Aries & Aries Rising

Taurus & Taurus Rising 

This week brings a sense of accomplishment. Having come through some bumpy terrain, there’s now a moment of understanding what it’s all been for, bringing a renewed confidence in your choices. 

Tune in to the energetic thumbs up that you get with each supported decision. There is an ease that accompanies you that has, up until this point, been evasive. Pay attention to the people that appear to assist you and the options that are opening up to you.

As the weekend’s Full Moon shines its light on one of your creative projects, you get to see the ways in which your efforts have ripened over the past 6 months. Your ability to be exacting, specific, nuanced, and determined with your vision is now paying off. 

The fruits of your labors are received with sweetness, and your audiences are more in need of your gifts than you may realize. 

Understand that this time can be life-changing for you: embrace the give and take, the teaching and learning, and the opportunities for skill sharing that come easily. With fewer inhibitions, you are able to exchange more with friends, community, and the collectives you are a part of. It’s a kind of renaissance moment for you and yours that you’ll most likely look back on fondly throughout the year. 

Take time to enjoy your people.

Gemini & Gemini Rising 

Right now, you are set up for behind-the-scenes wins. The sweet success of defeating inner dragons should be savored. Your recent battles with them were not imaginary, and the satisfaction you feel now can wash away any bitterness that has built up. 

Bathe in the relief.

As Venus in Pisces begins to shower blessings upon your professional life, vocational pursuits, and public roles, you will be reminded throughout this next month that your real calling is to create spaces where connection can flourish. 

Your sensitivity remains one of your most reliable attributes. As this quality is amped up, you get a glimpse into what exactly it offers the world, how to appreciate it, and how to take care of it. 

Come the end of the week, the Full Moon in Virgo offers you an equal and opposite focus: the deep roots of your inner world become more clear. Tend to the details that keep you and your brood brimming with good feelings: organize the family albums, clean your heirlooms, display those momentos. 

You are free to move forward with your big plans, thanks to Mercury (and every other planet) now being direct, but this week calls attention to the foundations that need to be securely in place before you will feel safe enough to swim afar. 

Cancer & Cancer Rising

It’s time to venture out: past your usual spots, beyond the mind-loops, quick conclusions and the places where your mind gets stuck. 

Thinking in new ways comes without effort now. It is ease, not exertion, that grants you access to the good ideas. Relaxation is an invaluable teaching tool. 

Expansive learning  happens beyond the confines of a single philosophy — the more you roam through various topics, teachings, and histories, the more you are able to form a clearer vision of where it is you are going and which philosophies will make your destination enjoyable. 

Let pleasure be your teacher. 

The Full Moon this weekend pulls focus on the daily rituals that must be done in order to keep your priorities straight and your cup overflowing. These small but mighty tools of reorientation will keep the mind on track, avoiding those highways of fear and loathing that threaten your mental and physical health. 

Suffering does not have to be your destiny.

Doing one pleasurable little thing each day is enough to give you a boost and change your trajectory. With this Full Moon, look back on what that has been for you over the past 6 months. If it needs to be refined, now is the time. 

Now that Mercury (and every other planet) is direct, you are free to move forward with the collaborations that are a good fit and restructure the ones that are not. 

Remember, you don’t have to remain in exchanges that don’t have the maturity or depth to meet you halfway. 

Leo & Leo Rising

Venus in Pisces brings blessings to you through your collaborations. As you come to understand and embrace the power of your contributions and the impact you have on others, you are better able to share the best of what you’ve got. How you show up for the exchanges in your life will influence how abundant they become. Your talents might need moments of rest, but they will never run dry. 

The Full Moon this weekend pulls focus on your contributions with others. The overflow that fills your cup may come from others, but the work that you’ve done to excavate, organize and best utilize your talents is something that is all yours. Give yourself a much deserved pat on the back.

There are things that come easily to you: being critical of your work, being driven towards achievement, bringing forth your best version, and wanting to constantly refine your craft. Now is the time to also appreciate your labor and what it’s brought about.  

Now that Mercury (and every other planet) is direct, you are free to move forward with partnership plans and pursuits. You might find that the communication issues that were plaguing your unions now work themselves out, or that the recent trips you’ve taken with significant partners have helped to deepen your connection. Either way, take what’s worked for you, and leave the rest.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Few things are as sweet as seeing our partners succeed. As Venus in Pisces brings blessings to your loved ones and committed partnerships, your unions also become a place of great benefit for you. 

More than a trickle down effect, you are in direct line to receive the overflow. 

In preparation, be on the lookout for the habits and beliefs that might have you blocking such bounty. The myth that you need to do everything yourself needs to be interrupted. The notion that no one can do the job as well as you can is not your friend. Systems that set you up as the sole source or authority will always end in depletion. 

You aren’t meant to do life on your own: let your loves, partners, and collaborators support you. 

As this weekend’s Full Moon in Virgo shines its light upon you, it celebrates all that’s working well in your world. Take note of the changes, innovations, and updates that you’ve made to your operating systems. This Moon will help you to heal the critical parts of you that think you aren’t made perfectly and precisely right for your life. You are exactly as you need to be.

Let this Moon reorient you towards a deep appreciation of what is, rather than focusing on what isn’t.  

Libra & Libra Rising

Right now, it’s all about relaxing into your success at work and in regards to your daily duties. Over the next 4 weeks, Venus, the planet of many pleasures, wants to make things a little easier for you. What’s usually laborious is now an easier lift. 

Venus’s spoonful of sugar helps this weekend’s Full Moon medicine go down. 

Calling you to take a moment for yourself, this Full Moon is prescribing deeply restorative down time and an escape to the places and spaces where you can let go and give way to an energy greater than yourself.

Rom-coms and reality TV included. 

Whatever helps you recharge should be prioritized. Whatever helps you clean out the closets of your psyche should be exercised. Whatever helps you organize your inner filing cabinets should be maximized. 

Now that Mercury (and every other planet) is direct, you are free to go forward with a creative pursuit or pastime. What was giving you writers block or the blahs is now packing up its bags. 

Get back to the gameboards of your creative life, and plan your next move.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Pure pleasure is your next pursuit. As Venus saunters through Pisces over the next four weeks, it reminds you of the power of relaxing into life’s delights. 

And like all goddesses, this one wants to be welcomed with some fanfair.

To prepare, make a point of praising all manifestations of beauty in your life: go out of your way to give a compliment, flirt with nature, adorn yourself, adore your life, and soak up all the pleasantries that pursue you. 

Love is always in need of more love.   

This weekend’s Full Moon also celebrates the connections in your life. This moment highlights your group projects and collective efforts, and feels like a celebration of all that you have been a part of and helped to make happen. Take note of the people on your team who both know how to party and take part in the work that needs doing in equal measure. It’s easy to criticize a movement and a moment, but notice who around you can hold a vision for the future with such clarity and softness that everyone else around them is inspired to join in? 

If you don’t know anyone with this set of skills, perhaps it’s time you move into such a role.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Venus in Pisces brings blessings into your abode. A cure for loneliness, Venus reminds you to connect with the parts of your past, lineage, or traditions that help you feel rooted. 

Venus also wants you to spruce things up. 

Deck your halls with declarations of love, line your drawers with sweet nothings, and make it a point to fluff your cushions just to make yourself feel more at home.  

Make relaxation a top priority. You’ll need it. 

This weekend’s Full Moon highlights your vocational dreams, your professional goals, and your public personas. It amplifies your messages and garners you attention for your contributions. 

Whatever it is that you’ve been working on in your industry or field over the past 6 months is pronounced now. How you’ve managed to push the conversation, drive away disruptive messages, and pursue the much needed truth, is now paying off. 

With Mercury (and every other planet) now direct, you are free to move forward. Now is the time to set up those strategy meetings, plan for the future, and feel out the best path forward. Both this week and next, your ideas, innovations, and futuristic visions for the world, will land with a tremendous impact. 

This is your moment to shine. Move into the spotlight. 

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

More attuned to your surroundings than usual, the daily rituals that you make a point of participating in are more than likely to foster deep feelings of connection. As Venus in Pisces brings blessings to your conversations with close company, siblings, close friends and folks that you consider family, they will appear at just the right time with the soundest advice. 

Heed it. 

This weekend’s Full Moon sheds light on far off destinations, goals, and guides that help you find your way. 

The fact that you are where you are, and that you’ve come this far, is no mistake. This week wants you to take a moment to appreciate the landscape that you’ve traveled through. It has not been without extensive effort and other people holding you through the wildest ups and downs. Offer thanks to your road dogs, traveling angels, and friends that stay with you no matter how far afield you go. 

Now that Mercury (and every other planet for that matter) is direct, you are free to move forward with financial decisions, material matters, and everything to do with your livelihood that has previously been hard to wrangle. By the end of the week, much has smoothed out, or at least is now within your power to change.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Now that Mercury is direct, you are free to move forward with all matters big and small—just take the time to do so thoughtfully. As the planet of communication, commerce, and travel moves slowly for most of the week, so too should you. It may be moving in a forward motion, but it’s far from fast. 

Good news, however, comes through a family member and/or about a financial matter. Both areas of your life get a boost, helping you to feel more grounded and taken care of.

As the next four weeks unfold, you will get a glimpse into the ways in which your talents want to be worked with next. A sweet discovery reminds you how skilled you are and how to not take such blessings for granted. You may find that your pockets are lined with a few extra coins, you’re granted some sweet exchanges on the job, or you are offered some inspiration on what to invest in next. This moment wants to remind you about the abundance that flows to you when you place interconnectedness first.   

This weekend’s Full Moon emphasizes that agenda by remarking on the successes of your collaborative efforts. What you’ve been working on in partnership over the past 6 months gets promoted, spotlit, and uplifted. It’s success is due, in part, to your ability to tend to the details of your exchanges, as well as your willingness to move through fear in order to ask for and receive the things you want.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

One of the sweetest places for Venus to travel through is Pisces. Over the next four weeks, the planet of love and pleasure will swim through the most personal part of your chart, bringing you the blessing of connection. In whatever form it comes: friends filling up your inbox, admirers sliding into your dms, or coworkers bringing you a downpour of devotion, the point is that you are ready to let the love in. 

These kinds of transits don’t come around everyday, and this one won’t be here for long. Invest in understanding your love languages and then speak them to yourself. What other people bring to the table is a bonus; the real nourishment is what you are able to consistently prepare for yourself. 

This weekend’s Full Moon does pull focus on your partnerships, what you’ve been able to bring forth with them and through them, as well as how much you’ve healed in this area of life. 

When you’re able to gaze with fondness upon your significant others (professional, romantic, or platonic), it helps them bring their best forward. This positive feedback loop is one possible manifestation of this moment, and if that seems impossible to do, consider the depth these unions have. Not all relationships are meant to last.
