Aries
March 21 to April 20
Today’s Full Moon occurs in the passionate sign of Scorpio and at a more emotional level, which could make you much more aware of where you may be a bit too attached to something, a person, or a lifestyle choice. But equally, it can be an opportunity to think about getting a better balance between the incomings and outgoings around your finances. What calls out to you?

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Relationships are very much to the fore with today’s lunation and will be over the next two weeks. It may be that someone would like to spend more time with you, whilst you feel more focused on your creative plans. But with your ruler, Venus, in a strong link with the planet of stability, Saturn, it could be someone from your past that comes to mind, and evocatively.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
As you come into May, balancing your energy, your demands, and your need for rest, will be to the forefront of your mind. And with your ruler Mercury merging with Chiron, the healer, it may be that a friend’s advice or insights could prove to be particularly valuable. At work, if you feel hemmed in or things are too mundane, a change can appeal, Gemini.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Full Moons are always very important to you, Cancer, because your ruler is the Moon. And today’s, in your sister water sign of Scorpio, is asking you to think, are your future plans really in tune with your personal expression in the way that resonates? You might also be thinking carefully in terms of your work, for example, whether you are on the right track.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
The planets are scattered across the most public part of your situation, either through friendship, work, travel or education, but with the Full Moon today in the most private of areas, you may find yourself reflecting quietly or needing a moment of peace and solitude. And if something doesn’t “feel right”, the next fortnight is the time to address it, Leo.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
A seemingly routine chat can throw up some interesting pointers today. This may be with someone you work with, an experienced colleague or perhaps a line manager. They may feel that you have acumen that they can use more, or a friend could encourage you to work with your resources more shrewdly. If a relationship has felt stuck, a change of scene can help.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
The Steady Eddie of the zodiac, Saturn, is forging a really helpful link to your ruler Venus, just as we have the Full Moon. This suggests that if you’re not enjoying your work at the present time but wonder if you could do something on your own terms using your own creativity, then you should have a lot of optimism about how you could break out, but also collaborate.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Today’s annual Scorpio Full Moon can see you thinking very carefully about your connections with others, but it could just be as much about work or family relationships, with the Moon in a tense right angle with your modern ruler, Pluto. Indeed, things that have been left unsaid are going to be much more likely to come into the open over the next two weeks.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Someone you really like can become a much more permanent feature of your situation, Sagittarius, but ironically, you can also become much more conscious of who is not meeting your standards. And it may be a surprise of just who, as an unplanned conversation could show that someone has not really had your back in the way that you’d like or had expected.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
You know the old maxim – we can’t please all of the people all of the time. But then, it could be you who’s setting your standards higher now, on who you will want in your inner circle – whether socially or romantically. And the reason for this is the developing influence of your ruler, Saturn, in the most protective part of his journey and emphasising your need for security.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Work-life balance can seem ever more elusive these days, despite all the labor-saving devices that we seem to have. And that could be something you’re grappling with over the next two weeks. But with the gorgeous Venus forging a really powerful link to your ruler, Saturn, whatever you discuss about this, you’re likely to navigate this positively, Aquarius.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
You have an innate gift, Pisces, for working out situations by tuning into the atmosphere and divining what’s really going on without the need for a discussion. But despite this, the next fortnight does give you the opportunity to have some important conversations, and one of the areas that you may be considering is around your home or family finances, and helpfully so.
