Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You love the finer things in life, but before you blow a bundle on something fabulous, make sure you can afford it. A clash between the reactive moon and radical Uranus in your financial sector could cloud your better judgment. (Of course you deserve a brand-new laptop, but—forgive us for asking—can you pay this month’s expenses first?) Maybe you need a second source of income to fund your retail habit. This innovative transit could spark ideas for a side hustle. Opportunity lies at the crossroads of your ingenuity and the needs of the world. See the full week >

Taurus (April 20- May 20)

Feisty much? Today, the sensitive moon teams up with unpredictable Uranus in your sign, priming you for a fight—or at least a heated debate. Watch out world: The Bull is sharpening its horns and getting ready to do battle. If nobody’s taking the bait, you might stir up conflict or controversy all by yourself. What’s this really about, Taurus? If it’s just a power play to get the upper hand, be careful. You could end up damaging your reputation in the process. And if you (likely) have a legitimate point to make, a new approach could help you get it across. See the full week >

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You may struggle to stay focused on work today, Gemini, as all sorts of emotional hobgoblins clamor for your attention. And they’re not going to leave you alone until you do something about them! Today, as the sensitive moon aligns with changemaker Uranus in your twelfth house of closure and healing, you can write the final chapter of something that’s outlived its usefulness. Don’t overthink it: Just close the door, lock it, then throw away the key. See the full week >

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Be prepared for some shake-ups in a work group or your personal crew today, Cancer. A transformative merger of the sensitive moon and disruptive Uranus in your eleventh house of technology and teamwork is sure to rock some boats. But if you’ve been treading water and are hoping to connect with new, more innovative people, this transit might be a blessing. Seek out virtual mastermind groups where you can get support for your big ideas. You might find your squad AND do something good for the world! See the full week >

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

If your career trajectory is looking uncertain, you can make necessary course corrections today as the moon syncs up with transformative Uranus in your professional tenth house. This isn’t just about the work you do or how much money you make (although those things ARE important!). This is about your highest calling and making a difference. You don’t have to quit your day job if you have a good one. Research ways you can make a positive impact on society through a group that’s rallied around an important social cause.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

With the moon and Uranus firing up your visionary ninth house, you’ve got an unquenchable thirst to widen your horizons, whether through cross-cultural connections, knowledge or launching your own business. Don’t put restrictions on things; create the space to let your imagination run wild. Just make sure any classes you sign up for are fully refundable because you could have a total change of heart once this whimsical transit passes. See the full week >

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Why, yes, Libra, you ARE feeling extra sensitive today—and no, it doesn’t help when other people point that out. Steer clear of INSENSITIVE types today, who are sure to push every last one of your buttons. An exact alignment of the reactive moon and disruptive Uranus in your intense eighth house could churn up uncomfortably strong feelings, possibly without warning. Fight the instinct to burst into tears or go on the warpath. That unbearable slight you’re feeling will be much more tolerable when this passes, so distract yourself with work—and lay low!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Keep the peace? Good luck with that, Scorpio. You can be plenty diplomatic, but thanks to today’s rabble-rousing ruckus involving the reactive moon and erratic Uranus in your partnership corner, you may not have the bandwidth to smooth any ruffled feathers. Unthinkably, you might even be one of the disruptors! Pause before you speak—or act—and play out the consequences. While it can be exciting to make waves, you don’t want to sink the ship.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Don’t get sucked into other people’s dramas today, Archer. A hard-to-navigate merger of the moon and capricious Uranus in your house of service and organization may throw others for a loop. Plant your feet firmly, and you won’t get blown off-course. Even as you focus on the minutiae of a project, keep one eye fixed on the big picture. Leave the obsessing to other people. Close your door or create a quiet zone, take a deep breath and focus on YOUR priorities. See the full week >

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Blurt alert! You may be feeling feisty, but that’s a signal to strengthen, not drop, your filters. With the reactive moon and unpredictable Uranus playing doubles in your dramatic fifth house, your already-high passion may get cranked up to an untenable level. It’s going to take a lot of self-control to self-edit before you speak, but think about how your words will come across. Is it possible your innocent-but-edgy comment might leave a higher-up questioning your good judgment? SO not worth it! See the full week >

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The status quo may have to go at Chateau Aquarius! Today, a spirited sync-up of the moon and transformative Uranus in your domesticity zone inspires you to make some changes, minor or possibly very major! But don’t rush into anything irrevocable. Spend some time weighing your options. Do you want to rearrange the furniture or possibly the room configuration (yet again)? Hey, it’s your space and your prerogative. Don’t let other people’s snarky comments stop you. Small shifts can have a profound effect. Just remember this rule: Form follows function. See the full week >

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Don’t bother seeking consensus today, Pisces. The people around you will NOT be on the same page, so don’t make any assumptions about who’s got your back. A combative mashup of the reactive moon and revolutionary Uranus in your communication corner lends an unpredictable vibe to the day. Without realizing it, your “innocent” comments might be real zingers. Before you blurt—or post or Tweet—think twice about what the storm you’re about to unleash. See the full week >
