Aries
the road past the doorway
The new moon's first day stays in your sector of deep change and shared things, then moves into your sector of far horizons at 2:36 a.m. Central early Tuesday.
Last night's new moon began in the most private room of your chart, where trust and shared things live. Today it is still very new, too thin to see. Let it stay that way for now. Something between you and another person may be shifting quietly, an old worry finally set down or a kindness returned. You do not have to name it yet. Simply notice where you feel lighter.
Before dawn on Tuesday, the moon crosses into your sector of travel, study and big questions, and your curiosity will stir. Your ruler Mars is high in the south before sunrise, edging closer to Jupiter each morning. Saturn and Neptune, moving backward through your sign, ask you to begin slowly. A road is easier to walk when you have rested at the doorway first.
A small act for today
Look at a map, a book or a website about a place you hope to visit someday, and let yourself daydream for ten minutes.
Ask yourself
Which part of the world, or of myself, am I curious to explore next?
Apr 20 to May 20
Taurus
promises made slowly
The new moon's first day stays in your partnership sector, then moves into your sector of shared resources at 2:36 a.m. Central early Tuesday.
The moon begins her new month opposite your sign, in the part of your chart that holds partners and close companions. Monday is the moon's own day, and today she asks you to listen more than you speak. You are loyal, Taurus, and loyalty is strongest when it is renewed by choice. Notice the person who steadies you, and let them know it, in your own plain way.
Your ruler Venus is still retrograde in your sector of daily work and routines, and she turns direct this Friday evening, the 13th. Hold off on big promises about shared money or time until then. From early Tuesday, the moon moves into your sector of shared resources. A slow promise, carefully kept, is worth more than a quick one.
A small act for today
Make a warm drink and share it with someone, or with yourself, for ten minutes without a screen.
Ask yourself
Which promise in my life deserves to be renewed with care?
May 21 to Jun 20
Gemini
listen for the quiet voice
The new moon's first day stays in your sector of daily life and wellbeing, then moves into your partnership sector at 2:36 a.m. Central early Tuesday.
The new moon is only hours old, resting in your sector of work, routines and everyday care. Your mind has many voices, Gemini, and today one of them is very quiet. It is the voice that knows when you are tired. Listen for it. Monday is a good day to let your list be shorter than usual, and to do the few things on it with your full attention.
Your ruler Mercury is retrograde close to the Sun and turns direct on Friday morning, the 13th.

A small act for today
Cross off one item on today's list that does not truly need doing this week.

What is my tired self trying to tell me?

your ruler's own day

Monday is named for the moon, and the moon is your ruler, so this is your day in a quiet way. She began her new month in the small hours, in your sector of play, romance and creative delight. You may feel shy about wanting things today. That is all right. A new moon is not loud. It is the first faint wish to try something simply because it might bring you joy.
Jupiter and Mars shine high before dawn in your sector of worth and resources, reminding you that your gifts are real.

Where in my week could a little more delight fit?

Your ruler the Sun sits with the young new moon at the root of your chart, in your sector of home, family and the private self. This new month begins in the most inward place you have.

a softer word for home

The new moon is quietly at work in your sector of conversation, study and the short paths of your week.

The young moon rests in your sector of money, worth and the things you hold dear. A new moon here invites a fresh start in how you spend your energy, not only your money.

Your new moon arrived at 1:02 a.m. Central, at about 17° of your sign, and today is its very first day. The Sun, the moon and retrograde Mercury are all gathered in you.

Mars, your traditional ruler, shines high before dawn in your sector of work and calling, beside Jupiter, so your ambitions are glowing even while your heart is quiet.

the moon comes home to you
The new moon's first day stays in your hidden sector of rest and dreams, then moves into your own sign at 2:36 a.m. Central early Tuesday.
Today the new moon rests in the quietest corner of your chart, the sector of sleep, solitude and private prayer. Tomorrow, before dawn, she moves into your own sign. That makes today a threshold, a held breath. Use it to finish one small thing you have left undone, so you can walk into the new month with lighter pockets.
Your ruler Jupiter shines high in the south before sunrise, side by side with Mars in your sector of travel and faith. The two will be closest on Sunday.

Rest today, and arrive tomorrow.
