Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse Miniscopes
Sagittarius Full
Moon Eclipse Miniscopes
Personal Expansion.
The Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius falls at 5º on May 26th at 7:13 AM EST. The Sun shines on the Moon, reminding us that release and growth go hand in hand. We reflect the dichotomy of our own natures with a Full Moon: the internal & external – intimate & exposed. This lunation, in particular, is an eclipse, illuminating uncertainties in our lives and forcing us into a place of change. The fact that it falls in Sagittarius should not go unnoticed, as expansion results from what is to come. When faced with adversity or limitation, Sagittarius pushes beyond all barriers to reach the highest point it can – and even then, it keeps going. Eclipses show us the truth, and Sagittarius lives solely by that. When we see things for what they are, there is no mistaking. However, as the dust is swirling around us from this influx of energy, we must step back and see the big picture. What is really happening here? How does this relate to my life overall? In a Full Moon Eclipse, someone or something may be eclipsed out of our lives.
Jupiter, the benevolent, is the leader of this Full Moon. Wherever it touches, we see potential and growth – removing all obstacles that may stand in our way. Jupiter is in Pisces, its traditional home, taking the idea of expansion from this planet and having it reach limitless potential. We see that structures become flexible, even penetrable, and through osmosis – we move from one space to another. Jupiter widely squares the Sun and Moon, so we may not be ready to take those leaps of faith for our own sense of growth because we mistrust our own intuition. We are caught between the details and the big picture, unsure where to look and how far to go. You should seek to see the forest through the trees for this Full Moon and keep that more extensive view.
Mercury and Venus connect, linking arms and heading into this Full Moon together. Our minds and our hearts are aligned (and should be). Although the eclipse will create uncertainty, and likely bring about swift change, we know it is for the best. Mercury is not yet retrograde, but it is in shadow. Whatever happens around this eclipse won’t be resolved immediately. We will be working through it all during the entirety of the Mercury Retrograde that starts just a few days later. The North Node’s relationship with Chiron is a good indicator that healing will help us more than we know. That purpose and potential lie in our ability to let go. It is from the Full Moon’s release that we are truly set free.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 1º to 9º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
This Full Moon shines a light on your need to grow and expand. It is an eclipse, so the energy can feel a bit jolting or rattling. With eclipses, we have little say in the matter. In terms of a Full Moon eclipse, it may “eclipse” something out of your life. With this falling in your 9th House, you will find that your idea of the future or your goals may change. If you had plans for something, you must be flexible. Some of you may start or end an educational pursuit or simply have to come to terms with the fact that it is time to move on from something in your life that is holding you back. The 9th House is all about reaching beyond the horizon. Jupiter leads this Full Moon, meaning we have to watch its interactions. Jupiter will widely square the Sun and Moon, but it won’t be so close that it feels harsh. Jupiter asks us to extend and grow. With it now sitting in your 12th House, you will find that your intuition will be on fire and that part of your growth will require significant endings. A part of you will need to get in touch with the more abstract and unseen things in life. With transits to your 9th and 12th Houses, these are marks of knowing when it’s time to trust yourself and take a leap of faith. Both Houses have connections to something higher, and this eclipse will bring that into focus for you. Where can you learn to open yourself up and how can that lead you to something greater? Mercury and Venus will connect at this lunation, working in your 3rd House. It seems that you have much on your mind, and it could revolve around a project, sibling or your local community in general. Whatever it is, take time to sort through it all. New information will be presented to you, so try not to overreact. If you need to sign a contract at all, Venus will be helpful. Just know that changes will be likely as Mercury will turn retrograde just three days later. In fact, anything that does pop up at this eclipse will not be resolved right away. Just know that clarity will come. After the dust settles, everything will be clear as day.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Now is a time to reflect and focus on ways to bring an end to a major cycle in your life. This can feel a bit like a breakthrough moment. The eclipses have been highlighting you resources vs others, as well as, your self-reliance vs the intimate connections you have since last year. You are now at a place where you may be ending something entirely. This particular eclipse falls in your 8th House, so part of the focus will deal with healing, deep self-understanding and confronting your own fears and shadows. If you have been putting something off, it will come at you full force. Since the 8th House is involve, something will need to be let go – a metaphorical death that leads to a transformation. Jupiter is the leader of this Full Moon, where it has recently moved into your 11th House. Jupiter will be widely squaring the Sun and Moon. So, it seems that there may be an eye on your connections or friendships. Some of you may have had someone who has been taking advantage of you. This lunation will illuminate this and ask you to find ways to remove them from your life. You may be seeking to change the people you surround yourself with. Jupiter will bring the right people in as you make room. With transits to your 8th and 11th, now is a time for change and healing to bring about a future that supports your dreams. Mercury and your ruler, Venus, will be closely conjoined a this Full Moon. Both are sitting in your 2nd House. You are combing through your worth, your assets and your sense of ownership. Watch how you spend your money, you may regret a bigger purchase. You may also be looking to clean out your material possessions. The retrograde is just a few days away from this Full Moon, so you can spend that time thinking about how you can change the ways in which you earn income or simply how to place yourself and needs before others. You know it is a time to rely more on yourself than ever before. Just don’t make any rash decisions until after June 22nd.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Happy Season! There is a lost happening in Gemini Season this year: Saturn retrograde, Mercury retrograde and the eclipses! We are now staring at the eclipse that falls in your 7th House. Your attention will be on others and the roles that they play in your life and yours in theirs. This lunation will shine a light on those that are not worth your time or energy. If someone has to be removed, they will likely be “eclipsed” out of your life. When we experience an eclipse, it is best to not rush or put pressure on yourself. Everything is going to unfold regardless of your actions. You may be looking to those close to you for advice right now. Gather information, but don’t act in haste. You may no end a personal relationship, but maybe a contractual one (employer, client, etc). You’re seeking more freedom. This makes sense, as Jupiter is the ruler of this Full Moon eclipse. Jupiter is in your 10th House, newly expanding your perspective on your career and work. You may be looking at your path in life a little differently now. You know you want to make a change, especially if your work is unfulfilling. Jupiter squares the Sun and Moon creating a minor challenge between your partner and your work life. Maybe there is uncertainty about their job, or your lack of knowing about yours makes them uneasy. This is temporary, as you know that clarity is coming. Mercury, your ruler, and Venus are linking arms at this Full Moon. Both are in your 1st House of self. You know that there are personal decisions that need to be made, and you are valuing yourself first for once! You may be itching to make a change to your appearance or simply just go after what inspires you. Mercury will retrograde soon, so what engages your attention now may likely change over the next few weeks. Take time to think things through before leaping. The New Moon eclipse on June 10th in your sign will open doors of opportunity for you, but it may not be in the ways you expect.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Life comes back into focus as you shift your attention to work and your everyday. This Eclipse will highlight your 6th House, where your days seem to be temporarily extra busy! This has been a push and pull for you, as you also feel this need to withdraw a bit. There may be something health related that comes up or maybe an understanding that you need to change your routines a bit. Nutrition, diet and exercise are a part of this, as well. If you work for yourself, you may find that client work or freelance work is more chaotic than normal. You are trying to manage your expectations and theirs! Because this is a Full Moon eclipse, you may be ending something. Maybe putting to rest a health issue or even leaving a job. But it doesn’t seem that you’re leaving without something coming up. Jupiter is the leader of this lunation, and it is in your 9th House. There is a need to expand and grow under this influence, and you are feeling a bit bored. That is the inspiration for the change. You know that you have goals you want to achieve, and this Full Moon will have you ready to embrace them more. This is about integrating the future into your present reality. Jupiter does square the Moon, so you may not feel that you can fully do what you want. There are still obligations, maybe even physical limitations. Honestly, it is best to wait a bit before making a decision. Eclipses will push you in a direction, with or without your help. Mercury and Venus are in your 12th House, so your mind may be seeking some quiet time. You know that something is coming to a close and that you have some work to do before you can start your new cycle. This idea of tying up loose ends will be prolonged, especially as Mercury will retrograde in this area of your chart. You may be dealing with something ongoing through July. Don’t get frustrated. The eclipse on June 10th will clarify what feels nebulous. Take time to tend to your physical and emotional needs right now. Get back to the basics.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
What leaves you feeling inspired lately? This Full Moon is on that highlights your need to create, make and play! This is not an energy that you are stranger to! You are a natural in these areas. Eclipse season comes in placing emphasis on your talents and how that relates to the big picture and those around you. This lunation in particular falls in your 5th House, however. So the energy will be much more personal. You may be finishing up a project or leaving behind something that doesn’t make you happy anymore. More than ever, you sense of joy and well-being are top of mind. You shine so brightly, and you know that you need a space where you can just create. If you feel that life has been too drab, it is time to make a change. Because the 5th House isn’t just about creativity, you may also have your attention on children, conception or even romance! You may be ending a romance or have something come up with your kids (if you have any). Alternatively, if you are looking to conceive (or not), this Full Moon may bring you a surprise! Full Moon eclipses remove something from our lives. So, whatever stands in the way of your happiness must go. Jupiter leads this Full Moon, and it recently has moved into your 8th House. It seems you are coming to terms with some of your own shadows. Jupiter is bringing with it expansion and growth, but in the 8th House it is by confronting your fears. We release comfort for transformation. You may also find that Jupiter can help you with your debts in the 8th House – financial, karmic, spiritual, etc. Just be careful of not accumulating too much debt, as Jupiter does move without limitation. Know your boundaries. With transits to your 5th and 8th Houses, you are getting rid of the parts and pieces to make room for more play in your life. Mercury and Venus will be in your 11th House at this Full Moon, working closely together. It seems that you have support from those around you, and your mind is on your community, network and future. You know that part of how you attain what you dream of is through your efforts to manifest your own reality. Ask for help where it is appropriate. Mercury will retrograde in this area of your chart. Dreams that were on the back burner come up and now seem to be moving toward a boil rather than a simmer. Old friends may come back into your life, and this time there are here to push you along.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Your home life seems to be very active right now, more than you would probably like for it to be. You may be undergoing renovations, changes or moving somewhere! Alternatively, it could be that there is a lot going on around family. This Full Moon is in your 4th House, and it is an eclipse. You have made major foundational changes (or plan to), and now you are doing the housekeeping to make sure that you feel emotionally ready for said changes. You may be saying good bye to something, something that you have fond memories of but in pursuit of no longer living solely in comfort. Taking risks can be hard for you, but you know it’s time to no longer live in the past. If you that something needs to be different, but you are unsure of what, the eclipse will bring you more clarity than you anticipated. Watch interactions with your family now. They may be a bit more touchy than normal. Jupiter leads this Full Moon, and it recently entered your 7th House. This is an auspicious transit for contracts, partnerships, relationships and business. However, at this eclipse, it will square the Sun and Moon. There could be conflict with a partner and your family or simply you are aware that there is a relationship you need to expand from or gain freedom from. However, Jupiter will bring a gift. So, if someone or something leaves your life, there will be room for opportunities. Mercury, your ruler, and Venus are in your 10th House. Both will be working together to build a new phase or project in your career. Venus will ensure that money will follow. Mercury will be retrograde shortly after this eclipse though, so you may be reworking or refining. Don’t get trapped in whether or not you made a good decision. The eclipse on June 10th will bring you new career prospects and choices in your life. So for now, continue to plan and work. Whatever comes at the New Moon eclipse in June will be just what you need – perhaps old opportunities can come back around, too! Stay tuned!
Libra & Libra Rising
Decisions aren’t always your friend, and I know that as a natal Moon in Libra. This eclipse may have you caught in the need to come with an answer that you do not have yet. That’s ok. Everything is going to be swirling anyway, and nothing will be clear for a few weeks. This eclipse falls in your 3rd House, so you may have a jolt of ideas or a need to talk or communicate but can find it difficult to put words to what you want to say. There may be something that comes up with someone in your inner circle, a sibling or in your local community, and you will want to rush to help or inadvertently get involved. When we look at this eclipse, it may also take someone or something out of your life. If there have been issues with your sibling or someone in your immediate environment, you may decide to just take a step back. Again, this goes back to decisions. You know that something needs to be done, but you don’t know how to best handle the situation yet. Try not to overthink! This Full Moon may make your mind feel a bit more hectic, so you won’t have the clarity you need. Jupiter is the leader of this Full Moon, where it has newly entered your 6th House. There will be a fresh focus on your routines, work and health. Maybe you have been meaning to get back in to a certain regimen. Jupiter will aid you. It will square the Sun and Moon at this lunation, so you may still not have the full picture on what is going on with you health/work wise. This may be part of what plagues your mind with overthinking. If you are having tests done or going through a review period at work, wait until after June 22nd, you should have all your answers by then. The transits to your 3rd and 6th House will be primarily to bring more flexibility into your life. Learn, adapt and integrate. Mercury and Venus, your ruler, will be in your 9th House. So, you could be itching for growth and change. Mercury’s retrograde period, that begins a few days after this eclipse, will have you re-evaluate your goals. June 10th will bring you opportunity though – more decisions, but don’t fret. It will seem that you are actually re-visiting something you have been meaning to. Just sit tight for the next few weeks and let everything come out in the wash.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
With this eclipse falling in your 2nd House, there will be an attention on resources. This isn’t always financial, but it can be. This eclipse is a Full Moon, and we are being shown areas that need improvement or change in our lives. This is happening in the arena of self-worth and the way that you earn money. Perhaps funds are not as high as they have been or you feel that your talents aren’t being used how they should be used. You are seeing how hard you work in comparison to others, and you may need to re-evaluate how you spend your time and resources. If you need to make any sort of change, this eclipse will show you where and how. However, it may not be a time to act. Eclipses do their thing, even without our help. It is best to let things unfold. Jupiter will lead this Full Moon, sitting in your 5th House. There is emphasis on your natural creativity. Jupiter is bring your inspiration and expanding the ways in which you can create more happiness in your life. However, you feel that this is limited by your earning potential or by your job. This is due to Jupiters wide square to the Sun and Moon. The transits to your 2nd and 5th Houses will make you take more stock in your own happiness and learn to put your needs first. Mercury and Venus are in your 8th House, so it seems that healing will need to be done. Your mind is already here. It seems that you can make major strides in your intimate connections with others and how you build trust with those around you. You are selective, so that is helpful. Mercury will retrograde in this area of your chart. So, there may be old debts that come up or unhealed wounds that resurface. This is your chance to finally put this all to rest. The past doesn’t own you anymore. You are self-reliant. You are strong. This is just the beginning. You are headed into a refresh.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Here we are on the threshold of major change in your life, or even just your year. Since the eclipses started in Gemini and Sagittarius last year, you have been on what feels like an unending path of transformation. You and your relationships have been highlighted, and you know that you may have lost some people you deemed significant. This has not been easy, necessarily. However, from it you’ve grown immensely. This Full Moon eclipse is another chance to shed before you open the door to see what is on the other side. It falls in your 1st House. You may be releasing parts of your own personality or identity that you don’t align with anymore. That is ok. It is a part of evolving. You are going to be in the full spotlight, whether you want it or not. You may come to a major realization or may just feel pressure in general. The thing is, this is temporary. As the eclipse energy will start to settle, you will have much more clarity. First, everything needs to kicked up to know where the weaknesses lie. Jupiter is the leader of this Full Moon, happily hanging out in your 4th House. It seems like you may have a turn of luck when it comes to home related matters. Jupiter will be here for a few months. However, at this Full Moon it will square the Sun and Moon. So, there can be conflict between you and family. Maybe you are overextending yourself and spreading yourself too thin for them. You have to be realistic. Watch for denying your own emotional nature, as well, under this influence. If you want to move, make sure you are very clear in what you want out of a space. With transits to your 1st and 4th Houses, there will be emphasis on your roots and how that relates to the person you are. Mercury will link up with Venus in your 7th House during this eclipse. You may be thinking about a partnership or reviewing contract or close relationship. Venus will bring you and your partner closer together. However, with Mercury turning retrograde here over the next few weeks, you may find yourself going back through past issues and settling anything that doesn’t feel resolved. What you have to remember is that your personal freedom and your desires are as important as others. Take care to make space for yourself this eclipse. Shed old skin to make room for what’s to come.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
After the eclipses from 2018-2020 highlight your sign, you have been through a lot. Couple that with Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto all transiting Capricorn last year, there was a lot that you had to come to terms with. Now, under this eclipse in Sagittarius, you more focused on endings and finishing things up. You have done the bulk of the work, now it is the small pieces that you are trying to fit together so you can move on. Part of this lunation will be about completion for you. With every completion, there is a new beginning. You are putting to rest a major cycle and part of that will highlight the need to go within. Seek quiet time when you can. Because eclipses can eclipse things out of your life, there will be little control over what endings may occur. This is like a cosmic broom, sweeping away what no longer serves you. Jupiter will lead this Full Moon. It has recently moved into your 3rd House, where it is expanding and growing your ability to use and find your voice. Your mind may be more active than normal, and you could be hungry to learn or express your ideas. Jupiter will widely square the Sun and Moon, so you may have a hard time putting words to your feelings and thoughts. You may be plagued with overthinking or maybe distrusting your own intuition. With transits to your 12th and 3rd Houses, it is wise to listen to your gut and go with what feels right. That will bring you the mental clarity you seek. Mercury and Venus are transiting your 6th House now. So, work or routine could be top of mind. Venus may bring in new work for you. However, Mercury will retrograde here, so you may be rethinking what kind of work you want to do. You could reach out to past employers or colleagues to see if they can help you find what you’re looking for. Alternatively, health could be a focus. You may want to re-examine your habits and find what can work for you to build a healthier lifestyle. June 10th will bring about more opportunity in this area of your life.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Who you know and who you connect with will be important now. You may be thinking about friendships, goals, future ideas or your network. This Full Moon illuminates your 11th House. If you have a dream, how can you achieve it? Where can you ask for support? This lunation is an eclipse, so you may feel a bit untethered. A friend may show their true colors that you had not expected or perhaps there is something that you know you need to let go of in order to pursue your dreams. Connecting with others can help you see things more clearly, even though you are afraid to ask for help. Really, what you want is to bring things together, but it is hard for you to see the big picture through the details. So, you doubt yourself. Jupiter will be the leader of this Full Moon, where it has left your sign temporarily and moved into your 2nd House. Jupiter can help you find ways to increase your income but also take ownership of your self-worth. The way to see the big picture is to be more self-reliant and self-motivated. You are talented. Why are holding back? Jupiter will widely square the Sun and Moon, so you may feel indebted to someone. Alternatively, you could possibly realize that you no longer align with the values of those in your life. Will your ideas of the future cost you? Or will they bring you more opportunity? With transits to your 11th and 2nd Houses, you can focus on how to monetize your visions and ask for help along the way. Sometimes, we are stronger together. Mercury and Venus will link up in your 5th House during this Full Moon. You could have your mind on creative projects, or even children. Mercury will make sure that you are reviewing what makes you happy and how to use that creativity you have to your advantage. However, with the retrograde period, you are still unsure of where to go. Give it time. If you are thinking of having kids, don’t rush. 5th House areas will come into full focus on June 10th during the New Moon eclipse. Doors will open for you. You may be able to reconnect with people who inspire you to pursue your passions.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
You have been making leaps and changes in how you view your life direction since last year. The eclipse series of Gemini and Sagittarius has been moving back and forth between your 4th and 10th Houses. How do your foundations and roots relate to your work and ambitions? This Full Moon will be illuminating your 10th House. It will highlight your need to let go of something in your work or career that isn’t working for you. Some of you may eclipse out a job, while others may have important figures leave your life. They have already served their purpose. Now, it will be your chance to make the changes you know you need to. You could elevate your status or choose to work for yourself. If you want to find a new job, use this eclipse but know that we have little say in the outcome. Whatever it is, your career will be top of mind. Don’t get caught up in the whirling energy. Let the storm pass before you take a leap. Jupiter, your traditional ruler, will be the leader of the lunation. It is currently transiting your sign and sitting in your 1st House. This transit can feel like the Midas touch. It is a preview of what will come next year for you. Jupiter is trying to help you expand and grow your perspective on yourself and see that success is yours when you align passion and motivation. Jupiter will be widely square the Sun and Moon around this eclipse. So, you may be conflicted between pursuing what’s right for you and what is right for society or deemed acceptable. Pisces energy is always meant to go its own way. With transits to your 10th and 1st Houses, you are best served when you bring yourself into the public eye and inject your personality into your work. You can’t hide anymore. You just need to embrace who you are and where you want to go. Mercury and Venus will be linking arms in your 4th House. This could bring your mind toward home and family. You feel partially like you want to withdraw a bit. Mercury will retrograde in this area of your chart. So, you may be trying to reconnect with family, roots or your emotional nature. You could be putting a family issue to rest or maybe finishing up projects around the house. This will be a lingering thing through July. So, if you feel unsettled, give it time.

Taurus New Moon Miniscopes
Taurus New
Moon Miniscopes
Cultivating Abundance.
The New Moon in Taurus falls at 21º on May 11th at 2:59 PM EST. As we prepare for the end of Taurus Season, we are gifted with a New Moon that can cleanse and nurture the wounds we faced at the Full Moon in Scorpio. Our Garden of Eden is restored, and we find the snake did not damn us. Instead, it opened the door to see reality, no matter how harsh. This New Moon comes linking arms with Lilith and touching on Neptune and reaching out to Pluto. This time, we are no longer limited by fear. Instead, we see that we can expand and push beyond the restrictions that were originally placed upon us. Where we walk, flowers bloom. Our roots are solid, and now we reach for the highest heavens.
The Moon is exalted in Taurus, working at its best. Emotionally, we are grounded yet receptive – nourishing the Earth like a river flowing through the valley. Where the water touches, all is refreshed, restored, and renewed. Venus is the leader of this lunation, wandering through Gemini, yet feeling rather neutral, leaving room for flexibility. Mars and Uranus speak to one another, bringing the action to our intentions and surprising us with how quickly our trees bear fruit for us to eat. Our hard work is paying off, and perhaps, we can rest our heads in the grass and feel the warm Sun on our faces.
Saturn is stabilizing us, this time with no restraint, as it works with Mercury in mutable Gemini. This meeting of planets will leave us with no shortage of ideas, riffing off of the Mars/Uranus harmony – a stark contrast to the experience we had with the recent Full Moon. Life feels more in flow, leading us to listen to the breeze through the trees and taste the sweetness in the Spring air once more. No New Moon will harbor pure manifestation better than this one. Seek pleasure and joy, and from this, abundance will follow.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 17º to 25º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
Note: Venus is the ruler of this New Moon. It will be in Gemini, reminding us to be flexible with our perspectives! Value comes from learning and understanding, not rigidity.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
We are entering a pivotal time, this is the last New Moon before the eclipse season starts and Mercury turns retrograde. So, turn your attention to planting what you can, if you can. This New Moon is in your 2nd House, so focus can be turned toward resources for you. Are you being valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion or a change to you financial picture. Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, so it is working at its best! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. The Sun and Moon work well with Neptune and Pluto, giving you the chance to see through the dark. Whatever came up at the Full Moon on April 26th is in the past now. Time to move forward more confidently. Pluto is in your 10th House, so career efforts are being applauded right now. Venus is the leader of this New Moon, sitting in your 3rd House. You have to be your own advocate with this positioning. If you have something to say, the words won’t escape you, especially with Mercury in this house, as well! Mercury will actually be helpful, working with Saturn to stabilize your ideas and make any contract you sign long-lasting. Mercury/Saturn aspects are about longevity and bringing structure to our thoughts! So, don’t hold back now. Build out a plan and stick to it! With Saturn in your 11th House, friends seem to be at your aid! They will be the grounding support you need, especially in the continued building of your self-confidence with this New Moon’s emphasis on your 2nd House. Mars, your ruler, is still slowly moving through Cancer, but it will receive a jolt of energy from Uranus! This sextile will bring swift action for you! Always expect the unexpected with Uranus aspects! Use this New Moon to make moves in your income, sense of self-worth and build a stronger sense of value in yourself and what you believe.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Happy New Moon, Taurus! This one can be golden for you! It falls in your sign, and the Moon LOVES being in your sign. It stabilizes the fluctuating energy of the Moon and taps into its nourishing abilities. Right now, what you should be looking to nourish is yourself. This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? You have been dealing with squares all year long from Saturn and Uranus in your sign, so you may have been shedding old skin in order to release what isn’t working for you. This New Moon will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building up new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now.

Scorpio Full Moon Miniscopes
Scorpio Full
Moon Miniscopes
Deep Transformations.
Taurus Season is known for its fresh, lush landscape, perfect for creating a foundation for growth and abundance. However, below the earth lies a slow-burning fire at the core that can’t be ignored. This is the Scorpio Full Moon. There is a connection between Taurus and Scorpio that is often overlooked; they are polarities. Where Taurus can be fixated and stable, Scorpio brings in a sense of change and clears out the old to make way for the new. We can’t have one without the other, for release sets the stage for what’s to come.
This Full Moon in particular is one that brings sweeping transformations, whether or not you are ready. Here, the focus lies in our understandings of security, intimacy, sexuality, and emotional reciprocity. Uranus will be in a hard angle to this Full Moon, pushing us to seek liberation and change from the inside out. It will be coaxing the Scorpion from its lair and forcing up its defenses. Even with the unruly energy from Uranus and the Moon (which is in its Fall), there is a stellium in Taurus that is working to keep us grounded. The Sun, Uranus, Venus, Mercury, and Lilith are all congregating to supply us with solid footing as we feel we are being flipped around.
However, be careful of getting too restrictive as Saturn comes in to square this stellium, making our foundations feel weaker than we had originally anticipated. Luckily, Mars, the leader of this Full Moon, will be supportive. It will be in nurturing Cancer. Although this is a depressed placement for Mars, it can remind us that our energy lies in our ability to live confidently in our vulnerabilities. This message is reinforced with the Scorpion need to expose our fears and break down the phobias that keep us from fully unearthing our potential.
This Full Moon will make us dig in our gardens, even if fresh flowers are blooming – because we know that the further we go, the more room the roots have to grow.
Transformation occurs when we embrace the power within and take control of every facet of our being – no matter how shadowed, how deep, or how misunderstood. Let go, to grow. Release to Rise. The Phoenix has been awakened.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 3º to 11º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
Note: Mars will be considered the ruler of this Full Moon. It is in its Fall, or the lowest position. So, motivations may not be as forthright or we make lack initiative. We must feel nourished by an experience and safe before we can take a leap.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Aries we enter this Full Moon focused on all that lie beneath the surface. Because Scorpio impacts your 8th House, you will be turning your attention to the very energies in which it embodies: personal intimacy, cultivating deep relationships, shared resources and even your own healing. This Full Moon can signal a time to embrace and confront the shadows in ourselves, while releasing and shedding years of uncertainty and pent up pain into the ether. Some of you may be uncovering your own hidden potential and building extremely powerful bonds with those within your inner circle. Mars (your ruler) and Pluto both lead this Full Moon. Mars works with the Sun and Moon, signaling that action is needed into order to move forward. However, we must note that Mars is in Cancer, its Fall, so the action is internalized. You withdraw within yourself to build a home and sanctuary where you can be your most vulnerable self. Mars bridges the gaps between your own values and the values of others. From the push and pull, you find solace in your own internal world. Mercury from your 2nd House will be embracing Lilith and Venus, so your worthiness lies in all that you find pleasure in – even if it seems taboo or unappreciated by others. Mercury and Venus here can signal changes to your income or even finding ways to bring more abundance into your life. However, with the Full Moon in your 8th House, you must balance what is yours and what needs to be shared. Just because we can take, don’t mean it’s entirely meant for us. Your gifts and abilities can benefit others, and through your own healing, you can inspire and guide others to do the same. With Saturn squaring the stellium in Taurus, you may feel limited or restricted by a community or group of people that are not seeing you for whom you are. This is a time to stand your ground. They do not see every facet of your reality, and frankly, it isn’t for them to. Decide where to best focus your energy and eliminate that power struggle from taking hold of you any longer.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
We enter a Full Moon that turns its attention toward your relationships and the others in your life. The word “harmony” comes to mind – very Venusian (an energy you know well). However, with this Full Moon in Scorpio, the energy is anything but harmonious. Smoothing things over and being light and airy isn’t an option right now. Scorpio digs and unearths truth, fears and phobias. This may manifest in your one-on-one relationships with others. Are you worried that someone isn’t being forthright? You are encouraged to have those difficult conversations. Alternatively, some of you may decide to take that plunge and commit further and more intimately with someone in your life. You feel intensely for them and want to create a space where you both can come together in a more real way. Mars and Pluto are the leaders of this Full Moon. Mars works well with the Sun in your sign and the Moon from your 3rd House. Your ability to speak and be bold in your communications will be helpful to you now. You have to say and let others know your boundaries and where you stand – what your expectations are and how to find middle ground. Mars gives you the boost you need to cultivate raw honesty but yet still with sensitivity as it falls in Cancer. Mercury will be in your sign, emphasizing this ability to speak from a place of personal conviction and from your heart, especially as it aligns with Venus (your ruler). Your power of attraction is strong, and those around you are seeing you for whom you are in totality. Saturn is sitting at the top of your chart, creating what feels like endless responsibilities at work. Maybe you are doing too much all at once, and now it is taking a toll on you. You have to find that balance. With the Full Moon in your 7th House, you may lose a business partner or someone at work. Overall, use this Full Moon to work through your relationships with those in your life. If some are weak, ties will be broken. If they are strong, you will get closer.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Everyday life is just as magical as anything else. We don’t need intense spiritual experiences to open ourselves up to something life’s beauty. This Full Moon reminds you that even in the mundane, magic thrives and is forever fully alive. No pixie dust, just simply building rituals and routines that create more playtime. Your 6th House is being highlighted, so there is an emphasis on your health, body, boundaries and your everyday life. There needs to be a change to how you approach the simple things. Perhaps you are working too hard or not making enough time for your needs and what nourishes you. If you have been undergoing uncertain health concerns, this Full Moon will push you to dig deep to get to the root of the issue. The cause may be more simple than the solution itself, but you know that discovering what it is will be more helpful for you as you go forward. More than anything, you are seeking more control over your life in general. Mars is the ruler of this Full Moon, along with Pluto. Mars will be in good angle to both the Sun and Moon, boosting you from your 2nd House! If you are looking to make a change at work or to your income, you will find that this Full Moon will help you. However, what really stands in the way doesn't own your actual worth. So, before you accept anything financially, make sure it is worth it for you. You can be picky. Not every opportunity is a good one. Mercury, your ruler, is in the sign just behind yours, working in the 12th House. Your intuition is sharp, keen and adept. You are not only processing, but you’re also integrating. The 12th house is about endings. Under the influence of the Full Moon, you must end in order to begin. This will become more clear to you around the eclipses on May 26th & June 10th. Saturn is in your 9th House creating issues and limiting how much you are listening to your inner compass. Expansion is only found when you let go and don’t get caught in analysis paralysis. Use this Full Moon to return your focus back to your body and nourishing yourself. You don’t have to always be of service to others, when your needs are being unmet.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Tis’ the season to be open, receptive and allow your inner child to come out and play! Since Full Moons always have such an impact on you, this one will have you itching to shine just as brightly as it does. With Scorpio as the sign we experience this Full Moon in, we see that your 5th House is being illuminated. Lean into the pleasure of life and perhaps get intimate with your sense of expression. Focus on how you give and receive love. Stay heart-centered and create from a place that serves you first. Why deny yourself the joys of life? Under this influence we see that the world is what we make of it. You are risk adverse usually, but you are more willing to take a leap in order to try something new now. If you feel creative blocks, this is the time to tear those down, opening yourself up to what unfolds! Mars is the ruler of this Full Moon, working in your sign. You feel inspired, busy and perhaps energized! This red planet is racing through Cancer, pumping the blood in your veins, getting your ready to fight for what you believe in! With Mars in harmonious angle to the Sun and Moon, you can take the lead with others and use your natural abilities to create a community or show up for those in your life who need you. Mars in Cancer is fiercely protective. Tap into this but don’t deflect. This is a good time for conflict resolution and tackling things that you have had on the back burner for quite a while. Mercury is conjunct Venus and Lilith in your 11th House, showing you that you can establish really strong ties with people in your network. Actually, it is your community that is driving you more than anything else. They are the wind in your sails! Saturn, however, is trying to limit you from the 8th House, bringing up past issues or pains centered on intimacy with others. Don’t let the past dictate your future. What you have experienced before isn’t what you will again. You are wiser now and through that, you have learned who you can trust and who you can’t. Use this Full Moon to allow yourself to relax a little and just enjoy what life has to offer. You don’t have to hideaway forever. Now is your opportunity to step outside and soak up that sunshine.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
As we withdraw into our own worlds, how can we protect ourselves while honoring our emotions? This may be a question that will come up for you around the Full Moon in Scorpio. Family, roots and your inner well-being become the center of attention, as you are focused on how and where you feel secure. Truly, security is a motivating factor for you with the Full Moon in your 4th House. Emotionally, you can feel a little overwhelmed right now, but you realize that taking a step back can be helpful. Sometimes, as we retreat into our own sanctuaries, we make space for ourselves to comb through the finite details. Some of you may really be putting some emphasis on your home or your family in general. There can be a reconnection of sorts happening – perhaps seeing people who you have not seen in a long time, reconnecting with your roots or even the place you consider to be your home. You could also be reconnecting with your own sensitivities. Ultimately, you are realizing the value of honoring your emotional self. Mars is the leader of this Full Moon, creating harmonious aspects to both the Sun and Moon from your 12th House. This supports this idea of refuge. Oddly, however, it does not mean that you aren’t busy. Actually, it seems you have a lot going on behind the scenes that others may not be aware of. The 12th house represents endings, so you may be tying up loose ends to a very important project or piece of your own life. The Mars transit over the next few weeks will solidify this for you! Mercury will be in your 10th House, along with Venus and Lilith (and Uranus). It seems that you are being noticed in your field for your work and your ability to create strong relationships with others. If you are looking to make a change at work, the Mars energy will boost the planets in your 10th House suggesting you can get your materials and resume together. Saturn will be difficult at this Full Moon, however. It will be fighting the host of planets in your 10th House. Don’t let others become burdens and drain us of our energy. Know when you have taken on too much responsibility and continue to find that balance of work/play. Use this Full Moon to honor your need to rest and retreat. Family is important, even those we choose to make our family.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Our immediate environments can tell us so much about what we need to know in life. What we have learned is that we don’t need to travel far to seek adventure. This Full Moon is reinforcing this idea in your chart by highlighting your 3rd House. Communication, learning and integration are a focus, as you are taking the world around you and sifting through the pieces that you can use in your every day. What you may not realize is that your words hold much more power than they had before. What you think and what you say is thought provoking and exactly what others need to hear. So, don’t keep things to yourself. The more you share, the more others will know. You are a natural teacher and counselor, gifted with an ability to see a problem from every angle while creating the perfect solution. No one can do this quite like you. You are not afraid to confront any information you uncover in this process, because even in the shadow there is always truth. Mars is the leader of this Full Moon pushing you to align yourself with like-minded people and people who can inspire you. You have the opportunity to work toward a future goal without stopping. Now is a time for full steam ahead. Mercury, your ruler, will be conjunct Venus in your 9th House, helping you reach beyond the horizon and see what possibilities lie when you go after what you truly want. You are wise, and you know that you can trust your intuition if you just let go. Saturn will be in your 6th House, trying to limit your perspective and hold you back. This could manifest as a health issue, work problem or even just general fatigue. If it is work, start seeking new paths that don’t squash your creativity. Your dreams matter too. Use this Full Moon to speak your desires and thoughts out into the Universe. Follow that up with action and work with others to push you. There is no need to hold back now.
Libra & Libra Rising
We enter a phase where your attention is turned toward ownership and what you hold onto. This isn’t always material, in fact, it goes far beyond that. This Full Moon falls in your 2nd House, where our values and self-worth lie. So, what do you truly value in life? Are there outdated beliefs that are holding you back? The Scorpio energy of this Full Moon will be pushing you to dig deep and unearth the things that you no longer align with. Of course, this can manifest materially for you. If you are unhappy at a job or in the ways that you make money, now is the time to shed the fears you have around that. Is the perpetual need to stay where you are driven by security, scarcity or necessity? You may find that money is top of mind, but even more so your relationship with it. You can accumulate more when you let go of the stigma that it is all you need in life to create that safety net for yourself. You realize that people can be just as valuable. The same is true with defining your beliefs and your own sense of self-worth. Mars is the leader of this Full Moon, along with Pluto. Mars is touring your 10th House, so it seems that your career, work or even direction in life is moving quickly. You could feel busy, slightly overwhelmed and trying to balance it all. The nice part is that when you feel motivated by an idea, you have the energy you need to act on it. Just be careful of becoming too self-protective. Mars works well with the Moon and Sun, who is currently in your 8th House. So, some of you may experience a raise or increased responsibility at work. You may even take a leap to try something entirely new in your work sphere. Mercury is hanging out in your 8th House, so there is internal conversation happening, and perhaps even conversation with a partner or close friend. You are processing and healing, actively. Saturn is squaring the stellium in Taurus from your 5th House. You may feel limited in terms of creation, joy and being more heart-centered. The 5th House also relates to children. Maybe a part of your own inner child needs to heal before you can move forward. Use this Full Moon to be more definitive and own your worth and value. You are the creator of your abundance.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
A Full Moon that is brilliantly illuminating you from the inside out! Transits like this can feel intense, but recharging, refreshing and transformative. You are being touched by the unending light of the Moon, turning your face out of the darkness and into its warm, radiant glow. This lunation is asking for you to step into yourself, your power. Own all you are, wholly. What do you desire? What do you want out of life? You don’t have to bow down in the face of adversity. Your resilience and ability to overcome is your greatest asset of all. You are in focus more than any other sign. This comes down to what you are wiling to create, do and tolerate. Mars, your traditional ruler, and Pluto are both the leaders of this Full Moon. Mars will be poised in your 9th House, reminding you that the sky is the limit. What you want out of life is never-ending, and the quest is just as important as the goal. You could be seeking to go back to school or really just educate yourself on something new. If you do, it will have a profound impact on your sense of being and identity. Mars works well with the Sun and Moon, giving you a boost of energy as it falls in a fellow Water sign. The Sun is highlighting your partnerships, along with a host of planets in Taurus. Mercury, in particular, joins Lilith and Venus (and Uranus) here, reminding you that communication is a must in your relationships with others. Your words, thoughts and ideas are important to those around you. Share but also allow space for listening. Saturn is creating harsh aspects at this Full Moon to the stellium in Taurus in particular. Saturn is keeping you locked inside a bit, unwilling to emerge from your shell, as it stands in your 4th House. There could be issues in relation to your family or home that can crop up, creating tension for you and even those close to you. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you. Wait for things to settle. Remember, you can use this Full Moon to let go of anything that stands in your way, but you must be mindful of the consequences. You are in control here, even if you don’t realize it. If the energy is swelling and swirling, let the dust settle before making a decision.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
And now, we rest. It seems that an important ending is occurring now, and you need time to process and fully let go. Where you were is no longer where you should be, and you recognize that things are changing soon (and possible fast). You have been hosting eclipses in your sign, and this won’t end until December. However, right now, it is clear that you are in the process of making major moves in life. The Full Moon points to your 12th House. So, you are seeking solitude, to rest and go within your own sacred space. You are honoring your spirit and working behind the scenes to set the stage for what is to come. We are a month away from the next eclipse in your sign, so continue to finish tying loose ends. You are making significant strides. Your intuition is also on fire right now. So, listen to what your gut is telling you. If something must be let go, the time for it is now. Mars is the leader of this Full Moon working quickly from your 8th House. So emotional processing and healing feel like they are something that you are actively working through. It doesn’t fully end here either. Mars will also be pushing you toward getting more intimate with yourself and someone close to you, showing your vulnerabilities and working through it all together. You realize, that you are not fully alone and that what you may have considered to be a shadow, really isn’t as dark as you once thought. It is in this place that we can truly experience growth. As you working through sharing the deeper parts of yourself, even working through debts (financial and otherwise), you are freeing yourself more and more. Mars works well with the Sun in your 6th House. Mercury, Venus, Lilith and Uranus are here too. You could be trying to build and settle into new routines in your life. Because your life has changed so much, you are working on that balance. A health issue could also crop up, especially with Saturn squaring all of this from your 3rd House. So anxiety is what will get the best of you. The inability to speak your needs and nourish yourself will cause more harm than good. Although you feel introspective, don’t let that keep you from sharing your thoughts with others. Use this Full Moon to rest and take time for yourself. You have been through a lot in the last year.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
When we feel like the outsider looking in, where do we go? Do we internalize? This Full Moon is asking for you to step out a bit, even out of your comfort zone. The idea of belonging is on the forefront of your mind. The reality is, you do belong somewhere, and you always have. Your 11th House is being illuminated, and there is a sense of community around you – people who have been and constantly want to support you. You are never alone, and you are being shown this time and time again. Even if you back away, the support never goes away. Don’t forget that. You may find that not everyone wants to be your friend, either. That is more than ok. You can shed people from your life that don’t add value, only making more room for those who do. You may also have your mind toward the future. Perhaps your goals don’t need to be achieved alone. Collaboration is key now. Mars is the leader of this Full Moon, racing through your 7th House of partnerships/others. This reinforces that message of collaboration but also togetherness. Significant people in your life are fighting for you and wanting you to do the same. Close one-on-one relationships flourish at this time, and you are feeling re-energized simply be just engaging in those relationships. Conversations are riveting, inspiring and motivating. This has a direct impact on your creativity and sense of expression, as Mars works well with the Sun. Mercury, Venus, Lilith and even Uranus are all in the same house as the Sun (the 5th House). So you are placing a lot of emphasis on your ability to make, create and just enjoy life. Maybe deciding where or how you can do this. You can take center stage a bit and allow yourself to shine more. Saturn, your ruler, is trying to dampen this by squaring from your 2nd House. Maybe the funds aren’t there to make things happen, but more than likely it seems self-confidence is lacking as well. Your worthiness isn’t tied to ownership, nor is your ability to create. Remember, you have those around you that want to support you. Friends, partners and loved ones come rushing in to see you succeed. Lean into your network and community. Stop resisting the help.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Your efforts are never in vain, and this Full Moon reminds you of that. Your hard work and reputation proceed you, and people are noticing you. Your 10th House is being highlighted, and your mind is on your life direction. With all of the Aquarius energy of 2021, it is no surprise that you have been restructuring your life. Now, you can find a path that works for you. Of course, Rome wasn’t built in a day, so this may take time. Luckily, you are ambitious enough to make it happen. You are reaching a pinnacle in your career, work and sense of being. You want to try new things, but there are fears around change that you must confront first. Your work speaks for itself. In some ways, that is all you need. This is your chance to put yourself out there. Mars is working with this Full Moon from your 6th House. So, there are changes happening in your everyday life and your daily routines — possibly even with your health habits! Mars is a friend right now, so it will push you to do the work and research in your quest for purpose and participating in the right career. If you are self-employed, this Full Moon will be very helpful. If you work for others, go after that promotion. The caveat is that there will be more responsibility there. But if the work is worth the reward, then why not? Mars is also helpful to the Sun in your 4th House. So, a job-related move is likely or even just a move in general. Mercury, Venus, Lilith and Uranus are in your 4th House, too. Home and family is important. You may be reconnecting with them after sometime or trying to just do work around the house. Saturn is limiting and restricting this energy though from your 1st House. Sometimes, you are your own worst enemy. Don’t let self-imposed limitations stop you from doing what you want to do or going where you want to go. Yes it is true that you have to have security, but when does that need for security hold you back? Use this Full Moon to make strides in your career and release self-doubt as you find your niche and place in this world.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
There is no limit to where you can go. We often realize that in life, things can change at the drop of a hat, and your gift is always in your ability to adapt. This Full Moon shines in your 9th House, telling you that now is a time to keep focus and your eye on the prize. It is important to have goals and not let them die. With the lunation in Scorpio, if we have deeply rooted fears revolved around risk-taking, then now is time to confront those. We may not believe that we know enough to try or do what we want in life, but knowledge is gained through experience — not always a certification or diploma. You have all the tools you need. We can journey beyond the here and now and put ourselves into the future, knowing full well that if we leap, we are supported. We can transform, transmute and change even simply by actively believing in ourselves. Mars, the leader of this lunation, sits in your 5th House of creativity and joy. The truth is, when we do what we love, we are given the greatest gift of all — happiness. You know that you are in a very pivotal place where you are working on things that set your heart and soul on fire. Mars is in a fellow Water sign and reaching out to both the Moon and Sun. Our thoughts and ideas are brilliant, and we feel motivated to put action behind what we are thinking. Mercury, Venus, Lilith and Uranus are hanging out in the same house as the Sun, the 3rd House. So you words are important. They hold power. Mercury will ensure that you have an endless stream of inspiration and ideas coming to you. Your need to communicate is strong, and even more so, to teach with your 9th House activation. Now is not a time to keep things to yourself. Saturn is trying to limit you into sticking to a fear-based mentality. You are mistrusting your own intuition, which is harmful, as your intuition is your superpower. To lose faith in your greatest assets is to lose faith in yourself entirely. This Full Moon pushes you to keep that faith. You are supported just simply because you are here. It is time to take back your power and push past every barrier that stands in your way.
Full Moon Note
Happy Full Moon, everyone! This Full Moon feels intense, and there is a rush of energy. Take things in stride and don’t be afraid explore the shadows in life. It is in the shadows that we find our true power.

Aries New Moon Miniscopes
Aries New
Moon Miniscopes
Taking Initiative.
The New Moon is on April 11th at 10:30 PM EST. The New Moon during Aries Season will always fall in Aries itself, signifying the start of a whole new cycle entirely. New Moons are a time for planting seeds and new endeavors, and when it is in Aries, it is the essence of fresh beginnings. Aries is bold, quick, and powerful. We charge ahead with confidence and strength. There is no time to cower or for uncertainty. Take that risk. This New Moon is exceptionally potent as it meets with Venus and reaches out to Jupiter while maintaining a strong relationship with Mars. With a stellium in Aries, this is good for matters that need to be handled swiftly and promptly and require you to take a leap of faith. More than anything, you have to believe in yourself and not lose steam.
Mars is the leader of this New Moon, adding fuel to the fire (in a good way), and it’s in perfect harmony with the Sun, Moon, and Venus. Saturn and Mercury are connecting, as well, at this New Moon, reminding us of the power that we have as we push forward. Saturn will ground us and ensure that the foundations we lay are strong and formidable, lasting and solid. Pluto will fight with the Aries Stellium, specifically Venus, so our need to drive ahead will be met with some obstacles. However, this is meant to transform you and have you check in with yourself along the way. We must heal and be willing to dig below the surface. The Pluto interaction can be volcanic if left unchecked.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 18º to 26º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
Note: Pluto will be in an exact square to Venus. This can be initially very tough. Especially as Venus is looking for freedom, pleasure and joy. Pluto will try to dive deep and can create power struggles. We have outlets though, so we can’t allow for obstacles to hold us back. The fiery energy of Aries can blaze new trails and new paths. So, as Pluto forces us to transform, the Aries stellium will give us momentum. Nothing is ever perfect in life, and this is a reminder to not back down in the face of any adversity.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
The New Moon comes in with a rush of energy for you, Aries! It will highlight your 1st house, placing emphasis on the self. Here we see that you are ready to start moving forward in your life. You were working the last year to get to where you are, and now you’ve crossed the finish line. This is a new beginning in every sense of the phrase. This New Moon is important as it marks a time where you can reinvent yourself, if you would like. This is all about what you want in life and doing what makes you happy! Your ruler Mars is the leader of this New Moon, and it will be in mutual reception with Mercury in Aries. They are playing off of one another, helping each other out. Mars will be in your 3rd House reaching out to the Sun and Moon, giving you the energy to get your ideas going! There is no stopping you once you set your mind to something! Venus is still in your sign, working with Mars and Jupiter! Jupiter will remind you that you have support from the people around you, a message you will be receiving almost all year and that you are not alone in anything you do. Your friends are showing up for you over and over and over again! Pluto is causing a little trouble, perhaps trying to force your attention to your career. There seems to be some sort of power struggle or perhaps a shift of perspective at work or in your life direction. Take it easy. This is temporary and isn’t meant to throw you off track. It is reinforcing your need to solidify your plans and stay on target. Use your voice, lean into your support and let your ideas run free. Don’t be confined by Pluto. Keep yourself going and stay inspired. There is a stellium in your sign making sure that you are gifted with that fire in your belly!
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, this New Moon will have your prepping for your next step. You are not quite ready to make a leap, but you’re almost there. There are personal new beginnings on the horizon, but this New Moon will have your eyes on tying up the loose ends as it transits your 12th House. You will turn your attention toward rest, slowing down and finishing up a project. Some of these projects or “endings” do feel work-related, as your 2nd and 10th Houses are being highlighted by other planets. You have been dealing with trying to balance everything in your life, and now this is the start of a new cycle. You are feeling particularly motivated to protect your time and your energy more than anything else. Mars is the leader of this New Moon and will be touring your 2nd House. It seems that money is on the way in some capacity, but it isn’t quite hitting your account yet. Mars will be reaching out to the Sun, Moon and Venus, as well as, Jupiter. You may hear from a promotion, but may have to keep it secret. Some of you may be looking for a new job and find that you are in the final rounds or get the job, but can’t yet let your employer know. There are things happening behind the scenes, but they are helpful and working for you. It seems that by May 11th (the New Moon in your sign), everything will be done. But for now, you have to sort of keep things quiet. Pluto will be causing a few problems at this New Moon, perhaps trying to force you out of your comfort zone. Know that this isn’t going to be detrimental. It actually can be very empowering. You are reminded that you are strong and resilient. Jupiter in your 10th House is super helpful right now and working with Venus in your 12th. So, if you need to take some time off or create a new work/life balance, now is the time to do it. You are being noticed by higher-ups and you impress them, even if you aren’t aware of it yet.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Who are you reaching out to in times of need? What are you dreams? You have been very focused on connectivity lately, and this New Moon will bring this full circle! It will fall in your 11th House of friendships and connections. You are being reminded of just how important the people in your life truly are! If you have big dreams, why go after it alone? You are amazing at cultivating and creating important relationships. Now is the time to use this to your advantage, but this isn’t about being opportunistic. You have to consider what you can provide back. This must be reciprocal. Mars is the leader of this New Moon running through your sign, working with Mercury in a mutual reception. Your words hold power right now, more than normal. We are nearing the end of the Mars in Gemini transit, so whatever you need to get off the ground, now is the time. Mars will be work with the Sun, Moon, Venus and Jupiter, all creating the ideal formula to set your desires in motion. Be careful scattering yourself, try to focus on only a few things if possible. Trying to do it all, especially alone, isn’t going to be helpful. Actually, it is counter-intuitive. Pluto will be causing a little drama, especially from your 8th House. So you may find that there is a small financial situation that comes up. Alternatively, you may not being forthright about how you feel with someone, and it will come to bite you. Pluto is asking you to be intimate, honest and vulnerable with those around you. Not doing so can result in a power struggle with a friend. Luckily, Jupiter in your 9th House will be pushing you to find new ways to expand beyond the issues that show up. You may have to get creative, but the solution is there. Ultimately, what you may not realize is that other people are rallying around you. You can’t push them away when they are only wanting to help. Strength in numbers, dear Gemini.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Work has been very busy, but not without reward, if you are putting in the effort. This New Moon will highlight your 10th House of career and life direction. If you are considering a change, then now is the time! You may be getting callbacks or even submitting applications. Alternatively, some of you may be trying to move up at your current job or truly just starting to get noticed for your efforts. Unfortunately, if you have been falling behind in any way, this will also be noticed now too. Luckily, there is a lot to suggest you are more well-equipped and work seems to be a place of positive growth for you. Mars is the leader of this New Moon, traveling through our 12th House. So, your energy may be influx right now, but that will all change on April 23rd, when Mars moves into your sign. Your intuition is on fire, literally, and anything that was hidden from view before is now coming out into the open. Mars is playing well with the Sun, Moon and Venus in your 10th House, which is why I believe that work is a positive place right now. The complication comes with Pluto who is squaring up with the 10th House. This suggests that your partner may be more demanding than usual or maybe even creating drama where it isn’t necessary. Pluto may cause some issues in your personal or business relationships, especially if they aren’t sturdy. Whatever the outcome know it is pushing you to transform. You must get to the root of the issue, so that the change can be enacted. On a positive note, Jupiter is helpful, playing nice from your 8th House. So, you are willing to get intimate and do the work to create those important foundations. If you do get a new job or promotion, there may be a bonus or new benefits available to you. Alternatively, Jupiter will present you with an unexpected sum of money or other form of resource. Whatever this New Moon may bring, know you can start a new cycle in your career.

Perhaps there are power struggles with work or something just isn’t right. Try not to get bogged down by this. It is a temporary issue.

Jupiter will be very helpful from your 6th House, so even simple daily changes can expand your entire world view. Taking control of your health and your well-being is important and makes things easier for you. Jupiter will be touching on Venus in particular suggesting you can make major headway in healing and unearthing new and helpful information. You must get intimate with yourself and discover what really motivates you. What do you really want out of life? What is at the core of your being? Take that and run with it.
Libra & Libra Rising
We are coming off of the Full Moon in your sign two weeks ago and entering this New Moon in your polarity. Your 7th House is being highlighted now, and partnerships are becoming more clear than ever – especially where does you stand in your current close one-on-one relationships. If you feel you and your partner are unsolid, the relationship will need to be met with a heart to heart. Alternatively, those that feel secure in their partnerships will find a deeper sense of commitment with their partner and potentially even get engaged, married or work toward a goal together. Mars is the leader of this New Moon and will be reaching out to the Sun, Moon and Venus (your ruler). This is important as Mars is traveling through your 9th House, helping you grow and expand in new ways. If you are in school, you will find classes are moving quickly. With Mars in the 9th House, you are more willing to take a risk, which can be unlike you, but it is important. It seems that whatever you’re trying to go after isn’t singular. Remember the stellium in Aries is in your 7th House. So, it would be growth with another or a close friend. You both could be working toward something that will make the relationship more meaningful. Pluto will make things a little challenging at this New Moon, creating some uncertainty around your 4th House of Home and Family. It could be that there is a lack of clarity in how you feel about your home – especially if you are trying to move or sell/buy. Alternatively, some of you may have a power struggle or an intense conversation with a family member that can no longer be avoided. It is coming to a head now. This is only to make the bond stronger or simply remove the excess if that person does not provide value to your life. Luckily, Jupiter comes in providing help from your 5th House. It will remind you to not take things so seriously and try to find time for relaxation and the things that bring you joy. The 5th House is about self-expression, creativity and happiness.
