Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You have a gift for getting people to reveal their true feelings—and that will be amplified by today’s charming Scorpio moon. When you draw people into your confidence, they’re likely to share some pretty personal things with you. Honor this sacred information by keeping it in the vault! Warning: Someone may be putting you through a loyalty test by asking for your opinion on a mutual acquaintance. If you want to pass with flying colors, refuse to gossip or trash-talk, even if you secretly can’t stand the person. Loose lips sink ships, and your ability to stay neutral will earn people’s trust and respect. See the full week >

Taurus (April 20- May 20)

Flap those social butterfly wings, Taurus. Branching out might bring fringe benefits for your love life with today’s Scorpio moon lighting up your partnership house. If you’re single, you could feel the sparks with someone who shares your eclectic musical tastes or loves all the same books you do. Move that text thread to video chat and enjoy the synergy! Coupled? Do your part to break up the monotony of sheltering in place. Take the initiative and plan something fun for the two of you tonight, like experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen AND the bedroom. See the full week >

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The devil is in the details under the exacting influence of today’s Scorpio moon. So, uh, maybe you SHOULD sweat the small stuff a little more. Fortunately, handling those bells and whistles falls right in your detail-driven wheelhouse. Although this can be time-consuming, it’s worth adding a decorative or bespoke flourish. Are you convening with people for work? Don’t just barrel right down to business. Friendly small talk can warm up the connection and make it easier to negotiate a winning outcome.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The camera loves you today as the Scorpio moon sparkles in your flamboyant fifth house. Maybe it’s time to set up a photo shoot or record an IGTV video. You have something important to say, Cancer, and whether or not it’s televised, now’s the time to speak up—yes, even if your hands are trembling. When it comes to personal interactions, don’t be afraid to hold the bar high. When you expect the best, you’ll see who is capable of delivering it. Tonight, bring some creativity to the table, whether you’re serving a sexy pasta dish by candlelight or hosting a virtual dinner party for friends with everyone cooking the same recipe.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Show-stopping Leo, you live for the applause, but today you’ll shine in the “Best Supporting” role. When you love and believe in people, you’re their ultimate champion! Think of ways you can speed up a talented friend’s ascent. Could you facilitate an introduction to an important person in your network or take a few tasks off their plate? Heads-up: It might take a minute for this busy bee to properly thank you—and you might not even get credit for your assist. Consider your kindness an act of paying it forward. One day, this generosity WILL come back to you in another form. See the full week >

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Open up the opinion polls today, Virgo. Before you make another move, it can be helpful to get outside feedback on your work in progress. Instead of getting lost in a Google wormhole, set up a more hivemind discussion on Hangouts. For best results, request critiques from a range of folks. Although the final decision is yours to make, viewing this situation through a prism of possibilities can give you a fresh outlook. See the full week >

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Yesterday’s mistakes can’t be undone, but it’s never too late to turn lemons into lemonade. If you feel an idea still has merit, go back to the drawing board. This time around, you’ll be wiser, following due process instead of standing on ceremony or skipping necessary steps with an ill-advised “shortcut.” Relationships might also need TLC today. The best gift you can offer is quality time. If you’re sharing shelter, power down the devices and give your people some undivided attention. Living solo? Hop off the multi-person webinar and open up a private chat. See the full week >

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’re in your element as the Scorpio moon spins through your self-authorized first house. Prioritize independent projects and make time for the things that YOU love doing. Have you been telling people what they want to hear instead of what they NEED to hear? Stop being strategic and aim for authentic. Your genuine feedback might ruffle a few feathers, but at the end of the day, loved ones know that you have their back. And once you speak your truth, you’ll be able to communicate with a clear conscience again. See the full week >

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Keep it confidential and discreet, Sagittarius. With the moon hovering in your esoteric twelfth house, it’s hard to read people’s intentions. Someone may SEEM to be offering a supportive ear, when in truth, they’re just mining you for information. Since you can’t tell for certain, don’t go spilling your trade secrets (or other people’s business) to a virtual stranger. Reserve any NSFW topics for a time when you know there’s zero chance of the conversation being overheard or recorded. See the full week >

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You’ll catch more flies with humor today, Capricorn. If that morning check-in call feels too heavy and significant, lighten it up with your famous (and famously well-hidden) wit. Since your jokes tend to be wry and subtle, most people don’t realize how hilarious you can be—especially if they’re used to dealing with “professional Capricorn.” Dropping the act is a strategic move: When you lighten up, you become more accessible. Reach out to good friends you haven’t heard from in a while. A casual chat could evolve into an idea for a brilliant collaboration. See the full week >

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Silence your ringer and log out of the messenger apps. With today’s productivity-boosting Scorpio moon, you’ll finally have the attention span to devote to detailed projects that require intense focus. Don’t let people interrupt your groove! Find a private place to whir away without interruption. Not possible? Grab your headphones and turn on some white-noise tracks so you aren’t distracted by the buzz of others sheltering in place with you. If you have a door, shut it, and you might just be done in time to cook a fun dinner together with roomies or your fam. See the full week >

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Broaden your focus today, Pisces. With the moon lighting up your visionary ninth house, there’s no need to sweat the small stuff. If you’re not reaching your goals fast enough, perhaps you’re getting hung up on minor details instead of prospecting for wider opportunities. The ninth house also rules education. What online training or webinar can expand your skills? If you’ve already acquired mastery in your field, this moon could buoy your confidence to teach a class (online or to a small group) and pass on your knowledge. See the full week >
