Weekly Astrology July 17 2023 Forecast for All Signs
ARIESIt takes two
Thank the loves that have come before
You’re the creator/magician this week, Aries. So what is it you want to create? Because it takes two now. Destiny is in motion in a way you have not experienced in 19 years! The North Node returns to your sign while the South Node enters your house of opposite numbers and balancing acts – Libra and your 7th.
Time for the creation of new karma in relationships. This could be about your past, present or passionately potential love partner. That boss or collaborator. Even that opponent. Karma comes full circle because this is also the week Venus, ruler of your 7th, retrogrades in Leo and your 5th. It’s all about the past catching up with you in the present. And for now, it’s not about the new – unless you love ‘It’s complicated’, confusing and convoluted carry-ons. This all despite the fact the Sun arrives in its ruling 5th as well this week.
So, what you are likely to see is the closure of one cycle before you can literally get-busy creating the new. During this time, no matter your past partnership patterns, do give thanks to all those you have intertwined paths with. As if you look back on them you will see each one showed you a fresh facet of yourself and contributed to the magical being you are today! Depending on your age, this goes back 19 years. Or even 19 years before that.
Now you’re ready to work some magic starting with existing relationships including the one you have with yourself. And your spouse, partner, Ride or Die, long term working relationship or collaborator in life. It’s about the creation of who you are – and can become, in a close connection. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
You have time, Aries as the Nodes spend 18 months in a sign. This is not a delay so much as a reset.
It’s a week where something can be conceived – perhaps even that thing you consider impossible or unattainable. No more settling because deep down you don’t believe you can have what you really want. This week’s new Moon promises a fresh path towards satisfaction. Check your New Moon in Cancer Forecast for more.
In a nutshell: If you can think of it, you can create it in your life, Aries. This week is all about why you have the dreams that form part of your being. Believe in yourself – and the soul shifting power of love!

TAURUSDance with destiny
What direction does your soul call you?
Ready for a homecoming to the past
There’s no resisting destiny now, Taurus. This week sees the South Node leave Scorpio and your 7th and enter Libra and your 6th. And the North Node exit your 1st for your 12th. The house where karma, destiny and our fate are all forged.
The soul ultimately knows what its here to do. But are you heeding that higher calling or ignoring it entirely? It also knows where it wants to call home, Taurus. Is that where you are currently living or is it somewhere else entirely? You may not want to admit this if it is different to your current address – especially to those you live with. But it is time to own it if you feel the pull towards another place or even simply just another kind of lifestyle which you create right where you are now?
This week also sees your ruler Venus head retrograde in your 4th (23rd), and a new Moon (17th) appear in your 3rd. Time for truth telling and to own what underpins your life this week or where you feel your roots truly run deep. All aspects of path – from where you belong to what you are here to do. If you are lucky and this is what you have right where you are, then this week offers you the opportunity to enhance your security even further. But this has to first be created on a foundation of you being true to your calling. The Sun in your 4th and Uranus in your 1st triggers won’t allow you to keep up any pretences now. Your needs may be changing – and these include the need to be authentic.
The next 18 months sees actions from your past come full circle and catch up with you in the present. It’s a return and a homecoming. Pigeons of destiny come home to roost. All this asks you: Just whose life are you living anyway? Again, if you are happy with where and how you live, commit further and see this as a new beginning. If so – commit to changing it to bring this into an alignment. Especially if you feel you are living up to someone else’s idea of what home, family or living arrangements should be. There’s a need to have a spiritual thrupple – to marry your heart, soul and destiny to where you want to be or perhaps need to be, to feel whole. This is living with spirit, Taurus.
In a nutshell: The soul knows your purpose. Your heart knows where it or rather you, truly belong. Is that where you currently live? Or somewhere else entirely? Answer the call. There’s no place like home, Taurus.

GEMINIYou have entrée
Accept all invitations
Teamwork makes the dream work!
The Nodes are on the move this week. The North Node leaves your 12th for your 11th. Which puts the South Node in your house of glorious gorgeousification and attraction. You’ll register the energy shift as if coming up for air from a deep dive. Now its all about those friends, groups and networks. And your goals. Because when it comes to these and your future – teamwork makes the dream work!
Be a joiner. Say yes to all invites, Expand and explore far beyond your usual circle. The Nodes rule fate and yours is in the hands of those you know and meet. The Nodes move slowly and backwards. They take 18 months to move through a sign. So, see this cycle as a time to experiment and play with potentials. Entrée to a group or social scene where you and your thoughts are not only welcomed, but encouraged, is but one opportunity waiting for you to join in. Connecting to people with whom you can be yourself totally without worrying about criticism or censure, just adds to the air of experimentation that’s around you right now. Let’s get this party started, Gemini!
There’s more about the impact of the nodal shift in your monthly forecast. And plenty about this week’s new Moon in your 2nd in your New Moon in Cancer Moonscope.
This week’s other major event is the Venus retrograde in your 3rd (23rd) along with two tight catch-ups between ruler Mercury and Jupiter (17th) and Uranus (23rd), in your 12th. Expect re-runs, returns and revivals. And yes, anything you’ve been wanting to say finally getting said. Due to the new Moon energy you know keeping quiet no longer chimes with those values. What you feel in your priceless heart means that the buck stops here. The result is a slow, definitive and steady change starting this week.
In a nutshell: Groups and goals change your fate so this is no time to be a wallflower, Gemini. One topic needs airing as something may simply go against all you stand for and love. Do stay true to your values – and your heart, Gemini.

CANCERJoin the rich list!
Charge up your connection to abundance
Advice is there to be invested
No matter the date your birthday actually falls, the new Moon in your sign is the beginning of your new astrological cycle and yours arrives this week (17th). Time to take the plunge with something new – maybe a new look or change to your appearance? And whatever you initiate – go all in, Cancer. No half measures. This is a week when it is time to commit. There’s more in your New Moon in Cancer Moonscope.
Your ability to go the distance, your willpower, your ownership and ambitions are ruled by the 10th house. This week sees the North Node enter your 10th bringing you a path determining 18 months ahead from the 18th. What you set in motion in the past catches up to you in the present as the Nodes rule fate and karma. There’s no dodging the effects in this house as they will be plain to see. This is where the ownership part comes in. Chart your course – you are the proverbial captain of your ship now. I go into great detail about this in your monthly forecast.
The Sun leaves your sign on the 23rd and this happens to be the same day as Venus will retrograde in here. Do keep in mind Venus is retro in a ruling house in your chart so you will feel the impact more than most. And you need to stick to those Venus retro rules especially around your money. Of course, this is linked to career and status. Do challenge long term beliefs around money –how you earn it, spend it, invest it or simply whether you think it’s hard to come by or the root of all evil.
Money is energy only and the ‘charge’ – i.e. good, evil, easy come, easy go, hoard, save or spend is one we personally put on it. Money itself is neutral. The attitude you have to it could determine your financial direction for some time thanks to Mercury’s triggers to Jupiter and Uranus in your 11th bringing a radical new change to how you view your resources. Someone may cross your path who offers you advice or acts as an example to emulate now. Time to invest in your own future.
In a nutshell: New beginnings ask you to step up and own your path and direction. Your choices brought you to where you are today. Fortune – especially when it comes to money, flows in a fresh direction. Take control, Cancer.

LEOPrepare for soul growth
Retake the lost pathways
Get your glow on, birthday Leo!
A fated, dated, past tense birthday cycle begins as ruler the Sun arrives in your sign (23rd) – the day Venus heads backwards. Freedom, opportunity and wild, wonderful solutions lie ahead for you, Leo thanks to your new cycle coinciding with the Nodal shift which also occurs this week (18th).
Where you are meant to go, the lost path and returns of opportunities you missed feature over the next few months. The Venus retro will be a long one and you won’t be free of it until the end of September. So, look back to move forward and please, no new ventures in love or money for now. Do see your monthly forecast for a deeper explanation.
That path not taken, what re-opens for you, travel, learning, expansion and heady, unlimited freedom is the birthday gift from the North Node crossing into your 9th (18th). But again, this may take time to realise or that direction to become clear for you. You do have time as the Nodes spend 18 months in each sign. No hurry should be your mantra at the start of your fresh cycle, Leo.
The look back to move ahead flava of the week gets extra emphasis from the new Moon in your 12th which rules your past amongst other things. New Moons from now onwards are late appearing due to the Black Moon in Aries back in April. Hence, all signs now have late blooming new cycles. Take time to think about where you want to go from here. Clean up your past. Tie up loose ends. Indulge yourself in deep healing rituals. Meditation, yoga, creative play, therapy, metaphysical studies, self-help.
If you are a truth seeker in purpose and intent, then you are about to receive the answers or clearing away of old wounds that you seek. These may appear in strange and charmed ways during this Venus retro. You may have to say no to something or someone you would have said yes to in the past. Or vice versa. There’s a new world on offer and a new you. Take all the time you need to grow into both, Leo.
In a nutshell: Your new cycle brings with it freedom and the return of lost opportunities. It coincides with the start of Venus retro in your sign. Turning back to love – or what you loved, fuels the journey forwards.

VIRGOWhere do you want your future to take you?
Are you ready to be glorious?!
Surrender to your power!
The engines of change turn in your direction, Virgo. And there’s no resisting the direction they want you to head in. Ruler Mercury along with the Sun and Venus retro (23rd) are all in your 12th house of the past. Transformations can and will occur around what you no longer need, what stands in the way of you and your soul evolution and freedom, and anything and anyone that stunts your growth and glory.
This can be confronting as well as intensely exciting as you find yourself in a period where you can feel challenged but also empowered at the same time! It is time to look at how in control you feel when it comes to your own path and destiny, Virgo. This ahead of the Sun’s arrival in your sign next month. The new Moon in your 11th of the future poses the future perfecting question of: Where do you want to go from here? While ruler Mercury’s angles to Jupiter (17th) and then Uranus (23rd) may ask you to determine your course.
This is further emphasised by Mars’ key opposition to Saturn in your 7th on the 20th. Have you been allowing yourself or a situation to simply drift? This occurs just two days after the North Node arrives in your 8th of joint resources, marriages, divorces and yes, sex. It involves you and another. It’s a reckoning, an opportunity, a crucible where something is re-forged or else let go of. It’s inescapable and asks you deal with it or else remain limited until you do. So, do it because you have the fuel and the determination to chart your own course in love and other matters, from here on in. A rebirth is in progress now. Simply surrender to it.
In a nutshell: You need a plan to take you on into 2024. No more being content to drift or simply see where you end up, Virgo. This week asks you set something in motion. And retake control of the direction you want your life to head in.

LIBRALove the love you have
Slow is the new fast
What’s worth it is worth making the effort
Your monthly forecast takes a deep dive into ruler Venus’s rare retro in your 11th and the arrival of the North Node in your partnership sector. Do check it out or even re-read it. Because you are Venus ruled, the retrograde affects you more than any other sign aside from Taurus. Do treat the Venus retro rules as if they have been handed to you on stone tablets. No new lovers. No overspending or new financial commitments.
Stick with what you have and that includes the love you have of the friendship kind as the Sun joins Venus and also Mercury in here (23rd). You don’t need extras, status symbols or window dressing to fit in. Ditch toxic friendships, fakefluencers and pointless envy and instead opt for authentic connections, people who inspire you who have a real track record of achievement, and gratitude for what you have instead. Initiate this as your new, long term operating procedure and simply watch how the benefits rack up following this week’s new Moon in your 10th (17th).
If you are single and seeking, don’t think you will miss out by taking a time out from your search during this retrocycle. You won’t. The North Node in your 7th puts the South in your 1st. Love and partnership matters come full circle. The Nodes are slow moving taking 18 months to move through a house/sign. That’s how long you have to see what love has in store for you. The more relaxed you get about the process, the faster love seeks you out once the retrograde is over.
Changes can occur around work, wellbeing or your money this week. But you may have to consciously make these happen. Mars in your 12th opposes Saturn in your 6th (20th) while the Sun in your 10th opposes Pluto back in your 4th. With Mercury in your 11th activating Jupiter and Uranus in your 8th, this is about your money, your cohabitation, your income or your joint financial dealings. Where you earn your dough or bake your bread. Or even make your bed. Who makes it happen, Libra? You do. Do have belief in your own ability to make the right choice or to simply bring about the outcome you seek. Nothing worth having is achieved without effort after all.
In a nutshell: Ruler Venus is retrograde in your house of friends and goals. Plus the North Node lands in your 7th. Time for a new mantra when it comes to all connections, Libra. Love the love you have and have more to love. Gratitude powers your future.

SCORPIOTurn up and do the werk!
No escape routes – just real freedom
Act on your heart’s truth
Be totally present as the Sun enters your status conscious 10th on the same day as Venus heads backwards in here (23rd). This applies to your career as well as your relationships. Venus rules partnerships and this week we have not just the Venus retro but Mercury also in your 10th, challenging Jupiter (17th) and then Uranus (23rd) in Venus’s ruling 7th. One particular connection asks you show up for it and make a choice – one way or another.
I’ve written a great deal about how the Venus retro will impact you as well as the arrival of the North Node in your 6th on the 18th in your monthly forecast. The 6th is your house of daily work, wellbeing and responsibilities. Across all areas. It asks you focus and be present. And as the Nodes rule karma, yes, you must now show up and do the work. This week’s new Moon in your 9th (17th) points the way to freedom, expansion and a higher, perhaps better path to take. But do keep in mind there is a big difference between freedom and escaping.
The week also delivers two aspects which demand you pay attention or do what needs to be done. Hence, there is no escape but there is forward motion if you choose to harness it. Your emotional truth about something matters more than you think as the Sun in your 9th opposes ruler Pluto in your 3rd. But where are you holding back on expressing this? Just two days before your other ruler Mars in your 11th opposes Saturn in your 5th (20th). Saturn can have us over-rationalising or simply ignoring what our heart is saying. Again, this is about showing up and this time for yourself. Be fearless and unafraid to do what you know needs to be done or even said in the present moment. But tackling that task – that’s what leads to the freedom you’re craving.
In a nutshell: The present is a gift. So, if we don’t show up for it we miss out. Long term shifts around what you do or are prepared to do, replace the illusion of escape with real freedom, Scorpio. Don’t ignore that emotional truth or rationalise it away.

SAGITTARIUSBig up those past loves
Revivals, revisits and returns feature
Simply show up!
The Sun’s arrival in your 9th usually signals a period of full steam ahead when it comes to travel, learning, big dreams and bucket list plans. This year the vibe is somewhat different as the day this occurs (23rd), Venus also in your 9th makes a rare retrograde. Back to the future loves, dreams and destinations feature as opposed to you heading out into the unknown. But sometimes when we go back, things seem new again because we see them from a totally different perspective.
You will be on a journey to the past in some way. And for some, this could be revisiting somewhere you have been before. Reliving the love and passion or connection. I’ve written at length about the Venus retro and the arrival of the North Node in your 5th (18th) of romance, passion, fabulization and children in your monthly forecast. Do be aware with Venus backwards there is an embargo on new loves. But guess what? You’ve more than enough past loves to reboot and renew now.
The change is perspective comes from within you. Leading to rebirth and renewal with the new Moon in your 8th (17th). This could trigger across the board transformations with your work, income or health as Mercury also in your 9th, links to ruler Jupiter in your 6th (17th) and then Uranus (23rd). Family or money matters call for you to make a decision as the Sun opposes returned Pluto in your 2nd (22nd) while Mars in your 10th opposes Saturn in your 4th (20th). Because you see things differently, you don’t mind being called on to take the reins or make a call you might have found challenging in the past. It could be a central issue linked to where you go from here in terms of career, money, family or home. Expect debate but then the release you wanted, Sag. You got this so simply show up.
In a nutshell: Long lost loves or returns have you experiencing an old passion from a new perspective, Sag. This week also asks you show up and deal with something once and for all. Debates and decisions feature. But once done – you’re free.

CAPRICORNNo more unfinished business in love
History re-enters and repeats
All paths lead to home truths
A shy, tentative, fresh phase in an existing union or relationship begins this week with the new Moon in your 7th. It’s time to deepen and strengthen those ties but also to refrain from seeking new ones due to Venus retrograde in your passionate 8th (23rd).
This week also sees Mars in your 9th oppose ruler Saturn in your 3rd (20th). While the 22nd has the Sun at a late degree of your 7th oppose Pluto in your 1st. Now is your moment to do what needs to be done in the name of love. Or tie up those loose ends between you and someone else for good. It’s a week where new beginnings stem from closure and completion.
Sex needs to have depth and meaning. It needs that alchemical, transcendent element. If you have it, show your partner just how grateful you are. If you don’t – that will be obvious now. The question will be: what do you intend to do about it? The Venus retro along with this week’s key transits and Pluto’s remaining time in your sign asks you deal with this – once and for all.
Knock, knock – let karma in as the North Node arrives on the doorstep of your 4th (18th). It’s unpacking for an 18 month visit during which time your home, family, clan, roots, roomies, ties and even the place you reside, will enter a fresh cycle. Even as history around these from 18-19 years ago enters whether you like it or not. Renovations, repairs and even relocations feature as well as that family baggage you’ve inherited or are dragging around, Capricorn.
Of course for many of you this is all tied to your spouse or partner you live with. Your children or even extended family. Your heritage, expectations placed on you by this, could see you having to decide whether to continue to follow it. Or break away and forge your own path. This extends to your career, profession and chosen field. Are you a leader or following in the footsteps of others? Provided it feels right, this is your path. If not – time to breakaway and walk your own.
In a nutshell: Deepen those ties or else consider forging new ones for your future. Time for a homecoming now, Capricorn. To what you truly want and what, who and where holds meaning for you. Make that soul sustaining choice.

AQUARIUSDiscover what’s waiting to be explored
Revive the love – or the vision
Have that talk
If the North Node is in your 3rd (from the 18th), the South is in your 9th of expansion, expeditions and exploration. In the mood for adventure? Don’t stick with the familiar. Go discover what else is out there for you.
Your monthly forecast for July contains a comprehensive map and plan not just for the nodal shift, but for the Venus retrograde in your 7th which begins this week – the same day as the Sun arrives in here (23rd). And which usually ignites your yearly love and partnership peak. Yes and no now, Aquarius. Venus is backwards in its ruling house in your chart. So this means its retrograde influence increases. You should embrace the Venus retro rules – no new loves or fresh financial entanglements, with an almost fundamentalist fervour. Love revivals and reboots however – so on retro trend for the next two months.
This week has Mercury also in your 7th ask you not put off having that conversation any longer with a key someone as it triggers Jupiter (17th) and then ruler Uranus (23rd) in your 4th. Especially if this is a topic related to your cohabitation, home, family or just your security in general. The week also hands us a new Moon in your 6th (17th). Wellbeing, work and lifestyle matters require your attention. And even your pets if you consider them family members as most of us who have them do. More in your New Moon in Cancer Moonscope.
A situation asks you be totally available, unafraid and present. If not powerful and certain for where you go from here across the 20th – 22nd. Don’t be afraid to table that discussion but also to be open and listen to what the other party wants as well. Between the two of you, something valuable and even lasting, can emerge. Be prepared to strike that deal. You both benefit from the change.
In a nutshell: Head back to love as Venus retros in its ruling 7th. Choices and decisions around work, family and lifestyle compel you to take a fearless approach. There’s satisfaction on offer this week. For you – and the other party.

PISCESGo with what the heart wants
Cement your values
Time’s up on a love that can’t live up to its promise
This week sees a new Moon in your 5th of lovers and all your passions (17th). And just days later a key opposition between Mars in your 7th and Saturn in your 1st. Combined with the Sun’s trine to ruler Neptune (also 20th), something is either hot or totally not. Uncertain? Venus’ reversal of direction in your 6th (23rd), says slow down for certainty. Even if something appears to be going well, be certain before going all-in, sweet Pisces. As you know all too well you intuit the other party’s potential. But whether they are able to live up to that is something else entirely.
And disappointment always follows if you discover they can’t. Honestly, it’s not worth the risk now. And you are worth more than taking that risk. Venus retro comes with its own rules no matter where in our charts it heads backwards. I’ve gone into detail on this in your monthly forecast along with what the North Nodes shift into your 2nd (18th) also means for you. Use this time to cement an unshakable set of values and self-worth now. Don’t just fall for anything. No matter how hot they look.
This could call time’s up on anything which no longer aligns to what you now know to be intrinsically right for you. Don’t be afraid to release or let go of it if so. And watch how that heavy feeling instantly vanishes once the decision is made. The new Moon really does show you what resonates with your heart. Passion isn’t something you have to compromise on or opt for ‘good enough’. You’re so much more aware of what you need and also what you deserve. The heart wants what the heart wants. And that’s a good thing, Pisces.
In a nutshell: Want to avoid past disappointments repeating themselves? Then take love slowly and above all, go with what your heart wants. If you believe having that isn’t possible, the remedy lies with your values, Pisces.

Weekly Astrology July 10 2023 Forecast for All Signs
ARIES Take care of business
You know to ask, Aries
Go-for-it, unstoppable you crushes it!
You’re all business this week, Aries. Even if this involves family business. Your motivation isn’t just solely revolving around those ambitions – even though Pluto is now back in your 10th. Security and anything that offers longevity, sustains you on more than just a material level, is what you seek.
Your entire work/money/rewards sector is alight now. Taking care of business means taking care of those you care about (this should include yourself). Decisions can be made now around work and home with the focus on your 4th house of home, family lifestyle and what provides your foundation. Take it that you will make the correct one as Mercury opposes Pluto on the 10th while ruler Mars enters your 6th.
There’s no task you won’t now tackle. But also you’re in the right mindset to push yourself forward for that new role. Or ask for that raise or promotion. There’s a go-getting, unstoppable, confident quality about you this week that sees others take note. And also take on board your ideas and suggestions.
If you want something – ask for it directly. That job, that business, that assistance from others. Mercury’s move into Leo and your 5th backs up Mars’s powerhouse self-assertion in your 6th. But adds a touch of allure and creative zeal. A sudden opportunity or offer could require a fast answer from you on the 14th. But you’re in the mood to take chances and go further this week. Funny that the more you dare to put yourself out there, the more confident and secure in your actions you feel.
In a nutshell: You know the direct approach always serves you best, Aries. And what you are serving this week is go-getting, do-it-now, crush that To Do list confidence. Need something? Just ask directly.

TAURUSLook behind a different door
Build on what already works
Live and love with fearless freedom
Ready to change direction, Taurus? Portals of potential open up around you now. Are you ready to walk through one? Maybe you’ve always chosen Door #1. Is it time to see what’s behind Door #2 or #3 instead?
Travel, writing, communicating, teaching and studying, especially in higher education, business, the internet or simply opportunity which could send you in a fresh direction are hallmarks of Jupiter now in your sign. And backed by freedom inciting angles between Mercury in its ruling 3rd and Pluto in your 9th (10th) and Uranus highlighted by the Sun on the 14th.
Fitting that the latter occurs on Bastille Day as Uranus rules revolutions. What you are looking at is something that could quite literally revolutionise your life if you opt for that different door. Choosing different often means leaving our comfort zone. Lucky for you Mars in your 5th from the 10th hands you a fresh sense of boldness and daring. You’re willing to take a chance. Probably because sticking with the same old, same old, is no longer an option for you.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you’re about to give up what works and supports you. But you’re seeking something (or even someone), that enhances what already works for you but offers a much needed injection of life-affirming love and excitement. Mercury in your 4th is all about building on what you’ve already established. As well as contacts and decisions related to home, moving and even your career path. This all adds up to you heading in a fresh direction this week. Or opening a new and different door which leads to a new revolutionary phase of living and loving freer.
In a nutshell: Opt to discover what’s behind a door you wouldn’t normally open, Taurus. There’s a revolutionary opportunity on offer this week. But you’ll never know what it will bring unless you take that chance!

GEMINIOpt for renewal and freshly baked ideas
Channel that energy into life renovation
Share it!
You gotta share this week, Gemini. Whether this is in person or simply social on line. Ideas spark fresh conversations. And whatever dialogue you start sparkles now ruler Mercury reaches your 3rd (11th). Flirt, comment, post, apply, swipe, call, write, capture. But whatever you don’t – don’t keep it to yourself. It needs to be out there. And by doing this you set something new in motion.
Before Mercury crosses into your 3rd, it opposes Pluto in your 8th from your income and cash zone. The Sun this week heats up Uranus in your 12th telling you this is no time to simply sit on those hidden talents or ideas you’ve been soul workshopping. Use it or lose the opportunity. It’s not a time for hesitation or to keep it inside.
However, do choose your words with care on the domestic front as Mars ventures into your 4th. Mars doesn’t sit well in this house in your chart. It’s receptive, nurturing vibe just isn’t something Mars does. Also, Virgo is all about detail, attention and focus. Again, not really Mars’ forte. With Mars in here things get narky snarky. Either you or someone you live with is on a short fuse. If you have a family member who is hard to please even without Mars in here, then under this transit, nothing may be good enough. You may want to avoid family gatherings or inviting them over during this transit.
What this Mars is exceptionally good for is updating, renovating or moving home. DIY tasks. Clearing out the cobwebs. And by that I don’t just mean the literal ones skulking in dark corners. All that stuff you no longer need or use that’s shrouded in cobwebs of sentimentality. Mars says you not only don’t need it but it probably stops new, fresher and better things appearing. Mars gives you the strength to say ‘I opt for something better’ simply by letting this go. Buying selling, renting, leasing and having the courage to make that move could begin with a conversation. Don’t delay having it this week.
In a nutshell: Focus your intention and don’t scatter it. Ruler Mercury has you sharing or saying what needs to be said. On the home front however, you may keep the peace if you channel that energy into DIY tasks rather than giving someone a piece of your mind!

CANCERTalk transforms
Is it time to showcase those smarts?
Yes the world simply does revolve around you this week, Cancer!
In and out astrology rules apply this week. Pluto is back in your 7th at 29 (anaretic) degree so is at its most potently powerful in terms of partnership matters. Especially as it opposes equally anaretic Mercury in your sign. This brings a pivotal You + Me conversation or moment between you and someone else. Perhaps even a game changing one. This applies to past, present or potential partners. Including working and friendship dynamics.
Who you encounter will be as important as those conversations. But its dialogue, snappy, flirty, businesslike, idea-driven and above all, smart and confident, which determines the outcome and where you go from here. If ever there was a week to start a conversation, this one is it as surging, courageous Mars fuels you with passion and the creativity to come up with a great opening line as it lands in your 3rd.
The Sun shines on your social life and all your connections. As well as your entrepreneurial talents and flair. Hopefully you have no problems standing out from the crowd, Cancer. Because the Sun picks you out as it aligns to Uranus in Uranus’s ruling 11th in your chart on the 14th. Because of this, someone or something is drawn to you. Maybe you are the literal centre of your friendship universe and on this day everyone DOES revolve around you. But this is a day of realisation and attraction. Look to who or what spins out of nothingness and finds you. The future’s in motion in ways you may not yet imagine. Be ready.
In a nutshell: You may be the bright centre of the galaxy around which everything revolves this week, Cancer. Do make the most of it as this is no time to be shy. That great opening line? You got that going for you too.

LEOAwaken to something better
Lust replaces lacklustre
Shake ups and shake downs shake you free
Mars exits your sign for your 2nd while Mercury arrives in your 1st the following day (11th). Before Mercury makes that crossing, it opposes Pluto which is back in your 6th. Lightning strikes and revelations, the sudden shift you didn’t see coming – all designed to let you loose from something that may have persisted for far too long, Leo.
Mars in your 2nd sets off a mini-rumble around your soul and actual worth. It’s the shake before the quake if you like. Here is something you have ‘put up with’ simply because you thought you had no other choice or option. Maybe it is a deep emotional wound you have carried around that has led you to make choices you would not normally have settled for. A habit or a situation you have fallen into. All the aspects add up to not just seeing the situation for what it is. But an ‘enough is enough’ moment.
Mars hands you the confidence to break away and also go for something better. That better paying job, that nurturing relationship, that new level of self-care and pride again. It’s a beautiful reset for you, Leo.
Ruler the Sun remains in your 12th for just a while longer. Ahead of your new cycle, a fresh direction or re-fired up ambition awakens you to your own greatness again as the Sun reaches across to Uranus in your 10th. Time to head towards something. Free of the past limitations. Whether self-imposed or by others. Nobody stops the glow, Leo.
In a nutshell: Expect a sudden awakening or the ability to see options you didn’t know existed for you, Leo. Ahead of your new cycle, you turn back up your glow. Sudden change is the shift you’ve been waiting for.

VIRGODon’t let anything dampen your fire – feed it!
Does the outer you reflect the inner one?
Get your fierce on
Virgos and Virgo Risings – get your fierce on! Unstoppable you puts their best face forward as Mars reaches your 1st. Inner dreams, goals and inspiration power you forward now as ruler Mercury changes gears and arrives in your secretive 12th house.
Deep down you know what you want. Or what you need to do, Virgo. This week hands you the green light to take affirmative action on your own behalf. No hesitation. No self-doubt. With Mars now in your sign, your intentions and how you project these are all-important. Do pay extra attention to your image, face, look, appearance, style and overall brand message on-line and off it. Does it radiate confidence and also fierce self-belief? If you feel the answer is no, or if there is a disconnect between how you feel inside and the outer package, you will find taking the time to bring these into alignment the best investment you could make right now.
Just know that if anyone or anything is now not an accurate reflection of this, it will simply be released or exit your sphere. Shifts around friend and lovers – one way or another, can occur as before Mercury crosses into your 12th, it opposes Pluto in your 5th on the 10th. Who or what you attract is now a better fit with the vibe you are radiating. The Sun in your 11th fires up the desire for freedom or to break away into something more potentially fulfilling as it ignites Uranus in your 9th (14th). That surprise twist or opportunity is just the catalyst you need to make it all happen.
In a nutshell: Mysterious shifts and twists of fate are sent to you as course corrections if needed. What changes this week is set to free you. So don’t resist the process, Virgo. A new you is emerging. Ensure your image reflects this.

LIBRALet the real you out to play
Get social
Make that breakthrough move
Your reactions this week could take others and even yourself by surprise. Especially if people have been underestimating you. But maybe this is simply your authentic voice needing to be heard. If they didn’t think you had it in you, you will now turn that perception on its head as Mars reaches your 12th and the Sun in your 10th strengthens the desire to breakaway as it heats up Uranus in your change sector.
I could say high time, Libra. Changes could occur around work and/or living arrangements as before Mercury crosses into your social 11th, it opposes Pluto back in your 4th. The result could well be a new level of achievement, attainment or a sudden move which propels you off into something bigger and more satisfying.
Those critics could be confounded by just how much you can achieve. Your focus is laser-sharp as you have a particular outcome in mind and are simply determined to go for it. If someone has not been giving you their 100% in your relationship, on minimum input or cruise control, you’ll show them you are no longer willing to be taken for granted.
Scene and be seen with Mercury now in your 11th (11th). Mars in here kick-started your annual social and goal getting peak. Mercury continues the party once it lands. Expect flurries of messages, invites, gatherings and get-togethers and also new people to cross your path. Expect in the coming weeks past places and faces to feature in fresh ways. As could a goal you set aside and now see due for a present day revival.
In a nutshell: The choice you make this week may be a surprising one. But when you stop and think about it, it aligns with the real you. If others are confounded or mystified, perhaps that’s because they pigeon-holed you. You won’t be confined this week, Libra.

SCORPIOIf you stick with what you know all you get is the same
RSVP to that invite from the cosmos
Are you brave enough to embrace something bigger?
Ruler Pluto’s back and forth between your 3rd/4th houses will continue until the end of ‘24. During this time you will engage in transformational conversations, break out of remaining restrictions and claim your true path. Of course, this work calls for courage. It asks you leave your comfort zone. Either in how you habitually deal with people. Or simply what you believe is possible for you to experience, have or achieve.
Mercury hints at something bigger if you are brave enough to embrace it. Or even consider it, Phoenix! Especially when it comes to big, bold only-the-brave kind of loves now Jupiter is working away in your 7th. Before Mercury gets to work on your career, public image and status when it enters your 10th (11th), it opposes Pluto in your 3rd from your 9th (10th). Step out into something a little testing in that this may be a new and different dynamic, but if you say Yes to it, there’s so much more on offer for you.
Staying stuck, staying with the same honestly isn’t an option. Mars in your 11th from the 10th also emboldens you when it comes to both your social life and in going for goal. You’re a little more fiery, a lot more confident and a touch more daring when it comes to either putting yourself out there, or experimenting when it comes to getting what you want.
While the Sun remains in your 9th, travel, expansion, learning journeys, solutions and opportunities surround you. This is a house of your chart which never compels you. It invites you. It wants your freedom and your growth. But never pushes. It is always up to you to say yes. Acceptance sends you headlong into evolution as the Sun aligns to Uranus on the 7th. This is a journey or a stage you’re not travelling alone. Not that you need hand-holding, Scorpio. But love or a united purpose is the fuel for the next stage. RSVP to the positive.

SAGITTARIUSRecognition and rewards seek you out
Get ready to accept
Next hot topic? That’s you!
Ready for your close up, Sag? You should be front-of-house, camera ready and waiting for your cue this week. Stepping up, being recognised or finding yourself in the spotlight is always a test of our confidence, self-belief and empowerment. Claiming rewards takes staying power and conviction. With a side order of faith in yourself. Ready?
Pluto is currently engaged in a back-and-forth, in and out dance between your 2nd and 3rd which lasts until the end of 2024 when it is over for good. Expect money, self-worth and communications to be intertwined. How you communicate your value and your worth plays a key role in what you take out of this cycle With ruler Jupiter at work in your 6th along with Uranus (which also features this week), that move on up could well occur around the 10th when Mercury opposes Pluto from Pluto’s ruling 8th. It asks if you are ready? Because this could well be if not now then when? moment for you.
Knowing you are the right stuff. That you deserve to be singled out and rewarded is a key element to this. And you enjoying the moment. Mars moves into your 10th of career firing up those ambitions but also ensuring you won’t hesitate in claiming the prize when it is dangled in front of you. This week’s out of the blue date for that could well be the 14th as the Sun in your 8th intensifies Uranus’s gift of serving you opportunity when or where you least expected it. Good thing you are poised and ready to accept, Sag. Bring the future into focus. And put yourself in the picture.
In a nutshell: You’re the fast company everyone wants to move with or be seen with this week. News or an offer could put you centre stage. Or you get singled out for special focus and attention. Don’t doubt it’s your turn now, Sag!

CAPRICORNA key conversation brings a new era
Fierce, fiery freedom beckons
Is something too good to refuse, Cappy?
One of those weeks where change offers you a seductive alterative to how you visualised something working out. The thing about our imaginations is: the universe can always dream something better. This week may show you that so open your mind to possibilities, Cappy!
Sweet soul, you’ve been through transformative and testing times with Pluto making a once-in-a-lifetime transit of your sign. You’ve been forged in the fires of transformation. Freshly formed. You are different. Your core connections are different. And what you want from others now looks vastly different than when this began. You are now in the end game of this. But for the moment, Pluto is back in your 1st. Don’t worry it will be gone for good by 2025. Never to return. For now, a key conversation or even ‘Hello’ leads to a shift in an existing relationship or has the power to usher in an important new one as Mercury in your 7th opposes Pluto on the 10th.
Something fiery, freeing which ignites your imagination or fuels desire could entice you to change course and seek out something different. That’s the heat and seduction of Mars landing in your 9th. Strangely, you are not being impulsive if you do decide to opt for that different choice. You will consider it carefully but come to the conclusion it’s just simply right for who you are right now. Not who you were.
Sure, others may not understand your process. But to you it’s the obvious choice. Again, even if it looks different. Change is in the air as Mercury lands in Pluto’s ruling 8th (11th). But sudden, surprising attractions, offers and solutions make this a seductive week which just wants you to take the plunge in some way. With Jupiter also in your 5th of heady, sensual pleasure and love – how can you refuse, Capricorn?
In a nutshell: Someone may make you an offer you can’t refuse this week. It’s a heady, seductive decision. On the surface, it may seem out of character to others. But you know what you want – or need, Capricorn. And that’s all that matters.

AQUARIUSClean out those closets
Set new priorities
You dictate where life flows from here
With Pluto back in your 12th and Mars entering your 8th this week, you are in warrior spirit mode when it comes to going for what you want. You cannot change your past. But one thing Pluto in your 12th has taught you as it has cleaned out those closets is you can use it to ensure your future looks very different.
Pluto will continue its back and forth between your 12th and your sign until the start of ‘25 when it exits your 12th for good. During this time you will be working with any residue remaining. And also simply determined to ensure your past does not repeat itself. What Pluto should have handed you as you confront those shadows, is the knowledge you have the power to direct how that future unfolds. You may be very focussed on your resources this week – how you use these and how to increase them.
Work and wellbeing, your base, your path, security and satisfaction all form facets of the future picture you are creating. Keep your focus on these as these are the areas right now you have the greatest capacity to change. Partnerships – existing and potential, now begin to come into focus as part of this as Mercury switches signs on the 11th landing in your 7th. Get talking to that significant other, look at how your criteria needs to evolve when seeking a mate if you are single, or make that application for that job. Don’t stand still. Use your power.
Ruler Uranus is ready with that boost as it aligns to the Sun in your wellbeing sector on the 14th. Perhaps placing information, insight or an opportunity to move into something better suited for you. Clear out those final cobwebs, Aquarius. And let the future start flowing.
In a nutshell: How has that love criteria changed, Aquarius? The qualities you value in a mate have shifted. Along with that, time to clear out any remaining cobwebs when it comes to your past. The future gets rebooted this week in present time.

PISCESLet go and attract
Go where passion flows
Thank your lucky stars!
The best stars of the week belong to you and fellow water sign of Cancer, Pisces. Time to dance with the rhythm of the cosmos. Especially as you have the Sun in its ruling 5th in your chart. Turning up the heat on attraction and hedonistic pleasure.
Above all, this week wants you to get out of your own way. And ditch any cares or concerns around what others may think. The only real failure is that of not daring to try in the first place. So, don’t allow fears of failure to stop you in your tracks. Enticing and inviting people, powerful events and opportunities swirl around you as Mercury in your 5th sits opposite Pluto at the cosmic dinner table on the 10th. The same day sees Mars land in your 7th and passions run high. You may see clearly what (or who!) you’ve been missing in your life. So, when it appears, don’t hesitate or second guess yourself. But if it no longer gets your pulse racing maybe its time to go in a new direction.
Luck favours the brave and daring now. So do make your move, Pisces. Again, this requires confidence and the ability to simply act on faith and go in the direction your heart is tugging you. Without worrying too much about where you end up.
Your passions are your barometer and also the beat to which you need to dance, Pisces. Mercury’s arrival in what is its ruling house on the 11th asks you also direct that passion into self-care and what you do. The week’s lucky star turn on the 14th features a breathtaking tango between the Sun and Uranus in your 3rd. If news or an invitation gets your spirit moving and that pulse pumping – that’s your cue to simply abandon cares and go with it.
In a nutshell: Work that luck factor this week as the planets shine on effortless flow and right place, right time and most importantly, right mindset, Pisces. Passion is both your fuel and your compass. Use it to attract.

TAURUSWhere are those second thoughts taking you?
Big up that perspective
Go to the heart of the matter, truth seeker!
Restlessness is an unusual mindset for you. Yet, you could find yourself experiencing it under this week’s full Moon in your 9th. Have you a yearning to find the truth, Taurus? Because chances are this is what you are really searching for.
Yes, travel or the desire to escape may feature. Something draws you to explore beyond the familiar. Do answer this but also keep in mind what may be fuelling it too. That truth? Or dare for that matter? Here’s a clue – it could be around something you are questioning. As in a person or a decision. Does it still hold true for you? I could even go so far as to say you may be having second thoughts. Or even third ones. Don’t shove this aside whatever you do. The full Moon draws those questions to the surface in order for you to examine them and find the answers. It asks you step back and see the bigger picture here. Or to shift your perspective in order to see the direction you now need to take. Just because something is familiar or was right for you at some point, doesn’t mean it cannot or should not change or evolve.
All this desire to uncover just what is behind that yearning for more is due to Mercury’s aspect to not just the full Moon but also Uranus in your 1st and Neptune in your 11th. Your 9th is where the truth resides while Mercury rules facts and communication. Take a fearless, explorer’s stance and go seek it out. Get the answers you know you need to that big question, Taurus. Not knowing keeps you stuck. And don’t they always tell you: the truth will set you free? More truth telling in your Full Moon in Capricorn Moonscope.
In a nutshell: Any feelings of restlessness you experience under this week’s full Moon could be linked to questions around a past choice or decision you made, Taurus. It’s your desire for answers that you need to explore now!

GEMINIAll fair – or needs to be
Is this As Good As It Gets?
Just ask, Gemini!
Fair’s fair or needs to be under this week’s full Moon in your 8th. It impacts on ruler Mercury in your house of money and values. Hence the need to keep things very much on the level. Or steer clear of agreeing to something you know isn’t right. Or is skewed unfairly in the other party’s favour. Steer clear of ‘This is as good as it gets’ thinking. Or being afraid to ask for what you really want.
There’s a shift occurring in either the balance of power around a key area or simply what you are or aren’t prepared to accept now. This is a full Moon on alchemy and transformation. Yes, it touches on your money, income and finances. Especially the shared kind. But also puts you in the hot seat when it comes to your ability to ask or negotiate. Or simply walk away if it doesn’t feel right.
Mercury’s angles to Uranus (7th) and then Neptune (9th) could have you looking back at when you maybe should have done exactly that or stuck to your guns, but didn’t. And also asks the question: what did you think would happen if you did? What do you think will happen now if you say: The buck stops here? Is that scary, empowering – or both? If something does not work out the way you thought this week, it’s because the universe knows there’s a better deal out there for you, Gemini. You need to know without a doubt you deserve that if so. Go get it.
In a nutshell: You were never destined to simply ‘settle’, Gemini. This week’s full Moon in your soul empowering 8th taps you back into your emotional core and determination. You’re suddenly unafraid to go for what you want. Or ask for it, fearlessly.

CANCERExpress your highest, purest truth
Love brings a turning point
Open your heart
Pure love and intention is what you radiate now. And you are seeking this in return, Cancer. Whatever your feelings under the full Moon in your 7th – don’t doubt your right to feel the way you do. Especially if this involves you and another.
That pure love asks for your honesty and your intention should be sharing this. The Moon opposes Mercury in your 1st asking you open up and allow others in to your emotional world. Share don’t censor now. If not with that significant other then with a friend or someone you trust. The more open you are, the closer you’ll feel. Giving you the emotional validation you’re seeking. You want to be heard and also, want to listen in return.
Full Moons bring full stops. Pauses and peaks. This one is no exception. An interaction between you and another may bring a turning point for both of you. Mercury in your sign also interacts with Uranus in your 11th and Neptune in your 9th. Is it time to be out and about? Either with your boo for an extra special date night. Or simply circulating if single? Don’t necessarily go out looking for just one kind of love however. It’s a many splendoured thing this week and comes in many forms. So, take a No Limts, open hearted approach and see who crosses your path. In fact, pure, open-heartedness is what invites love in, Cancer. Let your feels lead you.
In a nutshell: An all-important full Moon marks an important milestone in how you feel about one particular union or connection, Cancer. You’ve no problem communicating your highest, purest intentions now. Share those feels – and own them.

LEODeep clean your life
Release what doesn’t work
Realness is in focus
July and the full Moon on the 3rd opens up the path to a whole lot of truth telling and exposes, Leo. Seeing things as they are and not how you might like them to be. The full Moon is in your 6th of fact-checking and ultimate wellbeing. Which means it opposes your ruler the Sun in your 12th as well as Mercury also in here. Mercury rules your 6th house. So, its intention is to show you whether something is good for you – or not, as the case may be.
You are at the peak of your annual soul house clearing process this week. All in the run up to the Sun’s arrival in your 1st. This is always an invitation to look closely at what or even who goes forward into your new cycle with you. This includes those thoughts or ways of doing things as your 6th is your house of work, habits and routine. Again, look to what supports and assists you. What elevates and makes life easier. Or what blocks, drains or has simply turned into hard work with little to show for it.
Mercury aligns with Uranus (7th) and Neptune (9th), and this is a cosmic highlighter showing you exactly what you need to accept as being real. It tells you: It is what it is. You can only change how you react to it. If you doubt your ability to do this, this week taps you into hidden resources you may have no idea where available. You plug back into your own power and astound anyone who may be underestimating you. You could have a major rethink in the next two weeks. What’s working beautifully for you goes the distance and on into your new cycle. What’s not – there’s no covering up those flaws. It’s decision time. But your next move is clear and certain, Leo.
In a nutshell: Get the reals around what works in your life – and what simply needs releasing. This week’s full Moon is the cosmic highlighter which shows you which is which. And the choice – simply effortless, Leo.

VIRGOGo with the flow
Embrace joy
Express yourself!
The full Moon in your 5th wants to bathe you in beauty, romance, inspiration and pleasure, Virgo. So, indulge and immerse yourself fully. Ruler Mercury in your 11th along with the Sun, not only enters this moondance, but draws Uranus and Neptune onto the floor along with it. You should be surrounded by like-minded souls. Or simply one special one.
Holidays, hobbies, children and stepping out of the flow of time and into where you totally lose yourself in a matrix of play and hedonism is possible. Abandon yourself into the moment. Pleasure is a valid spiritual experience. So why deny yourself the sheer joy of experiencing it?
Express yourself, don’t check yourself. And if someone has a problem with that – that’s theirs so don’t make it yours. Or allow it to dull your shine. Although this week promises sparkle, there’s always someone who has to find fault or get nitpicky. Understand if so, this isn’t about you. The message of the week is to be a joy bringer and to seek out your fellow co-creators of beauty, love and heaven-sent delights. It’s good for your soul and it’s good for theirs too. And simply give anyone who doesn’t share this view a wide berth. Don’t dilute your vibe. More joy in your Full Moon in Capricorn Moonscope.
In a nutshell: Feel the fabulizing effect of the full Moon in your 5th this week. It tells you that love isn’t just all around you – it’s within you. Unleash it via creative self-expression and how you shine. And yes, you’re set to attract the outer kind too, Virgo.

LIBRAYou define cool
Buy out of others’ drama
Be specific
This week’s full Moon is in the Moon’s ruling house in your chart. It therefore amps up your sensitivity and packs an unexpected emotional punch. You may not be the one who is bringing the drama under it however. This full Moon asks you take your time over how you respond to those around you who may be thriving on whatever drama they can create. And it may seem someone is going out of their way to use this as an excuse to grab anything from your time and attention to your life-force if you allow it.
You may have to (temporarily) appear to emotionally distance yourself and may even find yourself criticised for this. Especially if someone is seeking to push your buttons and elicit a specific response from you. Continue to keep things in review over the days immediately following this full Moon. And refuse to be rushed, Libra.
This full Moon actually fills you with a new kind of strength. It sees you keeping your cool even when others around you are losing theirs. If you have a specific goal in mind, you are fine tuned and focussed now especially over anything to do with home or your career. One thing is for sure this week, Libra. You gain a certain perspective over a specific dynamic operating in your life. Between you and someone close to you. This could be a relative, someone you live with or even a boss. But what you realise is you are not responsible for their emotions. Only yours. Sure, as usual you are there to listen and to support. You are not responsible for their happiness. And their feelings are theirs and yours are yours. Seeing where that boundary lies is the ultimate revelation this week. Do use it.
In a nutshell: It could be you redefine what keeping your cool looks like this week, Libra. Especially if someone around you is losing theirs. You’re the rock in that stormy sea. The light to steer by. Keep your focus – rewards are in sight.

SCORPIONews or a conversation proves pivotal
Share that truth
That timing – pitch perfect
Something could be said that has a big impact on you under the full Moon in your 3rd (3rd). The Moon opposes not just the Sun in your 9th but also Mercury – which rules your 3rd. So, expect news, interactions, extreme activity across your social media and internet and for one discussion to prove pivotal.
Thanks to the angles Mercury makes with Uranus in your 7th and Neptune in your 5th, love or ‘I love you’ could be that all-important topic. Your heart is open and what you are broadcasting is your emotional truth. Don’t even try to pretend you’re not feeling what you feel, phoenix. Because you won’t fool anyone! Just own it.
This week could also see you busy. Lots of movement not just of the information kind but tooing and froing. Travel could even feature while others just seem to spend time rushing around to meetings or simply their neighbourhood. Keep a To Do list or that diary handy as it could be easy to forget where you need to be or even why. A personal or work/study project cycle could peak and if you’re planning your pitch or launch – this is pitch perfect timing. Your truth is impossible to hide and the other bonus is others can’t hide theirs from you. You know what they are thinking – or needing. If you work in advertising, sales or any industry where you deliver the message – or offer the product or service – people are buying now. This includes you personally if dating. Appy days, phoenix!
In a nutshell: The full Moon in your 3rd is linked to perfect, cosmic timing when it comes to what you say or act on, Scorpio. Something you hear could bring a pivotal moment or a decision which opens up opportunity or possibility. Go with it.

SAGITTARIUSFocus is your superpower
Set your intentions
Know your destination
The bottom line beckons as in your bank account, income, benefits, investments under the full Moon in your money zone. If the Moon is in your 2nd, this puts the Sun and also Mercury, in your ‘other’ money house – your 8th. Mercury is also angling across to Uranus in your 6th and Neptune in your 4th this week. If you’ve allowed matters to drift – this is the moment you decide to take control and change course.
How you make your bread and even extra brioche becomes your main area of motivation. Of course, there’s an end game behind all of this, Sag. Chances are you want to shake and bake in order to fund a big dream. Anything from that holiday to a house or a horse. This full Moon hones your focus and considerable emotional resources. While Mercury hands you the ideas. Upskilling? A better paying gig? A side hustle? Uranus in the mix says you’re at your most inventive while Mercury’s angle to Neptune adds the all-important practical aspect. It’s no good to simply dream. You gotta do now.
What you will recall under this full Moon or see demonstrated in results you can bank on, is that where your intention and focus are invested, the results flow back. You may even recall examples from your past where sustained focus brought you the take-out you wanted. This Moon highlights that truth. So, sustain that focus on throughout the month and watch for the change, Sag.
In a nutshell: Think back to those times where you have been utterly focussed on bringing about a specific result or goal. You have that kind of laser-like intention available to you this week. Where that goes – energy flows.

CAPRICORNYou can’t hide the truth
Step into a new dynamic around relating
Good things come in different wrappers
Emotional truths and also a new road towards love and relating are exposed by the full Moon in your sign (3rd). The full Moon shines back into your 7th. Where the Sun ignites your yearly partnership peak. And also aligns to Mercury boosting your ability to share your feelings.
Dreamy, steamy and even unexpected developments in love and partnership matters colour your work as Mercury also angles to Uranus in your 5th and Neptune in your 3rd. Someone could share their feelings with you, opening up a new dimension between the two of you. But if you have been avoiding anything between you and that boo which needs airing, it could come tumbling out of its own accord. What this tells you is not to shy away from having that conversation now. Or refrain from starting one. This is a full Moon under which to make your move – and this includes the first one. So, swipe away if love is what you seek. More in your Full Moon in Capricorn Moonscope.
It’s not just love and marriage partnerships which are in focus. It’s one particular double act, duo, duel or duet that plays a part under this Moon. It could therefore be that boss, that bae, that ride or die, that activity partner or business partner. Or that rival or opponent. If there is outstanding business to be resolved or even new business to be started, this full Moon points the way to a fresh approach or a better outcome for you. It asks you be open to trying at least. And if love arrives looking different to what you thought it would – good things come in unusual packaging now. Keep that in mind, Cappy.
In a nutshell: Love opens up a new avenue to relating thanks to the full Moon in your sign this week. Don’t hide from the truth – yours or another’s. If love is on your mind – open it to the possibility that it may not look exactly like you thought it would. And that’s a good thing.

AQUARIUSRevelations bring release
You don’t need to do anything this time
Focus on the good stuff
The full Moon is in your 12th and brings a revelation on the 3rd. Mercury is in its ruling 6th and will highlight any areas where changes need to be made. You also can’t escape the mind/body/spirit connection either this week. Your particular holy trinity of wellbeing is intertwined. Changes to your work, routine or approach to fitness may follow over the next two weeks. Be aware under this full Moon you will be unusually sensitive to atmospheres and vibes. From that aura that person puts out to where you spend your time – from your workplace to home, and the effect they have on you overall, become apparent now. Once you make that connection – make the necessary adjustment. This includes that relationship vibe too. It’s all connected.
Mercury’s angle to ruler Uranus in your 4th (7th), could sweep away any confusion around an issue. Funny as you may not actually need to do anything with this one or even follow through. By the time Mercury trines Neptune in your 2nd, it might just have resolved itself (9th). So, don’t be in too much of a rush. What the full Moon also highlights this week is the good stuff and what truly works for you. As a result you could literally be counting your blessings and letting all the other stuff go. That in turn boosts your own energy level making this a perfect circle of love and connection. Love what works and what doesn’t – stop worrying, Aquarius.
In a nutshell: If faced with a choice or action this week, not choosing or inaction sees the situation resolve all by itself. Your focus should be on those blessings. The more gratitude you give, the more you have to give thanks for.

PISCESCirculate to kick-start those dreams
Intuition is your compass
Flow and be flexible
This week sees Mercury in your romantic 5th make a wonderful angle to your ruler Neptune on the 9th. It comes hot on he heels of the full Moon in your 11th – the house where your dreams begin. This is a full Moon under which you need to put yourself out there. To socialise and circulate. You could meet someone and not be aware of the huge role they will play in your future. Someone you think of as a friend could offer you so much more. Or that new contact could end up having a bigger influence than you think now.
Do however use your intuition as your guide. Especially if you have been feeling that the synergy has changed between you and someone else. The full Moon can expose friendships which have run their course. As well as uniting you with like-minded souls. If what is highlighted is the former, let go of labels such as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and keep a universal thankful mindset for the time you have spent together. Release with gratittde and move on.
Mercury’s angle to Uranus in your 3rd will bring unexpected news, an invitation or mark the start of an exciting shift for you (7th). It asks you keep an open mind, remain flowing and flexible. And above all, wait for the full picture to develop. Be playful and willing to experiment and explore. Especially when it comes to creative ventures, friendships and love, Pisces. Dreams are being born whether you realise it or not. Watch as they begin to coalesce over the next two weeks.
In a nutshell: Not a week to hide your light, Pisces. You need to be seen, to circulate and to be open to the last-minute, the exciting and the shift. This is a week to stand out or put yourself out there. It’s the point where new dream can begin.

Weekly Astrology June 26th 2023 for All Signs
ARIESWhat you seek is strictly personal
Time for satisfaction and rewards
You have the attention
You want something that’s uniquely personal to you. Somehow Mick singing about not getting any satisfaction isn’t anything you can relate to. There’s an emotional intensity around this desire. And you’re not going to stop until you get it.
This week wants you to stretch yourself. Even as you look to feathering your own nest thanks to the Sun and then Mercury in your 4th. Buying, selling, renting, leasing property, career decisions or even family matters gain traction and also clarity. Opportunity could literally knock with the perfect deal thanks to the meeting between the Sun and Mercury (which rules contracts) on the 1st. Both also entice Jupiter now in your 2nd, opening opportunities and assets. The Sun and Mercury both trine Saturn in your 12th this week promising rewards stemming from the past or something you’ve worked long and hard to attain.
The uniquely personal want or need comes from ruler Mars and also Venus in your 5th. Maybe to express yourself creatively. Maybe to experience love. Perhaps for a more satisfying, heart starting experience in another key area. Whatever it is, you feel a restless urge which won’t let you go until yes, you’re satisfied. The thing is, you know what you need to do to get it. Are you simply ready to admit to yourself that you’ll do it better than anyone else? You have someone’s attention in the best possible way this week, Aries. The outcome? So satisfying if you just toss that mane and go for it.
In a nutshell: With ruler Mars and Venus in your romance and attraction zone, you won’t take no for an answer when it comes to satisfaction. This is no week to be shy. Or to hold back from making your move. You’ll never know unless you try.

TAURUSKick-start that conversation
Action creates opportunity
The right company includes you now, Taurus!
Mercury rules your 3rd and joins the Sun in here from the 27th. Both meet on the 1st and their angles to Jupiter in your 1st brings up tender conversations and self-initiated opportunities your way. Don’t hold back and above all, don’t self-censor now. Your ideas or what you share could turn into a literal pot of gold. Or bring to you the solution you’re seeking. But to make the most of this you have to start the discussion, Taurus.
Do make the most of your contacts and people you know. Especially those who are older than you and offer insight and worldly wisdom. Those of you who have made all the right moves so far in terms of your public image and your career, could receive an invitation to join an elite group or find yourself keeping company with VIP’s or those in positions of influence (in the traditional rather than the social media sense). The Sun and Mercury’s alignments to Saturn in your 11th tells you this week is about who you know or meet rather than what you know. Ensure you come across as someone who belongs.
Ruler Venus along with Mars are in residence in your 4th of home and family. And asking you to take care of some outstanding business in these areas which is actually, long overdue. You do need to own that you love the status quo. And can allow those lifestyle choices to continue long past their use-by date. Do take charge and don’t procrastinate this week if something close to home demands your attention. Don’t make excuses or claim you’re too busy. The high tensile angles between Mars (26th) and then Venus (2nd), and Uranus show you on these dates that you can’t afford to ignore or not get talking about what needs to change. If you need advice on the best way forward – your best resource is also found in your circle, Taurus.
In a nutshell: A key discussion paves the way towards progress or something so much better close to home. So don’t put off having it. Watch for invitations or an opportunity to mix and mingle with movers and shakers. You have entrée. Use it.

GEMINIStand and deliver!
Be ready to claim your rewards
Step up and get serious
Stand and deliver aspects mean that you are about to hold someone accountable this week. In other words, they need to put their money where their mouth it. Yes, talk is cheap and actions will prove to speak louder than words. Volumes in fact, Gemini.
Venus and Mars are busy having one type of conversation in your 3rd. While ruler Mercury joins the Sun in your 2nd from the 27th. You may be the one asked to deliver across the 29th-30th when boss planet Saturn will trine the Sun and your ruler from its ruling 10th. This is your opportunity to be seen, to leverage that past track record of achievement and reap the rewards. You are clear on your outcome. And expect serious results.
Your reputation sits on your ability to deliver and keep your word. Yes, you are serving that in all seriousness now. But what about others, Gemini? Your 2nd is your house not just of money but of your self-worth and how you expect to be treated. If someone is promising you the Moon but failing to deliver even a glow-in-the-dark sticker, then the gap between words and results will be shown to be wider than ever. They may even promise one too many times. And you’re now done with making excuses for them. Or their excuses come to that.
Good news around the 1st should more than make up for any shortfall or disappointment. You’re done and also off to claim bigger and better things for yourself. What may at first look like a setback quickly rights itself or pushes you down a new path. And you suddenly see that unless this had happened, you would never have taken the steps towards something better. Opportunity could arrive in disguise thanks to the Sun and your ruler in conversation with Jupiter on the 1st. If you say no more, stick to that. Do get serious and real about what you will and won’t accept. And add up the cost for not doing that.
In a nutshell: Put the finishing touches to projects and plans this week, Gemini as ruler Mercury prepares to turn retro. When it comes to money – hang on to your cash. Time to save rather than spend.

CANCERStop the dreaming and start the action
Magic begins with work
It’s a Go For It week
Lift the lid on those dreams for the coming year as Mercury lands in your sign (27th) and Neptune retro in your 9th indicates the time for just dreaming is done. Now you need to get on with the doing. You’ve one of the best, most imaginative windows of the year opening up for you. And you need to seize the day – and the momentum, Cancer. Next month we will enter the most intense retrograde weather of the year so far. Progress will slow or stall completely. This tells you – make the most of the moment. It’s your biggest birthday gift.
The 1st offers you one of the best dates of your cycle of delight as this sees the Sun and Mercury meet. Good news flows in your direction whether this is your actual birthday or not. You are at your most open, outgoing, flirtatious. Ready to party and play. And also share. That excitement you’re projecting is contagious. Life and soul of the party? Yes, and then some.
If you utterly, seriously and definitely want something, do take the steps towards it. Saturn in your 9th is all about bringing those dreams down to earth. And pursuing them in a practical manner. It tells you that yes, this is all possible. But it will take work as well as the magic of your imagination to make it real. If you are willing to do that, and act rather than just talk, then the Sun and Mercury’s alignments to Saturn across the 29th and 30th could deliver you someone prepared to listen or offer some kind of backing. There’s the gifts of validation, love and manifestation in the air. Share your enthusiasm. And allow it to fuel you.
In a nutshell: Glow for it, Cancer! The arrival of Mercury in your sign along with the Sun puts you at your most playful, flirtatious and outgoing. You clearly see what you want and are determined to have it. Magic is created by us taking action. So make it happen.

VIRGOVibe with the sensitive, the spiritual, the seekers
Get connecting
What stops your from saying ‘Yes’?
Friendships and all connections need spiritual depth. Creative souls are the ones you vibe best with. Seeking love? Usually the Sun and ruler Mercury in your 11th would be more about the friendship than the romantic kind. But you have Saturn and Neptune in your 7th and Mars and Venus in your 12th. Barriers to finding love are lifting or a past love returns. Don’t rule this out.
Single or settled, the 1st offers one of the best days of the month to connect and circulate thanks to the meeting of your ruler and the Sun in your social sector. Do get out and about. Organise to get together with friends. And resist any impulse so stay home and cocoon. The bigger the gathering or the more people at the venue you choose – the better. This is a week to draw new connections to you. Simply by being out and about. Right place, right time. And don’t be afraid to strike up that conversation either. Mars in your 12th doesn’t do shyness.
Taking a chance and putting yourself out there pays off. This applies to singles. It’s about setting the energy in motion. Surprise trips, last minute invites could also feature. If they appear what’s stopping you from saying yes? There should be nothing right now. You’ll never never know what’s on offer if you never never go, Virgo. Time to simply find out. Don’t stay home.
In a nutshell: Whatever connection you are seeking – whether it be friendship or romance, this is your week to go look for it, Virgo. But know unions need spiritual depth to last. Your seeking that divine spark and lucky for you – others share it.

LIBRAGet serious
Bring your best game
Love the path you’re on
With the Sun and now Mercury (27th) in your 10th its now time for serious pursuits. Be this the pursuit of a career ambition or a more personal one. A big 10th house transit always calls on us to bring our best game. There are no half-measures. We have to have a clear outcome in mind. And also know how we aim to achieve this.
Don’t be diverted from what you know you want, Libra. Or what you know is right for that matter. Someone may ask you to deliver on something and if so, you need to be prepared to step up. Your 10th is your house of reputation. And that reputation is based on your ability to follow-through. So, don’t promise anything if you know deep down you can’t deliver.
However, your ability to deliver could see rewards, recognition and a soaring rep thanks to the angles between the Sun, Mercury and boss planet Saturn across the 29th-30th. The 1st could see you grasping that prize and happy with your outcome.
Ruler Venus is slowing down in your 11th in preparation for a rare retrograde later in July. Mars is also in here. Both planets ask you look to friendships for continued resonance. Sometimes we don’t even notice how one-sided a connection is. That friend who has so much to say but never asks us a personal question for instance. This doesn’t mean a friendship is over. But it may mean you need to call them out. For the upcoming retrocycle which will be intense – focus on taking care of the love you already have. And for this week, your career promises your best source of satisfaction and love of a different kind.
In a nutshell: You’re operating at Boss Level this week and need to bring your best game. Take what you want to achieve seriously. And watch how others take you seriously in return. You won’t be in the mood for one-sided friendships however. Those in high places? That’s a different matter.

SCORPIOYou can get there from where you are
Create opportunity
Get ready to dance with life!
Just occasionally the universe hands us an Access All Areas pass. Where we enter a cycle when more than one area of life – in fact several at once, run smoothly. This week just happens to be one of those.
You’re benefiting from ancient ruler and Mars in your house of public image and career. As well as the Sun and Mercury in your 9th of travel, opportunity, solutions and expansion. Then there’s Jupiter in your partnership zone – positively charged by both the Sun and Mercury from its ruling 9th on the 1st. Added to this beautiful alignments between the Sun, Mercury and Saturn in your house of creation, pleasure and attraction.
This tells you that you’re moving on up this week. Something new, enticing, exciting and above all, bigger is on offer for you. Dance in the creative vortex of your imagination. But do understand as with any transits, no matter how positive they are, what we take out from them is in direct proportion to the actions we take. Doing not very much at all dilutes your delivery. There’s so much confidence and daring bubbling up within you now, Scorpio, how dare you not?!
Good news or the start of a new journey or pathway to follow appears on the 1st when the Sun and Mercury meet. Do take a chance on this day and set something in motion. The response you receive back from the universe should be immediate. And confirm you are on the right track. If something is offered to you, whatever you do – don’t refuse it. Opportunity doesn’t wait around. And don’t forget – it’s also something we can create for ourselves. Simply by following that divine spark of inspiration that tells us we can.
In a nutshell: Life flows in your direction once more. We create luck and opportunity by simply taking action. And as we do, the universe moves with us. So, go with what’s on offer this week, Scorpio. The more you immerse yourself, the deeper the experience.

SAGITTARIUSChange those colours
Craft something better
Go with your process
You’ve got the attitude that without change there would be no butterflies. So, seeing as spreading your wings is first and foremost on your mind, you are more than happy to abandon yourself to the process, Sag. In whatever form it takes.
A key area may have been on your mind for some time as to where this needs to occur. It could even be close to home. Or around your work or something you do on a daily basis. Maybe it does still work – up to a point. But you know there is room for so much more improvement. Get to grips with transformation this week now Mercury arrives in your 8th (27th). And meets the Sun (1st). You will also benefit from the clarity that Neptune retrograde in your 4th delivers. As the steps you need to take in order to bring about the changes, become abundantly clear. And turn out to be so much simpler than what you thought.
The 1st is highlighted for you as this is the day when the Sun and Mercury both angle to ruler Jupiter in your 6th. Indicating the changes are all geared in your favour. Working less but achieving more for instance. Bigger, better benefits either in terms of money, time or take-out. There’s no pretending you don’t know what you need to do. Or what area calls out for some TLC. Give it all you’ve got now in terms of ideas, input, attention and love. And watch how everything including how you feel, changes for the better.
In a nutshell: Chances are you know what needs to change in your life, Sag. This week shows you that the smallest steps towards it deliver fast results or better outcomes than you imagined. Take one step and the next reveals itself. The process is simplicity itself. The results – simply beautiful.

CAPRICORNStand by your intention
You + another = greatness
That’s the power of love, Capricorn!
Your yearly love peak harnesses the lasting potential and long term promise of ruler Saturn this week. Yes, the Put a Ring on it planet in your house of vows, promises and contracts angles to Mercury in your 7th. From what is Mercury’s ruling house (30th). The Sun makes the same angle on the 29th.
Stand by what you say and believe what is said, Capricorn. This is the energy of the card of the Two of Cups in the Tarot. Two people – lovers, partners, friends, collaborators, come together with open-hearted intent. And are on the same page. Or they will be again if there has been a falling out or misunderstanding.
Renewed faith in love or the power of it, is also love making itself known. Both your houses of love, being loved, attraction and loving, are highlighted in what is a rare cycle for you with Uranus and Jupiter in your 5th. Don’t be afraid to ask for something bigger. While Saturn tells you only love integrity will do. Don’t just limit yourself to thinking the experience on offer is the love variety of love either. It’s two people, two hearts and two minds aligned in the same direction. What matters is the intention, the commitment, the purpose and the coming together. And hey – it’s all love. Which in your case and the other party’s – is greater than the sum of its parts.
In a nutshell: Your yearly partnership peak receives a rare boost due to both love houses being lit up this week, Capricorn. You and another party come together to share something. Love, a vision, a purpose, a goal. The reason doesn’t matter. It’s all love even if it’s not love love!

AQUARIUSDitch the need to ‘settle’
What is meant for you has your name on it
Passion is your direction
Make choices based on passion this week. And please – don’t settle, Aquarius. It seems like a good option at the time. But know what? It’s always fuelled by lack of self-worth. Those low-rent expectations which tell you: This is as good as it gets.
No way. Be patient. Keep the faith. Know in your heart of hearts what is meant for you ultimately will appear. Because it has your name on it. Now you can relax. This is especially true with relationships. Mars in your 7th entangles with ruler Uranus in your 4th on the 26th. Highlighting where ‘settling’ for anything from where you live to your path to your relationships, only delivers dissatisfaction eventually. Any frustrations you feel may be coming from that.
Venus also in your 7th (which it rules), makes the same angle on the 1st. Along with the Sun and now Mercury in your 6th of wellbeing and work, you’ll see the link between too much compromise which goes against the gain, and how you end up feeling. It’s just not good for you. This week allows you to redress this in a fresh way. Neptune retro lifts the lid when it comes to that self-esteem and why you bought into ‘settling’ in the first place. Oh and yes, there’s the other definition of that. Getting too settled with what no longer works or lights you up. The Sun and Mercury’s trine to Saturn in your 2nd says you deserve better. Trade up the settle wherever you may find it.
In a nutshell: The settle leads to dissatisfaction, Aquarius. You’ll be aware of areas where you’ve compromised too much this week. Was this because you were led to believe you couldn’t have what you really wanted? Trade up that belief system now.

PISCESRedirect the drift
Step out of the shadows and into the light
No hesitation – just go for it!
Ruler Neptune reverses in your sign this week. Neptune spends almost half the year backwards. It’s all part of its air of mystery. Seeing as it rules illusion and retrogrades are just that – illusions brought about by our earthly perspective, these lift under a Neptune retro. We get served a much needed dose of reality. Or simply a different spin. Be ready to not only receive that but take action as Mars and Venus both in your 6th, trigger Uranus in your 3rd. And yes, maybe things have been allowed to drift for far too long, Pisces. This is your opportunity to direct them where you want to go.
This is also your yearly pleasure peak with the Sun and now Mercury (27th) in your 5th. Attraction, romance, holidays, hobbies, passions and babies, children and young ones feature. This is an excellent week not just to escape illusions but to get away from it all in the form of a holiday if you can. Others may feel a veil has been lifted as they step out of the shadows to become the centre of attention once more. Do go after what you want. Especially as you should now no longer be distracted by what you don’t need. The 1st brings hot, swift summer love, good times and you at your brightest and most radiant. Don’t keep this hidden any longer, Pisces.
In a nutshell: Peer through illusions to be reality. Especially when it comes to your fierce beauty and talents waiting to be unfurled, Pisces. You step free of distractions to focus on what really lights up your soul. Others take notice when you make that move.

Weekly Astrology June 19th 2023 For All Signs – Cancer season
ARIESRebalance and realign
Where do you go from here?
Bring the heat, baby!
Happy solstice, Aries! The longest day in the Northern and the shortest in the Southern Hemisphere, as the Sun arrives in Cancer and your 4th (21st).
There’s a feeling of rebalancing and also reassessment at this point of the year. In astrological terms, we are halfway through it. So, its natural at this point to look at where we are (the place we’re in, ruled by Cancer and the 4th), how far we’ve come and where we want to get to next.
There’s also a lot of other planetary movement happening with Ceres returning to Libra (22nd). The yummy mummy of the zodiac hits the sign of marriage and partnerships. Also balance as symbolised by those scales. Too much mummy and not enough yummy? If that’s your feeling then its sensuality rebirth time! Solstice Day also sees Mercury in its ruling 3rd trine ruler Mars in your 5th. The heat is on and not just because its high summer! Those ideas or just your presence, ignite fires.
Juno enters Cancer asking if you feel ‘wedded’ to the place you are in? That sense of belonging extends to home and family. Vesta enters Gemini and your 3rd the same day (23rd). It asks you reawaken your self-belief. Be this in your ideas or the idea of your hotness, Aries. Believe it and be it this week.
In a nutshell: Serving summer hotness, it’s time to reawaken your smouldering sensuality if its been buried under practical matters for far too long. And believe 100% in yourself and your ideas. Bring it on home, baby!

TAURUSYou are the unstoppable force of your own destiny
Important or intriguing contacts feature in future plans
No more thinking, it’s all in the doing this week!
Plans and ideas you have been mulching over for some time now take on a fresh urgency this week. You need to act, to do something with them. The time for examining every facet of them for flaws is over. But that willingness to see them from every possible angle is what ensures a successful outcome, Taurus.
With Jupiter in da house, you’ve a Go big or go home approach to anything you set out to do, have or achieve. Here’s your secret, Taurus and what others forget. It may take you longer than other signs to decide on a course of action. But once you do you are an unstoppable powerhouse of determination and strength. This is the week where you harness this as Vesta moves out of your sign and therefore removes any lingering doubts around your intentions. And the Sun’s arrival in your 3rd simply feeds those ideas.
It is also the solstice and a time when we realise we are halfway through the year and really don’t have the luxury of wasting any more of it. This week also sees Ceres return to Libra and your 6th so if changes need to be made in the name of your ultimate wellbeing – you’ll commit to them without delay.
Jupiter highlights an important friendship or connection for you this week as it aligns to Saturn in your 11th. Watch out in particular for someone older or more experienced whose guidance or wisdom you can use. Others may encounter someone outside of their usual circle who offers entrée to a new one. Accept that invitation if so, Taurus. It’s all part of a larger plan that fits nicely into yours.
In a nutshell: Solstice week highlights the passage of time and the fact you can’t allow it to pass you by, Taurus. Your ability to examine plans from every possible angle is only one key ingredient for success. The other? Acting on them!

GEMINIYour truth is in your self-belief
Get a superstar mindset
Can I get it?!
I don’t want to hear any Wayne’s World chants of ‘We’re not worthy!’ from you as the Sun exits your sign and Vesta moves in, Gemini. Cool and above all, courageous is what you are with the Sun in your sector of shining self-worth. Vesta if we are not careful, can sow seeds of self-doubt. But funny as usually it does this via an agent. That person who tells us we can’t, shouldn’t or that disaster will happen if we do. And then reassures us that they only say this because they CARE.
You have your back, Gemini. Along with all-powerful Ceres back in your front-of-house 5th. Ceres is like Adele on steroids. You know it’s arrived. It’s loud, it’s gorgeous, it’s heavenly and unmissable. Do ensure you’re all that now and tune out anyone who tells you otherwise. (Saturn earrings are optional. But seeing as Saturn is in your house of status – bling it on!). Henry Ford once said: Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you’re right. So, opt for the superstar mindset because why would someone as smart as you be lured into wrong thinking?
Just to add to that unshakable belief, Juno also enters your 2nd on the 23rd. This offers an extraordinary solstice season which serves self-worthy and long term commitments in money and yes, in love too. Being worthy means being ready to accept.
Ruler Mercury remains in your sign and hands you a day packed with confidence and passion also on the 21st when it aligns to Mars in your 3rd. Nobody should be able to convince you that you are anything but the headline act this week, Gemini. So, do act as if you are. And if anyone tells you otherwise, they should be water under that bridge.
In a nutshell: The lyrics of Can I Get It are about having the real deal. You are that deal this week, Gemini. So, don’t allow anyone to dull that superstar glow and convince you that having what you want isn’t an option for you.

CANCERGlow for it!
Keep those promises as you travel
Happy birthday, Cancer
Shine bright like a diamond as the Sun reaches your sign (21st), bringing with it the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Winter in the Southern. You’re far to go and promises to keep in the coming 12 months. The ones you make to yourself being the most important. And unbreakable.
No more self-sacrifice in the year ahead. And no, you are not being selfish, Cancer. Being willing to take your personal goals seriously takes bravery and courage. The Sun along with Jupiter in your 11th hands you that. Funny how just thinking about your right to glow for it, turns up that shine and puts a big smile on your face. And also funny how the knock-on effect is that people simply want to be around you.
The promises you make to yourself will be kept as you begin this birthday season with Juno in your sign (23rd). Before Ceres re-enters your 4th (22nd), it restores the balance of power in a key relationship or area for you as it trines Pluto back in your 7th (21st). This is all about a new deal on the table. The compromise you crave out which allows you to have that birthday cake – and eat it too. This may require a reshuffling of time, priorities, resources. Or see you willing to call out someone over the fact something is unfairly loaded in their favour. Maybe it was okay before but it’s no longer your jam. Especially with Vesta now in your 12th (23rd). The other party may have been happy for the status quo to continue. Don’t shy away from making your first bold act of radiance a move to re-set the scales, Cancer.
In a nutshell: Travel forward into a new cycle of expansion with a fresh set of unshakeable promises you intend to keep – to yourself. That smile on your face when you think about them says it all. So so let others know how important this is to you. That’s your birthday gift this week, Cancer.

LEORaise that vibration
Explore your inner magnificence
Take a deep dive into your shining potential
Happy Solstice, Leo! Sun shifts are the all-important shining transit for you. In your 12th, your ruler shines its light on the truth, knowledge, creative inspiration and empathy contained within you. A vast resource that very often, contains gifts you are unaware of. The month leading up to your birthday however, is always an opportunity to take a deep dive into just how extraordinary these (and you), are.
Don’t buy into the one-dimensional, old astrology interpretation of the 12th house being all about things you wish you hadn’t discovered. The self-delusion, the bad choices, the places you don’t want to go or people who have gone over to the dark side – suddenly exposed. We can’t deny these are 12th house stuff. But in focussing on these, doom scrolling astrologers forget all the miracles in our 12th. The leaps our imagination can make, the blissful connection to spirit, the recapturing of the very best of our past, caring, higher love, channelled creativity and the ability to tap into the very best parts of ourselves. Doesn’t that sound like the kind of experiences you need, Leo?
Past promises also get paid out or forward with Juno joining your ruler in here (23rd). Watch for anyone who simply seems to want to do you a good turn with no apparent agenda in mind. You did the same for them once. Even if it wasn’t this lifetime. Before Ceres moves back into your 3rd (22nd), it trines Pluto from your 2nd promising rewards or a better deal around money and resources. An offer or deal is held out to you. This deserves your serious consideration.
You are more aware of what others need than usual due to your heightened sensitivity. But don’t ignore your own in your desire to meet them. This week is about showing yourself the same kind of understanding and compassion as you are willing to pour onto other people. This week also offers an effortless let-go of anyone or anything that isn’t on the same bandwidth of sensitivity as you. Moving up to a higher vibration has never been so easy.
In a nutshell: The Solstice brings you a different kind of summer heat. The intensity of all your hidden talents and capacity to live in a higher state of grace, Leo. Tap into caring, creativity and higher love. And don’t leave self-care out of the equation.

VIRGOCelebrate those unique facets
Get real
Acceptance is what real love looks like
How many ways can you think of to share and showcase everything that makes you so adorably and utterly unique, Virgo? In a world of knock-offs, be an original as the Sun along with Juno enters your 11th (21st and 23rd respectively). Time to reveal every precious facet of what makes you like no-one else. And to stop feeling you have to apologise or be anyone else.
Ceres which leaves you sign this week, is about personal empowerment when it is in our 1st. During Ceres retrograde in your 1st, you should have brokered a new deal over how you see yourself, your image and who you are, how you act and what you want from here on in. The arrival of the Sun in your 11th is the ideal time to show the brave, unapologetic version of you that you have been refining. Especially when it opposes Pluto in your 5th on the 21st.
From here on in you won’t be short changed in relationships. Nor stay with one where you feel pressured to be anyone but yourself. Total acceptance looks like real love now. And you offer the same thing in return to that lucky partner. Who can now relax and be loved – just the way they are.
Ruler Mercury along with Vesta in your 10th allows you to express your inner truth. Plus leave others in no doubt of your intentions. The real you and nothing added. Those who matter – your partner, spouse, boss, person whose opinion matters to you – see you as that rare creature, one who delivers and stands for integrity in a world that too often can’t do either. Let the real you show up this week, Virgo.
In a nutshell: Serve your realness this week, Virgo. In a way that only you can. It’s time to celebrate and showcase what makes you unlike anyone else. True love and friendship allows you to do this. Any other kind – just fake. Which you are certainly not!

LIBRAWork that star quality
Be courageous
You’re up close and personal!
The coming month is going to feel as if you are the star of your very own Keeping Up With series. I guess what I would like to ask you Libra, is how you would act, look, talk and dress if you knew the cameras were trained on you 24/7?
The arrival of the Sun into your 10th puts you centre of that scorching spotlight. You’re on show and it may feel as if the whole world is watching and judging your every move. This isn’t the effortless, centre-of-attraction vibe of your 5th house. You are taking a more aware, refined and strategic approach to how you come across and what you share. You know how you want to come across and will adjust that image in order to convey this.
The Solstice, the day when we are halfway through the astrological year, is always a good point for you to take yourself and what you want to achieve, more seriously. You’re not just the star of this show but the director and producer too. Keep this in mind as it hands you the power to plot your storyline, edit the dialogue and ensure you come across in exactly the right way to anyone who matters. Changes you make around this or channelling your focus into your career can hand you lasting results – or think of it as your show being renewed for as many seasons as you’d like, with Juno joining the Sun (23rd).
Ceres back in your sign hands you a new kind of courageous. In that while you are feeling you are in total HD focus, you also feel quite okay with this. You feel the universe has your back. Or rather maybe just you do. That sense of confidence is what allows you to put yourself out there in the first place.
Vesta’s in your 9th now and you also won’t take kindly to anyone trying to impose their limited thinking on you. As far as you’re concerned there are no barriers to success, travel, progress or achieving what you set out to do. The only thing that could stop you is not trying in the first place. And seeing as this is a No Fear week, Libra, that’s one trap you’re unlikely to fall into.
In a nutshell: Yes, you’re the centre of attention or in focus for all the right reasons this week, Libra. Fears or even the criticism of others won’t deter you from going after what you want. Brave, bold moves are what get you noticed – and the results you’re after.

SCORPIOKnowing what you don’t want isn’t the same as knowing what you do
Step into something bigger
Love comes date-stamped
The Sun in your 9th unleashes your optimism, desire for expansion and glow-up growth, Scorpio. Travel, studies, solutions, opportunity or simply something soul-warming is on its way. Of course, this doesn’t imply that you are exempt from doing anything. Calls to adventure need answering. And persist until we leave the blanket fort of that comfort zone.
With Jupiter now in your 7th, the Sun and Juno (23rd), in Jupiter’s ruling 9th; fated, dated Saturn and spiritual destiny Neptune in your 5th, this is a cycle under which to pursue those big loves and to ignite those dreams. But only if you dare, Scorpio.
Vesta moves into your 8th and Juno joins the Sun in your 9th (23rd.) You suddenly see that knowing what you don’t want isn’t the same as knowing what you do. Also, have you been using work, money, prestige or simply emotional distance to self-protect or substitute what you really DO want? And you’ll also see what this is all too clearly. Which sets you free to go for it. Minus the distraction.
Both your rulers fuel your edgy fearlessness on Solstice Day thanks to alignments between Pluto and Ceres and Mars and Mercury. Make this your day to be empowered, to apply, to do as opposed to simply trying, and to take that step into the bold and unexplored. Ceres back in your 12th hands you a fresh way of seeing something. And due to finding this, you may propose a solution or find a way through to gaining what you need. Don’t be afraid to suggest this if you are at a stalemate with a particular person or situation. Or strike that new deal with yourself over what it is you’ve really wanted all along.
In a nutshell: This week shows you that knowing what you don’t want isn’t the same in terms of attraction, as knowing what you do, Phoenix. Once you are clear on that difference, getting what you want is a whole lot easier. Especially when it comes to partners.

SAGITTARIUSGrow those dreams in the dark
What is under wraps you reveal later
A horse of a different colour? That’s you!
When the Sun moves into your 8th, you become the Dark Horse of the zodiac, Sag. You are usually so easy to read. Heart on your sleeve, up front and direct. But not now. Don’t be afraid to keep ‘em guessing for the next month. Don’t share what you intend to do. Instead broadcast it when it’s done and you’ve succeeded.
You could be keeping something under wraps now. Anything from that emerging relationship to that goal or business plan. Or the action you intend to take. Goal growth and attainment comes from guarding our energy. You’ll not just understand that but work the truth of it like a superpower now.
Of course, there’s the rare instance where someone actually no longer deserves to know your plans or what’s on your mind. In which case, you are right to keep things to yourself. Especially as well – misery honestly does love company. And that’s not the kind you want to be keeping, Sag. Next month offers expansion, travel and all the things that spike that heart-rate. That’s when you get to reveal what you’ve been working on behind the scenes. However, a win or tangible boost could be on offer as Ceres in your success sector trines Pluto in your 2nd (21st). If so, those results have arrived early.
Watch for a lover whose focus isn’t entirely on you. Maybe this suits you right now as you’re focussed on something intensely personal that isn’t them. But that workaholic or boo with a few outdated ideas around your roles in a relationship may not be to your taste later. You’ll see what I mean by next month if so. But what you’re working on – it’s simply okay if you’re not ready to reveal that. Or even your true intentions right now, Sag. Just keep doing what you’re doing – your way.
In a nutshell: Keep that energy close and those future plans you’re nurturing, closer this week, Sag. Something deserves your intention and focus in order to blossom. But do watch for that person whose attention isn’t entirely with you. Focus is where the heart is this week.

CAPRICORNPartnerships shine
Find that sweet spot
Love has its own timing
The most loving, balanced, giving and true hearted version of you always emerges at the Solstice when the Sun arrives in your 7th. This year the vibe is promise boosted when it comes to unions of all kinds as Juno, astral object of marriage and commitment, enters just two days later.
You’re seeking something lasting. Be this a relationship or even a solution, Capricorn. It’s not just the Sun lighting up that past, present or potential partnership. But the path ahead for you and another as Pluto now back in your 1st, trines Ceres in your 9th on the same day.
If love is what you are seeking, your best course of action is to give it all the time it needs. What’s your rush? More to the point, what’s the other party’s? This should be an eight course banquet. Not a McHurry. Next month sees Venus make a rare retrograde. In other words, don’t get all excited over nothing much at all. And wait to ensure promises are delivered before throwing that sensitive heart into the ring. Yes, you have one. But some of you hide it very well.
You have Jupiter in your 5th acting as Fat Cupid and its in there for almost a year. It’s alignment to ruler Saturn is all about love timing. You know you can’t argue with your boss planet. It will either put a ring on it or bring the person who will when the time is right. It’s all destiny. But you know that.
Vesta now in your 6th is asking you to look at love and relationships in terms of your wellbeing. Have you been making enough time for them? Adjust your priorities if not. Combined with Ceres back in your 10th, this week offers the perfect point to strike a deal between those worldly ambitions and those the heart wants to fulfil. There’s always a compromise to be made. But the deal you strike could just lead to you having it all, Capricorn.
In a nutshell: Ambitions of the heart and world feature this week, Cappy. The cosmos says both should receive equal attention. There’s no point in pursuing worldly success if you’ve nobody to share it with. Can you have it all? Yes, with the right balance.

AQUARIUSHave you heard this all before?
Work those assets
Passion, love, devotion needs to be part of the package
Someone may be handing you what sounds like legitimate excuses this week, Aquarius. But I do urge you to look beyond the obvious. Especially if this is not the first time this has happened. This could be around cancelling a date at the last minute. Yes, we know stuff happens. But if the excuses seem well – outlandish or a little tired, it may be time to stop accepting them and move on now Vesta lands in your 5th (23rd) and Ceres re-enters your 9th (22nd).
Only you can make that call. But if you feel put-out, taken for granted or simply inconvenienced, it may be time to walk your walk. This weeks beautiful alignment between Mercury in your 5th and Mars in your 7th shows you that expecting heat, devotion and passion – as well as sticking to plans, isn’t being demanding. Just showing love and respect. The key alignment between Pluto back in your 12th and Ceres in your 8th is a Truth or Consequences moment which says you see things for what they actually are – as opposed to what someone is saying.
Take a dive into your inner talent well as the Sun reaches your 6th (21st). Solstice time always asks you just what you are doing with your gifts? Hopefully using them and not underestimating them, Aquarius. No, of course not everyone is cut out to be a dotcom billionaire or brain surgeon. But you have assets, baby. And ways to work them unlike anyone else. Doing this in a meaningful way, feeling you are using your skills, is an essential part of staying well. So, appreciate those assets and if needed, channel them in a fresh direction. Juno’s dedication and devotional vibe in here from the 23rd, means you will stick with it. Don’t just talk about getting that better job where you use your talents, starting that side hustle or upskilling with some study. Go do it. You’re no longer allowed to make excuses either this week!
In a nutshell: This week sees you get your hustle on. Plus you won’t accept anything less than true devotion and heat in love. Have you heard the same old excuse once too often? If it’s tired you’re off in heat-seeking mode, Aquarius. The same goes for the ditching the dulls around that day job.

PISCESRise and time to shine!
Do you need to cut a fresh deal on who does what?
Love has that long term allure
What’s that freshly baked deal on love that needs to be signed off on, Pisces? Time to get talking on moving on it whether this involves family members, your partner, love life or home. Even though the Sun crosses from your 4th of home and security into your 5th of shining attraction on the 21st, we remain in Big Fat Mutable Weather.
Mercury in your 4th is joined by Vesta on the 23rd. Be wary of taking on too much on the home front. A family member may be extra demanding. Or you may be expected to take on a responsibility simply due to your gender identity or marital status. That’s a no-no and you know it, Pisces. How good are you are saying it?
Mutable weather means shifting parameters. The one between Jupiter in your 3rd and Saturn in your sign is working in your favour. But don’t allow yourself to be put in a position or backed into a corner where you feel guilty over saying no. You want to take full advantage of your yearly pleasure peak. Romance comes dusted with future promise as Juno joins the Sun from the 23rd. Those already dating could see things get serious.
The trine between Ceres in your 7th and Pluto in your 11th is very much about being in the right place at the right time for that meet-cute. Or as Ceres moves off into your 8th, of striking a better deal with that individual if a compromise is needed. You may not need to give an absolute refusal. But do know where there is wiggle room. And also where you need to stand firm. Yes, you can discuss moving the goal posts if you need to, Pisces. But do watch for others doing it without your say so.
In a nutshell: Don’t be guilt-tripped into agreeing to something you know is fundamentally unfair, Pisces. Besides, you’re entering your yearly pleasure peak this week. Love or doing what you love needs your participation. Free yourself to embrace that.

Your New Moon in Gemini Moonscope June 18 2023
A late-blooming new Moon appears in the mutable sign of the Twins on June 18th. Duality and divergence are something we can all now explore when it comes to our ideas. This Moon calls on us to express our truth. And to explore the truth of others with an open mind. Interestingly this New Moon has caused division between astrologers, especially when it comes to manifesting, and the truth. The New Moon is square duplicitous and shady Neptune who can encourage us to swim in illusion. We are seeing the truth even if it is challenging. I personally the Neptune square can bring added magic.
If the world had just one point of view it would be pretty vanilla. And we’d have nothing to talk about because we would know we all felt the same way. For a quicksilver-witted Gemini, that’s probably as close a definition of personal hell as you can get.
This is a new Moon where we need to broadcast ourselves, to open our hailing frequencies. And our minds and our ears. It’s not just about the talk but the listening that brings about great conversations. And better understanding between us. Before we launch into the brand new cycle of putting ideas into action, we can daydream the weekend away, daydreams help us create reality!
However, talk can be cheap when it is not backed up by action. This Moon tells us enough of the planning or telling people what we intend to do. It’s time to back up those intentions by taking action. Gemini does not stand still. Nor are they content to just be an arm chair critic or participant in someone else’s story.
This Moon also asks we all explore the real deal behind procrastination if that’s what we have been falling back on. It’s a truth bringer but not in the blunt way Sagittarius tends to serve it. It simply states the facts. The facts around why we may procrastinate – delay telling someone how we feel, overwork that great idea again and again so we end up doing nothing with it, or simply find excuses as to why this time doesn’t work for us, usually has nothing to do with us being lazy, disorganised or unmotivated. And everything to do with fear. Fear of how our truth or ideas will be received. Fear that we’ll fail at what we set out to do. Or worse – that we will succeed beyond our wildest dreams. The truth about this new Moon – it shows you fears are not facts.
ARIES
How trusting are you when it comes to your emotions, Aries? Do you rationalise them away? Or tell yourself that you honestly should not feel the way you do? Do you allow others to interpret your emotional messages for you? And instead of taking yours as a given, opt for their take instead? Maybe because you want to keep the peace or simply because the seeds of self-doubt have been sown? Consider the source if so.
Your truth is valid. Your ideas want you to stand by them. It’s one thing to offer you feedback. Another entirely to dismiss what you are saying. Is there a history between you and someone else of this happening? Time to out that if so.
Stand by what you say and now – run with it, Aries. Heart on your sleeve, mind afire with possibilities. Don’t leave anything unsaid or idea unexplored. No more sitting on that stroke of genius project or plan. Be open to discovering just what it could do. Move forward with curiosity, confidence and above all, trust in your own truth. If anyone wants to shut you down or silence you, it may be time for a little truth between you as well. Put plans in motion. Because of all the new Moons, this is the best one of the year which blesses them with completion. You have the positive spin of the cosmos enhancing whatever you say, Aries.
TAURUS
Money talks. But it don’t laugh and sing and it don’t walk. Lines from the 70’s hit Together in Blue Jeans by Neil Diamond. Symbolic, as Diamond himself was hardly ever seen wearing them. But that vibe about what money can and can’t buy you is what the new Moon in your 2nd of money serves up.
So, most of us at one time or another will indulge in the fantasy about what we would buy if we won the lottery. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning or be elected PM than snag that jackpot. Still, no matter the odds sooner or later, somebody wins and we can’t help imagining it’s us. What’s on that list, Taurus? What would you do? At this point, again, most people recite a shopping list. Prada’s entire summer collection. Big, shiny supercar. House on Nob Hill. Cocktails on the superyacht. Variations on a theme. But that’s just what you would buy. Not what you would do.
That’s the difference between money talking. And all the rest. What this new Moon wants you to feel and ultimately experience, is the laughing, singing and walking. Well, again, maybe not literally. What money enables you to do. Not the stuff. That’s extra sprinkles. Not the ice cream and certainly not the waffle cone either. This new Moon often impels us to get inventive and experiment with fresh ways to channel more of the folding stuff our way. And chances are, we’ll be banking on the way that works out – literally. But once you get the results – know what you’re going to do with it, Taurus. That’s when it starts talking happiness.
GEMINI
Hello, lover! Are you in love with your life or the anticipation of what lies ahead for you in the coming year? Because you should be!
No matter when your birthday falls, the day the Gemini new Moon appears is always the start of your new astrological cycle. In the next two weeks, expect the emergence of something fresh, a new beginning and a new you to go along with this.
Time to show how you celebrate yourself. Or the person you are now in the process of becoming. This new Moon is packed with Fab Five potential when it comes to an extreme make-over or fabulization. You can change how others see you and even how you see yourself. Look at any disconnect between the person you feel you are and what you see in the mirror. How can you bring these into alignment? And better communicate your splendour?
Seeing yourself as lovable, seeking out the best version of you and showcasing that isn’t narcissism or vanity. If you can’t love yourself, you not only can’t love someone else, but chances are others reflect that lack of self-love too. And no, you don’t need to break the bank doing it. Self-love means loving yourself too much to put yourself in debt. You are the ideas sign of the zodiac so you’ll find a way to get drop dead gorgeous on a budget. And knowing you, gain 100,000 followers when you share the process.
The past year has changed you. Celebrate that and now the new you that’s ready for the cycle that’s emerging. Yes, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Leave them speechless.
CANCER
Ahead of your new cycle, the new Moon in your 12th tells you its time to go within, unplug, detox and explore your secret self. The card of the Four of Swords is perfectly aligned to the energy of this most subtle of all new Moons. It shows a figure who has voluntarily retreated from the world. They know this is temporary and are at peace with this process. They don’t fight against it. It’s a necessary period of soul rebooting and physical/spiritual/material decluttering.
What do you need to release? Chances are your higher self is being quite clear about this, Cancer. Anything from outdated beliefs, toxic tapes and things that hold you back. Something may once have offered comfort, support, emotional sustenance. But if you are totally honest with yourself, you know its actually turned into a golden handcuff situation or is keeping you stuck.
The only way we arrive at the truth around what we need to do – and the courage to do it, is to step away from distractions and must-do’s. And instead realign with universal wisdom and healing. So, don’t be afraid to take all the time you need with this process, Cancer.
You certainly need to prioritise down-time if you feel you’re running on empty and have done for a while now. This is a house in your chart where your ruler actually feels right at home. It amplifies your intuitive, psychic skills, turns you into a dreamwalker who lucidly gathers messages from their night excursions. Keep your dream journal handy. Or start one if you haven’t yet. And write down what you remember the moment you wake up. Don’t wait until morning. In your dreams lie vital clues about what you dare to dream for yourself for the coming cycle. And what you need to let go of in order to clear the way towards it.
LEO
New Moon goals and wishes always get that extra blessing boost with the new Moon in your 11th, Leo. But it’s no use simply wishing for dreams to come true. You have to bring some kind of follow-through. You can begin with anything from a vision board to goal journal. Clip it, draw it, picture it, write it down. And get as creative as you like doing this. The more you infuse this with fun, the more you activate attraction.
This is also your most social new Moon. It’s desire for you is to share what makes you shiny and unique with others. Why deny the world your radiance? Surely you of all signs aren’t shy when it comes to that, Leo?! We all lead busy lives. And it’s easy to get so caught up in the every day business of simply living, how long it’s been since we called or caught up with a friend, can come as a shock. Or we are simply too busy to notice our social circle contracting. Until it’s shrunk to a full stop.
Call, message and reach out. Don’t let guilt trip you into doing nothing. Everyone is in the same boat so they get Life Happens. Innovate, evolve and invent under this new Moon. Any area you defibrillate or inject with some heart-starting adrenalin – be it that flagging social life or a goal, rewards. You should see it start to come alive within two weeks. But anything you leave to languish – those dreams, that love life, your connections, stays couch-bound for a very long time now. If you can visualise it, you can make it happen.
VIRGO
Do you feel like a winner, Virgo? It’s all in the mindset under the new Moon in your house of status, reputation and serious boss moves. You’ve the lean in and the can do. Double threat sign. Self-belief, walking the walk and above all, talking your talk with integrity, add up to winning moves.
This is your ‘public’ house. Where you get elevated. So, think of yourself as on show. Even that on-line presence is part of this. So, every move you make, every post you create – is an important one. In front of an audience you definitely want to impress. No pressure, Virgo.
Level up with that self-belief and those ambitions. We know you got game, Virgo. Because you put in the practice. You know there’s no short cuts.
However, this Moon isn’t just about those ambitions. So, don’t get fixated on them. What it wants for you deep down is for you to crack open any hard casing you have created around your soft heart and your vulnerabilities. It’s about becoming a successful human being to quote Derek Zoolander. Surely that’s something worth attaining? Look closely at where you have had to get self-protective due to dealing with the cold, cold hearts of others. This Moon doesn’t want anyone to succeed at the expense of their humanity and cost of love. You are lovable right NOW. You don’t have to become a dot com billionaire first to get the love you deserve. Write a new kind of success story, Virgo.
LIBRA
Emotionally a little on the down-low, Libra? Here’s the new Moon where you come bouncing back! Of all the new Moons of the year – aside from the one in your 1st, this one is the most heart-starting.
So, what will you start, Libra? Only it had better be something big, Grand gestures only please. Reach higher. A big plan, pursuit of a big love or big adventure. No small moves or careful colouring inside the lines for you. Leave that to the Virgos next door.
Stretch yourself and go for it. Apply for that position, take that trip, big up those expectations. Above all, you must set the energy in motion by taking a step towards what you want. Unless you engage with this energy, you will stay where you are. But set the wheels in motion, and watch how the universe takes this and turns your actions into a perpetual motions engine generating the people, solutions and opportunities that now magically appears on your path. You will begin to see the results between now and the full Moon in two weeks time. Do try this and see.
This is a fabulous new Moon under which to travel or plan that big trip. Again, no small plans. I’m not talking about a week in the Costa del Sol. Think in terms of that safari or Antarctic cruise. That bucket list destination you’ve always sighed over and dreamed of one-day visiting. The energy of this new Moon means that even if you can’t pack your bags right now, simply planning and researching under it, ups your chances of taking it within a realistic time frame (such as ‘24-’25). The same applies to any big dream you nurture. Bring it out from the down-low and get ready to live it, Libra.
SCORPIO
Let’s talk about a new Moon in your 8th. Deep, obsessive, focussed, sexy. Yes, all of that. Now let’s throw in even more intense aspects. The ones other astrologers leave out. Passionate. Loyal. Creative. Deep. Committed. Caring. All that too, Phoenix!
You will crave reciprocation of the same kind of feelings in a partner. This new Moon is often a litmus test for a new relationship. You get to see who the other party actually is in a relationship. And whether or not they can step up and match your feels. If they are revealed to be superficial or unable to meet you halfway, the connection is unlikely to go much further. You crave depth, understanding, alchemy. Are they capable of delivering and matching all you are so ready to give?
Too much is made of this new Moon’s link to money and shared assets. Not that it doesn’t or can’t. This is a house containing energy you are all too familiar with as your sign is the 8th house of the natural zodiac. So, shared assets and power money. Your salary, benefits, payouts, loans, investments, mortgages, taxes, insurances and that joint account or home you share with that significant other.
This Moon triggers these themes. It can open up access to the vault in other words. Where you have more at your disposal. A better paying job. A pay rise. A bonus. Someone gives you access to what they have – maybe not money but their time, connections, influence. Your application for a loan is granted. If you find yourself with more at your disposal in the next two weeks, take it you have been sent it as the universe wants to see how you manage it or deal with it. It’s a test in thinking richer and also yes, your integrity. Seeing as the latter is one of your most precious values, you got this, Scorpio!
SAGITTARIUS
You need that significant other. That partner in crime. That fellow free spirit or mischief maker. If you are lucky enough to already have them in your life, the new Moon in your 7th marks a new phase in your relationship. The best way to maximise its loved-up potential is to make a plan or a goal to jointly go for. Those who dream together, tend to stay together for the long haul.
Two hearts heading in the same direction is what you crave. This can be a bestie, an activity partner, collaborator or working dynamic. It honestly doesn’t matter. What matters is it takes two and you need to feel you are part of some kind of double act dynamic. If there is an open position in your life now, do take whatever steps you can to fill it. Whatever feels right for you. If that dating app doesn’t – then don’t go there. It’s that simple. But do turn that invisible soul sign over so it reads ‘Open for Business’. And then be equally open to the form that partner appears in.
Let those you know know you are seeking. Very often others may think we are quite happy flying solo so dismiss making introductions. The same applies to finding a goal or activity buddy. Put it out there. Tell your circle. Sure, the person may come to you another way. But it sets the energy in motion.
Above all, be ready to give all of you when someone does appear. And you may be delighted when this open-heartedness is reciprocated. Time for no-limits love, Sag. But is there any other kind for you?
CAPRICORN
Got a pitch, Cappy? Your attention to detail makes it simply irresistible. The new Moon in your sector of work and wellbeing makes this the ideal window for selling – anything from that product or service – to yourself. Get applying if a new job is on your To Do list.
You’re taking your work ethic to a new dimension in the coming month. But please, don’t ignore the self-care aspect which needs to go along with this. That attention to detail means you need to schedule in all-important down-time. Pace yourself because burn-out isn’t a good look. And its also counterproductive to all you want to achieve.
Don’t let your obsession with perfection tip into OCD or nit-picking however. Especially on the domestic front. Those you live with may not appreciate it. Your boo decides to delight you with a saucy outfit. But you have to mention they forgot to shave their legs. You keep nagging they left that dirty coffee mug on the counter top – again. Or squeezed the toothpaste from the middle of the tube. And then wonder why there’s a chilly atmosphere in the bedroom all of a sudden? Don’t go there!
Do you need help? Because this new Moon is actually one of the hardest under which to ask for it. Your drive and desire to deliver means even if you no longer got this, you are reluctant to admit it. This applies to tasks at home as well as work. Do delegate and ask for help if needed. No, that doesn’t make you any less capable, Capricorn. It actually makes you more so. Love your routines under this new Moon. But don’t fall into a rut. Especially all by yourself.
AQUARIUS
Here comes your gimme, gimme, gimme new Moon, Aquarius! Gimme what? Well, MORE of course! More of the good stuff. Romance, sparkles, joy, pleasure, attention, bliss.
Look to where you may block your own flow. All the above are valid spiritual experiences. And as an evolving soul, you need to have them. No, dismiss the idea that this is indulgence. Along with the more insidious one that life isn’t meant to be easy.
Your emotional journey for the upcoming month should be one of ease and effortless attraction. And if it isn’t – you do need to stop and look at where you need to get out of your own way, Aquarius. Or your ideas around loving and being loved. By the cosmos as well as people!
Pluto is forging you in the fires of transformation now. And this includes seeing yourself as oh-so-worthy of the good things in life. Know it or not, you are pretty inspiring now. Your emotional aura which includes loyalty, passion, creativity and unconditional giving elevates those around you.
And don’t forget – like attracts like. A new love, opportunities, a chance to be seen and applauded, sought out and included, good times and indulgences are drawn to you. This new Moon allows you to make your very best and lasting impression on people. Whether its for romance or in other areas. Don’t lurk in the shadows of lack, Aquarius. So much more awaits you in the light.
PISCES
The new Moon in your 4th (the Moon’s ruling house), super-charges your intuitive, empathic and creative abilities. Take it you are super-sensitised over the next two weeks, Pisces. These heightened secret senses make you highly attuned to the needs of others. In fact, you may know what they want before they know it themselves. ‘Are you a mind-reader?’ may be a question you get asked. Pretty much right now.
Do however ensure that you keep strong boundaries in place. Because you are so permeable and open, it may be hard to know where you end and someone else begins. You can mistake someone else’s emotional state for yours. Or be so affected by theirs, you carry it around with you for hours or even days. Yes, it could be pink bubble time. Visualising that energy surrounding you and anything you don’t need to feel simply bouncing off it. But you remaining your compassionate, listening and thoughtful self.
This is also a splendid new Moon under which to look at what you need to let go of. The opposite of being there for people is actually clinging so tight and being over-protective to the point they can’t fly solo. The most obvious example is the helicopter parent. But this can occur in any relationship dynamic and between adults. You stop being a lover and end up as mother. Or you cast your partner in that role. Perhaps you are the grown-up child who has failed to launch. Time to spread your wings if so. This Moon asks you live your life on your terms. Fully fledged and ready to soar, Pisces!
