As Luna enters dedicated Capricorn, we’re further encouraged to get serious about living our truth. Don’t remain in the shadows.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
It’s time to create. You may have been gathering inspiration by allowing your emotions and ideas to simmer in your mind for quite some time. The time is right to put all of that thinking into the creative creation process. If you’re not the artistic type, then take today to start a business, market yourself by revamping your résumé, or present a project idea to a group of people who could help you put it into action. Make your ideas into reality!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Your words need action to support them. Maybe you’ve been talking about an enticing trip that you’ve been dreaming of, a fascinating class that you’ve always wanted to take, or a daring experience that has been on your mind. Whatever it is, the planets are calling you to walk the walk and put your dreams into practice. Follow your intuition and live your truth as you like, but don’t let life pass you by while you merely talk about living it.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
You’re leaving codependence in the past. You might have been depending on someone else a bit too much recently, which can incite internal stagnation. It could be a good idea to reach out to other friends or family and spend time with additional people for a bit. It’s a good idea to give some space to those you spend the most time with, giving you both room to miss each other. You’ll feel that much more excited to see them when you’re together again.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You might be focusing on someone else, such as a loved one or peer in need. They may be exhausted and running out of steam, and you can boost them back toward where they need to be. This is likely to be someone who has helped you in the past, or someone who will be able to help you in the future, but that’s not the reason you should show up for them. You simply ought to be a friend to have a friend.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
The starting bell has sounded, and you’re off to the races! The universe is reinvigorating you with an energy even bolder than your typical Leo flare. Any old sluggishness will be left in the dust as you speed up, heading straight for your goals and dreams. You’re also much more likely to benefit from consciously improving your health, especially when it comes to sports and exercise. Get moving, get excited, and let your enthusiasm propel you into your bright future!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Moving your body can impact you spiritually. You can currently benefit a lot from getting into a practice that allows you to unite your mind and body, such as yoga or tai chi. Allowing your physical form to move while you quiet your soul is a great way to align yourself and unlock a new level of peace in your inner life. There is the potential for frustration to crop up, but try to let it roll off your shoulders. Get into your zen.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
The people around you may be more motivating than they are normally. They could be hyping you up in order to support your newest stage of life or as you pursue an award, or they might be encouraging you to join them in a group activity. It’s important to pay attention to what they’re actually saying and avoid letting your insecurities get in the way of your personal enjoyment. They want to see you succeed, and you should want the same thing.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Ambition and career growth are feeding into one another.

You might even be able to gain work through entering competitions and showing what you have to offer. There’s a stronger potential of being scouted at any moment, so give it your all and don’t hold back!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
You’re really getting somewhere! You might have been studying a subject, pursuing a hobby, or practicing a skill for quite some time — even noncompetitively doing such things is great for your mind. That said, you’re presently likely to feel as though you’ve moved up a level of expertise, possibly because of the opportunity to mentor someone else or enter a competition to show off your skills. Stay humble, but remember all the time and effort that you’ve put in. You’re not an imposter!
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
You might feel driven to create a legacy. Setting aside your more general goals, the ones that you’re focused on today probably have to do with whatever you’re leaving behind. There could be a sudden urge to make sure that the people you care about are taken care of in the future. Maybe you can set up a process that will support future individuals with similar journeys to yours. Paying it forward can pay off majorly in the long run.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
The warmth of care can protect you from the coldest weather. You may find your care for someone else deepening during this time, or perhaps a passing acquaintance reveals that they really want to get to know you. Feelings can become deeper right now, and while that may affect romance, it can also mean that deep friendships are blossoming. Be aware of the people who actively want to spend more time with you, because this is a hint as to whom it may be.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Getting organized may feel easier than ever. You might see what needs to be done and do it with no hesitation, when before, being overwhelmed had you slamming on the brakes. Let the stars fill you with the motivation to get things done, instead of anxiety inciting dread of the chores ahead of you. It might help to come up with a reward system that encourages you to do more while you have the time and focus. You’ll be happy you did!
