Aries
March 21-April 19
Confidence can bolster you to ask crucial questions. While the perceptive Moon in your communication zone reaches out to courageous Mars in your sign, you know what you want, and you're capable of clearly explaining it to potential helpers. Still, asserting yourself isn't all you have to do. You also need to listen to the responses you receive. Don't immediately commit to the first person who seems slightly interested -- probe a little deeper to be sure they're the right fit.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
A financial decision of yours may be less impulsive than it appears today. Does that necessarily mean it's the right call? While the vulnerable Moon in your money zone engages with defensive Mars in your 12th House of Secrets, you might feel like you must take swift action to protect yourself from a threat that isn't widely known. Although your intuition is valuable, it can easily become blurred when anxiety intrudes. Make sure your fears are founded in reality before you jump to conclusions.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Putting yourself out there is now an excellent idea. Due to the expressive Moon in your sign aligning with energetic Mars in your social 11th house, you're well-equipped to give the people you meet a taste of the real you. Some new acquaintances won't necessarily respond in kind, but this is good information to have -- it's better to find out right away if you're not on the same wavelength. Opportunities abound, so don't try to force a connection that doesn't seem to be working.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Your sensitivity can be a great ally for your ambition at this time. Although you're likely focused on achieving some specific goal, you'd also be wise to listen to your awareness of dynamics behind the scenes. If you know another person involved in the situation has a particular sore spot, that's not where you want to push. Be sure to look for other options. Getting your way right this second isn't the most important thing -- you need to do it right.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Bringing friends along on an adventure has the potential to be thrilling now, although it could occasionally compromise your grand vision. When the fluctuating Moon in your social sector supports motivated Mars in your expansive 9th house, your companions should be able to at least appreciate your leadership. Still, they might have conflicting needs or preferences of their own! Keeping an open mind can let everyone enjoy the best experience possible. You may even wind up genuinely enjoying a detour from your plan.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
You're likely willing to do whatever is necessary to get to the bottom of a complicated problem at this time. With the devoted Moon in your 10th House of Goals aligning with determined Mars in your mysterious 8th house, coming in contact with messy emotions probably won't scare you away. That said, you're also connected to your purpose enough to recognize an unhelpful tangent when you see one. It's possible that your focused effort will attract positive attention from someone you hope to impress!
Libra
September 23-October 22
Taking a relationship, platonic or not, to the next level is possible. As the sentimental Moon in your 9th House of Beliefs sextiles bold Mars in your partnership zone, you probably won't have to rely on sheer effort to keep your connection developing. Discovering you hold the same views on significant issues can align your paths so that you fall into a refreshingly easy flow state with the other person. When you know you're headed in the same direction, you can happily move forward.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
You're probably willing to work really hard at the moment. Under your brash exterior, perhaps you're secretly more vulnerable -- you're potentially motivated by the hope of getting a specific reaction from someone who matters to you. Admitting that might be hard because you likely know on some level that you're not able to fully guarantee a positive outcome, no matter what you do. Hold out hope, but try to take pride in the practical benefits of your efforts in the meantime.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Impressing someone special is presently possible. As the attentive Moon in your relationship sector complements passionate Mars in your playful 5th house, your creative wit is likely to show your companion a rollicking good time. Still, don't forget that shouldn't always have to be on display. Knowing when to sit back and relax is just as important as knowing the timing to land the perfect joke. Perhaps your conversation partner would like a chance to get a laugh out of you too!
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
An ambitious attitude can be centered around improving your home environment today. That said, getting things done isn't all about forcing yourself to push past pain. Although you probably have plenty of energy, slowing down now and then to pay attention to your emotions should supply you with important insights on your process. What feels good, and what doesn't? Give your effort the best possible chance to succeed by letting it flow toward the tasks and projects that naturally grab your attention.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
You're currently likely to be passionate about getting a point across to others. As the intimate Moon in your expressive 5th house encourages confident Mars in your communication zone, adding personal anecdotes can make your argument more relatable. Remember, there's no need to cross the line into manipulating your listeners to feel sorry for you! Instead, try to get them laughing. Finding the humor in even a difficult subject could make it seem less threatening -- and allow people to relax enough to listen.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
You may currently be inspired to increase your income. On the other hand, while the sensual Moon in your grounded 4th house supports ambitious Mars in your finance sector, you're likely coming from an emotionally secure place -- and this is potentially more significant to your success than you expect. When you're not desperate, you have room to turn down opportunities that aren't quite a comfortable match. These mismatches can, at minimum, help you by providing a clear picture of what you don't want.
