These days Mercury is showing itself very active. It will reach the conjunction with Mars, both in the sign of Scorpio, fostering ideas that are very critical and penetrating and initiatives of control. It will be advisable to moderate the language to not hurt with words, which can be like a sharp dart that hits the target. It is a beneficial contact for study as it favors concentration and mental acuity.

Mercury will also form beautiful trines with the social planets, all in water signs. It will be possible to carry out the most enthusiastic and optimistic initiatives if they are implemented with organization and structure. The New Moon in Libra offers a new opportunity for consensus, understanding, and good relationships. It is wise not to let it slip away.

Neptune, in its retrograde motion, re-enters Pisces to remind us of the importance of being more generous and supportive, of reclaiming the essential center, inviting us to abandon individualism and the exhausting rush to be the first to arrive at not know where.

ARIES

The conjunction of Mercury and Mars activates the mind and triggers intense ideas, although it can also motivate discussions that should be handled calmly so that blood does not reach the river. It is a week favorable for researching, delving deep, and expressing yourself without beating around the bush, but avoiding being blunt or dogmatic. Emotional and family matters now find a more stable and fluid channel of communication. The sky invites you to release the hurry and reconnect with what is essential.

TAURUS

With this week’s New Moon you have a lovely opportunity to put your practical matters in order, to establish new work relationships and, fundamentally, to reach an agreement with yourself and start a plan that will allow you to improve your health and well-being. It is also a magnificent moment to adopt a pet. On the other hand, keep in mind that your rivals will be armed with sharp claws, waiting for the moment to pounce on you. Do not provoke them!

GEMINI

The week presents itself as very intense in terms of work and daily obligations. Both will demand a lot from you. Use your good ideas to plan a solid strategy of action and thus achieve greater efficiency and speed in your activities. Work looks demanding although it promises good financial results and great satisfactions and advances, but do not lose focus on what is truly important. Do not trust yourself or become scattered!

CANCER

This week is propitious for getting the most out of your creativity and for achieving excellent results in your activities. It is time to defend your convictions and show yourself confident in your particular vision and way of doing things. You will be able to move forward with safety, backed by knowledge and experience. The lunation in the sign of Libra presents a new chapter in your family life, promising harmony and tranquility. Start fresh and turn over a new leaf!

LEO

The New Moon in Libra may bring you new relationships, or strengthen ties with neighbors, siblings and colleagues. This week you will be able to understand yourself better and understand the family dynamics in which you move, if you dedicate a little time to reflect on it. Neptune re-enters Pisces and will give you a push to face emotional and affective problems that are not well resolved. Understanding the origin of your inner wounds will help you let go of resentment and have more fluid and complete family relationships.

VIRGO

This week Mercury, your ruling planet, meets Mars, which will allow your mind to be sharper and more penetrating, and you will achieve greater efficiency in matters of communication or writing. You will also be more incisive and controversial, defending your ideas with vehemence and, perhaps, somewhat aggressively. On the other hand, your critical sense and your exceptionally accurate words will win you the sympathy of important people in your social circles. Do not involve yourself in financial matters for the convenience of others!

LIBRA

This week the New Moon forms in your own sign (sun sign or rising) and gives you the opportunity to take a new path, start a project, or reinvent yourself socially and personally. At work you will achieve successes and recognitions as long as you organize yourself well and do not neglect the responsibilities you have undertaken. It is the moment to plan an economic strategy that allows you to improve your income based on your work activities. Do not place too many expectations on others and trust in yourself!

SCORPIO

This week Mercury joins Mars, both in your own sign (sun or rising) and they provide you with an extra dose of intuition and creativity. It is a very favorable contact for artistic activities, and also for planning or reviewing the educational activities of your children. If you have grandchildren, these days you can pleasantly enjoy them or take joy in their cause. The New Moon advises you to rest and detach yourself from noise and others’ opinions. Focus on yourself and connect with your intuition!

SAGITTARIUS

Through your friends you will receive proposals that can provoke a certain vertigo but that constitute an excellent opportunity for personal growth. It is a week favorable for collective trips or to share experiences and knowledge with study groups. You might feel emotionally unsettled, with unease or some anxiety not fully understanding what it stems from. It could be unconscious blocks that, if you sit down to calmly reflect on them, you can analyze and clarify. Face your fears!

CAPRICORN

The New Moon in the sign of Libra may bring you new professional proposals. You will have to carefully review whether they are convenient for you from an economic standpoint, or regarding the collaborators or colleagues you would have to work with. It is a week in which friendships and romantic relationships can flow and offer you very intense moments, as well as very advantageous advice or help. Reach out to your contacts to get a little push!

AQUARIUS

If you have been thinking about studying for a long time, this week presents a perfect moment for it. The New Moon also encourages you to travel, especially if you do it in romantic company, and overall, to break out of your habitual paradigms and broaden your thinking and life expectations. But you will have to organize yourself better to embrace it all. These are good days to make progress at work and to achieve good results in exams. Go straight for your goals!

PISCES

This week, with the New Moon, you might wish to change your home, acquire a second residence, or renovate the place you live. If so, it’s a good moment to study your financial possibilities and what aids or loans you could count on. Neptune returning to your sign (sun or rising) may restore your illusions about a personal matter, but it can also drain your energy by feeling that some ghosts from the past return. Look to the future with confidence!
