New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh

GENERAL FORECAST:

This morning’s trine between Venus and Mars in sensual Earth signs is still bringing out the sexual tension.  Who’s feeling it?  The rest of the week is a build up to the planet Uranus’s return to forward motion at the first degree of Aries Thursday night, which is almost immediately followed by the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini.  Between Mercury Retrograde, a Full Moon Eclipse and the planet Uranus, that’s a whole lot of weirdness and activity going on in the atmosphere.  At the very least, we’re living through interesting times.  Pay attention.  Find a way to record what’s going on in your story.  Next week: Mercury turns Direct and a square between Venus and Saturn puts some brakes on the love stuff.

ARIES

Venus the grace has been handing your Mars ruler feel-good vibes all weekend.  Today is the day to use whatever boost that’s given you to go ahead and ask for what you want.  With the revolutionary planet Uranus preparing to return to forward motion at the threshold of your sign, you’re nothing if not antsy.  That’s a good thing, as long as you use the buzz to propel yourself forward and absolutely not for getting tangled up in any kind of what-ifs or drama.  Play your cards right and you’ll see results by the weekend. 

TAURUS

Tuesday and Wednesday are your green light days. That means perfect timing for scheduling appointments, making new acquaintances, and going for things you’re normally fairly shy about.  You’re embarking on a new stage that’s all about the expansion of your circumstances.  Any good seeds you’re planting now will be sprouting wildly in the New Year. The trick is in keeping your trademark patience and staying careful and aware - even when it seems like nobody’s watching.  Any missteps could come back to haunt you by next weekend.  Do the right thing. 

GEMINI

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your sign happens early Saturday morning but chances are, you’re already feeling the vibes starting to build.  Mars in Virgo has been pushing some buttons and challenging you to finally make some changes you’ve been lazy about lately.  But you’re about to see you’re being forced into good places, where you’re actually meant to be.  Now is the time to push the strongest, surest parts of yourself and see how well the rest of us react.  Next week: your Mercury ruler returns to forward motion and everything really starts moving. 

CANCER

This week’s Full Moon Eclipse is helping you master some lessons.  Watch out for being overshadowed, and if that happens, don’t let it get your goat.  The planet Uranus’s about face in a challenging Cardinal sign is bringing the significant possibility of surprises, but luckily for you, you’ve been honing what you need for the scenario for months now.  Access your strengths and you’ll pass any pop quiz with flying colors.  The best part is, things keep getting better from here on out.  Sunday, especially, is the kind of day where everything goes your way. 

LEO

Access your rebel-savior side.  All of the action going on in your fellow fire signs is brining you big inspiration at the very least, but more importantly some awesome, if atypical revelations.  These likely have everything to do with how you’re affecting the people you work intimately with every single day.  Use the Full Moon weekend to test out any new theories, and watch them work like magic.  You’re about to see just how well being completely yourself liberates everyone around you to do exactly the same.  And that’s making all of you feel better. 

VIRGO

Hopefully, you’ve been allowing yourself some distractions over the weekend.  It’s been an important respite before the very active week you have ahead.  Virgo is all about consistency and being prepared.  But the energy right now is anything but predictable. As much as that’s taking you for a wild ride, planets in your fellow Earth signs are giving you all the support you need to keep your feet on the ground.  The less you focus on how annoying all the last minute changes can be, the more you’ll start seeing the adventure behind them. 

LIBRA

You’ve been enjoying a rad streak of popularity lately, don’t let anybody else’s turn in the spotlight affect you personally.  You’re about to be confronted with other people’s strong opinions and individual streaks.  The good news is, this will only be disarming if you let it.  Use the weekend’s Full Moon in a fellow Air sign to look at all the ways you’ve learned to stand strong on your own, in order to be the viable half of a partnership.  And then remember, the other side needs to show it off from time to time too.

SCORPIO

Coming back down.  Use the relatively quiet space between now and Thursday to take care of any mundane errands, housework, and whatever business you need to do on your own.  It’s good weather for getting caught up, and that’s exactly what you’ll want to be by this weekend, when there will be plenty of interesting situations to get involved in.  You’re about to be hearing a lot of other people’s secrets.  But it’s important to remember that everything you’re hearing about now has something to teach you about yourself.  Use it wisely.   

SAGITTARIUS 

The Full Moon Eclipse in your opposite sign has you stressing what’s going wrong in your relationship (or any lack of relationship).  It’s important to remember that you see what you focus on, and what you focus on is up to you.  You have every ability right now to get past whatever mini-dramas hold you back from what you really want to be doing – but it’s up to you to make that your intention.  With the planet Uranus freshly forward in a fellow Fire sign, you’ll be finding it much easier to start thinking ahead. 

CAPRICORN

The planet Uranus moving from (apparent) reverse to forward motion in a challenging sign could bring some sudden circumstances out of the blue.  That’s not by any means a bad thing – as long as you’re prepared for some surprises.  Keep the ones you know best close to your heart and think about all you’ve learned since powerful Pluto entered your sign in 2008.  You’re about to enter a chapter that, albeit unpredictable, helps you make the very most of those lessons.  Next week:  Venus asks you to prove it to the people you love most. 

AQUARIUS

Wait for something to happen this weekend that opens the floodgates and gets everything moving.  Most of all, try to remember that’s what you’ve been waiting for.  The planet Uranus that rules you has been stalling in retrograde since early July.  That’s when you started to make some big adjustments that you’re just now beginning to acclimate to.  But new developments to the plot probably have you unsure about what you should really be striving for.  You’re about to have the kind of epiphany that helps you completely get where your next energies should be placed. 

PISCES

Don’t be afraid to show your boldest colors.  Saturday morning’s Full Moon Eclipse is bringing the climax to all sorts of situations.  You’re about to see how they’re all connected, as well as how one quick fix can make the difference in many parts of your life.  With Mean Mars taking an extended tour of your opposite sign, chances are good you’re dealing with more than your fair share of outside confrontations.  The more you reacquaint yourself with your very strongest assets, the less all that’s gonna get to you in the coming months.
