Mondays are named after the Moon, and today our nearest celestial companion is waxing through fiery Aries, picking up momentum as it prepares to reach fullness in determined Taurus by midweek.

There’s a growing sense of anticipation, as if the sky itself is winding up to something important. While the Aries Moon sparks passion and quick decisions, the coming Full Moon invites us to build something lasting.

This week brings us to a powerful culmination. A cycle is ready to be completed, and a fresh promise can be considered.

ARIES

(March 21 – April 20)

The Moon in your sign today has you reacting like a sparkler. Fizzy feelings are fine as long as you capture the energy and move it in the direction in which you are determined to go. Focusing on what will make the most difference in the long term is better than chasing what looks exciting right now. Your instinct that things are ready to start happening is spot-on – but hold space for the practical side of the plan and for now focus your energy on doing the right thing. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0301*

TAURUS

(April 21 – May 21)

One of my favourite Taureans told me recently that they felt a little envious of the other signs. They felt their sign was a little bit boring. You may be creatures with a diligent nature, but you’re not as predictable or uninteresting as you might think. This week, with the Moon inching ever closer to its peak in your sign, it’s no wonder that you’re feeling more sensitive than usual. Today, it might feel like the calm before a very meaningful storm. What’s coming is really exciting. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0302*

GEMINI

(May 22 – June 22)

I tend to chase after shiny objects, so I know how tempting it can be to find a distraction rather than work through a sense of discomfort. The last thing you need, though, is to spend time pursuing anything else. What you do need is a reason to believe that all this running around is getting you somewhere. Today, that reason arrives. A conversation or message sparks a thought that turns into something more meaningful. You are very close to a breakthrough. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0303*

CANCER

(June 23 – July 23)

You’re not usually one to seek the spotlight, but today brings a sense of heightened ambition. With that, of course, comes a healthy dose of anxiety. We often pathologise that feeling, but apprehension and excitement represent both sides of a coin that we all have sitting in our emotional purse. Without a little doubt and risk of something not going your way, a positive outcome is nowhere near as satisfying. You’re deciding what success feels like. That’s worth getting excited about. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0304*

LEO

(July 24 – August 23)

Wise people know not to do their supermarket shopping on an empty stomach. When we’re hungry it’s easy to get carried away and bite off more than we can chew. The Moon in Aries sets your mind racing and your ideas shining more brightly. There is nothing wrong with grabbing plenty of options today. Just make sure you pause for a last look before you head to the checkout. There’s little point in loading the trolley with things you haven’t got time to digest. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0305*

VIRGO

(August 24 – September 23)

Some people throw away items that need fixing. You prefer to look at ways in which you can mend things. Today, however, your approach is likely to be a little more rash. Being ruthless when it comes to situations that are draining your energy is really nothing to fear. The worst-case scenario is that you put something down that you later wish you could get back. Life has a clever way of ensuring that we are never without what we truly need. Trust your instincts now and let go. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0306*

LIBRA

(September 24 – October 23)

Equal partnerships do not run on a 50-50 basis. The healthiest, most sustainable dynamics are not split down the middle but based on a willingness to compromise and accommodate each other with respect. With the Moon in Aries facing off with your sign, tensions could rise. But there’s insight in the friction. Pay attention. What feels out of balance? Identifying it will allow a relationship to be rebuilt stronger. Speak up about what you need now. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0307*

SCORPIO

(October 22 – November 22)

You’re readying yourself to clear the mental and emotional clutter that has been weighing you down. Today’s Moon reminds you that routine matters, but if it ties you into a situation which doesn’t sit right, you must be allowed to break free. You may feel a little frustrated or stuck, but you will soon find that your everyday life looks very different. For now, just focus on what you can control. One small change will free up your energy. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0308*

SAGITTARIUS

(November 23 – December 21)

There’s no shortage of ideas flying around in your world today. But which ones are worth grabbing? The Moon in your fellow fire sign Aries has you itching to act. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t chase after something that feels right today… as long as you are not intending to let go of any responsibilities along the way. Commitments are never as easy to make after the fun wears off. Focus on a way to keep moving the needle today and you will rediscover joy in the process. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0309*

CAPRICORN

(December 22 – January 20)

We’re all sensitive to temperature. We notice an extra coal on the fire, even if it only boosts the thermometer a fraction. Your emotional state heats up a little today and you feel compelled to act on a matter that has been causing you agitation. But cool your head down before you react. You may find that the air soon clears without you having to do very much at all. Something is rising now. Let it come to fruition and it will offer a better outcome than you are fearing. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0310*

AQUARIUS

(January 21 – February 19)

Is there such a thing as thinking too much? Surely the problem on this planet is too many people doing things without thinking, rather than the other way round. In truth, impulsivity has its place. Sometimes things really are as simple as they seem. In those moments, moving according to how you feel is not just acceptable, it is essential. Trust your instincts today and speak up about how you feel. Communication is the key when it comes to being accepted. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0311*

fish

(February 20 – March 20)

Are you being valued appropriately? Or are you accepting less than you’re worth? How do you see yourself, and how do others reflect that back to you? Having a conversation before you make an important decision may help with this assessment – but not as much as you taking the time to determine your own standards. Come to a point of clarity about what you actually want before you open yourself up to be persuaded otherwise. You are far more capable than you believe, so don’t let anybody downplay you. The upcoming Full Moon has a message for you. To hear it, call 0905 789 0312*
