New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh

GENERAL FORECAST

It’s fast and furious compared to last week’s long, lazy days.  We might have a hard time catching up at the start: Monday and Tuesday are all about escape and daydreams.  Things pick up by Wednesday when Mercury moves from Libra into the deep waters of Scorpio and Mars lends his energy to Jupiter, the planet that’s all about expansion.  If you’ve been waiting to make a play or a gamble, Wednesday is the best day to try your luck.  Friday’s Full Moon in Aries brings a fiery start to the rest of the weekend:  we could be in for something big and unexpected after the Sun follows Mercury into Scorpio early Saturday morning.  Next week:  back to the love stuff.  

**If you know your Rising Sign, be sure to read for that too!

ARIES

You’re the center of attention.  Whether it’s good or bad publicity depends on how you’ve been playing your cards.  Things will slow down and get back to normal after Friday evening’s Full Moon in your sign.  In the meantime:  face the music.  Midweek’s dance between your Mars ruler and lucky Jupiter could mean an unexpected and very welcome surprise. 

TAURUS

Keep your cool.  A parade of people projecting their own issues onto you could be irritating your normally patient demeanor. The Sun and Mercury’s move into your opposite sign will convince you to confront the problem on your own terms before week’s end. Be extra wary of anybody trying to sell you an easy way out.

GEMINI

You might be flying a little too close to the Sun this week:  you’re overstuffed with big ideas and you want every single one of them to happen Right Now!  You’ll be surprised at just how much your nerves calm down when you choose just one thing to focus on.  Next week: a blast from your romantic past. 

CANCER

Good times and high highs.  The action won’t slow down until after Friday’s Full Moon.  The good news is, it’s working in your favor in unexpected ways all over the place.  Use the energy while you have it and you’ll be able to get all caught up or even ahead.  Next week, it’s all about the respite. 

LEO

The days have been dragging and you’re starting to get behind on everything from your studies to your social life. It’s not easy to find, but the discipline’s there.  Use the week to cross as much as you can off your to-do list before Friday’s Full Moon in Aries.  More fire energy in the sky means more support for you as soon as next week.

VIRGO

This is the week you find your words again.  Or, more accurately, the right words.  This will be of huge benefit to others as well as yourself. You might be asked to play a key part in somebody’s big transition when your Mercury ruler moves into Scorpio.  Remember, you have something to contribute. It’s all about shared resources for the rest of the month.

LIBRA

Libra loves to be social but right now you’re feeling more like crowded.  You’re constantly expected to be three places at once, and using daydreams to escape the grind.  Find another way to multi-task.  Any details you skip this week are likely to come back to haunt you at a later date.  Everything slows down after Friday’s Full Moon in your opposite sign. 

SCORPIO

Happy Birthday!  The Sun chases Mercury into your sign by the end of the week, joining Venus and Mars for the biggest celebration you’ve had in ages.  You’ll dig the benefits, even if you’re not sure how you feel about all the attention.  Lots of Mars activity in the sky gives you copious amounts of energy all week long:  make sure and keep it constructive. 

SAGITTARIUS

You’ve been wondering what happened to all of your energy and this is the week you’ll find your reserves. Thankfully, you won’t be feeling as languid as you have been lately for the rest of the year.  Friday’s Full Moon in a fellow fire sign could have you dealing with something intense and unexpected.  You’ll be on your feet and ready for whatever you have to handle. 

CAPRICORN

Blame it on the Full Moon.  You’re trying to get things done but the people you’re working with can’t seem to take anything seriously.  Thankfully the Sun’s move into Scorpio enables you to push your temper down a bit, ore even bury it.  Don’t worry:  as much as they’re good for distraction, you’ll be the one getting all the credit at the project’s end. 

AQUARIUS

At least you won’t be bored.  The Full Moon in Aries amps up the action while more planets moving into Scorpio means confronting some sticky situations.  The rest of the year brings the tail end of Neptune’s sojourn through your sign.  Hopefully you’ve learned something about attachment and what you need vs. what you absolutely don’t. 

PISCES

You’re super sensitive to the pressure everybody else is under.  This is always true for Pisces but this week, it could start making you angry.  Learn to be creative with that energy and you’ll start to learn how to temper your penchant for escapism.  Someone needs your active help and you’ll be amazed at what pitching in does for your own constitution.
