Waning Gibbous Moon in Cancer
Venus Retrograde Begins in Scorpio
Venus retrograde starts to move backward in obsessive Scorpio, and love and relationships get put under a lot of pressure.

Channel the passion productively, and reconnect with old love or recommit to existing healthy connections and projects.
Last Quarter Moon in Cancer
This can be an important period for clearing out emotionally over the next week, especially with Venus turning retrograde in Scorpio. Think about what you can release and let go of to free yourself up a little bit and help you feel more emotionally secure.
Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius
Power struggles and control issues can be rampant, but this doesn't have to mean you. Get away from those who want to dominate you, and work on quietly taking control of your own personal power.
Sun in Libra opposite Saturn in Aries
Try to get a break from responsibilities, even if just for a moment. You can get overwhelmed easily, so a break is needed.

Venus in Scorpio square Mars in Leo
Passionate energy can be high and strong, and this can be difficult to contain. Instead of containing it, try to channel it positively. It can do well with something creative, so work on a creative project or venture.
Libra New Moon
The Libra New Moon is usually great for focusing on your connections, entering into new partnerships, and making new commitments, but the ruler of Libra is retrograde (Venus). This means the New Moon is an opportunity for second chances, and you can consider reconnecting with someone from the past, restoring a partnership, or recommitting to a project or idea.
Moon Enters Scorpio
Everything can feel really intense over the next few days, so try to avoid lashing out. Have healthy outlets for frustrations, and hold off on fights.

Sun in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo
You can feel a little bolder and more daring, and this can help you find new opportunities. Be optimistic and expand your view.
Pluto Direct in Aquarius
Pluto ends its retrograde, and is now appearing to move forward again in Aquarius. This brings passion and intensity back for transformation and changes that are meant to open up your dreams and future. Use the energy well, especially with Venus currently retrograde in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto).

Waxing Crescent Moon in Capricorn
Moon Enters Aquarius
There can be changes to work on over the next few days, and you can consider how to make them quickly. They might be small, but they can be mighty as time goes on.
First Quarter Moon in Capricorn
Adjustments likely need to be made with your goals and plans over the next week, but they can be minor adjustments and not anything that throws everything off. This is because of the retrograde energy, and what's done now doesn't last forever, so small tweaks for the interim can be the right call.
Moon in Aquarius sextile Saturn in Aries
Work on long-term plans, and make tweaks to improve them. Try looking at them in a different way.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Aquarius
Venus in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius

Waxing Gibbous Moon in Pisces
Moon in Pisces trine Mercury in Scorpio
Find different ways to express yourself, and you can be more open. Work on seeing things in new ways.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Pisces
Sun Enters Scorpio
With the Sun moving to Scorpio, this kicks off Scorpio Season, and over the next month, energy can be passionate, intense, and serious. With Venus (and soon Mercury) retrograde, this is no surprise, and this Scorpio Season highlights deeply-held issues that require a transformation. That can be hard work, but it can be worth it.
Moon Enters Aries
Focus on what you want for yourself over the next few days. You might not get the chance to do anything right now, but can be ready when the chance presents itself later.
Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus in Scorpio
Issues that have been popping up thanks to the retrograde can get more attention now, and you can make decisions about how to deal with them. If you do it right, this can be a positive period that leads to growth and opportunities.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Aries
Mercury Retrograde Begins in Scorpio
Mercury now starts moving backward in Scorpio, and this can make it more important for you to work on positive transformations, to dig deeply into yourself and your life, and to face demons from the past. This can be challenging, but ultimately freeing, empowering, and rewarding.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Aries
Venus Retrograde Enters Libra
Venus goes backward from Scorpio to Libra, and Libra is one of the signs Venus naturally rules, so this amplifies the impact. It can bring out the issues in your relationships and partnerships, baggage and karma, and you may have to face truths about your connections and commitments. Go easy on yourself and others, maintain some balance and peace, and try to avoid major decisions, especially since Mercury is now retrograde as well.
Moon Enters Taurus
Focus on stability and security over the next few days. It can be important for you to center yourself, ground yourself, and be calm.
Waxing Gibbous Moon in Aries/Taurus
Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius
Fighting for power and control doesn't give you the outcome you desire, nor the "win" you might be looking for. Try to get to the heart of the matter, or ask yourself what is really bothering you.
Taurus Full Moon
The Taurus Full Moon is usually a time to relax, indulge, and be stable, but the ruler of Taurus is retrograde (Venus), so this is much like the Libra New Moon (since Venus rules both signs). This Taurus Full Moon can be a great time to reconnect with the present moment, to remove blocks to stability and security, and to focus on the root causes of insecurity and self-doubt.
Moon in Taurus square Jupiter in Leo
Taking time to take it easy can be okay as long as you're not being reckless about it. A small moment of space can be enough.
Moon Enters Gemini
Pick back up an idea from the past over the next few days. You can find a new way to approach it that will make it work this time.
Waning Gibbous Moon in Taurus/Gemini
Moon in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries
Take a look at the direction your life is going in, and make sure you're on the right path. If tweaks are needed, make them.
Waning Gibbous Moon in Gemini
Moon in Gemini trine Venus in Libra
Find new ways to work well with others. Be a good partner, respect boundaries, and be committed.

Stick to what you know best over the next few days. You may not be all that interested in anything new and different, and need the comfort and familiarity.
Waning Gibbous Moon in Gemini/Cancer
Mercury in Scorpio square Mars in Leo
Old fights can come back around, and you may feel like rehashing all over again, but this doesn't help you or the situation. Try to find a different perspective.
Waning Gibbous Moon in Cancer
Moon in Cancer square Venus in Libra
It might be a good idea to avoid people for a bit, and get some time alone. A little indulgence might lift your mood.
