Well, hello there, Full Moon week, fancy seeing you here. Yes, it’s that time already. Time for la Luna to make her grand appearance in the grounded, practical sign of Capricorn.
Wait a minute, Haven’t we already had a Full Moon in Capricorn? You’re quite right, you clever thing, you. A month ago, we had a Full Moon in the very first degree of the sign, whereas this month’s Full Moon is in the last degree of the cosmic Sea Goat. This is a double Capricorn energy, which is, well, quite rare. It began when there was a New Moon in this very same sign back in January.
This particular conjunction came at the perfect timing, right at the start of 2024. Most of us had lofty new goals and big aspirations, as suits this professionally relevant, driven, and ambitious sign.
So, take a look around you now, What’s come to fruition? What hasn’t? Where can you celebrate the structure that you created, while letting go of the parts that don’t serve your purpose anymore? Although this Full Moon only happens on Sunday, it’s great practice to be preparing for the weekend.
Right, so let’s track back to the start of the week. Let’s lay some groundwork. On Monday, Mars and Uranus meet in a jolting, electric energy in Taurus, revitalizing and shaking us up and out of our comfort zones. This cosmic energy invites new and exciting projects and directions, perhaps even shifting our professional or material trajectory without warning. Stay flexible. Don’t project drama onto the situation. Just get on with whatever you need to do.
As if to emphasize the point, the Sun and Uranus dance together in a sextile on Thursday, with Mercury joining the mix and squaring this same planet of surprises on Sunday. Expect the unexpected. Be prepared to change your mind drastically and suddenly. Coupled with the Full Moon, there’s a sense that something is about to be unveiled that we could never have anticipated. Will it be good? Well, it’s what we make of it. While we might not always be able to control the weather, we can always control how we respond to it. Do we dance in the rain? Laugh in the cosmic storms? You bet we do. Mars parts from Uranus and enters a whole new sign on Saturday, igniting the curious, restless, and variety-loving sign of Gemini. Here, our energy becomes focused on how much we can learn in one go, like an all-you-can-eat buffet of knowledge. Yum yum.
It’s a brand-new week, and with it, the arrival of a brand-new season. The mighty Sun shifts into golden-maned Leo, the sign of his rulership. Here, the King of Heaven sits proudly on his throne, full of glowing confidence and self-assurance. We can all benefit from this dazzling energy. We can all find our inner royal side for these next few weeks. Ask yourself, what makes you shine? What makes you feel like your very best self? What helps you to come alive? Whatever it is, do more of that. Express yourself to the fullest. Celebrate yourself unashamedly. Beam with positive energy and strength. There’s no one quite like you in this world. You have unique talents to offer, so dig in. This energy kicks off from Monday already, creating the perfect start to the week.
Tuesday may put our newly discovered confidence to the test as the Sun meets Pluto in an intense opposition aspect. This might, admittedly, take the wind right out of our sails and leave us feeling, well, a little disempowered. There could be a situation, for example, that’s asking us to choose to boldly stand true to our integrity, to refuse to be manipulated, controlled, cajoled, or coerced. It won’t be easy, especially if this ‘situation’ is of the romantic or relationship kind. Nevertheless, stand true we must. There is a middle ground to be reached. We can take a step forward and negotiate, but only if it leaves a positive energy in its wake. We’ll know when we’ve gone too far. We’ll feel taken advantage of, angry, cut down. Our emotions are the key to navigating this alignment successfully. Treat them as important messengers. On the other side of this experience lies great potential for personal transformation. We’ve got this.
Thursday has Mercury, the heavenly Messenger, move into his home sign of Virgo. This is a very good sign. Here, the planet of knowledge is discerning and possessed of a highly critical mind. Here, he knows what decision to make that will not only be practical but also wise. Our minds might turn towards the organization of our finances, the smoothing out of our routines and our health and wellness. Small but important choices will be made, with the perfect amount of attention to detail. Of course, we may also be prone to worry, as this is also a thing with Mercury. When we find ourselves getting head worms, let us make a genuine effort to put the worries aside and spring into action. That is way more productive than stressing over every little thing we can’t control, right?
Our week ends on Friday with a Chiron retrograde, reminding us that we have already taken some very courageous steps over these last few years. Time to take a hot minute to absorb it all? Yes. Definitely.
Although there are only three alignments this week, those alignments count. They mean something. They pack a punch.
What’s more, the first of these configurations only unfolds on Friday, making Monday through Thursday a time of building energy. The weekend lands with a startling, yet titillating Venus-Uranus square. Shaking us out of our comfort zones, this square is electric and uncomfortable for most of us, especially those who have any major planets in the fixed signs of Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, or Scorpio. Nevertheless, this is a cosmic call to learn adaptability, to embrace sudden change as if we had chosen it ourselves. Easier said than done, sure. Whatever our personal perspective is on this situation, the lesson is still there. We can choose whether to resist or to welcome the experience with open arms. So what if our relationships are a little topsy-turvy? So what if we’re chasing our tails financially? We can’t stop the rain, but we can decide to dance in abandoned glee, or take an umbrella. We have options.
Sunday brings our next two alignments, with one being a glorious New Moon in the passionate, self-expressive sign of the Lion(ess). A Leo New Moon is a warm invitation to start projects close to our hearts. To love more. To fully embody all of our personality, without shame, without judgment. There’s a sweet joy that arrives with this lunation. It helps to smooth over some of the chaos. We realize that there are new paths ahead of us. We just have to commit to the process. Leo rules the hearth and home, family and romance, creativity and pleasure. Which of these words most appeal to you? Which ones make your heart jump for happiness? Pick one. Pick two. Pick them all. Make them your guiding north star in the months to come.
Almost right away, Venus slips from proud Leo into reserved Virgo. Here, she cleans up the exuberant indulgence we might have been experiencing over these last few weeks, particularly emphasized when she met with Uranus on Friday. With this transit, we’ll get our ducks in a row, making sure that our accounts are accounted for and our budgets re-budgeted. We’re less grand here, but more practical. We have the ability now to take those creative inspirations we received during her time in Leo and craft these plans into tangible, sensible reality. Ah, that’s better.
This week is all you. Mars, your cosmic ruler, meets in an ever so exciting alignment on Monday with Uranus, the sky god, the archetypal symbol of sudden and unexpected change. This unfolds in your financial sector, perhaps inviting a much-needed windfall or the ability to potentially make more money through a dormant talent of yours. Or, there’s a sudden expense. It could go either way, so be prepared to get creative. Mars marches along on Saturday into your knowledge and travel sector, igniting a two-month journey of learning and exploration. So much to know, so little time. You’re practically gobbling up new subjects, talents, and experiences. Yummy.
Monday is wild, so get ready for a cosmic storm of note as Mars and Uranus join in your sign. This has you doing something that nobody—absolutely nobody—would have predicted. It’s good to keep people on their toes, no? And doesn’t it feel good for you to break away from how you used to do things and shake your world up a little? Sure, it’s a little stressful. Sure, it could reflect anxiety. But it’s so much better than moving through quicksand, which you seem to have been doing lately. So what if you’re a little reckless? That’s how we learn, after all.
Mark your diary for Saturday because that’s when it all unfolds for you—all the action, all the excitement. Mars marches into your very own sign for the first time in two years, igniting a fire within you. A desire to get stuff done. To do all the things and so much more. Not that you ever needed an excuse to jump on the activity bus. The slightest whisper of a new and exciting activity has you frothing at the mouth. So what if nobody wants to do the things with you yet? You’re on a solo mission now. Just you and your trusty, curious, intelligent brain.
How is this Full Moon week treating you so far? It’s early days yet, but there’s this sense that you’re feeling a little more grounded, a little more solid, than usual. Yes, the usual emotions are coming up, as they always do. But you’re handling them so well. Look at you. Now, onto the important stuff. Relationships seem to be coming under scrutiny yet again, for the second time in a month. Did you let go of those connections that were no longer inspiring you? Are you doing the hard work of restructuring your relationships? Do you need to walk away at some point? Is that point now? Perhaps.
The weekend is pure power for you. Mars and Pluto dance together in a compelling, transformative trine, igniting your relationship sector and allowing you to connect with people who are, well, powerful. The phrase ‘power couple’ comes to mind, especially in terms of romantic relationships. But, this might also be platonic relationships. Who says that intense connections have to be of the amorous kind? We can have just as passionate connections to friends, or even to the people we work with. So, let what needs to unfold, unfold. Let go of what needs to go, go. Make space. Be fine with changing your mind, as many times as you wish.
Up for adventure? No? Well, you’d better be because that’s what the Universe seems to have in store for you. It may happen very quickly, without much warning. Have your (symbolic) bags packed. Get ready for a twist in the journey. We need these unexpected events to unfold because they keep us on our toes and help us to be more creative, you see. There’s a method in this cosmic madness. Saturday sees a whole new paradigm open up for you when it comes to the realm of your calling. The next two months might have you juggling more balls than you’ve ever juggled before. What fun.
The upcoming Full Moon shines a light on your foundations. Which of these foundations needs to be washed away? Which ones have been built on shaky ground? It’s time to do some excavation and clearing. To balance both your inner and outer worlds. To give as much to your personal life as you do to your professional. To create more security and let go of what doesn’t serve the bigger picture. You have big dreams lying ahead of you and even bigger adventures. Relationships particularly seem to be deeply compelling and powerful at the moment. Should you go there? You won’t be able to help yourself.
Monday shows a potentially quite shocking event come to unfold when it comes to your relationships. Someone close to you could, for example, act in a way that seems downright crazy, even reckless. They seem intent on breaking free, perhaps even suddenly jumping into conflict with yours truly. It’s hard not to be triggered but stand your ground. Be the rock. By the weekend, it all washes away, and then you’re faced with a decision. Do you stay, or do you go? In what way do your agreements need to be renegotiated? What do you need to let go of in order to develop a closer and more intimate connection?
On one hand, this week appears to see you dealing with some larger-than-life financial choices. This isn’t your first rodeo. It’s the second time this month that you’re negotiating the balance between give and take. You’ve got this. Time to move on to more exciting pastures, no? Those exciting pastures look very interesting indeed. They’re all about relationships, you see. With Mars marching into this sector of your chart for the first time in two years, this area of your life is about to get ignited in the fires of passion. Sure, there’ll be conflict. But there’ll also be attractions you can’t ignore, be they professional or personal. Just be mindful of starting a storm you can’t control.
A second Full Moon in your very own sign—how momentous! How important! What is coming around again for you to look at? The chances are strong that it has something to do with your sense of identity that’s undergoing a beautiful metamorphosis, like the caterpillar into the butterfly. Your wings are expanding. You’re learning the delicate balance of relating versus meeting your own needs. It’s not easy. No one ever said it would be. But you don’t do easy, do you? The end of the week sees you emerging from your cocoon, more powerful than you’ve ever been before.
Skip ahead to the weekend. Sure, there’s some upheaval coming your way on Monday, what with the crazy, chaotic cosmic alignments unfolding in your foundations' sector, where sudden endings may be expected. But you’ve got this. You’re used to having to suddenly renegotiate your path and navigate endings. Your gypsy spirit is being activated and maybe you even like it. The weekend, however, is special. See, Pluto in your sign is being connected to by a newly arrived Mars in your pleasure sector, in your dating sector. This brings delicious, compelling, intense love experiences your way. And what’s more, you’re the one in the driver’s seat.
Monday’s Mars-Uranus energy may have you very suddenly deciding to go on that journey you’ve always wanted to go on. To take that trip. To enroll in that course. To explore that skill you’ve always wanted to. Go ahead and take a chance. You need a break from feeling stuck anyhow. The Full Moon on Sunday has you balancing your connections, be they romantic or platonic. Maybe there are some people you need to let go of. Maybe the give and take isn’t equal, not because of anything but a possible lack of effort. That makes space for quality humans to come into your world.
The cosmos has declared it playtime. Not that you need much of an excuse. Any chance to play will feel oh-so-good for you. The next month or so gives you plenty of opportunities to express yourself, to shine your light, to get creative. Let your heart blaze with love from Monday onwards. The more love you give, the more love you’ll receive - not that this is the point, of course. Tuesday does bring a slightly darker energy in which there could be someone who’s jealous of your enormous heart, of your light. As such, they may attempt to belittle or control you. But you can see right through this, can’t you?
When it comes to your home space, you treat it as sacred. It’s your place to recharge, rest, and recuperate. The couch is your most favorite place, after the kitchen. From Monday, this area of your life gets lit up like a Christmas tree, reflecting several weeks of pure, happy home bliss. Family, even if they usually drive you crazy, will be a beautiful refuge for you to turn to. This may be your family of friends, or perhaps your partner. Anything and anyone can be family. Tuesday’s alignments do bring a brief period where some possibly toxic dynamics may come up. Clear the decks so that you can enjoy the rest of the month.
Thursday is the day. It’s the day when your ruler, Mercury, shifts into a new area of the chart for you, namely, the sector connected to the past, to your roots, to your sense of belonging. This may have you combing over times gone by with a fine-toothed comb, realizing all the bits and pieces that have made you who you are, all the experiences, the good and the bad, that have led to this present moment. It could behoove you to talk about this to someone neutral, someone who might be able to unpack your thoughts and help you make sense of what’s unfolded. This will set you up to make excellent future decisions.
The Sun is finally leaving your sign, signaling the end of your Birthday Season. That’s fine with you - you don’t much enjoy the spotlight anyway. Now’s the time to take the focus off of your personal development and onto your resources. Maybe you came up with some great ideas on where you saw yourself going in this next year. And maybe, just maybe, you need to put your money where your mouth is. Literally. Don’t fuss too much about it - your confidence at the moment is sky-high, making you willing and eager to showcase your talents to others. Abundance might be the direct result of your current courage.
Well, hi there Birthday Season! Aren’t you looking just delicious? Admit it - you’ve been waiting for this moment since your last birthday, haven’t you? The chance to celebrate, to shine, to glow your brightest, and to be seen and appreciated for it. The spotlight is all on you now, so lap it up. Plan that huge Birthday party. Take a chance on yourself and do that thing you’ve been waiting to do. Claim your place in the world. Make your wellness a priority. Give love. There’ll be a brief moment on Tuesday when you may be cut down, controlled, or projected upon. Not everyone likes it when you shine. But never you mind.
Mercury, your ruler, slides neatly into your sign come Thursday. It’s been a whole year since he visited you, making this a perfect time to trust your choices. To know what it is that you want, and act on it. Speak up. Share your plans with others. Get feedback, but make your own decisions anyway. You know best what’s good for you. There’s a quiet sort of confidence to you now that people will pick up on and trust. You may even be quite surprised at requests for leadership or guidance. Deep down, you know you have the best advice to give, so don’t shy away from what’s being offered.
Let’s skip ahead to the juicy stuff. Friday’s Chiron retrograde is the one you need to look out for. He’s going retrograde in your relationships sector, reflecting a time in which, well, there’s healing to be done. You’ve been on quite the journey lately, wherein you may have drawn towards yourself those who have needed some kind of help or support. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with lending this, yet, you may need to step back now to give them a chance to absorb. To try helping themselves. This will be by no means an easy feat, and indeed, you may even face some opposition before this happens. Nevertheless, stick to your guns.
The Sun enters the most visible sector of your chart from Monday onwards, opening up plenty of golden opportunities in these next few weeks for you to shine. You may be offered a position of leadership - a position which you’re more than ready for, despite any misgivings. The truth is, those misgivings are very likely to quickly disappear in a happy cloud of confidence as you find that you’re actually enjoying the spotlight. Tuesday does reflect a few shadows, but it’s nothing that you can’t handle. You’re witnessing your past self. You can see the temptation to go down that road. But you’re not listening, are you? No, not anymore.
As the Sun shifts into your fellow fire sign of Leo on Monday, your adventurous spirit gets lit up. The next several weeks are ideal for exploration, expansion, and personal development. For some of you, this may be quite literal (if you can go, go!). For others, this could be a case of picking up that course, or leading that workshop. Maybe it’s about taking a (safe) plant journey or embarking on a weeks-long yoga commitment. We all have different ways in which we like to grow. Find yours. It’ll bring you more joy than you could ever imagine. Shine that light bright.
You’ve had quite the journey lately when it comes to your personal relationships. You’re more than ready to move on, right? That’s not to say that things have been unhappy. They’ve probably just been quite emotional. Now’s the time when sharing really is caring, where your heart is wide open and ready to receive all the love and support that the Universe wants to give you, whether that’s through your sweetie or somewhere else. You’re not being disempowered. You’re embracing vulnerability. Real vulnerability is one of the strongest and bravest qualities that anyone can possess. Own it. There are so many beautiful blessings for you to tap into, and soon.
The Sun slides into your relationship sector on Monday, igniting a playful, pleasurable fire here. Being someone who’s naturally people-oriented, this shouldn’t feel like a major change for you. Nevertheless, you might be more drawn than usual to creating close, one-on-one partnerships. You’re usually better in groups, but under these auspices, you might find that you’re equally gracious in close connections. Be mindful of losing a little of yourself. Come back to you every now and then. Above all, avoid projecting any shadows onto the Other. Tune into your brilliant ability to be self-aware. Learn. Grow. Transform.
Work, work, work. It seems as though your plate is full from Monday onwards. Before you get your knickers in a knot, know that this work is likely to be very creative. To be fun. To be pleasant and enjoyable. In fact, you could find yourself having so much fun that you almost accidentally end up in a position of command. You? Timid little you? Yes, you. You have a spine of steel that most people don’t see, simply because you’ve gone through so much in life already. You’re a natural at this. Don’t let the pressure get to you. You can handle this all much better than you think.
Oops. Did you really just press the ‘buy’ button? Oh, yes you did. You naughty thing, you. Oh well, you’ll make up for it. You always do. Besides, by Sunday that indulgent, somewhat hedonistic mood fades into the background to be replaced by a sudden desire to get organized, to refine, prune, simplify. Who knows, maybe you’ll even throw out that thing that you bought. Or resell it. Or recall it. You just had a wild moment. We all do. It’s not a big deal. Besides, Sunday’s New Moon opens up all kinds of delightful vistas for play, self-expression, and creativity in the coming months.
Look at you, being all wild and unpredictable. Yes, you. You’re practically leaping out of your comfort zone at the moment. You’ve got to admit, it feels good, doesn’t it? To break free. To push back. To refuse to allow your past to define you. You’re a new person, each and every day, even if only a little. This week sees you expressing all of your messy, fun parts. Maybe your family won’t like it. Maybe they won’t even recognize you. It’s not a bad thing to keep people on their toes, you know. Don’t worry. Sunday’s New Moon allows for a sweet new start. New foundations will be born.
You didn’t just say that, did you? Was that you that made that crazy decision, that unusual choice? Maybe it’s not as unpredictable as you think. Maybe you’ve been stewing on this for far longer than you know. Your subconscious has a way of directing things. Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychologist, said that we tend to call fate that which is not made conscious. That which lies beneath. This is your chance to look at what’s unfolding out of the recesses of your being with your usual, sweet curiosity. The New Moon on Sunday offers a brand-new perspective, new lessons, new horizons.
Let’s just skip ahead to the New Moon because that’s what you’re curious about, isn’t it? Being ruled by the Moon, it’s always an important new cycle for you when La Luna joins with the Sun, seeding all kinds of potentials. This time, the potential unfolds in the sector connected to abundance for you. The sector linked to not only the abundance of finances, but also the abundance of your skills, your talents, your gifts. It’s time to show these off. Time to polish off those abilities of yours and make them shine again. You have a few months. There’s no pressure. But get started, will you?
A New Moon in your sign is always a reason to glow. You do love the spotlight, even if you’re one of the shyer versions of your sign. Sometimes that spotlight is the one we shine on ourselves. Maybe it’s the focus that we bring to our personal growth and development. This should be where your energy goes over these next several months. Relationships can wait. Work can wait. Or at the very least, they can be given second or third priority, after you and your well-being. How can you express yourself more? Show more of yourself to the world? Be more, well, you? See that new path opening itself up? It’s all for you.
Yes, yes, there’s a New Moon, and that’s all very well and good, but you want the juice. The good stuff. And guess what? Your timing is perfect. Venus, the planet of love and romance, enters your very own sign on Sunday, revealing a period of pure pleasure and deliciousness just for you. You’re feeling attractive. You’re feeling loved. You’re eager to please. Your positive energy is vibrating out for everyone to partake of. Your vibe attracts your tribe. Go on and spoil yourself. Get that haircut. Buy those shoes. Flirt with that hottie. Accept offerings of devotion. Be worshipped.
Venus, your ruler, is all over the show this week, sprinkling her golden goddess magic anywhere and everywhere. First, she aligns with Uranus in a wild square aspect, revealing a touch of instability in your connections or perhaps even your investments. It’s okay. You, of all people, know just how to balance the books, how to mediate the conflicts. This storm will pass quickly. After Sunday, your social life should calm down substantially, as Venus slips away from this sector and enters the area of your chart connected to privacy and inner work. This doesn’t mean you’re going to be lonely. It just means that your social butterfly wings will be nicely balanced with plenty of ‘me time’.
People are crazy. That’s the conclusion you’ll probably reach this week. You can’t control them. You can’t fix them. But you can join them, you know. You have the ability to tap into the excitement that’s all around you this week. Sure, it’s wild. It’s unpredictable. It’s asking you to be more flexible. Not your forte, but, once you embrace the changes, you’ll fly. You always do. Sunday’s New Moon opens the door for some magnificent professional opportunities. Opportunities that allow you to be more creative, more yourself. To shine. To glow. To dazzle. You have a few months to make this magic work for you.
Ready for adventure? Got that bag packed? You’d better. Because the truth is, adventure is probably going to find you, whether you like it or not. Things are changing rapidly, asking you to be even more adaptable than usual. You’ve got this. You were born ready. Throw the schedules out the window. Dance away from routine, especially from Friday onwards. New opportunities seem to be coming along, ones that may set you free and allow you to be more of you. Which is to say, the adventurer, philosopher, teacher, explorer. These are your archetypes. Welcome them all. Your professional life is also getting a delightful little boost come Sunday. Yay for you!
Look, this week is going to be a little wild. Gird your loins. Get ready to let loose. Your love life, in particular, looks set to become very interesting indeed. You need this. You need a moment to let go and let whatever happens, happen. Maybe you meet someone unexpected. Maybe you and your honey do something totally out of your comfort zone. Maybe you splurge. And maybe you regret it. But you’ll have learned. Besides, abundance is making her sweet way towards you with the New Moon on Sunday. Soon, you may be the recipient of someone else’s generosity. Lucky you.
Your golden moment unfolds on Sunday with the New Moon in your relationship sector. If you’re yearning for a connection, then this is the moment for the seed to be planted. The next few months will be telling, so keep an ear and eye out for the signs. Open your heart. Let them in. It’s time. Friday’s energy just prior should shake you up just enough to let this process unfold. The winds of change have arrived. You’re ready for new connections. Renewed connections. Warmer connections. Sweeter relationships. More genuine, more heartfelt. Just - more. When you’re authentically ready to be vulnerable, the Universe will respond to that call more quickly than you anticipated.
Friday may see work go awry; projects change, tasks get altered, your diary and routine go out the window. That’s okay. You needed a little more space and freedom anyhow. Besides, Sunday’s New Moon opens up doors for new and exciting opportunities to be manifested. See? You needed the shift. With all of this said, the main cosmic news for you is the move of Venus into your relationship sector. She was last here a year ago, making this time feel, well, quite special. New connections may be formed. Improvements can be made in current connections. Acts of service serve as your Love Language. Let this sweetness seep in.
