New Moon on Monday Astrology

NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh

All the world’s a stage.  There’s a lot more action in the coming days with Venus and Mercury both changing signs just before Saturday’s New Moon.  Look for unpredictable shifts, especially in romantic circumstances, and make sure you’re really hearing what you think you are in every important conversation.  Mercury will be turning retrograde a week from Tuesday, and in opposition to the planet Neptune for several days before and after.  That’s great weather for daydreams, but also getting lost in them.  Mercury opposing Neptune can also mean a whole lot of foggy, even dishonest communications.  Double-check the facts.  The good news is, most of us will be making nice this week.  But nice doesn’t have to mean humble.  Venus joining the Sun in Leo just before the weekend makes it a good time for all of us to show off what we’ve got.

ARIES

Do what you’re best at.  You’ve got some exciting possibilities coming your way, and if you can use the enthusiasm to begin moving toward them, you’ll be able to discipline yourself in ways that get you everywhere.  Just make sure it’s genuine.  Right now is a lot more about improving the things you already have naturally and not at all about putting on airs to convince the rest of us.  Saturday’s New Moon in a fellow fire sign is a great time to get something started. Even the smallest gestures will count.   

TAURUS 

Use your imagination.  Something you’ve recently been given has way more benefits than you can see so far.  Find your creativity and your confidence, and you’ll find yourself overcoming things that have been stilting you for weeks.  Your other option is to stay on the down low and wait any problems out, but there are plenty of ways to start making your circumstances better immediately, as long as you let yourself see them.  Here’s a hint:  it’s a lot about using something you’ve already got in a way you haven’t thought about before. 

GEMINI 

Don’t sell yourself short.   As much as you feel like giving in to the circumstances around you right now, you’re ignoring all the resources you have at your disposal, as well as your support system.  You’re going to get the thing you’re striving for.  It might not manifest for you when you were expecting it to, and it might come in a completely surprising disguise, but you still have plenty of options for making it happen.  Saturday’s New Moon in a friendly sign is the perfect place to start taking a fresh step forward. 

CANCER 

Be ready for anything.  You might be asked to take the lead when you absolutely weren’t expecting to.  The tricky part comes with not taking it too seriously.  You already know what you need to do, and of course you’ll do it well.  Take care of the big picture this week, and try to keep your eyes off of the superficial details.   You’ll be surprised at how efficient you can be. Next week: Mars enters your sign for a seven-week stay, helping you get your gumption (and maybe your grumpiness) back. 

LEO

Happy Birthday!  Venus enters your sign just in time for the Leo New Moon and you’re all about showing off your pretty side.  You’ll have opportunities at every turn right now to make your mark on the world.  Even better, you’ll be able to find ways to share what you’re finding with friends from every corner of your life.  Know you can create whatever you want for yourself this year, and start creating it.  It’s as simple as that.  Anything you’re letting go of right now is all about making space for something even better. 

VIRGO

Mercury enters your sign for a ten-day stay on Thursday.  The planet that rules you will turn Retrograde next week and move back into Leo for the better part of August.  Right now is good not so much for moving ahead with things you’ve been planning, but for taking a closer look at those specific plans.  Reorganize, reconsider, rework.  You have a good month to perfect the details before you can start moving completely ahead.  This week is perfect for coming back to whatever loose ends you’ve been putting off.  Pay attention to your intuition. 

LIBRA 

Shine on you crazy diamond.  You’ve got plenty of opportunity to step out and show the rest of us how far you’ve come, as long as you realize that for yourself.  You’ve been learning the hard lessons for longer than you can remember, but you’re starting to see how they’ve taken you to a stronger place.  This week is the time to start using that foundation, more than just thinking about how much has changed.  Your Venus ruler moves into Leo territory just before this weekend’s New Moon in Leo, helping you access your shiny side.    

SCORPIO

You’re starting to see some beyond positive results.  Look around you right now and you’ll begin to realize how many things are absolutely starting to come true for you.   As much as you’ve still got some hurdles to cross, you’re more ready than you’ve ever been.  Take inventory this week, of everything that’s on the right track, and start making plans to correct what’s not.  You’ve got more time than you think you do to build this situation right.  The more you focus on the small stuff right now, the faster you’ll be able to get there.

SAGITTARIUS 

Your turn.  Whatever’s going on for you is set in motion, it’s not changing anytime soon, and it’s time for you to take control of the situation.  That sounds scary, but it’s really just asking the questions you’ve been meaning to ask, and deciding what you’ll do with the answers.  You’ve been putting it off for far too long, mainly from the fear of responsibility.   It might help to know that the more you show your authority this week, the more admiration you’ll get from exactly the person you’ve been trying to impress. 

CAPRICORN

You expect the best from yourself, that’s a given. But is that particular “best” based on your terms, or what you think the rest of us expect?  This week, it’s more about remembering the standards you’ve set for yourself than keeping up with any sort of Jones.   There are plenty of improvements still to be made, but keep it positive. Write a list of still to-do’s, and give yourself room to appreciate what you’ve already accomplished.  Knowing for sure what you’ve done well is the best way to be confident in what you’re about to do. 

AQUARIUS

Here’s where everything you’ve been going through starts to pay off.  You’re in for a week full of good times and gumption and getting things done.  Use it to start making the most of this summer, but make sure not to do it alone.  The New Moon in your opposite sign is always a good time for making fresh intentions toward your most important relationships. You’re about to find a brand new way of doing things that brings you closer to the people you really love than you’ve ever been before. 

PISCES

Pay attention to your day-to-day world, especially any one on one conversations.  The more you can be objective about what you’re hearing, seeing and saying, the less susceptible you’ll be to anybody else’s negative vibes.  There’s a lot going on all around you but now is the time to concentrate on taking care of your own business, without letting anybody else’s trip you up.  The thing about words is they can be taken about a million ways.  Don’t react to anything you’re told this week until you have the time to make some sense of it.
