Aries

March 21 to April 20

You can feel motivated today to convert your recent ideas into firm, productive action, and you can get a lot done. However, with it being the weekend, you may give yourself a to-do list that may too ambitious and end up feeling resentful and stressed out. Instead, look to prioritise what is really essential, and tackle it in a step-by-step and thorough manner.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

A more impulsive mode could grip you today, Taurus, which is fine, it’s lovely to live in the moment and splash out now and then on things that we desire. The trick is not spending money on items that on reflection, don’t have the same quality, value or practical worth that you had hoped. So be mindful of this, or you may end up with a case of buyer’s remorse.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Just as the Sun is making his presence felt in your sign, bringing a sense of anticipation and spark, so the Moon glides into the practical, precise Virgo, which may mean that your attention on what grips and inspires you, can be deflected by home or family demands. Today’s Quarter Moon cautions you not to be too impulsive – it may work against your own needs.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Whilst the gathering of planets in your 12th House of gentle reflection nudges you to enjoy some restful downtime this week, you may find some thoughts intrusive, with the Moon in a livelier position. Try to observe what exactly is difficult to stop churning over in your mind and look to consider this afresh. The quiet awareness this can bring can prove healing, Cancer.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

The last few days may have seen you reconsidering your long-term hopes. This weekend you can appraise your options from a financial or practical perspective, as the Moon in the thorough, detail-orientated Virgo asks you to consider what can work, not what you’d like to work. This added earthy realism can impact on your social plans for the weekend too.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Each month there are two Quarter Moon’s and they can be powerful. Today’s is in your sign Virgo and squares off to the Sun in the most public of signs, for you, Gemini. As much as exciting new prospects have been showing up to raise your profile and gain more success, you can find yourself musing about how comfortable, personally, you feel with this.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Although a rational air sign, when it comes to making big decisions, your scales need to be finely balanced for you to make binding choices. And as much as an energy of freshness and expansion has been gripping you, today’s Quarter Moon in the most reflective part of your chart, could mean that some uncertainties come up. Try not to overthink these for now.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

If you have a lively social circle or a particularly close group of friends, today’s Virgo lunation can see you become more aware of how the energy works within these. Trustful connections see you at your best, but if there are undercurrents, it can make you more wary. The key to feeling more comfortable is to clarify their expectations and be mindful of yours.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Whilst your sector of partnerships is particularly auspicious now, this can also see surprises sprung. This can be true of work ties as much as personal ones. So, if you feel torn about what to prioritise – and this could come up with today’s Moon phase – don’t hold back from setting your boundaries. Even with bosses or colleagues, be firm where needed.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

There’s a push-pull dynamic today, with the most conscientious side of your nature needing to be aware of another need to be freer and less obligated. Whilst the Sun and Uranus are asking you to stay detailed orientated, ironically, the Moon in Virgo pushes you to stay abreast of wider possibilities. Your gift of being super organised can, though, bridge the gap.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

A playful, flirtatious vibe competes with a heavier, more compulsive one. For example, if you are enjoying dating new people, you may resist anyone’s desire for it to get deeper, too quickly. Or if you are enjoying the company of one special person, you may start to wonder what the true meaning is. If you can, look to stay in the moment and simply enjoy having fun.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Family relationships and emotional dynamics have taken on a more potent dimension over the last month, and although some changes at home could be making your abode roomier and more functional, restlessness may be gripping you or those close to you. Use this weekend to try to talk things through. It will help things to seem more inclusive, which can be powerful.
