Aries
You might not know if you’re coming or going today Aries, as the Moon in Pisces opposes Venus in Virgo. You perhaps need to find the sweet spot between what you want and what you need, emphasising whimsy or healing paths, and practical steps that are healthy, moderate and sensible. You’re known as a wild child, impulsive and heady, yet you could now find you’re comfortable with a steady, sensible pace. Reconcile dreams and wistful plans that allow you to connect with a safety net, while also investing time or money in a practice that keep you on track in a conscious, considered sense.

Taurus
Connect to your wider circle of friends, teammates and the group today, going out of your way to communicate. You might participate in society, while also honouring your own happiness and sources of inspiration or joy – including children! The Moon passes through Pisces, while your ruling planet Venus is grounded in earthy Virgo. Try to carve out time for the things and people that are important to you, yet balance what you want and desire with what’s important to everyone. There may be a partner you’re supporting, and a community that’s beckoning. Hear the call to engage, and come together.

Gemini
There might now be a strong identification with your role or financial position, Gemini, with the job you’re in, and how you broach your values or material life. Sense how you to relate to your public image or profile, and conversely your inner landscape. Both are touched on, as the Moon moves through the top of your chart, while Venus is grounded at its base. Find a happy medium, allowing space to accept growth experienced professionally, or in reaching toward your goals. Gain confidence in your capabilities, while also appreciating the potential for security or stability within, if you can let go.

Cancer
Notice where your attention flows today, Cancer, as you could be vacillating between wanderlust and your perspective on the world or your adventures, versus tending to close friends, staying local. A dreamy Pisces Moon guides you to experience illustrious plans, while a Virgo Moon encourages you to be present with those around you. Try to get a good mix, broadening your outlook with a nod to your knowledge or specialism, while still being present, relatable and connected. It may be important to get to know members of your community a little better, feet on the ground.

Leo
It’s possible you’re able to acknowledge where you require help today, another person’s input, or alternatively where you’re able to be self-sufficient, capable of operating solo! The stars touch on your personal resources and values, but also on what’s jointly held, and where you’re irrevocably involved with others. Note where you’re in agreement, attuned to what’s owed, been borrowed, lent or given freely, and your expectations or current thinking that allows you to rely on others, versus going it alone. You might be inclined to get on the same page, yet also be keen to prove something independently.

Virgo
As the Moon moves through your sector of intimate relationships, you could be in need of a partner, be they romantic or platonic, a loved one, friend or creative collaborator. Significant others might lead you to be involved in community networks, so that you’re thinking of your social scene, or a group setting. Meanwhile, Venus appears in your sign, so you could be keen to learn more about yourself, cultivating self-knowledge or independent experiences. Find the sweet spot, expressing ideas, while also allowing another person to guide you to be a part of something bigger than you both.

Libra
Developments around your career path, title or public profile and reputation could be apparent now, Libra. However, today could pull you towards two different ways of working. A Pisces Moon might guide you to be conscious of systems, practices or a schedule that allows you to be in flow – taking care of your health, daily life or regular employment and rituals. Meanwhile, Venus in your zone of unconscious habits and healing could bring about challenges and reason to practice patience. An inclination to disconnect, retreat or process in solitude could find you turning inward – both methods likely lead you to success.

Scorpio
Lean toward cherished people, plans to make yourself happy, or acknowledge how you feel satisfied and satiated today, Scorpio. The Moon moves through watery Pisces and your sector of love, pleasure, hobbies, kids and joy, making it a time to connect to your desires – or something that makes you smile. As Venus travels through opposite sign Virgo, there might also be strength in numbers. A community project or your network could find you keen to engage. Look to team up with one special person that stands out in a crowd, aware of your needs and what feels good.

Sagittarius
It’s a time of the month to nest, rest and lean on others, Sagittarius. As it’s Sunday, be sure to take full advantage of today’s Pisces Moon, glowing in your home and family sector. Take it easy, cook, replenish, and gaze around at your residence or base. Conversely, you could also be enjoying the way you come off, your public image, career profile or ways you’re seen in a position of prominence, as Venus treks through Virgo and your house of fame, accomplishment and success. Find comfort around your roots, and check in with your goals, reputation or where you’re headed.

Capricorn
Give yourself an opportunity to gather your thoughts and engage with the world today Capricorn. As the Moon moves through Pisces, notice where you feel understood by the people around you, and perhaps a significant other. Venus adds an exciting dimension, encouraging you to make discoveries about the world, a partner, and yourself. It’s possible you’re able to be receptive and openminded, taking a leap in matters of the heart, perhaps enjoying another perspective on life or global issues. Blend adventure with what you’ve come to understand and connect to, revisiting important ideas or opinions.

Aquarius
Although it’s Sunday, you may be tuned-in to your financial position, your assets, your personal values and how you keep on earning, making a living, or proving yourself useful, Aquarius. The Moon moves through Pisces, while Mercury touches on general maintenance, health and upkeep. Notice what you’ve learnt about staying on top of things, productive around means of employment or your wellbeing. You might also be conscious of the contribution made by others, financial or otherwise, and can look to a partners input, what they bring to the table. It’s possible you needn’t handle it all.

Pisces
Make a conscious decision to enjoy your Sunday, Pisces. The Moon travels through your sign, while Mercury gives you permission to play, create, romance yourself or be indulgent. As Venus moves through your opposite sign, a close friend or partner can partake in the good times too! However, you might be the one to connect and initiate, so call on others and share ideas that bring about laughter and happiness. You’ve likely learned a great deal about what it is you truly desire, so lean into hobbies, pleasurable experiences, a holiday spirit, and smile as you fill your cup.
