AQUARIUS

January 20–February 18

The sun in Aquarius is in sync with Uranus in your cognition-and-communication sector this week, facilitating self-expression and hopefully offsetting the effects of Mercury retrograde a bit. Take advantage of energizing ideas and moments of being able to convey your individuality. A Mercury-Saturn meeting implies that reviewing a plan to reach an objective or getting your friends’ input on something about yourself will prove useful. The full moon in your relationship angle is sparring with several other planets, and it’s likely that your ego, desires and drive will be at odds with others’ needs and emotions. The moon is paired with excessive Jupiter, so the chances of interpersonal drama are high. Keeping a cool head will help. Even if the week is drama free, it’s good to step back and get the big picture, so you can balance your own agenda with that of others. You stand to learn a lot about yourself through your relationships now. Think in terms of mutual growth, and look for higher meaning in your encounters with people.

PISCES

February 19–March 20

This week’s full moon lands in your duties house and disagrees with Venus and Mars in Pisces, possibly making you feel like you have too much on your plate and not enough of it relates to what you want or where you’d like to be headed. You might get overwhelmed with the busyness of day-to-day life and question the meaning of everything you’re doing. The contrast between your inner life of imagination, spirit and emotion and your outer life of work, routine and productivity is readily apparent now. One is timeless, and the other is all about time. It might be appropriate to tune into your instincts about what’s most important to you, then get something off your schedule that’s not serving enough of a purpose. Make tweaks to your daily agenda to better reflect your aspirations, resources and driving motivation. With Venus in your sign gelling with Pluto in your network zone, you could attract a mentor or professional contact now, and you might also shine in a group or deepen a friendship.

ARIES

March 21–April 19

You’ll draw energy from being around other people this week when the vitalizing sun in your group zone clicks with whimsical Uranus in your sign. A playful mood can lead to spontaneous fun, and your exuberance enables you to radiate your personality. The full moon highlights the balance between pursuing your own pleasure and integrating your identity with friends and other groups. You want to enjoy life and be carefree, but you also need to find your place in the scheme of things and keep moving toward your goals. You’re working on something solo or dealing with a very private matter of the heart, and that could interfere with fun now. A simple adjustment like getting a certain amount of work done, then taking time out to play, should help. Seize opportunities for love or creativity whenever possible, and you’ll be in a happier frame of mind to tackle more serious things. Try to be aware of how unconscious desires and actions might be undermining your conscious aspirations.

TAURUS

April 20–May 20

A full moon at the bottom of your chart this week reminds you that comfort, home, security, family and feelings are as important as ambition, goals and career. You’re called to balance your personal life and public life so that neither dominates the other. You could reach a turning point with your living situation, relatives or emotions, and releasing something or someone as a result will be liberating. Your private mood is probably out of sync with socializing, teamwork, friendship, travel or education, but you need to be flexible even if your emotional life seems to demand your entire focus. Maybe part of you really wants to feel settled and secure, while part of you is striving to learn, grow and pursue your objectives. You could be trying to coordinate your efforts with others, but find it to be less peaceful than you’d wish. Striving to shine in a professional or public arena also seems to mean going out on a limb now. Tap into your wellspring of courage to attain success.

GEMINI

May 21–June 20

The full moon lands in the house in your chart associated with Gemini matters this week, so the pace of daily life could get hectic and new information could come to light. Paperwork and short trips may demand your time, and issues in your community or with siblings may arise. If you feel an overwhelming need to express your emotions, your friends will be on your wavelength. There’s nothing better than feeling understood, so try opening up, even though verbal Mercury is traveling retrograde at the moment. It may seem like a million things are flying at you all at once, and it helps to sort through what has significance and what doesn’t. This is a good time to seek a happy medium between being a curious observer who takes things as they come and enjoys various interests and searching for meaning and experience beyond everyday goings-on and forming core beliefs. Rethinking an opinion or prejudice and revisiting a place might help you work through a relationship or commitment issue.

CANCER

June 21–July 22

When a full moon falls in your worth house and aligns with extravagant Jupiter this week, be careful about overspending. You’re especially at risk for an emotionally driven splurge that won’t serve its intended purpose. Focus on finding a healthy balance between meeting your own needs and sharing with others. Any shift that takes place with your finances is likely to be tied to a shift in your career or goals. Your confidence may ebb and flow, and you’ll find yourself extra concerned with what you have and what you need. There could be a power struggle in a relationship, and it’s important to remember that give and take is generally imprecise and in flux. Giving yourself what you feel you need can often free you from frustrated expectations. It is possible, though, that partnership or an outside source of financing will benefit your work situation. Sifting through your values and priorities to figure out what really means the most to you will make this an easier week for you.

LEO

July 23–August 22

This week’s Leo full moon occurs close to over-the-top Jupiter, exaggerating your emotions and making it difficult for you not to be all about you and your needs for the moment. Your feelings could overwhelm you, and it’s appropriate to focus on yourself to some extent. It’s just that the moon’s opposition to the sun in your relationship angle also calls you to consider other people’s separate identities and drives. And you might benefit from pondering who you are in relation to others. What energy are you putting out into the atmosphere and what effect does that have on people? Joint actions and intimacy probably won’t meet your expectations this week. Pay attention to your emotional state, and seek the meaning in it. Whatever you’re going through inside—does it speak to you about truth, growth, faith and courage? Flashes of insight that shift your beliefs are within reach. This is an excellent opportunity to release something that you used to view as essential to your ego’s definition of yourself.

VIRGO

August 23–September 22

You’ll need alone time this week when a full moon lands in your subliminal sector and pairs with expansive Jupiter. Emotions you’re not fully aware of that you tend to repress could rise to the surface and overwhelm you. You’ll probably be in the mood to take a step back and find peace and quiet to tend to your inner life. If you summon the courage to face whatever comes up, you’re apt to experience a spiritual shift and set something free in your psyche. The moon is reminding you that no matter how busy and efficient you are in the outside world, a whole other world exists within you, and it needs your attention now. Checking in with yourself on a soul level regularly will help you to function better in your daily life. If you need time apart from a loved one in order to reflect in solitude, take it. You may find that thinking about the past with a Virgo’s sharp eye will help you to strengthen your emotional foundation.

LIBRA

September 23–October 22

When a full moon lights up your group zone this week, your need to feel connected to people becomes more pressing, and even if there’s drama among your friends, you should seek out human company. This moon reminds you that you play a role in others’ lives and you also look to them for feedback and validation. Don’t try to control your social life at the moment; go with the flow. You may become aware of not fitting in with the same circle anymore, and your role in a group could shift. It’s natural to outgrow people as you take divergent paths in life. Be your authentic self, and take an honest look at whom you relate to as you change—and who supports your growth. Because Venus is in your problem-solving sector gelling with transformational Pluto in your emotions angle, this is a good time to ponder difficulties in relationships, work through your personal feelings and strengthen your inner security. That will ultimately shift the dynamic between you and others.

SCORPIO

October 23–November 21

This week’s full moon occurs at the top of your chart, calling your attention to your career, objectives, ambition and public standing. This lunation could push you into the spotlight or bring a goal to fruition, and your professional path may take a slight turn. Since you’ve been aiming so high, it would be a good idea to evaluate your goals and ask yourself if each of them has meaning for you now. Your daily routine or job situation could shift if you update your goals list. You might have trouble with a boss, parent or other authority figure, especially if you resent anyone having control over you. The sun in your foundation house is reminding you to support your outer aspirations with self-care and a positive living situation. Although your career may not be as tailored to you as you’d like at the moment, you have empowered thinking and a desire for self-expression on your side. Your pursuit of personal fulfillment may need tweaking this week; it’s possible that you’re getting ahead of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22–December 21

Even though this week’s full moon is not in your sign, it has a Sagittarian tone to it by virtue of the fact that it conjoins your ruling planet Jupiter. And for you, it falls in the house in your chart that’s associated with Sagittarian matters. So expect an emotional crescendo that involves beliefs, consciousness, expansion, learning, faith, courage, freedom or adventure. You may feel an urge to break out of your routine and travel or at least have a new experience. Exposure to someone or something outside your bailiwick can shift your perspective. A need to expand your horizons and a quest for more meaning in your life could motivate you and liberate a different side of yourself. You may feel especially irritated by home or family now, thanks to an awkward angle between Jupiter and feisty Mars in your domestic zone. A fortuitous meeting between retrograde Mercury and Saturn in Sag suggests that your growth is tied to rethinking what you thought you knew and being willing to changing your mind.

CAPRICORN

December 22–January 19

A full moon lights up your sharing sector this week and pairs with extreme Jupiter, potentially exaggerating the emotions that are bound to come up. An issue around trust, jealousy, possessiveness, sexuality, control or money could arise, and debt or loans may need your attention. This full moon calls for you to work through something related to give and take, and its harmony with liberating Uranus in your memories-and-feelings angle hints that doing so can free you on a psychological level. Shifting your patterned responses to matters concerning sharing and closeness will foster your personal growth. Acknowledge how emotionally charged the concepts of “mine” and “ours” can be, and identify a positive transformation that you can aim for. Because Pluto in Capricorn is in disagreement with the moon, you might fear being disempowered if you change how you merge with others. But amiable Venus is gelling with Pluto, so pleasant thoughts and words and finding the love in your interactions with others will make you feel better.
