Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Let’s get physical! With the moon in Sagittarius this Saturday, your active ninth house is awakened. Time to set up that home workout studio or get out for a solitary roam if that’s allowed in your area. With the moon opposing Venus, you may feel at odds with bae or someone close to you. Burn off the stress with some jumping jacks or a living room workout BEFORE you hop on that message thread (or worse, social media) and give them a piece of your mind. Yes, you’re technically “right,” Aries, but is that REALLY the point here? Sunday’s moon in Capricorn can you help you rise above the emotional morass. By focusing on one specific goal—and a benchmark you can achieve before sundown—you’ll shift your mind away from any brewing drama. Better still? Once you detach, you’ll be able to look back at that situation with new insight. And if you need to offer up an apology, swallow your pride and just do it. See the full week >

Taurus (April 20- May 20)

Thanks to the Sagittarius moon cruising through your mystical eighth house, your intuition is dialed up more than usual on Saturday. This is your zone of mystery, so you might not get the whole truth out of the gate, but your instincts will point you in the right direction. But make no assumptions. Even the most psychic Tauruses out there will only get a preview of the situation. You’re going to have to pull the thread and unravel the full story, one clue at a time. Sunday’s moon in your liberated ninth house calls for a personal Independence Day. If you’ve been busy playing Best Supportive and on-call therapist for everyone in your social network, give yourself a day to “just be.” Set your status to Away and get lost in a good book. If you can get outside for some fresh air, find a way, even if you’re just going for a long drive with the radio turned up and the windows rolled down. See the full week >

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

If a certain relationship could benefit from a rebalancing of the power scales, Saturday’s harmonizing Sagittarius moon in your partnership zone can help. But here’s the thing, Gem: YOU might be the one who needs to do more of the compromising. Could you ease up on your demands or be a more patient listener? It’s easy to point fingers, but it’s a sign of emotional maturity to own up to our personal shortcomings. When in doubt, let love rule! A sexy Sunday is on the horizon thanks to the moon in Capricorn and your erotic eighth house. Prime some new lingerie or schedule a seductive video chat date with your amour du jour. A bubbling attraction could FINALLY advance to the next stage of the game. Good thing that for you, Gemini, all it takes is a profound conversation. While it might be more of a baby step than a giant leap, you have good reason to feel…titillated. See the full week >

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Inside-out beauty is the order of the day on Saturday, when the moon in Sagittarius lights up your sixth house of self-care. It’s not indulgent to prioritize feeling and looking great: As a Cancer, you know it’s a necessity! Log in for a Zoom yoga class, take a long bath and afterward, put on something besides your PJs. While you’re in makeover mode, look around your home. How can you balance functionality and comfort to create your own sacred space? Make your boudoir feel sensual—and organized! The moon shifts into Capricorn on Sunday and brings balance to your most treasured relationships. You’re naturally generous, Crab, but have you unwittingly added pressure by asking for too much (too soon)? Stop taking all the initiative and see who comes to you. An important discussion about the future might arise, but don’t focus on your apprehensions and fears. Instead, center the conversation on the positive outcomes you wish to co-create.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

With the Sagittarius moon powering up your fifth house of excitement and romance on Saturday, your flair for the theatrical can come in handy in ways you never imagined. On a normal weekend, you might scatter this energy with shopping and brunch, but without all those places to go, you can truly channel it into a proactive direction. Whether you’re setting up a Zoom dinner date or tackling a home decor mission, give your undivided attention to whatever you’re doing. Sunday’s moon in Capricorn shines a light on unhealthy habits that may have crept in while you were adjusting to this “new abnormal.” Just because you CAN wear PJs 24/7 doesn’t mean you should succumb to quarantine chic. At the very least, change into athleisure and set up your yoga mat. Replace a few of those frozen burritos with grain bowls and fresh salads. Challenge yourself to take on a daily practice that buoys your immune system. See the full week >

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
