This week we have the Moon waxing through the signs of Aquarius and Pisces, before becoming full in Aries on Friday, and dipping into Taurus by the end of the weekend. It’s usually a good idea to start new things during a waxing Moon, but given that Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus aren’t doing so great, we should probably expect some delays and disruptions.
Things could get extra annoying for projects you start at late in the week, once the Moon has entered Aries, and is under the rulership of Mars in Libra. Mars is never happy when it’s in a Venus-ruled sign.
As for the full Moon itself? It usually marks the completion or fulfillment of something either started or promised during the last new Moon to occur in that sign. Whatever you started around the twenty-first of March? Expect it to be resolved this week.
Below, you’ll find your horoscope listed by sign. As always, you can use your Sun sign for this, but your rising sign usually works out better for these sorts of things. If you don’t know your rising sign, you can use Astro.com to create a chart and figure it out. Hint: it’s the sign where you find your “Ascendant.”
Aries
Relationship issues and money matters are going to be your main concern this week. It’s possible this means wild, fun, and passionate good times, but it’s more likely to mean arguments and a lot of frustration. If tempers flare, do your best to take a breath, look at the big picture, and communicate with the people involved. Use your words. If you’ve been on a “self-improvement” kick for the spring and summer, you should see definite dividends this week.
Taurus
If an illness or injury has been weighing you down recently, you might want to take a day or two off to relax and recover. Limitations and setbacks could come to a head this week. If you have pets, this is a good to keep an eye on them, or take them to the vet if they haven’t seemed quite themselves. Regardless, this week could prove rewarding for creative, intellectual pursuits or just reaching out to family or old friends you haven’t connected with for a while.
Gemini
Mercury, your ruling planet, is in great shape this week. In fact, it’s pretty much the only planet being awesome. That gives you an excellent opportunity to get ahead on any little tasks of an intellectual or communication nature. This will be especially true for anything related to self-improvement, home improvement, or work around the yard. If you’ve been struggling with work or your career, breaking down the difficulties into manageable pieces could help you sort everything out. It could also be a good week to get some genealogy research done, if you’re into that sort of thing. Keep the projects small, and you should fly through them. If you’ve been working toward a particular goal or “pie-in-the-sky” idea, you might find it coming to fruition.
Cancer
A workplace or career matter you’ve been dealing with these past six months could be wrapping up this week, especially if you find yourself with a burst of energy that you can put to good use. This is an excellent time to write and send off any emails you’ve been dreading, or otherwise communicate with people. And if you’ve been experiencing tension or turbulence around the home, communication could come in very handy.
Leo
Most Leos find “Libra season” to be a little rough. If that describes you, well…yeah, the next few weeks aren’t going to be stellar. Get with close friends whenever you can, pay attention to your wallet or pocket book, and get ready to pace yourself. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. If you’ve been working on (or working toward) a large project related to travel or higher learning for the last few months, it should come to a conclusion this week.
Virgo
Your mind should be very clear and focused this week, particularly when it comes to thoughts about self-improvement or your overall direction in life. Use this time to think things through, make plans, and deal with any headaches or hassles by applying stone-cold reason to them. If you’ve been worrying about something, or have felt anxiety around a specific issue, plan on addressing it before the week is out. Remember, sometimes the best way out is through.
Libra
Relationships will be front and center this week. Whether we’re talking romantic connections or business associates, expect interacting with people to take up most of your time. These interactions could be challenging, but if you can find a way to turn tension into enthusiasm you should be able to avoid serious conflicts. A get-together with close friends could help burn off some energy. If you’ve been experiencing difficulties in a long-term relationship, the situation might be resolved this week, one way or another.
Scorpio
An illness or injury might hold you back this week, particularly once the weekend hits, so don’t be afraid to take it easy. A little rest never hurt anyone. This is a good time to think over what you’re really looking to get out of life. It’s also a great time to connect with friends and share ideas.
Sagittarius
This week could be filled with career opportunities and workplace success, so long as you remain focused on the here and now. Exercise some common sense when thinking about the future, and don’t go overboard when hanging out or partying with friends. Many exciting distractions might present themselves, but try to recognize them for what they are. If you’ve been working on a large, creative project recently, this week might be a good time to finish it up.
Capricorn
A lingering matter “close to home” should be resolved this week, particularly if it involves a long-term partner. If this has been something which has impacted your work, expect a little more disruption before things are finally wrapped up. This is a terrific week to learn something new, think deep thoughts, or even take a trip. Broaden your horizons in any way which seems appropriate.
Aquarius
Slow and steady wins the race, or so the saying goes. It might be a cliché, but it’s something to keep in mind this week. Challenges relating to education or travel might rear their head this week, especially if you’ve been dealing with (or dreading) an issue in this area of your life for the last several months. Think outside the box (to use another cliché) and you just might find a creative solution to the problem.
Pisces
A financial matter could be resolved this week. Whether that’s a good thing will depend entirely on how well you’ve managed your budget and debt this year. Look to a partner or others for support if you need to. At the very least, someone close to you might have some good ideas to share.
