New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh 

The planets are being particularly quiet.  Only the Moon makes any contacts, until Friday night, when the Sun moves into Leo.  This could make for a super long, drawn-out week that seems to take forever, or we can use the space to be creative.  After whatever got stirred up for you during last month’s eclipse season, you’re probably ready to take a break and lighten things up a bit. This is a good time for all of us to do that, as long as we remember to keep our eyes on the road.  Mercury will be turning retrograde in two weeks, so it’s time to start paying extra attention to details.  Watch out for a challenging end to the workweek, but plan on a decadent weekend that’s all about rejuvenation.  Next week: the New Moon in Leo.

ARIES

You might be picking fights.  You’re looking for some action this week, trying to get absolutely anyone to bite.  Watch out for letting old habits get the best of you, but don’t forget where you’re coming from.  You’ve learned some brand new, much more productive moves in the past few months and you’re about to get tested on them.  Remember how you might have done things before, and then look for the more creative solution.  The Sun’s move into a fellow fire sign will enable you to get your good energy back by the weekend.

TAURUS 

Big talking.  Pay attention to what you promise this week and make sure you have the evidence to prove your case.  You’re trying to convince someone of something, and being challenged to find the resources to do so.  It’s as simple as figuring out why you’re pushing so hard for this outcome in particular.  That’s of course not as easy as it sounds, but it’s still all about discerning what you value most and really want for yourself. Once you’re sure of that, you might be surprised how much you’re actually willing to compromise. 

GEMINI  

You’re overflowing with gumption, and this is a good week for using that motivation to focus on whatever you’ve been putting off at home.  As Mars finishes up his tour of your sign you’re able to find the time and energy to complete all sorts of chores and errands.  This is extra lucky, since your Mercury ruler is preparing to turn retrograde.  Tie up loose ends, finish half done projects, and find a place for everything.  You’ll be glad you did.  The rest of the summer won’t leave any room for slowing down. 

CANCER

Take some time out.  You’ve been going full steam ahead for weeks.  Even if you haven’t had an overbooked schedule, your thoughts have been racing by so fast it’s just as exhausting as any physical activity.  You more than deserve to take a step back and spend some quality time alone right now.  You’ll be able to get a much clearer perspective on what’s in and out of your control as soon as you detach yourself from the situation.  Once you can see that, you’ll also be seeing some potentials you weren’t paying attention to before. 

LEO  

A confrontation this week is all about showing you a side of yourself you’re not always willing to see.  Try to look at the entire situation from another person’s perspective and you’re liable to become aware of something you’ve been doing all along.  The good news is, it’s not necessarily something you have to change.  As long as you can accept that this behavior is a product of who you are and where you come from, you’ll be able to use the energy in a creative way, rather than being ashamed of it. 

VIRGO

Navigation becomes trickier as your Mercury ruler slows down in preparation for another retrograde season. Mercury will be playing tug of war with Neptune for the next three weeks.  Neptune is the planet that’s all about blurring the boundaries, so this could leave you dealing with an added dose of miscommunication and misplaced memories.  Slow down and remain reasonable.  If you’re open to them, this time could bring some astounding revelations as well.  Pay attention to what’s right more than what’s wrong right now, and you’ll start to make some sense of things. 

LIBRA

There are a couple of ways to deal with this week’s drama.  The first involves going superficial, detaching as much as possible, and making sure to keep it cordial.  That will separate you from the problem, but it might not help you solve it. The other option involves facing the situation head on so you can understand what it’s actually trying to teach you.  It’s all about being authentic.  Try to see the difference between the face you show the world and who you are down deep.  Right now, it’s way more about being real.  

SCORPIO

Choose your own adventure.  Synchronicity and lucky encounters can be found all over the place this week; it’s as easy as stepping outside your door.  If you feel like doing exactly the opposite, remember this:  the more you can open up your circle of friends right now, the more resources you’ll have at your disposal.  Shutting yourself in will only limit you.  The people you meet right now can lead you directly to the thing you’ve been looking for.  Make it a point to find your way out into the world, and just see what happens next. 

SAGITTARIUS  

The power of the positive perspective.  Sagittarius knows more than anybody how much every situation is all about what we make of it.  Right now, you’re making the absolute most of everything just to set a good example for the rest of us.  That’s the right thing to do because not only is it teaching everybody about getting the best things for ourselves when we expect them, it’s also teaching you how to think that way for yourself all over again.  Keep playing the part and you’ll be feeling like yourself again in no time. 

CAPRICORN

Pay attention to your dreams.  There are a million potentials you might not be letting yourself see right now.  The problem is, you’re dealing mostly with practicalities and there are plenty of options that have a lot more to do with intuition.  Look for clues when you’re feeling the most relaxed, and remember, the only way out is through.  The more you let yourself get tangled up in worry over the worst possible outcomes, the less you’ll be able to push ahead.  Let yourself believe in bigger ideas this week, and you’ll gain good ground. 

AQUARIUS

Take what you’ve learned and go with it. Confrontations over the next several weeks will be testing your newfound ability to stand your ground while still keeping your confidence.  Remember:  your own, very strong sense of individuality is still your most valuable inner resource. Adjusting it from time to time doesn’t make you inauthentic; it just helps other people acclimate.  The more you can prove that being different doesn’t always mean being difficult, the more others around you will start showing their sincere side right back. 

PISCES

The next several weeks are full of creative potential, but also the tendency to get stuck in fantasies.  Use the energy for forging ahead with any kind of project where you’re building something creative whether it’s art, food, or music.  But remember to put your real-world head back on when you’re taking care of the practical stuff, or you could find yourself stuck in the mire of miscommunication.  Make sure you’re hearing the full story, (as well as telling it) in any important conversation right now.  Misconceptions are liable to become exacerbated in ways nobody was anticipating.
