Aries
There’s still plenty of focus on your sign; however, the headline for this week is the new moon in Taurus, in your resources and money sector. Consider how you can build on what you’re already doing while taking a fresh approach. The world is changing fast, and with change comes a multitude of new opportunities. Commit to investing in your future and financial security while researching and updating your options. Can you combine the old-fashioned, proven path with the frontiers of new tech? Your options are multiplying, which means your potential is too.
Taurus
It’s your new moon time of the year as “la luna” resets in Taurus on Tuesday. Wind down over the weekend and write up your intentions to plant like seeds. This is a week with an extra emphasis on all things we associate with Taurus, so double down on what brings you joy, delights your senses, and gives you a comforting sense of security. But don’t shy away from changes that excite you; get your glow-up rolling and stand out from the crowd. There’s pleasure, opportunity, and a sense of a new dawn working its way into your life, so direct what you want that to look and feel like. You’ve got this, Taurus!
Gemini
Tuesday’s new moon in your sphere of sleep further amplifies the benefits of getting your zzz’s in Gemini! Your mind is your golden goose, so give it the time it needs to revive. Set your intentions on this new moon for the wind-down and sleep routine that would see you feeling and performing at your very best. Okay, so it takes discipline; you can do it, and it’s worth it. Jazz up your space so it’s conducive to relaxation; try amber lights, stay off late-night screens, and play music that’s so relaxing (or boring) that it’s lights out early. At least for the next few weeks. The point is to recharge, ready for your birthday season. Consider a detox from scrolling if you indulge, and practice a mindful approach to being in the now.
Cancer
The moon is your ruling planet and moves the fastest of all the planets. This corresponds to a changeable nature, at least emotionally, which Cancers are well known for. This week, a new moon in your sphere of extended friendship circles, groups, and peers indicates practicality and sensuality. Go out for a quality pizza or a decadent morsel; savor the aromas, notice the ambient sounds, and how your body feels in the space. Dial up your awareness of what your senses are picking up. You’re a finely-tuned device; make the most of your ability to read the emotional temperature of the room. Set your intentions on what you want to experience or manifest around friendships and contacts with like-minded interests.
Leo
It’s time to set your intentions as a new moon begins again in your career and public image sector. Perhaps you’re ready for something new or building on prior success but with a twist. This isn’t simply a moment to keep the wheels turning, so allow yourself to call in exactly what you want and don’t talk yourself back. Dreaming is free, so dream big and don’t settle for less than what you want; go for the main prize. Aim straight for the top; you can always work your way down from there (and then back up once you’re in!). Write a list of up to ten intentions and follow up with a gratitude journal or a public declaration to clarify and lock it in.
Virgo
A new moon in sister earth sign Taurus suggests setting your sights on securing your foundations, enjoying delicious food, and opening up your world in a steady step-by-step way. Set your intentions on your material desires and what you want over the next year in terms of travel, education, or reaching a wider audience. Faith plays a role, but these days it can take any form. Perhaps nature is your cathedral, go for hikes and direct connections with the land and the life it supports. Commit to that big adventure and start this week by breaking out of or at least edging out of constrictive routines. Look up, Virgo, and toward your own horizon. What do you see, and what do you want to see?
Libra
Your sphere of intimacy, secrets, and other people’s resources is activated by Tuesday’s new moon, so set your intentions. Write up to ten goals you’re open to inviting in and take action over the week. Metaphysical mystery and a little spice are also part of this picture, so make friends with your body and its pleasure principle. Perhaps more art in your life is your thing; in that case, investigate local exhibitions, chat with the artists, and understand what’s behind the artwork. You’ll be fascinated and who knows, maybe you’ll even make your own or understand what to look for when investing, if that’s your thing.
Scorpio
Your ruling planet Pluto doesn’t move very far or fast and rarely changes signs. You can be a little the same, liking slower, deeper changes that take time. So when Pluto does switch it up, it’s as significant as when you do! It’s in its annual retrograde phase, so consider this a good time to look back, reflect, and let go. Gain perspective on a current goal or mission, and use this time to regroup and double down on a very long-term commitment. On Tuesday, a new moon presents a new opportunity to reset your relationship department with updated intentions and a constructive process for the next year. What seeds will you be sowing, Scorpio? Is it time to do things differently and blend independence with partnership?
Sagittarius
It’s time for the monthly new moon, and this week it resets in your sphere of wellness and work. Over this period, it’s in your best interests to plan ahead in terms of what you want to achieve through and in these areas. Fitness goals—how and where will you train? What kind of time, energy, and motivation do you have? Start somewhere, and you’ll build inspiration as soon as you begin moving if you’re not already. As for your work, there’s a lot of potential; set your intentions with a list of up to ten items you’re ready to call in and go after. Weave plenty of nature, joy, harmony, and beauty into your everyday life; it’s medicinal!
Capricorn
As a new moon approaches, take time out over the beginning of the week to reflect on your creative and romantic sector. Are there any changes or adjustments you want to make? How about renewing your goals for the next year? Perhaps establish a regular date or celebrate your relationship. Lock it in, whether it’s dinner at the same yet meaningful venue every time, or a candlelit dinner at home. Are you keeping up with a hobby or taking enough leisure time to recharge and find inspiration? Commit to the creative journey; spend quality time with your romantic interest, your children, or your artistic pursuits. Whatever it is, make it about igniting your spark. Cooking or gardening are great ways to engage your senses, slow down, and brighten up your day.
Aquarius
Pluto packs a punch and it’s sitting on the fence between your sign and the previous one. It’s spinning into its final retrograde out of your sign, then back in November where it will stay until 2044. If you’ve felt internal pressure, a calling to completely reinvent, or facing a major challenge (especially around power), you could feel some of that give way as Pluto preps to retreat back into Capricorn for a few months. Tuesday’s new moon in your domestic sphere suggests stability, security, earthy delights, and practical planning or making are in order. Sprouting, fermenting, baking sourdough, or greening your environment by adding to the houseplant collection are great ways to spend the week. Set your intentions on harmony under your roof and a beautiful environment.
Pisces
The new moon resets on Tuesday, so take a look at the relationships and connections you’ve formed locally. Would you prefer to create a more connected environment? It’s possible if you decide to commit to what you want and how you see yourself engaging best in your area. Short trips tend to stimulate the mind and can suffice for bigger holidays, so commit to visiting areas or places you’ve had on your list but just never got around to. How about a trip out to the countryside to pick berries or try a farm stay? Explore closer to home by venturing out of your usual haunts or workplace and look around. Ask people for tips on their favorite spots or venues, or start your own community group or garden. Fermenting workshops, anyone?
