See how these influences will impact your Rising, Sun, and Moon signs.
Aries
As earthy energy takes center stage, you’re learning why discipline is important and seeing that the hard work you’ve invested over recent months is starting to yield fruitful results. The energy today can feel very romantic and exciting since cosmic forces are playful and encouraging, while also bringing potent transformations when it comes to matters relating to love.

Be open to discussing problems with friends or romantic partners and be willing to tackle the challenging topics you may have avoided.
Taurus
Lunar energy will focus on your home and personal foundation early on, helping you concentrate on pending matters. Home improvement projects take priority during this time, so it’s essential for you to make time for them. The New Moon energy can help you connect with your inner interior decorator. You could surprise yourself with the things you accomplish. It’s also a good time to declutter and allow new energy to flow into your home. You’ll see how that can also change your mindset.
Gemini
As celestial influences ground your energy, you’re going to feel very much connected to home. The stabilizing cosmic energy from the New Moon can help you prepare for the road ahead as you learn to solidify your foundation.

Leo
A time for you to be more cognizant of the people that you work with or if you’re in school, this could be about your fellow classmates. This is a time for you to stay on track and be ready because you are destined to be at the top.

The New Moon in your sign is also a great time to reflect and think things through before making an impulsive decision. Cosmic forces are also a reminder that you should embrace the things that bring you joy.
Libra
Today, you may be more willing to take creative chances because you’re very enthusiastic and cosmic energy is allowing you to progress.

If you desire to travel, having good friends will make these experiences more meaningful. All these opportunities for expansion are presenting themselves during this time and you’re ready to take on this new chapter with more connections and cosmic support for growth.
Sagittarius
There could be an internal struggle during this period as current celestial influences can be quite challenging for you with all the pressure and stress that may be thrown your way. Meditation will be a perfect opportunity for you to get back on track. This is also a good way for you to heal your relationships from the past and present since you will be more mindful of your emotions. Cosmic forces are showing you how there are new potential paths to success and abundance, as long as you don’t lose sight of your goals. The inner work you do will eventually help you flourish in the future.
Capricorn
There may be restlessness during this time, but you’re listening to yourself and learning how to trust yourself. During these moments you’re understanding that you have all the tools needed in order to level up. You may be feeling quite excited for the potential journey as lunar energy encourages you to feel a little romantic when it comes to achieving your dreams, allowing you to romanticize them in order to feel more connected to them. This is also going to be a moment where you’re more creative and optimistic for the opportunities that could present themselves.
Aquarius
Learn how to approach things from a new angle so you don’t feel stagnant. Dynamic cosmic forces and innovative celestial influences are showing you new methods of thinking that will catapult your ideas moving forward. You’re very logical and current energies enhance this, but now is a time for you to measure, make practical plans, and analyze what you want moving forward. You can always brainstorm with someone you respect and the results could surprise you. Rushing is not advised during this time, so make sure to take things easy in order to do them right.
Pisces
Cosmic shifts may feel like a test. You may feel inactive or not motivated to do anything. But your focus should be on creating dynamic new plans that will help you be prepared for upcoming transitions. If a project is not working for you, be open to changing your strategy. Learn to put things on hold and get back to them when you’re feeling a lot more connected to them since you don’t have to finish everything now. Give yourself the time, don’t rush the process.
