Aries
The Moon enters Taurus and your second house of personal finances today, forming challenging aspects as Mercury goes direct in your partnership zone. Guard against mixing personal and business relationships today, as money is likely to be a sore spot. Your values may be more conservative than those of your associates, which may cause friction.
Taurus
The Moon cruises into Taurus and your first house of personality today, helping you to get into high gear. You'll ooze charm, so don't hesitate to ask for what you want. Express yourself with confidence, even in the face of opposition. There may be hurdles to overcome with Mercury stationary direct, but with classic Taurean persistence you can reach your goals.
Gemini
Slow down as the Moon moves through sensual Taurus and your twelfth house of secrets and solitude, marking the beginning of your lunar low cycle. With Merc stationary in your house of fun, this is the perfect time to leave work early and see a movie. A little escape never hurt anyone. Recharge your spiritual batteries by spending time doing what you want to do!
Cancer
It's not a good idea to mix friends and money as the Moon clashes with Mars and Saturn, just as Mercury turns direct again. You can enjoy your friends and you can be successful in business; the key is not to mix the two if possible. Romantic relationships may be under pressure today; but the stars favour resolving needless power struggles.
Leo
The Moon moves through Taurus and your tenth house of career and reputation, starting the day off on a tense note. It seems everyone wants something and they want it yesterday... don't crack under the pressure. Mercury turns direct today, so you have a marvellous weekend to look forward to. Hold your head up high; there is much to do, but you are up to the challenge!
Virgo
You can make progress in your personal goals as the Moon activates your ninth house of education and adventure and Mercury turns direct at last. Aim high as you plan to take the next step in your life, whether it is enrolling in a college course or learning about a different culture. The more you allow for growth in your life, the more you will have to show for it.
Libra
The Moon activates your eighth house of sex, money and power, adding a note of intensity to the day. By evening, you may find yourself at odds with a friend or partner over money, resources, or values. With the Sun in your sign and Mercury turning direct, you hold all the cards, but it won't hurt you, or cost you a thing to be generous and forgiving.
Scorpio
The waning Moon encourages you to spend more time with your partner, so make room in your life for closeness. Many Scorpions are undergoing changes as mysterious Neptune moves through your fourth house of home and family. Mercury turns direct today, but you'll need to pay attention to your own emotional responses if you want these changes to be positive.
Sagittarius
The pressure is on as the sensitive Moon and confusing planets clash. Stay calm and cool, and you will get the job done! Merc turns direct, but you'll be ready to spend some time in your cave this evening. There is nothing wrong with curling up in bed with a good book or even turning in early after a long, hard day.
Capricorn
Your creative powers should be reaching a peak today as the Moon moves through Taurus and your fifth house of romance and creativity. Place freshflowers in your work area; you'll be inspired by natural beauty. Those of you in romantic relationships will enjoy the little things today. Mercury's retro phase ends today, so send love notes and meet your sweetheart for lunch.
Aquarius
You might feel more of a homebody than usual, as the sensual Taurus Moon moves through your fourth house of home and family. This is a good time to stay at home (if you can) and count your blessings. Don't covet what you don't have - envy is only negative, never positive. Instead, work out why you are envious and take steps to make it happen for you. Mercury turns direct, so things are looking up.
Pisces
As tricky Mercury turns direct, the Moon moves through Taurus and your third house of communication, bringing lots of news your way. Your psychic faculties may be stimulated, so expect to find yourself reading between the lines for the real story. Unfortunately, many will tend to imagine slights and insults now... if someone is unkind, try to assume they are simply having a bad day.
