New Moon on Monday Astrology

 NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY

By Adeline Leigh

Who’s procrastinating?  The Moon went void in Pisces overnight last night and won’t be moving into Aries until tomorrow evening (5:01 pm pacific daylight time).  That’s almost 40 hours of Moon void - in the very last sign of the zodiac, during a Mercury Retrograde.  It’s not the best weather for starting the workweek off right, at least as far as getting stuff done.  On the other hand, today and tomorrow are perfect for the social stuff.  The Sun, Venus and Mercury are living it up in Leo, forming a tight triple conjunction that’s all about expressing our attraction in generous ways.  Get out there and join the parade.  Wednesday’s all about coming down.  Use any frustration you’re feeling to get back to business.  Venus moves into Virgo on Sunday afternoon, we’re all going to find our ground again.  In the meantime, get ready for a weekend that’s all about indulging your senses.

ARIES

The more you keep moving and getting things right, the more it will become a completely natural habit.  You’ve got it together way more than you realize. Your temper’s still acting up, but you really can just make the choice not to let it get to you.   Stay calm this week and you’ll get through the drama with a crowd of fans behind you, cheering you on.  As much as you’ve been having to drag yourself out of bed these days, you know the hard work will pay off.   That’s why you keep doing it. 

TAURUS 

Remember the Bull in the China Shop.  You’re in for a stellar week with plenty of things going right, but don’t forget to keep an eye out for the rest of us, or you might get too swept up. Include as many people as you can in what you’ve got going on and watch things get even better by the weekend. The Moon in your sign Friday and Saturday makes it a perfect time to get things started.  Venus moving into a fellow earth sign the very next day helps you get your grace back. 

GEMINI

Wait until next week before trying to start anything monumental.  Right now is way more conducive to tying up some well-frayed loose ends. The more you can do that, the more you’ll be able to get your energy back. You’re feeling all sorts of sentimental.  This is a good time for getting to things that have been on the back burner for a while:  clean out that closet, take the piles to the Goodwill, put up the pictures from that party last month.  You might be surprised what memories turn up in the process.

CANCER

Here’s the good news:  after this week, things are going to start to calm down.  Right now, you still have to push your way through some challenges.  Saturn’s stay in Libra has been forcing you to reevaluate what you are and aren’t getting from one of the people you’re closest to.  This is a good time for looking for the hidden potential in that relationship.  The more you can see where your expectations are so high they’re unreasonable, the more you’ll able to see some absolutely genuine value that you weren’t even looking for. 

LEO

The party won’t be winding down until the end of the week.  Live it up for all it’s worth.  You’re still in a place where you’re able to give big things to the people around you as far as support and recognition – keep doing it.  You’ve learned a lot this past year but don’t discount how much you finally understand how to shine from the inside out.  Right now, the more you give to others, the more you’ll be taking away for yourself.  Use your time this week to show off your sympathetic side. 

VIRGO

Head start.  This is a good week to stuff your schedule in preparation for the very busy year you have ahead of you.  The better you can learn to juggle your time, the better you’ll be able to stay on top of it when things really get moving.  Mercury’s hookup with the Sun and Venus is bringing out your social side.  Watch out for one of the best weekends you’ve had so far this year and don’t be afraid to keep things dreamy.  Venus moves into your sign on Sunday afternoon. 

LIBRA 

You’re still in the spotlight, time to show off what you’ve really got.  The people who are looking up to you right now are way more impressed with the parts of you that are truly unique than you even realize.  This week, there’s absolutely no need to try and play yourself up to please anybody else.  The best part is, you’re totally starting to get that for yourself, and that’s helping you learn which strengths you should start sharpening.  Your Venus ruler opposes Neptune over the weekend; watch out for getting washed up in fantasies. 

SCORPIO

The Moon’s time out in a fellow water sign at the beginning of the week could bring some unexpected creative manifestations.  If there’s anything you’re working on, today and tomorrow are excellent for getting to it:  play music, take pictures, write things.  Watch too, for unusual connections with the very strangest people that may very well turn out to be pure serendipity.  Just remember to keep some time for yourself.  Take a step back over the weekend and don’t be ashamed if you let yourself laze the days away.  It’s great weather for recharging. 

 SAGITTARIUS 

You might be put in a position this weekend where you’re forced to take a step back and get some rest – physical, mental or both.  The good news is, that’s after a week full of good opportunities and the best of times.  By all means be out in the world as much as possible, just remember to check in with yourself from time to time.  Give yourself what you need and you’ll have that much more to give to the people all around you.  Next week:  Mercury returns to forward motion and everybody gets back to business. 

CAPRICORN

Keep it practical.  Your best bet is still on yourself.  The more you get sidetracked worrying about what anybody else is doing, the more liable you are to get tangled up in power struggles.  Avoid that if you can, because some people are still feeling fairly aggressive this week. Again, it’s not at all about competition, as much as that’s what someone else is trying to make it out to be.  Venus moves into a fellow Earth sign this Sunday, helping you get your grace back.  Next week: things get grounded again. 

AQUARIUS 

You’re dealing with the end of a chapter, but the only thing you’re really losing is resistance.  You can find more peace this week than you’ve been able to muster for months.  This will help your communication, as well as your constitution.  Even better, you’re finding all sorts of new possibilities in a situation you’ve been reluctant to undertake.  Look to how these new circumstances are affecting your closest relationships.  You’re finding something very true within yourself right now.  It’s a quality that’s always been there, you’re just used to projecting it onto others.   

PISCES

Meditation weather.  The epic Moon Void in your sign that begins the week is good energy for taking a step back to process what you’re going through.  It’s especially important because you’re likely more busy than usual right now, and the more you get in touch with yourself the better you’ll be able to handle your schedule.  If you can clarify for yourself what you really want out of a certain situation, you’ll be that much better at vocalizing it to anybody else involved.  This is especially true when it comes to your closest relationships.
