Aries (March 21 - April 19)
It's time to look at the idea of relationships from an analytical perspective. Now that Mercury is direct in your sector of personal philosophy,you're ready t ponder complex thoughts and process your feelings a bit easier than in December.
The Last Quarter Moon will take place in the zodiac sign of Libra, raising your awareness about relationships — which ones to keep and which ones may not be compatible with your future goals. With the New year off to a good start, it's a good time to think about one word: BALANCE.
It's so easy to become distracted and confuse wants with needs. You may need people, but you also require space, personal development and time to think. Learning to embrace loneliness can be as good as thriving with others. You'll figure it out.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
There's no rushing progress, Taurus. You may be in a hurry to 'get things done' but what matters most in life is getting things in order, structuring your game plan and then taking swift action. The hard part of all projects is what happens in the background.
When the Last Quarter Moon in Libra hits your sector of routines, you are going to feel the big push to start making things happen. But, this is the season of closures. Shut doors that no longer need to be opened.
Remove things in your life that cause you to be off-balance or create productivity problems. A routine needs to run smoothly. Rather than try and ignore the foundational aspect of life, work within it and build.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Having a passion you pursue means singularity of focus, and that also means you need the time or space to make the magic happen.

You don't have to make this a huge hurdle to jump, especially if you own a small studio or rent a single room. Instead, make whatever you do sacred, and give your body cues to recognize that the time has arrived to create. Creating a sacred spot and signal rituals can be so useful to you.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
