We start Monday with the Moon in Aries inviting us to act without overthinking it. It’s the perfect impulse to open the week with the shout of “do it now”, skipping the filter of doubt or fear. Take advantage to shake off weekend laziness and activate your projects; all it takes is taking the first step. That said: start strong, but be careful not to react instead of respond!

ARIES

You start Monday with your batteries charged, engines running and a desire to conquer the world. With the Moon in your sign, you know what you want and how you want it. It’s the perfect day to start that new project or make that decision you’ve been postponing. Don’t wait; if you feel it, go for it!

TAURUS

Even though it’s Monday and the world moves fast, the Moon invites you to slow down, disconnect and listen to what’s going on inside. Maybe you’ll notice something you were avoiding over the weekend. Today it’s better to go slowly, give yourself a moment of introspection, and not overexert yourself.

GEMINI

Today, Monday, what will truly fire you up is connecting with others. It’s a great day to launch that idea you had for a group project or speak with someone who shares your vision for the week. That said, don’t get frustrated if your teammates or friends aren’t keeping pace with you.

CANCER

You start the day eager to stand out, to position yourself, or to seek quick results at work. Heads up! Breathe before acting impulsively. If something doesn’t work the first time, don’t take it as a failure; it’s only a signal to recalibrate your path.

LEO

This Monday you are driven by an imperative need to break out of the routine. Take advantage of this energy from the Moon in Aries to plan a getaway, study something new, or have a stimulating conversation that breaks the monotony of work. If you can, walk home.

VIRGO

Today the Moon asks you to let go of what you can no longer control. It’s a good day to organize shared financial matters, but not to carry them out or make important decisions, as your emotions may play tricks on you. Think before you act.

LIBRA

With the Moon moving through Aries, someone at work or at home may react more intensely than expected, or you may be the one who needs to talk about something you had kept hidden. The key to starting the week well is not to dramatize.

SCORPIO

The stress of the start of the week can take its toll if you don’t take care of yourself: you may need to drink more water, rest, or ease your standards. It’s the perfect day to go to the gym and release tension with a bit of cardio. Today is not a day to take things personally.

SAGITTARIUS

Who said Mondays are boring? For you today is an ideal day to let yourself be carried by pleasure, creativity and passion. The Moon stirs your inner fire and asks you to do something that truly motivates you to start the week with enthusiasm. There could be a crush!

CAPRICORN

You may start the week wanting to change something at home, or that pending conversation with a family member you avoided over the weekend may come up. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t sweep it under the rug. It will be better to talk about it calmly.

AQUARIUS

You start the week with overflowing mental energy, a thousand ideas in your head, and an urgent need to say what you think. Take advantage of this impulse to empty your inbox and send those pending messages, but process the information before speaking.

PISCES

This Monday it’s time to take stock: are you investing your time and energy in what truly nourishes you? The Moon invites you to start the week by making more conscious and courageous decisions with your money and resources. Valuing yourself is one of the steps to attracting abundance!
