New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh

Happy New Moon!  The New Moon in Libra happens overnight tonight (at 4:09 am pacific daylight time) or early tomorrow morning, depending on where you’re reading from.  Mercury isn’t far behind the Sun/Moon conjunction, and all three are exactly opposite the planet Uranus in Aries, the sign that always wants to be startin’ something.  That means things still haven’t been settled yet.  Pluto’s cornering the whole configuration from Capricorn and Venus is almost knocking on Saturn’s door.  That means we’re in for some cold, hard reality.  There’s a sort of sexy undertone to the whole week, but that’s a lot about trying to distract ourselves from the rest of it.  Keep things as consistent and as confident as you can. That said, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it – a square between Mars and Jupiter on Sunday is pushing all of us to push things a little too far. This is a pretty packed New Moon, and a great time to make some powerful intentions, especially any that have to do with balance, because that’s what Libra’s all about.

ARIES 

Don’t push your limits.  You’ve got so much you want to accomplish this week that you might be scattering your energy.  Make the effort to organize your thoughts and you’ll be that much more successful at whatever you choose to make a priority.  Even better, you’ll feel more in control of yourself - as well as your environment.  The New Moon, Mercury and Venus in Libra are all opposing the planet Uranus in your sign this week.  Here’s where you surprise us all by keeping your cool and proving you’ve gained some authority. 

TAURUS  

Go ahead and hold out.  Taurus is all about quality over quantity, and settling for anything that doesn’t quite live up to your standards will only confirm you’re losing some fairly important faith.  Your Venus ruler’s hookup with Saturn isn’t so much about stopping you in your tracks as it is encouraging you to wait for the situation that you know is right.  You’re beyond capable, no matter how down you might be feeling. Mars in Leo could have you seething inside – focus on what you want, instead of what’s disappointing you. 

GEMINI 

You’re a charmer.  Tomorrow’s New Moon is enabling you to make a fresh start in the way everybody remembers you.  Never mind what’s happened in the past, you’ve got the chance right now to replace first impressions with a brand new demeanor, the kind that lets us all know you’re completely in charge.  Whatever challenges you face this week, remember that your personality is completely capable of getting you through.  Not to say you should take gambles.  This new persona has everything to do with staying grounded.  You’re about to reap some way more grown up rewards. 

CANCER 

You’re going to be challenged to find some resources, but it’s as simple as figuring out where things need to be reorganized.  This can mean literal reorganization, like shifting your budget or your time around – or it can be figurative, like shifting your focus or attention.  Either way, once you’re aware of the need to do so, you’ll find the entire process more rewarding than challenging when all is said and done.  It’s still all about being around people.  Use tonight’s New Moon to share a celebration with those closest to you.  You’ll be glad you did.   

LEO 

This week it’s your dreams that give you the most inspiration.  Write them down if you can. And don’t be afraid to face any dark subjects that might come up, they’re there because they need some attention.  You’re ready to do some good hard work that’s all about building a stable foundation for the thing you want to create.  This is true whether it’s an artistic venture, a new relationship, or a new way of relating with yourself.  Mars in your sign helps you put your most productive foot forward, as long as you choose to do so.  

VIRGO 

Mind your methods.  Your example will be helping the rest of us through some tangled situations in the coming days.  You know there’s plenty of places where your assistance is needed, but you should also know that it’s ok to ask for back up support.  This time around, you’re ready to lead the way.  The more you can do that this week, the more you’ll get accomplished for everyone involved.  Don’t be afraid of the attention.  Keep being your calm, careful self – but don’t hesitate to let people know that you’re the one in charge. 

LIBRA 

Happy Birthday!  This next year is all about learning to know yourself even better.  The first step in that process is taking inventory of what you’ve already begun to understand so far.  Think about the challenges and blocks you’ve gotten through since 2008, and how they’ve ultimately changed you for the better.  With Saturn in your sign, this is a big theme for you right now. The more you can remember it, the more you’ll be able to work it.  The more you can work it, the less liable you’ll be to get lost in escapist tendencies. 

SCORPIO 

You’re starting to pick up on even more subtleties than usual, and that’s helping you make connections that speed up the process. Watch for an opportunity this week to show just how well you’re paying attention.  This may come in the form of a challenge that tests where you’re putting your loyalties.  Be honest and don’t sell yourself (or anybody else) short, and you’ll pass with flying colors.  Staying faithful will pay off in some pretty big ways.  You’re about to be given a lot more responsibility, a promotion of sorts, in your current circumstances. 

SAGITTARIUS  

You’re frustrated by a lack of motion in your life right now, but it’s up to you to start moving in the first place.  Watch out for putting energy in all the wrong places.  The minute you start pushing that same energy outward in productive ways you’ll feel (and see) a difference.  Use tomorrow’s New Moon to make some intentions that have to do with being kinder to yourself, but also a lot more involved with other people.  As soon as you put yourself back in the center of the action, you’ll start responding to it in all the right ways.  

CAPRICORN 

Read for last week.  The New Moon in Libra is reinforcing the same theme of balance all week long, especially when it comes to your closest relationships.   Watch for a challenge in the coming days that’s all about letting something minor slide in order to get the big win.  Make the effort to talk to your people on the personal end about the time you need for the work stuff and you’ll be amazed how creative you can be about compromising.  Even better, this will become the new standard of communication, improving things for everyone involved. 

AQUARIUS 

Push the energy outward.  It’s likely that any aggression you’re dealing with right now is actually coming from the inside.  Look for the source.  Even better, try to use what you’re feeling to push ahead in the outside world, rather than letting it come back to get you.  The more you can take charge and pay attention to your own ups and downs, the less pressure you’ll be feeling.  The New Moon in a fellow air sign is the perfect place to start making some fresh steps forward.  Don’t shut yourself in, or back. 

PISCES 

Number one rule this week: don’t lose track of what you’re trying to maintain for yourself!  There’s a good chance of running into a very delicious distraction.  This isn’t something you should avoid so much as something you should really consider before taking it too seriously.  Have as much fun as possible, but don’t let anything shine so bright it blinds you to the things you’ve already set in motion for yourself.  Right now there’s a big difference between glitter and gold.  The more you remember that, the better your strategy.
