Mar 21 to Apr 19
Aries
a far road, a near friend
The moon travels all day through your sector of far horizons, learning and faith.
The young moon spends the whole day in your sector of long roads, study and the beliefs that guide you. You may catch yourself daydreaming about somewhere you have never been, or a subject you once loved and set aside. Let the daydream stay a while. Wonder is good fuel for a fire sign, and it costs nothing to keep it glowing softly.
On Mercury's day, the messenger is retrograde in your sector of shared things and deep trust, turning direct on Friday morning. Venus, also retrograde, sits opposite your sign in your partnership sector and turns direct on Friday evening. If a close bond has felt a little tangled, you do not need to sort it out today. Mars, your ruler, shines before dawn beside Jupiter, cheering on whatever brings you joy. Saturn and Neptune move slowly backward through your own sign, asking you to be patient with yourself.
A small act for today
Look up one place, poem or idea that has always made you curious, and spend ten minutes simply reading about it.
Ask yourself
What did I love learning about before anyone told me it was not useful?
Apr 20 to May 20
Taurus
what you hold in common
The moon travels all day through your sector of shared resources, trust and closeness.
The moon lingers today in the deep, private part of your chart, where you keep the things you share with others and the trust that holds them together. You may feel a quiet pull to be closer to someone, or a quiet wish for a little more room. Both are worth listening to. Neither needs to be acted on today.
Mercury, the messenger of the day, is retrograde opposite your sign in your partnership sector. An old conversation with someone close may come back around. Listen to it with fresh ears. Mercury turns direct on Friday morning, and your ruler Venus, retrograde in your sector of daily work, turns direct that same evening. Mars and Jupiter glow before dawn at the root of your chart, warming your home. Let your generosity begin there, with the people under your own roof, and with yourself.
A small act for today
Make a warm drink for someone at home, or for yourself, and hand it over with both hands.
Ask yourself
Whose trust do I treasure most, and how do I let them know?
May 21 to Jun 20
Gemini
the messenger walks backward
The moon travels all day through your partnership sector, opposite your sign.
Today is Mercury's day, and Mercury is your ruler, but he is still walking backward through your sector of daily routines and work. He turns direct on Friday morning, the 13th. Until then, your days may feel a little out of step, with emails crossed or plans shuffled. Be patient with the small hiccups. They are not signs that you are doing anything wrong.
The moon sits opposite your sign, in the sector of partners and close friends. Someone near you may need to talk something through. You do not have to fix it. Listening is its own warm cloak. Mars and Jupiter shine together in your sector of messages, so a kind note sent now may be warmly received. Uranus, moving backward through your own sign, reminds you that you are allowed to change your mind.
A small act for today
Send one short note to a friend that says only what you appreciate about them, with no questions to answer.
Ask yourself
Which of my daily habits would I keep even if no one ever saw it?
Jun 21 to Jul 22
Cancer
care for the one who cares
Your ruler, the moon, travels all day through your sector of daily work and wellbeing.
Your ruler the moon is a little fuller today, and this evening you may see her, low in the southwest just after sunset. She moves through your sector of everyday tasks and the small habits that keep you well. Let your care for others include you. A warm meal, a short rest between chores, a scarf around your shoulders on a cold walk: these are ways of looking after the one who looks after everyone.
Venus is retrograde at the root of your chart, your home sector, and turns direct on Friday evening. Mercury, retrograde in your sector of joy and creativity, turns direct that same morning. If a creative project or a playful plan has stalled, give it a few more days. Mars and Jupiter shine before dawn in your sector of worth. On Mercury's day, share something you made, however small, with someone who would enjoy it.
A small act for today
Before you start tonight's chores, sit for five minutes with something warm in your hands and do nothing else.
Ask yourself
Who looks after me the way I look after others?

Leo
a generous heart, rested
The moon travels all day through your sector of joy, play and creativity.
Mars and Jupiter still travel together through your own sign, a little closer each morning, and the young moon in fellow fire sign Sagittarius lights your sector of play and creative delight.

On Mercury's day, the messenger is retrograde at the root of your chart, in your sector of home and family, beside your ruler the Sun. Old family stories, or an old conversation, may come up.

Until then, let your generosity be gentle and unhurried, and remember to keep some warmth for yourself.

Make or draw something small and cheerful, and give it to someone without explaining why.

What do I give to others that I would also like to receive?

Virgo
a slower word is clearer
The moon travels all day at the root of your chart, your sector of home and family.
Wednesday is the day of Mercury, your ruler, and he is still retrograde in your sector of words, letters and short journeys. He turns direct on Friday morning, the 13th. Until then, read your messages twice, and be kind to yourself if one goes astray. If someone from your past comes to mind, a cousin, an old neighbor, a former classmate, you might begin a note to them today and send it later this week.
The crescent moon rests at the root of your chart, in your home sector. Home may want warmth more than order today: a blanket on the sofa, a lamp switched on early, a familiar meal. Venus, retrograde in your sector of worth, turns direct on Friday evening. Mars and Jupiter shine in your hidden sector of rest, so you may need more quiet than usual. That is allowed.
A small act for today
Leave a soft blanket where you usually sit, so warmth is waiting for you when you come home.
Ask yourself
Who from my past would be glad to hear from me?
Sep 23 to Oct 22
Libra
two days before your turning
The moon travels all day through your sector of words, messages and short journeys.
Your ruler Venus is still retrograde in your own sign, rising bright in the east-southeast before dawn. On Friday evening, the 13th, she turns direct.

Let them be gentle ones, and let whatever you have learned settle before you move forward.
On Mercury's day, the young moon moves through your sector of messages and neighbors, and Mercury himself is retrograde in your sector of money and worth, turning direct on Friday morning.

A warm message to a friend in your circle, especially one who has gone quiet, may be very welcome.

Send a short, warm message to a neighbor or someone you see often but rarely talk to.
Ask yourself
What have these slow weeks taught me about what I truly want?

the messenger rests in your sign
The moon travels all day through your sector of worth, money and resources.
On Mercury's day, the messenger is still retrograde in your own sign, near the Sun in your birthday season. He turns direct on Friday morning, the 13th. These weeks may have asked you to look back at how you speak and how you think. If you have been quieter than usual, that quiet has been doing its own work. Let the words return in their own time.
The moon moves through your sector of worth and resources, the things that help you feel steady. On Martinmas, you might think about what you could share from what you have, without leaving yourself short: a coat you no longer wear, an hour of your time, a listening ear.

A small act for today
Find one warm thing you no longer use, a coat, a scarf or a pair of gloves, and set it aside to give away.
Ask yourself
What do I have more of than I need, and who might be glad of it?
Nov 22 to Dec 21

one more quiet day
The moon travels all day through your hidden sector of rest, dreams and solitude, and reaches your sign on Thursday at 2:28 p.m. Central.
One more quiet day before the moon reaches your sign. She rests now in the most private room of your chart, where sleep, solitude and unspoken thoughts live. You may not feel like explaining yourself today. You do not have to. Let some of your thoughts stay folded a little longer, like letters still being written.
On Mercury's day, the messenger is retrograde in your sector of friends and groups, turning direct on Friday morning. A friendship may feel a little out of tune. Give it time rather than effort.

warmth passed around the circle

The moon moves today through your sector of friends and communities. On Martinmas, an old day of sharing, think of the circles you belong to: a neighborhood, a group chat, a team, a class, a congregation.

Ask yourself
Who in my circles might be waiting for someone to notice them?

The young moon sits at the top of your chart today, in your sector of work and calling.
