Monday: Moon in Scorpio, Mercury moves to Pisces

The Moon is in strong willed Scorpio, opposite Jupiter in equally dominant Taurus. This finds us fixated on goals, possibly obsessed with winning, and in exaggerated moods. Use this drive to push forth with plans, bury yourself in important projects, and pursue desires relentlessly. Just don't cross personal boundaries in the process! Scorpio Moon is a time to appreciate and respect privacy. Mercury spends final hours in Aquarius, and this is favorable for logical decisions and processes and for getting impartial advice. Saturn helps out with wisdom, from Libra sign of moderation and balance. After Mercury and Saturn align in air signs, for intelligent moves and clear communication, Mercury moves to Pisces at 8:38 pm EST where the planet of news and information is perhaps more gentle and forgiving yet not as clear and direct with the message. Make stronger choices and schedule meetings where things will be negotiated and decided this afternoon rather than after 8:38 pm tonight. Tonight is designed for creative work, writing, and art forms of all kinds. Wear blue.

Tuesday: Valentine's Day Astrology

Valentine's Day is part Scorpio and part Sagittarius Moon times. If this were embodied in a person, she or he would beg you to stay forever and then go out and flirt with other attractive prospects or promise to stay true but leave you behind for a great, worldly adventure! The earlier part of the day seems most suited for lovers, with Mercury and Neptune together in loving, romantic Pisces, helping us choose the right words while being understanding and generous too. The Moon squares the Sun, Neptune and Mercury in succession after noon time and the Moon moves to independent, philosophical Sagittarius at 7:56 pm EST. If adventure is what you crave and changes agree with you, you may get exactly what you want. However if loyal and reliable is what you're hoping for. there could be disappointment, delay or other reason to be patient. Tonight, some of will be rethinking things,and that goes beyond our love lives. There's an urge to break free of restrictions and experiment with something else. Wear purple.

Wednesday

The Sagittarius Moon is feeling more agreeable and easygoing today with two trines. We'll let go of expectations more easily and go with recent developments as the Moon works with Uranus in quick acting Aries and with Venus for new love and fresh ideas. Everything new and untried is appealing, while stagnant or repetitive is a problem. Travel plans are encouraged as is moving, starting new classes or programs, and experimenting with different ways of doing the same old tasks. Venus is the strongest planetary influence, putting relationships in perspective, and as Venus squares Pluto in Capricorn we'll want structure around personal matters that have gotten out of hand. A solution oriented approach is called for and without that come partners, lovers and other parties with agreements may call it quits. Tonight is prime for ultimatums. Reorganize your relationship life if need be. Otherwise, the Sagittarius Moon favors an unscheduled approach to the night. Wear red.

Thursday: Sagittarius Moon

The Moon in Sagittarius squares Mars in Virgo this morning. There's a tendency toward arguments about disorganization or unreliability. Look responsible, clean up your work space, go over expenses and correct any errors or imbalances. The Moon stays in Sagittarius until 11:03 pm EST and is harmony with Sun and Saturn. We should feel more confident about advice we're getting and general direction we're headed in if we've been asking for clarification before acting. Confidence is boosted for Aquarius and Sagittarius and Leo may be enjoying a stoke of luck this week. Mercury and Jupiter call for decisions and encourage sharing of ideas and philosophies. New information and ideas can be very helpful today so don't shy away from the conversation, especially Taurus and Pisces. Wear yellow.

Friday: Capricorn Moon

The Capricorn Moon aligns with Mercury in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus. Constructive is the key word. Whether you're dealing with sensitive or emotional matters or business and organization, listening is important as speaking. Mercury in Pisces says be understanding, but also be clear! The Capricorn Moon doesn't accept excuses for slacking off or acting in unreliable ways. Show some initiative and put effort behind your intentions. Ambitions may be rewarded with lucky, expansive Jupiter in harmony with the Moon. It's great for earth signs Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo, and in work and money matters, Sagittarius and Aries also experience the benefits. The Moon and Pluto meet in the afternoon and new information or revelations could be the result. Capricorn, you experience this each month and if it brings up anxieties, processing things physically with a run, a workout or even house cleaning might be helpful. Cancer this puts emphasis on relationships and commitments and the secrets or underlying influences at work. It could be a day of serious considerations where partners are involved. Tonight the Moon squares Venus in Aries bringing some tension to relationships that lean toward power struggles. A relaxed approach to the night is best. Keep expectations of others reasonable and balanced. Today's color is black.

Saturday

There's a Capricorn Moon and three varied aspects at work, all aiming to ease transitions and decisions. Capricorn Moon and Mars in Virgo help with the practical things that need to be done and figured out. Working on taxes could be one way to use this influence, especially if motivation has been lacking. Planning, scheduling and communication is also eased by Mercury in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn, though we may not like every topic that comes up, we should be able to deal with things as necessary. Those two planets are also helping to solve mysteries and uncover missing pieces of plans or information. Seek answers today. The Sun and Saturn team up in air signs, Aquarius and Libra, for solid, confident decisions and advice. Justice is a priority. Look at information fairly and without too much emotion or attachment to a personal agenda. Gather information, make sure no one is being treated unjustly, and take action. This may help with big life decisions, business or technology upgrades, and everything legal. Tap into the older, wiser part of your personality or ask advice from someone more experienced. Keep communication open and free of drama today. Things are bound to be accomplished, ready or not! It's the final night of Aquarius birthdays. Today's color is gray.

Sunday: Aquarius Moon and Pisces Birthdays Begin!

The Sun enters Pisces at 1:18 am for the final phase of winter. After just about an hour void of course, the Moon moves to Aquarius at 5:28 am EST. A forward thinking approach is best under Aquarius Moon. Try not to look back or let too much sentiment rule decisions. Aquarius is about using intellect and rationality. As the Moon combines with Uranus in Aries, brand new idea spark! We may want to jump on board with a new project or otherwise react quickly. There's a spontaneous attitude at work. Jupiter in Taurus attempts to remind us to stay grounded amidst excitement. It's natural to want to be extravagant and original or unique today. Do something to stand out if it's to your benefit! Aquarius Moon time rules friendship and community. Get together in groups and seek out causes you're interested in or find common interests as the core of a new friendship. Libra and Aries get the friendship aspect of this most for the rest of the weekend and may need to rely on or give advice to friends. Leo, this Aquarius Moon exhibits a combination of focus on your significant other and discussion or weighing out of options for either or both of you and some of that is likely to relate to career. The Sun and Neptune meet in Pisces for romance, creativity and escape from the ordinary tonight. Wear blue.

Weekly Astrology February 6th-12th: Full Moon in Leo, Venus in Aries

Monday: Full Moon in Leo

The Moon is void of course from 7:31 am to 8:24 am and though it's a short one, the Eastern timing hits the morning commute. We tend to be forgetful or confused, so make sure you know where you need to be and what you need to get the job done if you have an early start!  The Leo Moon is nearly Full and we need to get structure around plans and ideas. Work creatively to make things happen on time this week. Leo Moon time is full of enthusiasm and acting quickly is in the forecast early this week.  Jupiter and Saturn square the Moon today, encouraging an optimistic but controlled approach.  Get advice and look at pros and cons before diving in head first! Aries and Sagittarius should be energized by this Leo Moon. Taurus, get legal and financial input before acting on any situation that requires it.  Scorpio, this Full Moon relates to your image and career.  Present at your best! Wear purple.

Tuesday: Full Moon in Leo

The Moon is Full in Leo at 4:54 pm EST.  This morning The Sun and Mercury meet in logical, technical master of the zodiac, Aquarius.  It's a big day of decisions that have long term impact.  Take everything into consideration and move forward with strong sensibilities and with future plans in mind.  Technology and improvements are in the spotlight. The Leo Moon amps things up with vibrance and glamour.  It's not the time to think small or conservative. Mercury in Aquarius is a major player during this Leo Moon, having a boomerang effect at Full Moon time, creating big news, reasons to act, and tie together loose ends. The more amazing the better during Leo Moon. We want to be wowed. Paint a bright picture and rally people around to make it happen.  Cancer is likely to meet a deadline and be working hard. Scorpio is favored for the spotlight along with Leo. Libra and Aries will enjoy friends and events.  Gemini, this Full Moon is a bringer of news in your circle, be it business or family. Tonight is Venus's last night in Pisces. Use this if you need to reconcile or make up. Wear gold.

Wednesday: Venus in Aries

Venus moves to Aries at 1:01 am just after the Full Moon.  Venus in Aries favors new love and fresh starts.  It's exciting and can feel like spring fever!  Sagittarius and Aries are favored in love with Leo and Libra getting a boost too!  The Full Moon's effect is still in action today with news and conclusions and due dates giving us reason to work hard and stay on top of things. The Moon moves to Virgo at 12:32 pm after less than an hour void of course. The change of Moon sign may make us feel more serious and more analytical.  Keep some flexibility in your time if possible.  Tonight the Moon works with Jupiter in Taurus and we're encouraged by positive attitudes and willingness to learn.  With the action in earth signs, physical work or workouts help us feel like we're on track.  It's also a night to help out or be on the receiving end of favors.  Virgo is the sign of service to others.  Wear navy blue.

Thursday: Venus and Uranus in Aries

Venus meets Uranus in Aries! This can be wildly eventful for relationships and creative endeavors particularly.  Libra turns of events in your long term relationship and other surprises connected to love or other partnerships in the forecast this week. Aries, one of those big "aha" moments hits within days on either side of this.  You could make dramatic changes as a result once this new information really sinks in.  Sagittarius, something unexpected that intitially takes your breath away makes you rethink everything and has the capacity to be very fortunate once you adjust!  For all of this an awakening is due, and for many it will relate most to relationship and love.  You might even suddenly believe that love at first meeting is possible.  The Moon is in Virgo in a practical trine to Pluto exerts a contrasting influence and helps keep us grounded and dealing with the day to day tasks even if some of today's news is stunning one way or another.  The Moon reaches Mars in Virgo after midnight (EST) further activating both the Aries influence and the earth sign activity, making us feel like we must do something about problems and positives both! It's an action oriented evening as we aim to make the most of new situations and connections.  Wear red.

Friday: Long Void of Course Moon

From 12:11 am to 2:54 pm EST there's a long void of course Moon in Virgo.  Expect plans to change and, if possible, remain very flexible with options, decisions and schedules.  It's a day of adjustments.  The Moon, Mars and Uranus are the major influences at work, much like yesterday, and we're dealing with surprises and unanticipated news and events. With activity in Aries, we want to blaze new trails and forge into different territory.  Do that slowly and with  care today during void of course Moon time which is more fertile for forgetfulness or missteps.  At 2:54 the Moon moves to Libra and is opposite both Venus and Uranus activating relationship events yet again!  Conditions are right for changes of status including married to single and vice versa.  New love is in the air too, especially for Sagittarius and Aries. Tonight is for social butterflies. It's a great date night as long as you're not already in disagreement in which case it will be hard to find compromise.  Wear pink.

Saturday: Libra Moon

The Moon squares Pluto so be sure to act in fairness and avoid being too judgmental.  This is a very good day for social plans. Libra Moon time favors us meeting new people, networking, connecting with friends, and dating.  Three may be a crowd since Libra is about couples, duos, and best friends. Collaborate and enjoy work more too!  Two heads are better than one is a phrase that makes sense today.  Listen to another perspective or a friend's story or advice.  Above all don't isolate yourself while the Moon moves through a sign that helps us meet, negotiate, and connect.  It's another good date night and one on one rules over going out in larger groups. Wear light blue.

Sunday: Moon meets Saturn

The Moon works well with  the Sun, Neptune and Mercury. Socials plans thrive! A party or event is well timed. Make a favorable impression by being conscious of appearance and manners.  We can even handle those superficial but necessary encounters with aspects like these!  Before the Moon moves to Scorpio, there's a conjunction with wise and serious Saturn.  Justice is the theme and we may be discussion how to divide things or responsibilities and fulfilling obligations we've made. Honor commitments and your elders for best results.  It's Mercury's last day in logical, strong willed Aquarius.  A solid decision may be better timed today than tomorrow. Tonight creative and organizational pursuits are favored under Scorpio Moon. It's also a good movie night.  Wear maroon.

Monday

The Moon is in Taurus, a sign grounded in reality and security.  Taking tangible steps to increase prosperity, to be more healthy and to be more knowledgeable is forecast as Jupiter and the Moon  meet.  There are other aspects that can both help and detract from those things, but staying persistent and goal oriented is the best way to expend energy today.  Glitches in planning or situations that run out to be less than honest or not as good as expected may appear. Taurus Moon helps us stay grounded in what we need to do regardless.  Tonight the Moon and Pluto work together and we may uncover or disclose information that was previously not public or obvious.  The Moon and Sun square and that manifests as stubbornness. The fixed sign energy can be productive if you need to stay your course and not give in.  Wear green.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Taurus in harmony with Venus in Pisces and Mars in Virgo. Working on relationships is the primary focus today.  We'll be inclined to look for the best possible solutions for everyone involved.  It's a good day to find agreement where things have been out of sync. In love, things only improve, and reconciliations are well timed.  Taurus Moon time can be very romantic and Venus and Mars enhance that for today or tonight.  In business, keep feelings and relationships in mind.  Taurus Moon is a time to keep long term implications in mind as we act.  Wear pink.

Wednesday

The Moon moves from Taurus to Gemini at 2:14 pm. The Moon square to Neptune has us working through creative processes and perhaps trying different approaches before we get the result we want.  Neptune can also affect the way things appear and today dualities may be evident.  Look at both sides with the Moon in Gemini this afternoon and tonight.  Remain indecisive if you feel uncertain. Trust your instincts about people and things that have a shiny gloss or seem to give very different or conflicting messages.  Tonight Venus in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo, and though opposites may attract, some of us will find ourselves on different sides and unable to agree. Go for temporary agreements or truces.  Wear blue.

Thursday

The Gemini Moon has us considering two sides of the story, two equally appealing options, and quite possibly a multitude of ideas.  The Moon works with Gemini's planet, Mercury, in Aquarius, and innovative, forward thinking options should be priorities.  Communication is the key, so read, respond, and keep in contact with changeable situations and social or business contacts. The Moon and Sun boost confidence and may make us more decisive tonight. It's a good night for business, socializing or studies. Tap into intelligence and sharp wit. Make things happen today by reaching out. Wear yellow.

Friday

The Moon is in Gemini square to Mars in Virgo and Venus in Pisces. Though we need to be adaptable and easygoing, it may not be so easy! Squares represent challenges and in the mtuable signs the Moon and planets can be changeable to the point of frustration! Try not to flip flop on decisions. Pick something and stick with it! In relationships we're prone to debate and disagreement, especially Gemini, Virgo, Pisces and Sagittarius. For those same signs, negotiation is needed around home, family and potential career changes.  The Moon and Saturn provide structure tonight. Decide what works and what's fair.  It's a social night but have a game plan ahead of time.  Wear black.

Saturday

The Full Moon warmup begins for Tuesday when the Moon will be in Leo.  The Cancer Moon engages with Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn for a variety of influences and pulls.  Cancer Moon reacts to circumstances and is vulnerable to mood shifts.  Today is likely to be up and down.  The pull to home and comfortable situations is strong.  We'll want to stay in our element.  The Moon opposing Pluto often brings up things we'd rather not deal with, yet Jupiter in Taurus aims for a productive solution oriented approach.  Do something about problems rather than complaining! A certain amount of grumbling is to be expected today.  Selfishness will cause aggravation.  Wear light blue.

Sunday

The Moon is in Cancer! Who's the home team on game day? Home and family events are priority. Surround yourself with the ones you care about most.  Energy can be sluggish or emotional under Cancer Moon especially with the Full Moon approaching. Take care of those little symptoms that could become something bigger without the right remedies. That includes rest, and some is in order today. Whatever you're doing, take breaks and take good care of yourself.  The Moon is in harmony with physical Mars in Virgo this evening. Versatile thinking and strategizing are the way to go.  Channel strong feelings into productive efforts and tasks.  Accomplish instead of moping.  Full Moon pressures are in action. Wear white.

Weekly January 23rd

Monday

It's a New Moon in Aquarius, a sign that looks toward the future with an eye for design and a head for new technology. The conditions are right for breakthroughs! Scientific or personal discoveries are favored! This is also the sign of community so it's a good time to join a group. Experiment with something and see if it's for you.  All kinds of changes and new directions are favored.  It's Chinese New Year, and year of the dragon begins. Have a courageous, open minded attitude! Mercury and Mars are in harmony in earth signs encouraging us to be productive and flexible as we work and problem solve. Trouble shoot something with a Virgo or Capricorn who may know just what to do! Mars starts a retrograde tonight in Virgo and we may need to slow down a bit and  pay attention to health.  Don't over exert yourself tonight. Wear white.

Tuesday

The Moon moves freely through Aquarius. If you do experience some kind of setback it may be Mars retrograde at work now, especially if you're an Aries, a Virgo, or you work in the health, animal, or service industries.  Mars encourages us to rework things this winter and perhaps relaunch something or delay it until this spring. Building plans may also be affected. The Aquarius Moon prompts us to collaborate, gather in groups, especially around causes, and to plan big events.  It's also the sign of friendship and friends can be a source of advice and support today.  Stay with Aquarius logic over feelings that may get in the way or cloud judgment.  Tonight is good for meetings and group projects. Share ideas and brainstorm. Wear blue.

Wednesday

The Moon moves to Pisces at 4:11 am EST after meeting Neptune. This can add to the feeling of illusion. It might be good to question anything you feel uncertain about. However, overall it's an optimistic day and people will tend to be understanding and warm as the Moon aligns with Jupiter in Taurus. There's a "feel good" aspect where we'll want to create comfort and security for people around us from family to co-workers.  That doesn't mean giving up on productivity though. it's like the boss that praises you but still tells you what needs to be accomplished. Act accordingly.  Tonight the Moon and Pluto make it likely sensitive issues will come up for discussion. Ease into those talks or situations gently. Wear green.

Thursday

The Moon meets Venus in Pisces and is opposite Mars in Virgo. Those are the relationship planets, male and female, yin and yang, and so love, attraction, and even opposition with regard to relationships are priority today.  While it's a good day for reconciling, you may have things to hash out and decide first.  Negotiating, being understanding and being flexible are all possible with the actions in mutable signs, willing to shift and change. Ask for adjustments that need to be made. If you're breaking up, it can done more peacefully and with compassion on a day like this.  We're at emotional high tide with Pisces Moon yet Mars is a problem solver in Virgo and Venus provides a softer landing.  It's all Pisces today so if you're not in the throes of relationship happening, perhaps you'll want to be charitable, adopt a pet, help out someone in need or create art. Try not to make today about your sob story.  Everyone has their story, but not everyone will cry about it.  The Moon is void at 11:53 pm EST. Wear light blue.

Friday

There's a long void of course Moon in progress. Meanwhile Mercury takes over, moving to Aquarius for a very logical outlook in the weeks ahead. Detach a bit from an emotional situation and take a clear look. Insight is possible today, but be careful about decisions while the Moon is void until 1:28 pm. Mercury squares Saturn in Libra before changing signs and we need to take our actions and routes very seriously. Get wise advice, consult the "elders", and move slowly and thoughtfully.  The Aries Moon from 1:28 pm is a call to action and by then you might feel you have the info you need and the right conditions for a bold move.  Still, ask questions even of yourself before you take the giant step! News will develop as the afternoon goes on and our urges will likely be strong and forceful.  Tonight is potentially a wild night of unexpected events. Keep your head up and watch out for a friend too. Today's color is red.

Saturday

The Moon is in Aries, a sign of action. Mercury the planet of communication engages with Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Taurus.  Dealing with challenges and the unanticipated is part of the day. Though the Moon is in a fire sign, earth sign approaches like practical, down to earth conversations and workable solutions are the best plan. One challenge is not to over react Mercury is newly in Aquarius the sign of last Monday's New Moon, therefore taking different approaches and thinking  originally is favored. Aries Moon time is good for healthy competition, sports and games. Tonight we need to act in the moment and perhaps think on our feet. Wear yellow.

Sunday

The Aries Moon is full of activity. Today may be unfocused yet require multitasking.  It's another day for initiating new things. Get fired up about what's important to you! Aries is the "me" sign so we may need to take care of ourselves first.  The 2nd quarter Moon is tomorrow night so it's good to feel we're  making progress with something. The tendencies to be assertive and push forth an agenda appear more strongly today. Wear maroon.

Weekly January 16th

Monday

The 4th quarter Moon is in Libra. This time in the lunar cycle is about revisiting, rethinking, and preparing for new courses of action.  We'll be weighing pros and cons and our options early this week.  This morning is very much about justice, balance and moderation as the Moon meets Saturn. If we've gone to extremes or in imbalanced situations, we may notice the price we're paying.  Take steps to get things back in line and more reasonable.  The Moon is void of course from 10:29 to 11:33 am EST and then in Scorpio.  Jupiter in Taurus urges a constructive approach, and opposite the Moon highlights places where negotiation is needed. Find middle ground. The Scorpio Moon is also about respecting privacy and not pushing others too hard.  Tonight the Moon aligns with loving, forgiving Venus in Pisces and we're more willing to be open to reestablishing relationships or showing more compassion and understanding. It's also a nice night for lovers, especially Pisces, Virgo, Scorpio, and secondarily Taurus and Cancer.  Wear maroon.

Tuesday

The Scorpio Moon works with Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, and with Mercury. Both planets are in ambitious and organized Capricorn.  Seek answers and information today.  Solutions may be easier to come by.  Mysteries may be more easily solved.  Ask the right questions and be persistent.  The urge to put things in some kind of order kicks in and you may find yourself alphabetizing, cleaning up the desktop, or cleaning a cabinet, and finding things you expected were lost. Today you might want to focus on career, school, or whatever part of your life requires serious attitude and persistence. Scorpio is a tenacious sign that doesn't give up easily. Get back to something you lost track of but really should follow up on.  There's also a spiritual, metaphysical, intuitive nature to be investigated or dive into. Meditation might balance out those strong work drives.  The conditions are right for best efforts and gut instincts.  Wear black.

Wednesday

The Moon starts out in Scorpio and our best work and decisions may happen in the early hours. Activate and motivate as the Moon works with Mars and the Sun. This is meant to be a day of accomplishment! Press for answers, information or the resources you need. Show ambition and persistence. The tone changes around 1:31 pm when the Moon moves void of course before transitioning to Sagittarius, a sign more likely to have short attention span or just blow off what seems too difficult especially as the Moon squares Neptune and Uranus throws in a curve ball from Aries. We're more likely to get off track or onto another subject as the day and night go on. Make moves you can follow through with and get other people's word too before that happens.  Later in the day adventures and new topics or experiences win our attention.  Tonight we want independence.  Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Virgo have things to work on or work out in relationships and at home. Wear purple.

Thursday

The Moon is in Sagittarius, a sign with an independent streak, an explorer of places and ideas. It's a good day for learning and for investigating travel or study options. Open your mind. A talk with someone who has different ideas or experiences could be enlightening or spark your next adventure.  The Capricorn Sun squares Saturn in Libra reminding us of obligations and traditions or rituals we're expected to carry on with.  The elders in our lives are likely to have something to say and demand our attention.  Seek wise advice. Don't write off what Grandma used to say, for example.  Try to do the mature or fair thing. Take the high road today.  Avoid being too fixed on one agenda.  Wear green.

Friday

The Moon is in Sagittarius until 5:40 pm. It's an active day and a good time for field trips or more distant journeys. Sagittarius Moon time is also designed to open our perspective through reading and discussing. Pick up a good book if travel's not on your agenda.  Venus and Pluto have relationships facing problems with a positive attitude. Solve problems together today. Most of the aspects between planets are agreeable which helps us find agreement too!  The Sun shifts to Aquarius at 11:10 am EST and Aquarius birthdays begin.  Today is good for learning and planning. The Capricorn Moon from 5:40 pm on is less reliable than usual squaring Uranus and we need to change plans or be spontaneous, even if we don't want to! The Moon and Jupiter in earth signs give tonight optimism and a can do attitude too. Wear blue.

Saturday

The Capricorn Moon meets Pluto and is in harmony with Venus today. Realistic approaches to matters of love, fairness and responsibilities are the way to go.  Try not to avoid personal problems. Face up to them and make known your intent to make things more balanced or otherwise right.  The Sun and Uranus in Aquarius and Aries provide the vision and in some cases brilliant ideas!  A progressive attitude works best and holding on or being too sentimental could hold you back. Act intentionally, seriously, and think out of the box! Remember doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is unlikely to work! Go for a new solution. Social plans are more low key than amped up. Wear black.

Sunday

The Capricorn Moon meets Mercury and it's another problem solving, solution oriented day.  Repair, organize, and get life in order! It's a time of planning too. Commmunicate, try to agree on dates and form other practical plans.  The Moon aligned with Mars in Virgo should help with flexibility and also puts us in the mood to move! Play games and get into physical activities even if they involve strenuous work! The Moon squares Saturn shortly before moving into Aquarius at 9:53 pm. Think logically and go over pros and cons of decisions that need to be made. Logic over emotion today. Wear turquoise.

Tuesday

The Leo Moon harmonizes with Uranus in Aries for action! There's a pressing nature to information and a strong need to act under this Leo Moon. Full Moon developments continue and may force decisions, but the Leo Moon is optimistic. It's best to think things out and not go with Aries tendency to just do it. Aim for long term solutions and decisions since the Moon is in a fixed sign implying lasting effects and impressions. This is a career Moon for Scorpio and perhaps Cancer, and for Aquarius the Leo Moon rules relationship.  This Moon sign is creative and relates to children, recreation, and performances. Show your best side. Tap into your talents, reestablish a hobby, and do something active and fun as part of the day or night! Wear purple.

This is the sign of youth! Find what makes you feel happy and satisfied. Leo rules the back and heart. Do something good for your health, particularly the spine and circulatory system! In other words, work in some cardio and exercises that improve flexibility! Tonight is social since Leo is an extrovert in the zodiac.

Our creativity as well as our love lives are stirred up one way or the other. Wear orange.

Thursday

The Moon is void of course in Leo from 3:23 am to 4:44 pm EST. There's a sense of optimism in the air. Try to avoid false hope though! It's not a good day to spend alot or make a significatn decisions, but it is a fine day for fun, relaxation and routine.  The Virgo Moon from 4:44 pm on is in harmony with planets in other earth signs, so we'll tend to be practical, grounded in what we need to or want to do, and move through the evening hours with ease.  The Sun and Mars, also in earth signs, put us in the mood to move, and physical activities are favored.  Simple pleasures rule tonight. Wear brown.

Friday

The Moon is in Virgo, Venus is at work, and we have an important meeting in the sign Capricorn today!  Virgo Moon is health conscious and Capricorn rules teeth and bones, so take care of dental or other health related appointments.  A physical work out is a great addition to routine with this energy is earth signs!  Mercury and Pluto meet in Capricorn for both old and new business, getting dates on the calendar, and dealing with matters of privacy, business, and other agendas.  Meet a challenge ambitiously, express ideas or relay possible solutions to problems, break news, and try not to be afraid to face things that were on the backburner.  Two other conjunctions occur too, as Venus and Neptune in Aquarius create romance and favor Leo, Libra and Aquarius in relationships.  Don't be surprised if you're one of those signs and feel like this is the best it ever gets in your love life! Then do something to enhance or prolong that effect.  Aquarius, this is Venu's last night in your sign for a good long while. Do something enjoyable and use the power of attraction!  In Virgo, the Moon and Mars meet making us want to take very solid action and solve problems!

Keep your wits about you then.  Wear navy blue.

Saturday

Venus moves to Pisces, a sign where she expresses compassion and generosity in relationships and also is more in favor of forgiveness.  Pisces, this is your tune to attract what you want, fall in love or improve the relationship you're in, and even make positive changes in your appearance or image.  The Moon is in Libra from 8:28 am EST through most of Monday morning.  Issues of justice come up and playing fair is important!  Two's a party and three's a crowd this weekend. We'll want one on one time more than anything whether that's with a best friend, lover, or family member.  Partner collaborations on work are also favored.  The Moon and Uranus opposite can throw us off balance. Keeping strong reactions to a minimum will help. Tonight Venus and Jupiter do good work and have a pleasant, positive influence on both relationships and learning opportunties.  It's a night where you maybe CAN get what you need according to those two planets in Pisces and Taurus.  Wear pink.

Sunday

The Libra Moon may prompt us to do more business than you would expect on a usual Sunday.  The Moon and Mercury form a square and we'll be weighing pros and cons, trying to make joint decisions, rescheduling, trying to remove obstacles and negotiating for what we want! If you're not in those modes at all, the Moon urges fairness and balance and a moderate approach.  Seeing differente perspectives is one of our missions this weekend. Tonight the Moon is just about square to the Capricorn Sun and we aim for progress despite obstacles or hurdles. State your case. Wear light blue.

Astrology for Couples!

Compatibility charts show how you and your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or love affair partner connect! The planets on your side and the ones that may provide challenges, the signs of the Sun and Moon and other aspects influence your attraction and interaction! Valentine's Day is a cool time to give or share your compatibility chart, but feel free to email me any time to see how soon I can whip one up for you and your lover or for a wedding, anniversary or engagement gift.  Here's an excerpt from a real one. The names have, of course,  been changed.

 Mars signs influence chemistry and sexual energy between partners. Amanda’s Mars is in Sagittarius and Paul’s is in Gemini, opposite signs. This is a mind connection! You need to be able to talk and explore a variety of subjects and experiences together.  Sagittarius is an adventurous sign for the planet of action, but is also the sign of higher learning. Gemini is the sign of brain activity and Mars influences communication in the sign of the twins. The mental connection feeds the physical, and without that the two of you will feel less interested. It’s important to you as a couple that life be evolving and exciting. You may enjoy change! 

Travel would be a very good way to deepen your connection with each other. Discovering and trying new things together is very attractive to both of you.  Give yourselves time to break out of old patterns and vary from routines from time to time.  Going abroad may be quite appealing, or if not, do physically demanding activities together-for example ski or swim or hike.  Talks you have while engaging in these experiences will be enriching and help you to know each other more.  It’s important to both of you that life not be boring and routine. 

 

Amanda’s Pisces Moon fills a romantic place in Paul’s chart, and since his Moon is in Leo, a generous sign, this is likely to be a very giving relationship.  The Pisces Moon is more about romance, and softens Paul’s Leo Moon.  For Paul, with Scorpio rising, Amanda’s Moon impacts both his home life and his love/creative side. Amanda is able to stir both enthusiasm about life and untapped creativity in Paul.  Paul gains great enjoyment and fulfillment from this aspect of the relationship.
