopt healthier habits. If you’re dealing with a health issue that requires some extra care and attention, this month can help you get a handle on it. When Aries season arrives, the timing will be ideal for finding a doctor, holistic health practitioner or fitness trainer.

Scorpio

If you want to start dating again, find your forever person, or get a little more adventurous with your lover, a lovey-dovey new moon in Pisces will stop by to help. Seductive Venus won’t be too far behind, entering Pisces just a day after the new moon and ramping up the romantic vibes. Though with no-nonsense Saturn still in the mix, you may decide to redirect this energy toward yourself. It might be time to start prioritizing your happiness and rediscovering what turns you on. March will bring you some wonderfully juicy and creative energy to enjoy.

As busy Mercury blazes through Aries, heating up your zone of work and wellness, you might grow busier by the day. However, avoid pushing yourself too hard and neglecting your well-being. The lunar eclipse in Libra may leave you depleted as it zaps your zone of retreat and rest. Making time for self-care and pleasure will benefit your health, especially once active Mars moves to Pisces and Aries season begins. Also, allowing yourself to let go of anything that brings you more pain than joy will also be key.

Sagittarius

With your home and family life taking center stage until mid-month, you’re encouraged to put what you can on hold and check in with your family as well as with yourself. As the last few weeks of winter wrap up, staying in, staying cozy, and puttering around the house might be more enjoyable than being out and about or on the go. The new moon in Pisces is an auspicious time to begin looking for a new residence or getting a jump on your spring cleaning. Venus in Pisces will be stopping by for a visit, which can help you cultivate more peace and beauty in your home, like starting a garden.

When mental Mercury gets to enthusiastic Aries and enters your sector of love and creativity, you might be moved to take classes for fun, begin a do-it-yourself project, or learn how to make something by hand. Overall, Aries season can be a wonderful time to invite levity into your life. As an intense lunar eclipse in Libra shakes up your friendship sector, it may be necessary to step away from the crowd and focus more on yourself.

Capricorn

Expect this month to feel like a whirlwind with a flurry of people, projects, and appointments keeping you busy. If you have been thinking about building a new website, starting a newsletter or blog, or developing a workshop, product, or marketing plan, the new moon in creative Pisces can help you to reach your goal. Venus’ stay in Pisces can also support you creatively, besides helping you meet and connect with folks who may have an interest in what you do.

However, as quickly as this month might be moving, there’s no need to rush yourself to the finish line. With brainy Mercury visiting innovative Aries in your home and family zone, you may need to slow down and focus on your private life. When the sun reaches Aries by mid-month, you could be spending more time at home or fixing it up, visiting relatives or caring for a loved one, or ironing out a housing issue. Things get a bit gnarly around the lunar eclipse in Libra, which may create or exacerbate tension within a professional relationship or with a sibling. Avoid petty squabbles.

Aquarius

Money is probably big on your mind. Maybe you’ve been struggling financially or looking for ways to increase your capital. This month presents you with an opportunity to improve your situation. Harness the new moon in Pisces to find a new job, raise your fees, secure a raise, or start or grow your business. Mercury will be in enterprising Aries for most of this month and in your zone of communication, assisting you with marketing and self-promotion, talks and negotiations, sharpening your skills, and idea development. Similarly, Venus in Pisces will aid you in attracting resources while Mars will help you to find the courage to pursue or ask for what you want.

When Aries season arrives, your schedule may get increasingly hectic. Take care not to spread yourself thin and beware of mental exhaustion. The lunar eclipse in balance-seeking Libra could end up taking a few projects off your hands, especially if they’re preventing you from growing or expanding or they no longer align with your values. Aim to be choosier about who and what gets your time and attention. Think in terms of quality over quantity.

Pisces

Although having serious Saturn currently stuck in your sign might have you feeling more cursed than blessed right now, know that there are positive planetary shifts that are happening in March that may change your perspective for the better. Think of the new moon in Pisces as a love letter to you from the universe. If you’ve been craving a fresh start or a push forward, this new moon can help you shake off any stagnation or self-doubt. With attractive Venus and confident Mars on your side, you can manifest your desires with the power of self-affirmation.

Be clear about what you want though, as sending mixed or muddled messages to the universe can lead to frustration. Luckily, you will have Mercury in self-assured Aries in your zone of money and values, helping you to get specific. By the time Aries season arrives, you might be moved to go after a dream opportunity or create a life you’ve always wanted but never thought you deserved or could have. A soul-stirring lunar eclipse in Libra will push you to confront your fears and insecurities so you can reclaim your personal power.

Intellectual Mercury is the first planet to move into Aquarius this month. Mercury in Aquarius inspires us to challenge old ways of thinking as it offers us the chance to take a fresh approach or a more progressive point of view. Meanwhile, a chaotic but energizing new moon aims to help us disrupt the norm, pushing us out of our comfort zone and into something completely new. With feisty Mars also in the mix, we can find the courage to veer off the beaten path, while Venus’ entry into Aquarius encourages us to connect and join forces with like-minded people for both personal and collective goals.

When the sun enters compassionate and inspirational Pisces later in the month, followed by mental Mercury, we’re invited to get out of our heads for a bit and drop down into our hearts and trust its wisdom. With the choices and moves that we make now, we’re called to not only seek our own fulfillment but to also think about ways that we can help others find theirs. We can look to the full moon in practical Virgo to reveal how we can care for ourselves and those around us without running ourselves into the ground.

Key Dates

Aries

You know how to make your own way. Though with multiple planets in friendly Aquarius traveling through your social sector this month, community will be the key to your success. Plan to catch up with some familiar faces. Connect with people who can aid you in furthering your goals as well as with those who share your passions and interests. Perhaps there’s a professional organization or humanitarian group you want to join, or a club dedicated to running, travel, or books that’s just for you. Look to the Aquarius new moon for help with networking and making new friends.

By mid-month, the sun enters dreamy Pisces, illuminating your zone of rest and retreat. Be mindful of social fatigue or overextending yourself to others. With feisty Mars and power-hungry Pluto in Aquarius possibly stirring up drama this month, it may be necessary to disengage from social media or distance yourself from fair-weather friends. When chatty Mercury also visits Pisces, avoiding petty arguments while taking time out to relax and reflect can help you protect your peace. The full moon in conscientious Virgo may give you a nudge to prioritize your well-being.

Taurus

Your zone of fame and honors is lit up this month, thanks to a team of planets in Aquarius. If you’ve been thinking about pursuing a promotion or changing careers – go for it. Want to make a difference in your community or industry or bring more attention to your work? The new moon in Aquarius could pave the way for you to step into a leadership role or make a bigger name for yourself. Be confident about putting yourself in the spotlight. Know that your creativity and originality will help you to stand out the most.

When Pisces season arrives, it highlights your friendships and allies. With self-assured Mars and persuasive Venus joining forceful Pluto this month, you may be tempted to take a my-way-or-the-highway approach to get things done. While it’s important to embrace your individuality, be mindful of alienating people who could be a source of support for you. Still, a persnickety full moon in Virgo at the end of the month could bring up friction with a friend or a group to which you belong. Sometimes it’s better to choose your happiness rather than trying to please others.

Gemini

Growth and opportunity are big themes for you this year and as a team of planets gather in free-spirited Aquarius in your zone of travel and exploration, life soon begins to take off. You may be doing tons of traveling this month or planning for an upcoming trip. Engaging in new but purposeful experiences will appeal most to you now, such as exploring your spirituality, challenging problematic ideologies, or touring unique places that you feel inspired to visit. Expect the Aquarius new moon to be a jumping-off point, helping you to shake off the past and embrace a new path.

Your career and reputation become the focus once Pisces season begins. You may have wisdom and expertise to share that inspires or motivates others in an impactful way, especially as Mercury, your planetary ruler, visits intellectually stimulating Aquarius and uplifting and insightful Pisces. Maybe February will bring you a teaching gig, speaking engagement, publishing contract, or a media opportunity. If you’ve been considering enrolling in classes for career advancement, it’s an ideal time to start. Just be careful of overcommitment. A stressful full moon in industrious Virgo reminds you that you can only juggle so much.

Cancer

This month could be intense but ultimately empowering for you. With several planets traveling through independent Aquarius in your zone of transformation, there could be an opportunity to free yourself of something that’s been keeping you stuck in old patterns or emotions. Maybe you have wounds to heal, fears to face, or a way of life that you need to let go. If you’ve suffered a loss, February could be the start of your comeback story. Money and resources are also highlighted as the cosmos aims to help you magnetize what you desire and reshape your relationship with debt. The new moon in Aquarius will be beneficial for making a radical change in your life for the better.

When Pisces season gets underway, your mission will be to find and engage in experiences that fill you with hope, broaden your mind and help you see past your limitations. When communicative Mercury visits Pisces too, consider ways that you can use your words and wisdom to move and inspire others. Learning, teaching, or media could be avenues for you to advance professionally or make a positive impact. Meanwhile, the Virgo full moon could bring good news or open doors for you that were once closed.

Leo

Relationships are the focus, as planets in Aquarius activate your partnership sector. Collaborative projects or plans made with your partner might take precedence. There could be agreements to iron out or new connections to make. Maybe you’re thinking of bringing someone on board to help you reach a specific goal. The Aquarius new moon encourages you to move away from the DIY approach and enlist the help of others. On a similar note, if you’re considering a joint venture of any kind, ensure that it will truly be a win-win. Having planets form a tag team with domineering Pluto by mid-month could leave the door open for an uneven power dynamic within a connection.

As the sun travels through porous Pisces, watch how the role of guilt, insecurity, and other negative emotions seeps into your bonds with others. Perhaps you need to be more mindful of trying to rescue or control people. Too, there could be some fear to work through around trusting others. More self-compassion might be necessary. Later in the month, a money matter may arise. The full moon in analytical Virgo could aid you in getting expert help or strategizing a viable resolution.

Virgo

February puts a pileup of planets in your sector of work and wellness, making it one of the busiest months of the year. Although it could be easy to pack your schedule full of stuff to do, Aquarius season will require you to veer away from your usual routine of hyperproductivity. As you’re pushed to revolutionize your relationship with work, caretaking, and your health, you may need more practice with delegating responsibilities, embracing your limitations, or creating a wellness regimen that’s truly sustainable for you and your body. The new moon in Aquarius can aid you in embracing this new way of life.

Pisces season will also give you a nudge in the right direction as it charges up your partnership zone later this month. Now’s the time to lean on support from others or at least start working up the courage to ask. Being human means that you don’t have to have all the answers or solutions. Mercury’s entry into Pisces will ensure that the help you need is within reach, while the full moon in your self-image sector paves a path for deeper self-acceptance and authenticity.

Libra

Work and family obligations may have taken up most of your time as of late. However, the universe aims to help you shake things up a bit, bringing quite a cosmic lineup to your zone of passion and fun. Six planets visit thrill-seeking Aquarius, each working to help you recapture your spark. Expect your energy and creative inspiration to increase as you’re encouraged to indulge in anything that brings you joy. Harness the new moon in Aquarius to jump-start an artistic project or a labor of love or to find romance. Engage with your sense of adventure. Rediscover what it’s like to have a lust for life. Venus, your planetary ruler, will also be sending you some positive vibes, bringing pleasurable experiences your way.

Later in the month, Pisces season arrives, highlighting your work and wellness zone. Making time for self-care and prioritizing your well-being will be the main theme for February, whether it’s doing something fun or taking care of the essentials. As detail-oriented Mercury travels through Pisces, it can assist you in getting organized and tackling your to-do list. Under the exhausting full moon in hardworking Virgo, a timeout may be much-needed.

Scorpio

Aquarius season activates your home and family sector. Spending quality time with loved ones or enjoying cozy nights indoors might be what you need most. With a new moon landing in this area of your life, you may be settling into a new home or on the search for one. If you’re looking for a place or dealing with a difficult housing issue, know there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Thinking about making your current space more comfortable or stylish? It’s a great time to start a DIY project. This month calls on you to nurture yourself too. Dealing with family baggage might also be necessary.

Although you might enjoy being with your kin or puttering around the house for much of February, when Pisces season hits you might find yourself craving a little more fun and excitement. Since pleasure-seeking Venus and your ruling planet Mars will still be in Aquarius during this time, you may not want to turn all the way up. However, engaging with your inner child or your creative or romantic self can lift your spirits. The full moon in thoughtful Virgo could be wonderful for a gathering with friends.

Sagittarius

Expect life to quickly pick up as planets in energetic Aquarius breeze through your communication zone. You might be bursting with ideas or looking to turn one into something more concrete. Perhaps you’re interested in taking classes, launching a website, or starting a writing project. Harness the new moon to kick your plans into high gear. When active Mars arrives in Aquarius just a few days after the new moon, it will give you the drive and enthusiasm you need to see your intentions through. Venus in Aquarius will work to enhance your creative thought process and connect you with helpful people.

Of course, with all the opportunities, events, and projects coming up, take care not to stretch yourself thin. Meanwhile, with feisty Mars and forceful Pluto in the mix, you may also want to avoid letting petty slights and grievances, or a need to be right, create unnecessary drama. As Pisces season pushes you to take responsibility for your emotions and time out to chill, a crisis can be averted. Also, if you’ve been putting in the work, the full moon in industrious Virgo could bring you a professional or personal victory.

Capricorn

A good chunk of this month centers on money. As your income zone is visited by multiple planets in Aquarius, this can be an opportunity to increase your funds through a new job or a pay raise, or at the very least, gain easier access to resources that you need, even if it’s an unemployment check or severance pay. If you have been having issues with the job market or growing your savings account (and who isn’t?), the new moon in Aquarius can help your situation improve.

Yet with the cosmos putting so much emphasis on your value system now, know that you’re also beginning a lengthy transformation where your attitude about money is changing, which may affect how you choose to earn or approach it. All this aside, there are still opportunities out there. As Pisces season spotlights your communication zone, it can aid you with networking or pitching or developing ideas. Planets in Pisces will also inspire you to adopt tools or techniques that can benefit your mental health. Near the full moon in Virgo, a quick trip or getaway could be rejuvenating. You could also receive a big yes from the universe.

Aquarius

Your birthday season isn’t done just yet, nor are the blessings from the universe. There will be six – yes, SIX – planets in Aquarius all working on your behalf. With this kind of planetary power behind you, you’ll be virtually unstoppable. Whatever your plans or goals, this is your chance to make the impossible possible. You’ll have the drive, confidence, and brain power to make it happen. The new moon in your sign is extremely auspicious for starting a new chapter or phase in your life. Though as time flies by this month, make sure to check in with yourself frequently, staying in alignment with your heart and your intuitive wisdom versus acting out of panic, desperation, or insecurity.

With Pisces season bringing attention to your money and values, you could manifest a new job or resources that you need or discover just how truly worthy and valuable you are. As tempting as it might be to settle or just take what you can get, demand better, ask for more. The full moon in discerning Virgo pushes you to think more carefully about where you’re investing your energy and resources and with whom.

Pisces

As you gear up for your birthday season, which is essentially your very own personal new year, you may need some time to rest, reflect on where you’ve been, and plan your next move. As planets in Aquarius filter through your zone of endings and retreat, expect to feel both drained and restless. Still, be careful of pushing yourself too hard, setting unrealistic goals, or stewing in regrets. Let whatever wants to leave your life go, and trust that you’re on your way to something better. Work with the new moon to deepen your spiritual practice and call on some blessings from your ancestors or spirit guides. Escape into art, solitude, or nature.

When the exuberant sun finally makes its way to Pisces, expect to feel more energized. Although you’re still feeling the weight of serious Saturn, and motivated Mars will still be in sleep mode, the universe will be providing you a clean slate to work with. When brainy Mercury also reaches Pisces, use it to map out a plan and reignite your inspiration. The time to act on those plans will soon come. In the meantime, the Virgo full moon could bless you with a guardian angel in the flesh.

Still, we might want to focus on handling unfinished business first and wait for the new moon in Capricorn to launch or start anything new. This moon will be very auspicious for pursuing a goal or laying the groundwork for whatever we’re aiming to build or create. Brainy Mercury also joins team Capricorn on the 13th, which will be useful for planning and problem-solving.

By the 20^th, the vibe for the month shifts dramatically as Aquarius season begins. What makes this Aquarius season different from years before is that powerful and transformative Pluto also returns to Aquarius on the same day. Last spring, we got a sneak peek of Pluto’s visit to this community-oriented sign, which has led to increasing pushback against systems and power structures built on inequality and oppression. As the planet of rebirth and transformation revisits Aquarius, along with the sun, we’re reminded that if we want change, we’ll need to work together to achieve it.

Values-driven Venus enters tenacious Capricorn on the 23rd. The feel-good energy we’re seeking will come by teaming up with others for shared goals and working through the hard parts that come with becoming better humans and making a better world.

January closes with a volatile full moon in Leo that could stir up lots of emotional drama. Constructive conflict can be useful, destructive conflict is not.

Key dates

Aries

Much of the planetary weather for January is activating your career and recognition zone. Once dynamic Mars enters ambitious Capricorn, your quest for success kicks into high gear. Think big about what you want to achieve because the new moon in Capricorn will provide you with an auspicious opportunity for professional advancement. When brainy Mercury enters Capricorn, the second half of the month can be great for speaking engagements and attending high-profile events, interviews with VIPs, or launching content related to your brand or business.

Of course, Capricorn season doesn’t just have to be about pursuing career goals. It can also be an ideal time for embracing your role as a leader, inspiring others toward action, hope, and greatness. When Aquarius season arrives, which includes powerful Pluto’s visit to this community-oriented sign, helping others will also help you. Meanwhile, you could also end up meeting some influential people who could aid you in your professional growth, especially once magnetic Venus reaches your career zone. Under the Leo full moon, you could be celebrating a personal best. Don’t forget the people who helped you get there.

Taurus

As multiple planets in enterprising Capricorn visit your zone of expansion, you’ll likely crave fresh and exciting experiences, especially with daring Mars in the mix. Hopping on the next plane to a distant destination might be one way to get your thrills. Launching a product or a podcast, or getting your work published or into an exhibition could be another. Look to the new moon in Capricorn for help with executing plans. Mercury’s entry into Capricorn can be ideal for applying for a fellowship or graduate program or enrolling into a course for study or certification.

When the confident sun and powerful Pluto enter Aquarius, activating your career zone, they can help you in making a breakthrough or a name for yourself. You might decide to go down a whole new professional path, one that more closely aligns with your passions. As pleasure-seeking Venus travels through Capricorn, aim to reconnect with your love of learning and exploration, even if it just means adopting a more forward-looking attitude. Emotions could run high under the full moon in fiery Leo. Be confident in setting boundaries or asking for support.

Gemini

It could be a moody start to the month as planets in weighty Capricorn travel through your zone of intimacy and transformation. Perhaps it’s time to end an emotional or financial entanglement that’s robbed you of your peace of mind or sense of self-worth. The new moon in Capricorn can be very useful for taking back your power. It’s also a helpful moon for pursuing any financial goals you might have. With savvy Mercury and attractive Venus also visiting Capricorn this month, they can assist you in magnetizing money and resources. If you’re in a committed relationship, January will be ideal for financial planning with your partner or spouse.

When Aquarius season arrives with transformative Pluto’s entry into this progressive and innovative sign, you may be ready for a new lease on life. Open yourself up to new possibilities. Your personal beliefs or political views may need to change. You may even book a life-changing trip. Your desire for meaningful experiences will be strong. Wherever you feel called to go, go. The full moon in audacious Leo could provide inspiration.

Cancer

Things could get a bit interesting in the relationship department as feisty Mars visits Capricorn, your partnership sector. People may easily get under your skin, which may prompt you to establish better boundaries or improve the way you handle conflict or problems within an existing connection. If a relationship has gone past the point of no return, Mars may prompt you to cut ties. On a lighter note, the Capricorn new moon bodes well for a joint venture or business partnership.

While communicative Mercury and collaborative Venus visit Capricorn, it can be a great time for signing contracts or making a commitment to the person you love. Single Cancers looking for love could meet a partner with long-term potential. As the confident sun and regenerative Pluto enter your zone of rebirth and transformation, they can aid you in rebuilding your credit or finances or making some deep and profound changes in your life. With the full moon in self-focused Leo illuminating your sector of money and possessions, you may need to draw a line in the sand with someone about what’s yours and what’s theirs.

Leo

Energetic Mars joins team Capricorn, activating your zone of work and wellness. Expect to be one busy bee. Be mindful of burnout, though. The new moon in Capricorn is great for finding a better balance between taking care of your daily responsibilities and taking care of yourself. If you’re looking for a new job, the new moon can help your search. Wait until chatty Mercury reaches Capricorn to begin sending out your résumé. Meanwhile, Venus’ visit to Capricorn can be ideal for creating a wellness routine that you will love.

On the 20th, the sun reaches Aquarius, your relationship sector, followed by influential Pluto on that same day. Together, these two powerhouses could bring a powerful new partnership into your life, either for business or for the purposes of helping you to heal or realize your full potential. If you’ve been dealing with someone who consistently oversteps your boundaries, Aquarius season will give you the nudge you need to put a stop to it. An emotional full moon in your sign may push you to put yourself first.

Virgo

Passion and playtime are big on the agenda for this month, thanks to planets in lusty Capricorn visiting your zone of love and creativity. Sexy Mars aims to rev up your libido while alluring and sensual Venus turns up the romantic vibes. Whether you’re looking for a long-term connection or something casual, the new moon in Capricorn can aid you in finding the right match. Chatty Mercury will also be helping you to swipe or flirt your way into a date. Coupled Virgos can make the most of this energy, too, by pairing fun with pleasure and intimacy.

Though romance isn’t the only way you can enjoy this planetary power. Maybe you want to take time to get back in touch with your own sensuality sans a partner. You can also harness the current cosmic energy to reach new heights with your creativity or to pursue your passion. With Aquarius season putting an emphasis on your health and wellness, you may need to practice being a little more selfish with your time and energy. An exhausting full moon in energetic Leo may call for a much-needed timeout.

Libra

With active Mars moving into Capricorn and into your home sector, you may be extra busy with family obligations or working on a backlog of household chores. Harness the new moon in Capricorn for assistance with finding a new residence, resolving an issue with your landlord, achieving success with real estate, or making home improvements. Mercury in Capricorn will help to open the lines of communication and ensure plans go smoothly. Look to Venus’ stay in Capricorn to spruce up your home or to connect with familiar faces.

You can also work with the power of this month’s new moon to nourish and care for your emotional well-being. Perhaps you need to be in your own bubble for while so you can center yourself again, or maybe you need your family or roommates to pick up a little more of the slack. Shore up as much energy as you can, because when Aquarius season arrives, you’ll need it to enjoy all the playful, creative, and romantic energy it will bring. The full moon in fun-loving Leo can be great for fun with friends, so long as you don’t overspend.

Scorpio

Your communication sector is abuzz as multiple planets in industrious Capricorn stop by for a visit, helping you to get your words and ideas out to the people who need them. You can make a powerful impact with your voice or vision. Confident Mars, brainy Mercury, alluring Venus, and an auspicious new moon in Capricorn are each setting you up for success this month, making the timing just right for pitching a proposal, branding your business, starting a newsletter, or improving your skill set. You might be inspired to meet new people, join a new team, or begin a research project or something more creative.

With all that you’ll have going on in January, make sure you carve out enough time to check in with yourself and your family. As Aquarius season activates your home zone, you’ll find that getting enough rest and getting loved up on by your kin will provide you with the fuel you need to reach your goals; big and small. The full moon in Leo may bring you a well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Don’t let the fear of rejection hold you back.

Sagittarius

Intentionality might be the theme of the month as planets in cautious Capricorn push you to think more carefully about how you spend your time and money. Decisive Mars is the first planet up to bat, pushing you to cut back on unnecessary expenses. With analytical Mercury moving to Capricorn as well, you’re encouraged to go over your bank statements and your budget with a fine-tooth comb. You may be able to determine where you can save more and spend less. Becoming more conscientious about who gets your hard-earned money is also a plus.

If you’re looking for a new job or stream of income, the new moon in Capricorn can help. With values-driven Venus also visiting your money zone, it may be time to push for better pay. Count on the confident sun and influential Pluto in Aquarius to help you sharpen your negotiation and marketing skills. Additionally, you may need to be choosier about the commitments you make so you’re not giving too much and getting back too little. The full moon in excessive Leo could deliver a powerful reminder of the need for rest and moderation.

Capricorn

You can make some incredible leaps and bounds this month with nearly half the cosmos on your team. There will be four planets, plus the vibrant sun and a potent new moon all visiting Capricorn in January, enabling you to start the year out strong. With these planets activating your zone of self-image, now’s the time to boldly put yourself out there professionally, creatively, or with your whole heart. If you’re feeling ready to start fresh and pursue a new path or passion, do it! Expect to feel fully in your element.

Once the sun moves to independent Aquarius, followed by powerful Pluto, your zone of self-worth and money will be activated. Embrace your individuality and your unique gifts because you could end up manifesting some amazing opportunities as a result. At the very least, you walk away from this month feeling more comfortable in your skin and appreciative of who you are — that feeling alone could be worth its weight in gold. Just be mindful of getting trapped in negative thinking when the full moon in dramatic Leo shines a light on your fears and insecurities.

Aquarius

January may feel sluggish. That’s because you’ll have a host of planets traveling through Capricorn, your zone of rest and retreat. While Mars is usually the planet that increases your energy, you may feel tired and starved for sleep while it’s around. Regulating your nervous system and your sleep habits can tone down Mars’ disruptive presence. With Mercury in the mix, your mind could be heavy with thoughts. Employing journal writing, a creative outlet or meditative techniques could bring relief. The Capricorn new moon can be an ideal time to revive your spiritual practice, while sensual Venus in Capricorn invites you to find pleasure in moments of solitude.

When your birthday season arrives, you may be itching to make a drastic change in your life as cathartic Pluto moves back into your sign. Pluto in Aquarius can be useful for tapping into your personal power and unleashing the force within. This is a rather lengthy planetary event, so take your time making any major decisions. In the meantime, take time to celebrate you. Under the full moon in bossy Leo, however, an ego check may be necessary.

Pisces

You may be searching for belonging and looking to build connections with others. While the idea of meeting new people and making new friends can be daunting, courageous Mars in Capricorn encourages you to be bold and make the first move. Introduce yourself to folks, mix and mingle. Join a group or organization that speaks to your interests, passions, or goals. If it’s been a while since you’ve caught up with friends, put some quality time on the calendar. Chatty Mercury, charming Venus, and a supercharged new moon in Capricorn will put the right people in your path at the right time.

Planets in Capricorn may also motivate you to pursue your dreams or to make a difference in your community. Though when the sun moves into freedom-loving Aquarius, your zone of rest and solitude, you may need to find a healthier balance between your social life, helping others, going after your goals and self-care. As empowering Pluto visits Aquarius, you may discover some self-sabotaging behavior that you need to change. Near the full moon in languid Leo, it may be necessary to adopt a more efficient daily routine.

As we continue to wrestle with the growing number of humanitarian, economic, and environmental crises, the anxiety, depression, and burnout many of us are feeling is real. Capricorn season encourages us to conserve our energy and resources, to use its grounded energy to keep our nervous system regulated as we work toward something better. The new moon in buoyant Sagittarius arrives midmonth just in time to encourage us not to give up on the kind of future we want, while the full moon in nurturing Cancer at the end of the month aims to show us what the power of love can do.

With Mercury also going retrograde, first in Capricorn, then in Sagittarius, we can expect holiday shopping and travel to be more stressful than usual. Employing small, yet impactful ways to push back against capitalism and consumer culture can be helpful, such as rethinking gift giving. On the upside, Mercury retrograde can be useful for reconnecting with friends and family as well as ancestral wisdom to get us through these tough times. December does end on a more promising note with Venus entering joyful Sagittarius and lucky Jupiter turning forward in feel-good Taurus, invoking the spirit of generosity, hope and resilience. As we journey through Capricorn season, we’re reminded that patience and persistence do pay off.

Key dates

Aries

You may be focused most on career and financial planning as planets in Capricorn visit your zone of fame and honors, while Venus in Scorpio visits your zone of debts and shared resources. As you think about what you desire for the new year, the Sagittarius new moon invites you to think big. However, with Mercury retrograde for most of December, you’ll need to develop a practical plan of action. As such, it can be a good time to review your career or business goals, revise your job search strategy, or reexamine your beliefs or your attitude about the world and your role in it.

If you have a partner, the two of you may be discussing what you want to accomplish together for 2024. Having Venus traveling through the depths of Scorpio can also be useful for building healthy intimacy in a budding relationship or an existing one. Meanwhile, aim to connect with loved ones under the full moon in tenderhearted Cancer. Venus’ move to adventurous Sagittarius offers some mood-boosting energy. As Jupiter turns forward, money improves.

Taurus

You may be bursting with ideas of places you want to go and new experiences you want to try. With relationship-oriented Venus stationed in Scorpio, your partnership zone, consider ways that you can enlist the help of others to reach your goals. The new moon in Sagittarius can assist you in attracting new opportunities or funding. It can also help you cut toxic ties and cut back on how much you’re spending or consuming, especially when Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius.

Capricorn season can be a catalyst for growth as it encourages you to reach for the stars. Mercury retrograde in this enterprising sign may help you rediscover a passion, dream or project that you may have believed was a lost cause. When the full moon in intuitive Cancer illuminates your communication sector, there may be news to celebrate or a rush of inspiration to run with. This full moon could also facilitate an auspicious meeting or exchange. Venus entering lucky Sagittarius followed by lucky Jupiter turning direct in your self-image sector can also lead to good things.

Gemini

The new moon in bountiful Sagittarius paves the way for new partnerships and collaborations. However, as planets in cautious Capricorn travel through your zone of intimacy and shared resources, be choosy about who you align with. Finances are also spotlighted this month, and under Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, there may be a money matter to sort out. When Mercury dips back into Sagittarius, it can help you to renegotiate agreements or contracts. Additionally, the full moon in security-conscious Cancer could bring a new stream of income or provide you the opportunity to successfully resolve a financial issue.

As feel-good Venus visits Scorpio, you might be moved to zhuzh up your self-care routine or incorporate more pleasure into your day-to-day life. Consider holistic practices like acupuncture or reiki that support your mind, body, and soul for the best results. Come late December, Venus moves to Sagittarius. If a relationship has been rocky, Venus may be able to help you work things out. Meanwhile, the end of Jupiter retrograde in your spiritual sector aims to restore your faith in the greater good.

Cancer

Your love life looks promising as romantic Venus travels through passionate Scorpio. If you’re single and looking, it can be a great time to socialize or slide into someone’s direct messages, particularly as Capricorn season activates your relationship sector. Just keep in mind that communicative Mercury will go retrograde come midmonth, which could cause hiccups with texting, conversation, or making date plans. Too, rekindling a connection with someone from your past is also an option. If you’re already in an established relationship, December is optimal for reconnecting with your bae.

The new moon in inspiring Sagittarius can provide you with the push you need to jump-start your wellness routine or handle a health matter. Searching for a new job? The new moon can help you with that as well. Do be mindful that Mercury will also be retrograde in Sagittarius later this month, so be careful of overcommitting or making important decisions without giving yourself enough time to do your due diligence. Harness the full moon at the end of the month (along with forward-moving Jupiter) for success with your goals.

Leo

As multiple planets in Capricorn spotlight your health and work zone and Venus in Scorpio treks through your home sector, you may be looking to bring more tranquility, beauty, or organization to your space, especially when Mercury goes retrograde midmonth. If you’re considering entertaining friends or family at home, it might be better to keep plans low-key, so you don’t get stuck with all the prep and cleanup that goes with it. Capricorn season will underscore the need to take as best care of yourself as you can.

The Sagittarius new moon inspires fun for you and your loved ones or the chance to do something special that’s just for you. With Mercury going retrograde in Sagittarius and feel-good Venus joining the party later this month, this can be your chance to reconnect with your playful or creative self. Your love life gets poppin’ too. Near the Cancer full moon, you may be too pooped to do much of anything. Rest up, though. You’ll need your energy to take advantage of the opportunities Jupiter in Taurus wants to bring you once it goes direct.

Virgo

The lusty vibes of Capricorn season will help you get your fill of fun and delicious debauchery. Mercury retrograde can often be difficult for you, but as Mercury backtracks through Capricorn, you may be more than happy to step back from some of your usual responsibilities and do whatever feels good in the moment. With yummy Venus in Scorpio visiting your communication zone and a warmhearted Cancer full moon happening in your friendship sector, December is optimal for catching up with familiar faces, attending holiday parties, or entertaining your romantic side.

By midmonth, the spotlight returns to your home life with the new moon in Sagittarius. You can work with this moon to find a new residence or resolve issues with your family or where you currently live. When Mercury dips back into Sagittarius, unexpected problems could arise with regards to these matters, so go slow. Venus arrives in Sagittarius at the end of the month, which can help you to smooth out the hiccups. Plus, the end of Jupiter retrograde could mean a little more luck coming your way.

Libra

With planets in energetic Sagittarius keeping your itinerary full for the first half of the month, Capricorn season will feel like a welcome respite. But Mercury retrograde in Capricorn could bring up family drama or annoying home-related concerns. When Mercury buzzes back into Sagittarius, be prepared for shenanigans with holiday travel, mail and shipping, online banking and commerce, and crossed signals. Minimize frustration by being flexible, asking for help, and knowing when to step away for your own peace of mind.

When the new moon in Sagittarius arrives, it can assist you in identifying the ideas or interests you want to pursue next year. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius can be ideal for closing out old business and fine-tuning work in progress. Once magnetic Venus enters Scorpio, it can aid you in getting what you want and remind you of how worthy and deserving you are. Meanwhile, the full moon in Cancer may bring an opportunity to celebrate an achievement. Venus gets to Sagittarius at the end of the month, amplifying your creative thinking. Jupiter going direct could alleviate money woes.

Scorpio

Attractive Venus moves to your sign, filling your zone of confidence and self-image with love and feel-good vibes. Get glam and spoil yourself. Venus will increase your magnetism too, helping you attract the right people, experiences, and business prospects. The new moon in Sagittarius will also be of assistance, enabling you to improve your finances. But beware of mistakes or delays concerning your cash when Mercury goes retrograde in your money zone in late December.

In the meantime, as Mercury retraces its steps in Capricorn, your communication sector, reconnecting with old clients or business associates can benefit you. Mercury retrograde in Capricorn can also be useful for revisiting projects related to writing, marketing, tech or media. Of course, getting back in touch with friends, cousins, or siblings you haven’t seen in a while is another way to use it. Under the full moon in nourishing Cancer, wanderlust may strike. Try and go somewhere that feeds your soul. When Venus enters Sagittarius, and Jupiter turns forward in your partnership zone at the end of the month, support won’t be too far away.

Sagittarius

There’s an uplifting, restorative quality to the Sagittarius new moon, which can ignite your fire, aid you in healing your body, or master the art of self-forgiveness. For any goal you have in mind, call on the new moon for assistance. But don’t get too far ahead of yourself, as Mercury retrograde might hamper your progress. Instead of just barreling forward into the next project, or being careless with your words and actions, think carefully about your next move.

Capricorn season brings money to the fore, which could be frustrating. But it may help you to rethink your values in terms of where you put your dollars. On the plus side, the Cancer full moon in your sector of shared resources promises to benefit you financially. Perhaps relief arrives by way of a gift or unexpected help. Overall, hold off on implementing any major changes though, at least until Mercury goes forward in January. Venus entering your sign ramps up your allure. As Jupiter retrograde in Taurus ends, it could improve a health or work matter.

Capricorn

You may have plenty of reasons to pat yourself on the back for all that you’ve done or experienced this past year.  With affectionate Venus traveling through ride-or-die Scorpio, your social sector, expect to receive a show of love and recognition from friends and supporters. As talkative Mercury travels through Capricorn, aim to connect with people this month for business and camaraderie. The timing is great for joining a team or cause you care about or spending time with your besties.

Try to be mindful of what you say and post once Mercury goes retrograde to minimize unnecessary drama. When the new moon in Sagittarius arrives, activating your zone of rest and retreat, you’re encouraged to step back from the hustle and noise for a bit and take time to replenish your reserves. You’ll have a lot more energy when your birthday season begins. Easy does it, though. Focus on relaxation and being with people who get you, as December encourages quiet and close-knit connections. The Cancer full moon will be a wonderful time to gather with friends and family.

Aquarius

December may feel stop-and-go, not just because of Mercury retrograde but also because planets in Capricorn will be visiting your zone of rest. You might feel caught between wanting to socialize and wanting to be alone. On the upside, the Sagittarius new moon can be a wonderful time to engage in mutual aid and community care, as well as working to create the future you envision. Yes, doing this will consume a lot of your time and energy, which is why Capricorn season is the perfect time for a break.

Since Mercury is retrograde for most of the month, expect to feel some uncertainty about what’s next. Know the fog will lift come January. Retrogrades often remind us that it’s OK to not have all the answers or live life at full speed. There are times where mystery and stillness are required. Journaling could bring clarity and comfort. Meanwhile, the Cancer full moon reminds you to take care of yourself as much as you take care of others. When Jupiter retrograde comes to a close, acknowledge the emotional growth you’ve done.

Pisces

Your motivation returns as December’s planets charge up your career zone and your sector of hopes and wishes. If you’re looking for some planetary power to catapult you forward, the new moon in aspirational Sagittarius will lend you its magic. Yet as Mercury retrograde brings progress to a halt, you may need to exercise patience with your ability to get your plans off the ground. Take this time to sit with your thoughts and get clear about the direction that you want to go. Enlisting the help of an accountability partner or joining a group with shared goals could be useful.

The good news is that December will be about more than just work. It’s also about giving yourself space to imagine, create, and explore. Passionate Venus in Scorpio cruises through your zone of expansion and travel, inviting you to feed your senses through learning and adventure. With Capricorn season illuminating your friendship sector, and the full moon in nourishing Cancer lighting up your zone of pleasure, the second half of the month should bring you a few holiday treats.

With Saturn retrograde coming to an end as it remains stationed in compassionate and visionary Pisces, we not only get another shot at personal or professional success, but we also get another opportunity to practice what we preach in terms of being kind to others, giving back, and making the world a happier and more inclusive place. Meanwhile, a wobbly new moon in Scorpio will challenge us to break free of old, destructive patterns.

As multiple planets blaze through noble Sagittarius, including talkative Mercury and brave Mars, we’re encouraged to do something meaningful, like standing up for what’s right in the face of cruelty and injustice – without being bombastic or self-righteous. Sagittarius season isn’t just about doing what’s morally or ethically sound. The fun-loving centaur also encourages us to let loose and party and embrace the spirit of adventure. With all that’s going on in the world, we’ll need all the good vibes we can get, especially toward the end of the month when a stressed-out full moon in mouthy Gemini arrives. Expect this moon to make holiday gatherings more taxing than usual. Choosing our own well-being over rote holiday traditions might offer more peace of mind.

Aries

Loving Venus moves home to Libra and enters your partnership zone, giving you an opportunity to bring more balance into this area of your life. Chatty Mercury will be working on your behalf while it travels through truth-telling Sagittarius, enabling you to have open, honest, and even fun conversations — which can aid you in strengthening a relationship or establishing a new one. Look to the new moon in magnetic Scorpio to help pave the way for healthier intimacy or connections. Meanwhile, this moon could also be an impetus for sorting out your finances or making a clean break with something from your past.

On the 22nd, Sagittarius season begins and ignites your zone of growth and expansion. With daring Mars also entering enthusiastic Sagittarius, you’re called to feed your sense of adventure. This warm, lighthearted energy can be a welcome change of pace, but it won’t be without a few hiccups along the way. Enjoy whatever fun you can, as the month ends with a party-pooper of a full moon. Protecting your peace will be essential during this time.

Taurus

Following the intensity of eclipse season, life should become a bit more pleasant as Venus moves home to delightful Libra. As the planet of love travels through your zone of wellness and routine, this can be an opportunity to reconnect with beauty and pleasure on a more regular schedule with nurturing and nourishing options in mind. As brainy Mercury visits optimistic Sagittarius, caring for your mental and emotional well-being will be paramount.

With planets in Scorpio wrapping up their stay in your partnership zone, you may have spent the last month investing a great deal of time and effort into others. Between the Scorpio new moon helping you to build better relationships and Sagittarius season spotlighting your zone of shared resources, you may need to be mindful of overextending yourself, especially once angry Mars joins the party. Do you really want to be a bitter and resentful person because you’re not getting back as much as you give? An emotional full moon in Gemini may push you to have a candid conversation with someone regarding your feelings or needs.

Gemini

Work and responsibilities take a temporary back seat to fun as feel-good Venus visits Libra, your zone of joy and romance. When Mercury moves to expansive Sagittarius, bringing you in contact with all sorts of interesting people, your love life may get interesting too. Though as you find yourself being more intentional about your romantic options, you may choose to spend most of this Venus transit enjoying the beauty of your own company. With the new moon in Scorpio activating your wellness zone, self-care won’t be something you’ll want to compromise on.

If you’re partnered, you may discover fun new things to enjoy with your bae this month, particularly as Sagittarius season illuminates your partnership zone. There might also be opportunities for connection beyond the romantic. However, relationships could get stressful once aggravating Mars arrives. You may need to work on conflict resolution as well as balancing work demands with the needs of your closest relationships. Your emotions may be running high near the full moon, which may not be the best time to broach a touchy subject or relationship issue.

Cancer

You may be experiencing some profound changes in your home and family life thanks to last month’s solar eclipse. Though with loving Venus moving to Libra, you get a chance to create a bit more peace in this area. As such, you might be inspired to beautify your space. Entertaining your closest friends and family at your home or spending quality time with them could be another option. Also, enjoying the homebody life versus being out and about will also be an attractive choice. The new moon in passionate Scorpio encourages you to do more of what makes you happy.

As multiple planets in Sagittarius activate your zone of work and wellness, this could be a great time to deep-clean your home or to start a do-it-yourself project. A word of caution though — having busy Mercury and active Mars in your wellness zone could also increase your workload as well as your stress levels. Be mindful of running yourself ragged. The full moon in bustling Gemini could leave you completely exhausted, highlighting a need to take it slow.

Leo

When lovely Venus moves home to peaceful Libra, you might find yourself aiming to soak up all the art, music, books, and lighthearted conversation you can handle. As multiple planets in enthusiastic Sagittarius visit your zone of fun and romance, love is also in the stars. Also, coupled Leos might have a few date nights to look forward to, while Leo parents will enjoy having more quality time with their kids. The only caveat: Your financial obligations may push you to forgo big spending in favor of more affordable fun.

Before Sagittarius season officially starts, the new moon in protective Scorpio draws attention toward your home and family. This moon could assist you in creating healthier family dynamics, achieving an emotional breakthrough, or creating more stability for yourself and your loved ones. Later in the month, a challenging full moon in Gemini lights up your zone of friendship and community. If you’ve struggled with people-pleasing or have positioned yourself as the crisis manager or event planner of your friend group, this moon will push you to prioritize yourself.

Virgo

As Saturn retrograde ends, you may now have clarity about a key relationship in your life, whether that means strengthening it or dissolving it altogether. As values-driven Venus travels through Libra, you’re reminded that settling or being in relationships that diminish your self-worth are no longer options. Once analytical Mercury enters growth-oriented Sagittarius, your home zone, you’ll be thinking a lot about your comfort and security. Perhaps it’s time to assess your long-term financial goals. The new moon in resourceful Scorpio can help you come up with a profitable idea, secure consulting or freelance work, or better market yourself.

When Sagittarius season arrives, expect to be busy with home and family obligations. Don’t hesitate to ask for support from loved ones or to delegate responsibilities as you could become quickly overwhelmed with too much to do. If you have family members who have been uncooperative with you, the Gemini full moon may have you ready to give them a piece of your mind. Before you launch into a full-on war, take it as your cue to nurture yourself more.

Libra

You may have been running low on energy during your birthday season. But between Venus moving back home to your sign and multiple planets in Sagittarius igniting your social life, your spirits get a much-needed lift. If your usual glow has been missing, Venus can help you reclaim it with a new beauty or self-care regimen or by refreshing your wardrobe. Your confidence should get a boost too, which can aid you in magnetizing new opportunities and connections. Harness the power of the new moon in Scorpio to find a new job or increase your income.

By the time Sagittarius season arrives, your calendar will most likely be filling up with appointments. With agitating Mars also moving to Sagittarius near the end of the month, watch that you don’t spread yourself thin or get pulled into unnecessary drama, especially near a pot-stirring full moon in Gemini. On a more positive note, you may get a burst of creative energy or the urge to travel, which can be ideal if you’ve been lacking inspiration as of late.

Scorpio

This month could be a tad bittersweet. Maybe there’s a relationship that you’re feeling some regret or nostalgia over. If so, Venus in Libra can help you make peace with the past by giving yourself permission to let go or giving yourself grace. On the plus side, this planetary transit can be ideal for tapping into your creative muse, giving back to people in need, or enjoying some precious alone time. The new moon in your sign should feel like a welcome burst of fresh air as it charges up your enthusiasm and sets the stage for a future win.

As planets in prosperous Sagittarius gather in your zone of money and values, you may see your income grow this month. Though with stressful Mars also in the picture, you may need to guard against unnecessary or unforeseen expenses. Around the full moon in changeable Gemini, there could be a big bill come due unexpectedly, which could put a damper on your fun. You may need to put plans on hold temporarily or look to your community for support or resources.

Sagittarius

Woo-hoo! Your birthday season arrives this month, and you may be more than ready for a moment to celebrate and shake off the blues. With affectionate Venus visiting Libra and sociable Mercury popping into your sign, some of the feel-good energy you’re craving will be found with old friends and new. Community will be beneficial, as will networking.

Before the party officially starts, look to the new moon in transformative Scorpio to assist you in your spiritual journey or give you the go-ahead to move on from something that no longer nourishes you. If you’re overbooked and way too busy, this moon may be a reminder to get more rest as you could feel utterly washed around this time. However, when the vibrant sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd, followed by energetic Mars just a couple days later, your sparkle and drive return, but you’ll still need to be thoughtful about the decisions and the moves you make to avoid burnout. The full moon in Gemini may be an exercise on honoring your boundaries or handling conflict responsibly.

Capricorn

Before Sagittarius season puts you into hibernation mode, Scorpio season still wants to help you connect with friends, get involved with your community, and reach toward your goals. As charming Venus makes a visit to your zone of fame and honors, you could connect with influential people who want to support your career and ambitions. Also, you could receive some applause or praise for work you’ve done. The new moon in magnetic Scorpio activates your social sector, which could bring you a host of new fans or business contacts.

While there’s progress to be made this month, it might feel a bit stop-and-start. When cerebral Mercury moves to freedom-loving Sagittarius and enters your zone of rest and retreat, you might have an urge to get away from it all. That urge becomes even stronger once Sagittarius season begins and active Mars also hits the snooze button. Meanwhile, the buzzy full moon in Gemini could potentially wreak havoc on your nervous system. Stepping out of the spotlight and taking time to zone out might be just what you need.

Aquarius

Yummy Venus moves home to Libra and aims to enrich you with pleasurable new experiences through learning, travel, serendipitous connections, and a renewed sense of hope. Romance is also highlighted, maybe with a couples retreat or by meeting someone that speaks to your intellectual or adventurous side. As friendly Mercury travels through happy-go-lucky Sagittarius, activating your social life, you’re encouraged to get out there and mingle.

Come midmonth, a powerful Scorpio new moon calls on you to reach for the stars. With the help of this moon, you could make some sizable advancements within your career or field. Between the self-affirming sun and confident Mars also entering Sagittarius later this month, you’re encouraged to embrace what makes you stand out. Since Sagittarius season will also bring out the activist and the loyal friend in you, keep in mind that it’s not your job to take up every mantle you come across. There is necessity in self-preservation. Under the full moon in Gemini, it might be best to opt out of the drama for the day and keep a low profile.

Pisces

Now that Saturn retrograde is coming to an end, you may find yourself with more resolve than before to succeed. As alluring Venus travels through Libra, it will bless you with the power to attract money and resources, while savvy Mercury visits your career zone, helping you to identify new opportunities and connect with the right people. Folks will be looking to you for your guidance and expertise, which could grow your money and reputation. With the Scorpio new moon encouraging growth and expansion, expect doors to open for you.

Your star continues to rise as Sagittarius season begins. However, there could be some pangs of self-doubt or discouragement to watch out for, as you might come up against an obstacle or opposition to your efforts. Try not to beat yourself up or get too in your head if you don’t see the results of your hard work as quickly as you might like. The Gemini full moon will remind you that even if it feels like you’re doing everything all on your own right now, support is still within reach.

If life has been all business lately, Libra season invites us to engage in more enjoyable experiences. Though with pleasure-seeking Venus (Libra’s planetary ruler) moving into disciplined Virgo a few days later, the fun might be short-lived. Though we can still use the benefits of Venus in Virgo, particularly when it comes to caring for the well-being of ourselves and others. Often, the chaotic energy of eclipse season can be physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing. Venus will teach us the value of having relationships and routines that help to keep us grounded enough to handle our daily responsibilities, besides any challenges or unexpected issues that might arise.

Meanwhile, having ambitious Mars at home in powerful Scorpio increases the emotional intensity in the air, especially since it moves there two days before the solar eclipse in Libra. However, the magic of Mars in Scorpio is that it gives us the strength to confront our fears and the determination to overcome any obstacle that stands in our way. We may need to draw on some of that strength when the solar eclipse arrives, because it aims to help us let go of unrealistic relationship ideals and expectations, uneven relationship dynamics, and codependent or people-pleasing behavior.

With brainy Mercury and the vibrant sun entering Scorpio later in the month, we’ll be energized the most by deep and revealing conversations, emotional honesty and intuitive thinking, and passionate, transformative experiences. Scorpio dislikes anything that feels half-hearted or superficial, so any plans or decisions that we’re considering now may have an all-or-nothing quality to them. As the lunar eclipse in Taurus closes out the month, our values are once again held under a microscope. This eclipse is the last of the Taurus-Scorpio eclipses that have been rocking the economy, climate and our personal value system since November 2021. It will motivate us to move on completely from anything that doesn’t nourish, support or sustain us.

Aries

Relationships are the focus as multiple planets in Libra, including a solar eclipse, travel through your partnership sector. You may be busy with myriad meetings and discussions concerning anything from clients and contracts to ironing out problems and life plans with your partner to ongoing issues with others. Under the solar eclipse in Libra, relationship difficulties will be hard to ignore. It may be time to part ways with someone or do the work necessary to break old relationship patterns.

Angry Mars enters Scorpio, your zone of intimacy and security, just two days before the eclipse, which could churn up buried emotions and other underlying issues that may be affecting your relationships. With intellectual Mercury and the illuminating sun also moving to Scorpio later in the month, expect to address and unpack these issues as you’re encouraged to care for your mental health. However, don’t set any plans in stone just yet because the lunar eclipse in prosperous Taurus brings more changes into the mix as it works to help you cement your path toward more meaningful work, stronger finances or better self-esteem.

Taurus

When you’re as busy as you are, there’s a danger of becoming burned out. As such, the solar eclipse in Libra may highlight a need to leave a toxic work environment, drastically cut down on work, or set better boundaries around how much you do for others. It could also underscore a need to create a more loving relationship with your body. As feel-good Venus travels through your zone of fun and pleasure, you’re encouraged to make self-affirming choices that will bring more passion and happiness into your life.

When assertive Mars moves to fearless Scorpio by mid-month, followed by talkative Mercury and the confident sun a week later, expect to get more comfortable with saying no, especially if people-pleasing has been an issue for you. The lunar eclipse in your sign, the last of the Taurus-Scorpio eclipses that you’ve been working with since November 2021, may mark a pivotal turning point in your self-development. Choosing yourself and prioritizing your well-being is far more important than holding onto a bad relationship or trying (to no avail) to keep others happy.

Gemini

Authenticity may be the word that you’re working with for October. As indulgent Venus visits a more private part of your life and the solar eclipse in Libra activates your zone of creativity and self-expression, you may need to redefine what joy and pleasure means for you. You may find yourself craving more connections, including romantic exchanges, that go beyond the casual or surface, but this may require you to share and express yourself in ways that go beyond the superficial.

As planets in determined Scorpio visit your zone of work and wellness, you’ll most likely be busy doing what you can to stay on top of your responsibilities and self-care. As far as fun goes, you may be more interested in cultivating experiences that contribute to your well-being rather than doing anything that might negatively affect it. The lunar eclipse in comforting Taurus illuminates your zone of rest and spiritual fulfillment, which might help you to make a clean break from grind culture, or finally be able to move on from an old way of life or something from the past.

Cancer

It could feel like your home and family life is in flux this month. Under the game-changing solar eclipse in Libra, you may be concerned about moving, renovating or making your home life more comfortable. Some readjustment may be needed in regard to your familial relationships. As someone who often takes care of the people in your life, you may be questioning who you can count on to take care of you. Relationship-oriented Venus will be traveling through your communication zone, helping you to ask for what you need from others or identify your chosen family or who you can go to for support.

Assertive Mars, communicative Mercury, and the exuberant sun will each visit Scorpio this month and encourage you to put yourself out there in bold ways. Perhaps there’s something creative you want to share with others, or maybe you’re ready to open your heart to someone new. With the lunar eclipse in loving Taurus illuminating your zone of friendship and goals, you’ll find that when you refuse to shrink or hide yourself there will be people who will make space for you.

Leo

You may be feeling like you’re in a bit of a rut where it pertains to areas such as media and writing, consulting, education, and new ideas. Under the solar eclipse in Libra, it might be time to move on from projects or places where you feel stuck or uninspired to clear a path for new experiences and ventures. Under this eclipse, you might sign up for training or travel for learning purposes. You could decide to become a better writer or a more effective communicator, or maybe you have an entrepreneurial idea you want to pursue.

As values-driven Venus travels through your money zone, make sure that anything you say yes to feels like a good investment of your time and energy. The Taurus lunar eclipse, happening at the end of the month, illuminates your career sector. Many of the changes these eclipses are bringing you may be tied largely to your professional aspirations and quality of life. With planets in Scorpio activating your home sector, you may need to find balance between handling your responsibilities and keeping yourself emotionally and physically nourished.

Virgo

For the duration of Libra season, you may be thinking deeply about what you want, what you have to offer, and what you’re no longer willing to settle for or tolerate. With the help of the solar eclipse in Libra, you may not only recognize that you’re deserving of more, but you may also begin demanding it too. At the same time, this eclipse encourages you to have more compassion for yourself. You may not always give yourself enough credit where it’s due or hold enough appreciation for your life’s experiences – the highs, lows, and everything in between. 

But this month, you’re reminded that life is both a messy and beautiful journey and you are just one of many of the souls on this earth traveling their own path. As the lunar eclipse in indulgent Taurus will prove, there’s no perfect way to live this experience. Things change and so will you. What matters is that you’re able to find the value in every stage and phase of your life. Expect Scorpio season to help spark fresh ideas, enlightening conversations, and a more empowering attitude.

Libra

October is coming in hot with your birthday season underway and a powerful solar eclipse in your sign ready to set you on a new trajectory. As such, you could be at a crossroads of sorts where it pertains to your life path. Since your self-image and well-being are also tied to the story of this eclipse, you may feel like you’re ready for a total makeover. However, rather than focusing solely on appearances, you might be more interested in taking care of what’s happening behind the scenes, such as your spiritual wellness.

As Venus, your planetary ruler, travels through your zone of rest and spirituality for the duration of eclipse season, you may find yourself yearning for more meaningful and soul-nourishing experiences. With Mars’ visit to Scorpio and subsequently the arrival of Scorpio season, your personal value system and sense of self-worth will come up for examination, while the lunar eclipse in tenacious Taurus highlights your zone of transformation and rebirth. All in all, the cosmic events of October will enable you to wipe the slate clean so you can start anew.

Scorpio

This month, you might fall somewhere between being tired and wired. As multiple planets in Libra traverse your sector of rest and retreat during the first half of October, you’re most likely on a timeout or craving one. Under the solar eclipse, you may need to examine the ways in which you get in your own way, such as refusing help from others or chronically overextending yourself. Loving Venus will be traveling through your zone of friendships, highlighting your need for community and the potential for new allies and connections.

The lunar eclipse in loyal Taurus will be echoing Venus’ message when it illuminates your partnership zone at the end of the month. Maybe there is someone in your life who you want to build a future with or you’re on the verge of securing a major business partnership. Over the last two years, you’ve had eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio shaking up your relationships and your overall identity. As your birthday season arrives, marking the start of your personal new year, you’re primed to take what you’ve learned from these experiences and run with it.

Sagittarius

Can you really call yourself a Sagittarius if you’re not chasing after your dreams? However, by focusing too much on what could be, you may be forever running after the next big or shiny thing. The solar eclipse in judicious Libra provides a necessary redirection. Maybe it’s time to reprioritize where you’re putting your energy. This could include taking an honest evaluation of the groups, social circles, and causes that you’re a part of as well as your current goals.

As multiple planets in reclusive Scorpio journey through your zone of rest and retreat and the lunar eclipse in Taurus triggers your zone of work and wellness, your mind and body may need a break. Think about ways that you can create and enjoy some space for peace and relaxation. If you’re feeling a bit stuck or aimless these days, try not to worry. The lunar eclipse may signal the end of an unfulfilling job or a period of just going through the motions. New opportunities are on the horizon. Though you may need to clear out some of the debris to find them.

Capricorn

As one of the most enterprising members of the zodiac, you strive for the top in just about all you do. However, this time around it’s not just about what you’re striving toward but also taking time to think about the why behind it. Under the solar eclipse in Libra, you may be challenged to reflect on and redefine your personal mission statement. Perhaps it’s time to make a career change, return to school, or explore some new interests or options. Too, it could be time to give yourself some room to enjoy what you’ve built thus far.

You may be thinking a lot about what’s next as planets in passionate Scorpio put the spotlight on your hopes and wishes. Maybe you’re finding that your priorities have changed and there are other goals in life that you want to pursue. Maybe you need to be around more people who encourage and inspire you. With the lunar eclipse in artistic Taurus igniting your zone of creativity, you may be ready to show the world a more inventive, daring, or authentic side of yourself.

Aquarius

You may have a lot of experience and wisdom under your belt, but that doesn’t mean that you ever stop growing. As Libra season activates your zone of expansion, you might be hungry for new adventures and opportunities. The solar eclipse in idealistic Libra will be a powerful catalyst for you, pushing you to spread your wings and fly. Perhaps this means spending time in another part of the globe, finding your calling, or adopting a new outlook on life.

Expect this month to be busy, not only because of the eclipses, but also because planets in dynamic Scorpio will be heating up your career zone too. As these planets ramp up your drive and ambition, you could reach new heights in your profession or industry. When the lunar eclipse in grounded Taurus visits your home and family sector, it will be working to help set you up for financial success as well. Overall, your sense of peace and security should improve, whether that means stabilizing your housing situation, changing your family dynamics, or healing from the past.

Pisces

Although life feels unpredictable under eclipses, they often help to clear out old and stagnant energy. The solar eclipse in Libra could play a pivotal role in helping you to heal from heartbreak or process stuck emotions, giving you the ability to experience true intimacy. Of course, finding the courage to let go of a disempowering relationship is possible too. Meanwhile, this eclipse could also help you achieve more security with your finances, perhaps through a new contract or source of funding. Cooperative Venus will be helping you to connect with the right people at the right time.

With multiple planets in passionate Scorpio visiting your zone of growth and expansion, you might be more inspired and optimistic than you’ve been in a long time. You can best harness this power by aligning yourself with anything that speaks to your spirit or gets you out of your comfort zone. Look to the lunar eclipse in creative Taurus to usher in some exciting experiences and projects for you, which could include the launch or completion of something innovative or artistic that you’ve been working on.
