Today’s exalted Moon phase is briefly influenced by a lingering and dynamic connection, and you may be inspired to explore interests you’ve never tried and inclined to look at ways to express your unique qualities, which could be very liberating. If there’s something you’ve been meaning to explore, this is an excellent time to make a start. You never know where it might lead.

With warrior Mars and powerbroker Pluto at loggerheads, something you want and need right now could fail to materialise. This might be because of a shortage of cash or ideas. The worst thing you can do is get overly frustrated too quickly. A better approach may be to use creative thinking to find a way forward. Getting a fresh perspective could be just what is required here.

With the Sun and Moon journeying through fellow earth sign Taurus, you’re in your element, yet possibly craving some leisure and downtime. Get ready, as a pleasant detour, invitation or curious discovery could light up your routine and introduce you to a new source of joy. Whether it’s a hobby, fresh experience or just a delightful twist, lean in and enjoy the change of pace.

Pluto in Aquarius may stir up financial tensions, and whether it’s spending, investments or an entrepreneurial idea, conflicts could arise. And yet patience will prevent crucial discussions from escalating. The New Moon in Taurus invites you to step outside your usual routine. A new hobby, creative pursuit or fresh experience, can bring unexpected joy and inspiration.

You’ll likely be thinking a lot about where you live, or how you live there early in the month. Conversations can have a kind of deja vu about them. This could be a bit frustrating, especially if you feel you’re repeating something you thought had been cleared up before. You may also consider a new mode of transport or a tech upgrade. But with the money planet Venus merging with your ruler Saturn twice, take your time to weigh up your options. Later in the month a more sociable vibe shapes up, and you could also find yourself attracted to a new financial opportunity.
