New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh

Things are getting exciting - now it’s up to all of us to make sure they don’t just get out of hand.  Last week’s opposition between Venus and Jupiter is echoed today by Mercury as it rushes to catch up with the planet of love and grace in the deep dark waters of Scorpio.  Jupiter is the force that exaggerates everything it comes into contact with.  In opposition to Venus last week, it brought values and attraction to the surface in a big way.  In opposition to Mercury now, it will really get people talking.  Mars and the Moon in Leo just before the weekend means they’ll probably be showing off as well.  The Sun makes a friendly trine to Neptune on Friday, putting a dreamy spin on the entire week.  Daydreams and reverie are absolutely called for, but be on the lookout for where you might be deluding yourself.   The Sun’s move into Scorpio on Sunday makes the season of shadows official.  Next week: the brand New Moon.

ARIES

Practice your craft.  Now is a good time to put some effort into any course of study or sharpening things. You’ve got more focus and patience for building up a solid foundation, and that’s exactly what you want to do before taking any kind of impulsive action.  Slowing down is never intuitive for Aries, but this week you’ll find it easier to do.  Even better, you know it will pay off in very big ways.  You’re about to enter a season that brings some major opportunities, and you want to be prepared for them.   

TAURUS 

You’re more ready than ever before to stay committed to what you’ve decided to pursue, but that could have you being way too hard on yourself, if not other people.  Watch out too, for using self-deprecation as a form of very potent procrastination this week.  Try to be creative about seeing where your strengths are, and what you might be projecting.  There’s a good chance the thing that’s attracting you so much about someone else is really all about the energy that you are putting out.   Don’t be afraid to talk yourself up a little. 

GEMINI

Now that you’re starting to see the benefits of keeping up with your commitments, it’s getting way easier.  You’re absolutely surrounded by people this week, and chances are, picking up on a lot more things you can do to make their days much better.  The best part is, that’s helping your days get better too.  Make the intention to keep it up.  Things are about to start happening even faster in your day-to-day world.  Be ready for situations where you might be asked to take the lead and remember:  it always helps to be entertaining. 

CANCER

Just start moving.  Even if you’re feeling weighed down or all sorts of stressed out – the remedy is as easy as taking some action.  If the problem is that you can’t decide which course of action to take, know that it’s more about getting started than anything else.  You’re able to accomplish whatever you put your mind to this week – don’t waste it seesawing between what ifs.  Watch for immediate (and maybe even big) results as soon as this Sunday.  Next Week: the New Moon in a fellow Water sign – things get more simpatico. 

LEO

It’s not so much about being an imposition as it is about figuring out how you best fit in.  This is a good time for not only taking inventory of what you can bring to the table, but also for categorizing those resources.  There are certain traits you need to learn to share with others, but don’t forget about what you need to keep for yourself – the things that sustain you.  Then there’s your basic creativity, your nature, which is both.  Thursday and Friday are perfect for anything you’ve been trying to initiate. 

VIRGO

Don’t go hiding back in your shell just yet.  You’re in the process of compromising with someone else in a way that brings both sides a brand new kind of satisfaction.  Keep taking steps in the direction of whatever got started last week and you’ll soon have a much clearer vision of exactly where it is you’re trying to go together.  Be careful about it, and mind your method, and remember things don’t have to be absolutely perfect right this very minute.  You’re about to have the kind of weekend where everything goes your way.

LIBRA

The trick is as easy as keeping it simple.  Watch out for over-complicating things this week, especially places and people who are merely serving as things to be enjoyed right now.  Sometimes, it doesn’t need to be anything more than that.  The more you start to see this for yourself, the more you’ll be able to apply that understanding to all sorts of situations and transcend things you might have thought would be haunting you forever.  You’ve been forced into following the rules for a while now, but you’re about to see some absolutely epic benefits. 

SCORPIO

Get ready to be surrounded by friendly faces for a while as the Sun prepares to initiate your birthday season.  The coming days are bringing all sorts of what you’ve been waiting for to be, as well as a new sense of establishing yourself. Don’t discount what you’ve done to get ready for this and how much you’ve learned about cooperation.  If you’re feeling reluctant about things getting more social, it’s important to realize that you’re only trying to protect yourself.  Keep remembering how well you’ve turned a certain vulnerability into a very treasured strength. 

SAGITTARIUS 

Too big for your britches.  Now’s a good time to remember that things can’t always be as exciting as you want them to, sometimes you have to find it for yourself.  Trying to see an adventure in even the most mundane of tasks this week will pay off way more than settling for bored.  Even better, it will help you feel things go a thousand times faster.  You’ll be proving how well you can weather the big stuff as soon as next week.  By then you’ll even be grateful for this week’s break in the action. 

CAPRICORN 

You’ve got more space to work in than you have for a while.  Get to it, just remember to hold on to all you’ve learned about balancing your time over the last few weeks.  You’re more concerned than usual right now about your resources but it’s important to realize that certain relationships are resources too.  Keep paying as much attention as possible to the people who really matter.  Even better, start noticing all the ways they’re making your life easier too.  You’re about to have a long string of days where things get smoother, but wait until Thursday to make any big moves. 

AQUARIUS

Talk your way through.  You feel like you don’t have enough of something to get yourself where you’re trying to go.  Whether that’s cash, creativity, or confidence depends on your specific situation.  In any case, don’t let it zap your ambition.  The more you can connect with the people around you right now, the more you’ll start to see that you have everything you need.  The only catch is that you have to really dig deep.  Find the courage to go farther in conversations and confrontations – it’s absolutely not the time to keep it superficial. 

PISCES

Read for last week.  Now that you’ve learned to discern between what’s yours and what’s not (as far as vibes go), you’re ready to get back to trusting your intuition, which at the moment, happens to be even stronger than usual. Now is the time to practice using your best judgment in every single circumstance.  You’ll be seeing way past the surface of things this week, but it’s a lot more about gathering information than it is about taking any action.  Start making plans to get things started as soon as next week’s New Moon.
