The Sun leaves behind the dreamworld of Pisces for an awakening in Aries, herald of the spring and ruler of new beginnings. A New Moon in Aries in the 7th House of the Interpersonal further illuminates the equinox. As you set intentions for the path ahead, tap into your reserves of confidence and compassion. Take charge of your role in this world we share. Are you going to live selfishly or selflessly? Can you make small sacrifices for the greater good? Kindness is most contagious.
ARIES
(March 21 – April 19)
Ruler Mars and Pluto grapple in the sky, releasing great stores of aggression within you. Don’t cower. Grab the ram by the horns and put this power to work: not just for you but for others, too.
TAURUS
(April 20 – May 20)
You look good in a pair of rose-tinted glasses, Taurus, through which you see the best in others. Encourage your loved ones to slow down and live in the moment with you. What is essential is invisible to the eyes.
GEMINI
(May 21 – June 20)
As ruler Mercury buzzes by the New Moon, communication increases between your head and heart. Your experiences are rich with emotion and they make for great stories. We all need a laugh right now.
CANCER
(June 21 – July 22)
The New Moon in Aries gently opens a door within you. You may be surprised to find that the person on the other side is both confident and emotionally intelligent. Come out of your shell and show the world what you’re made of.
LEO
(July 23 – Aug. 22)
Chiron conjunct ruler Sun points to wounds that may be holding you back from shining fully. You don’t have to fix them. You just have to fill them with your understanding. The cracks are how the light gets in.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Emotions aren’t necessarily your bag, Virgo, though you’ve got plenty of baggage tucked out of sight. While ruler Mercury catches feelings from the passing Moon, be open to opportunities to express yourself.
LIBRA
(Sept 23 – Oct. 22)
With ruler Venus in Taurus and the Sun in the 7th House of the Interpersonal, your ability to connect more deeply makes you a magnet for untethered souls. Throw them a lifeline and let your idealism guide them to shore.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Your powers of manifestation are at their peak, with the New Moon in Aries and Mars igniting ruler Pluto. Intention is the basis of magic but remember: absolute power corrupts absolutely. Don’t be a wicked witch.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Balancing your enthusiasm with practicality will lead to new growth, just like a gardener prunes his blooms to encourage stronger buds. The clearer your intentions, the more sustainable your garden.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Ruler Saturn, with its penchant for practicality, tempers ambitious Mars. Likewise, your sustained efforts require patience. Don’t let the slow trickle of progress discourage you. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You can’t decide between pleasure and chastity with the Moon in your sign in the 5th House. Now is a good time to be aloof but find ways to tap into your creative energies that will leave you satisfied, so to speak.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 – Mar. 20)
Ruler Neptune and the Moon in your sign make you so sensitive you can feel someone’s mood change across the room. In these emotionally volatile times, surround yourself with those who understand your empathic nature.
