Aries
March 21 to April 20
Your financial acumen is boosted by the Taurus lunation in your resources sector. Also, with your ruler, the action-oriented Mars, angling perfectly to the planet of charm, Venus in Gemini, there is a heightened chance you can enjoy some speedy rapport or even flirty exchanges. Sharing a lovely meal can be another way to embrace this Moon magic.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
If you enjoyed a sensual connection with someone in your past, thoughts of that person can surface again today. And today’s annual Taurus New Moon can just give you a bit more self-belief to reconnect or, ironically, start afresh. Been developing new ideas in the last four weeks? These can now start to gain momentum, so stay single-minded and push on.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Your star is in the ascendant, and in the coming days, when your unique qualities can shine brightly, you will feel more confident in expressing your creativity and natural talent. If you have a particular gift for the arts, love of fashion or music, you can rediscover your spark. However, today’s lunar phase also boosts your instincts, so do stay attuned.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
The unique clustering of energy in the most visible part of your chart over the last month or so has been rare, giving you a push to be more assured and raise your profile. However, if you are most at ease in a less public role, that doesn’t make it any less valuable. A meet-up with a friend or a group of loved ones can be great now to get their different perspectives.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
This is a weekend when a professional or career breakthrough is possible, but equally, things that foster sociability, connection, and friendship can appeal. If it has been a while since you have been able to really enjoy yourself, now is a perfect opportunity to take the initiative and get in touch. Arrangements can be made quickly but prove to be great fun.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
A potent cluster of energy in the most expansive part of your situation can get you thinking about bringing greater variety to your life, perhaps by learning new skills. Over the weekend, you may research academic or professional courses, or perhaps the chance to snaffle a last-minute travel opportunity, but this may be linked to work. You may, though, feel restless.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Is someone currently showing up on your cosmic radar, Libra? You may find yourself taking the initiative to reach out. A playful text, a provocative comment, or a little bit of teasing may be your way of opening up to them. Then again, watching or reading anything with a mysterious dimension and one that helps deepen your perspectives could prove intriguing too.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Today’s New Moon in your sector of relating comes just as Mercury, the communicator, and the Sun are heading towards the end of their annual passage through this part of your situation. Whilst you can set your intentions of what you’d like to bring into your world regarding someone new, your thoughts may be focused on clarifying an existing tie or situation.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Over recent years, maintaining a consistent rhythm or pattern around work, domestic demands, obligations, or commitments to others may have been elusive. The last few weeks may have seen you making more adjustments and fine-tuning things. So, today’s Taurus Lunation can help you to see recent progress, but also where any further nudges are needed.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
New Moons are where the Sun and Moon collaborate, as they meet in the sky, once every 28 days. The thing about today is that it is in Taurus, where she loves to be, and this is particularly positive for your sign, Capricorn. Use this to envision what you would like to add to your life to make it that much more enriched. Focus hard, and it could soon be with you.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Although you are one of the zodiac’s communication signs, you have another part of your nature which can sometimes appreciate time spent quietly reflecting and stepping back from the hubbub of daily demands. Soon enough, things are going to be going at the speed of light, so if you choose to stay hunkered down at home or pottering on hobbies today, why not?

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
There are many sides to Pisces people, and you can be cooler and much less emotional than your cosmic archetype often claims. And because you are a mutable sign, you have the gift of knowing when to flex and be adaptable. All of this can show up with the earthy, sensuality of today’s Taurus lunation, when your more chatty, sociable vibe can come up, but with a purpose.
