The full moon on the 15th is especially energizing for travel and communications. Also on the 15th, the probing sun-Pluto merger helps uncover what was previously hidden, and Venus transiting into Aquarius encourages humanitarian and group activities. Next, Jupiter squares off with Saturn on the 16th-17th, creating a conflict between expansion and limitation, especially for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. The following day, communications turn erratic (or brilliant) during the Mercury-Uranus collision. On the 21st, the sun transits into Capricorn, followed by Venus turning retrograde Dec. 24-Feb. 3, which encourages a reevaluation of relationships. And finally, the Mars-Saturn battle on the 27th-28th favors constraint over action, especially regarding finances and relationships.

If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Relationships turn complicated and need special TLC around the 16th. Ditto on the 27th-28th, when intimacy challenges you (finances enter into the mix as well). The full moon accompanies an urge for travel and increasing your knowledge.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

A major financial decision may crop up during the full moon-time to decrease your debt? Home and relationship stress may surface around the 16th and 27th, so use your considerable charm and common sense to create harmony.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

An urge for change in your relationship may prompt a challenging but revealing communication on the 15th-19th. Fortunately, love gets an extra dose of harmony from Venus then, too. The full moon also energizes relationship trysts.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

The full moon and other cosmic influences prompt you to reevaluate your health and diet routines. Overspending on children or entertainment may strain your finances this month, when an unexpected expense could materialize.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The full moon energizes romance and socializing with friends. A family disagreement over finances or spirituality may crop up mid-month. And avoid forcing a career situation or decision at the end of December.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your career gets a burst of energy from the full moon, when family activities skyrocket also. However, a jolting family interaction that involves your partner or the past may unhinge you mid-month; strive for clear communications.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

To spend or not to spend, that is the quandary mid-month when finances are a bit squeezed. Romance gets an overhaul during Venus retrograde. And the full moon heightens communications, learning and the urge to travel.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You may be pressed to make a financial decision mid-month, when you feel personally unresourceful. A clear plan that includes your long-term goals will help. The full moon also emphasizes finances and may bring in some extra money.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A thorough evaluation of your dreams and goals is encouraged mid-month, when an “ah ha!” flash of inspiration can motivate you. The full moon fires you up, but you’ll need to rein in overindulgences by month’s end to keep energized.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Turn inward to uncover an emotional roadblock, which can now be eliminated to propel you forward. The full moon also emphasizes psychological cleansing. A romantic contretemps at month’s end may prompt a heart-to-heart talk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Love blooms after the 15th, when your creativity is heightened too. However, you may have to deal with a romantic challenge first, and again at month’s end, before harmony resumes. The full moon also energizes romance.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A tug-of-war between family and career activities may need some balancing, especially during the full moon, which emphasizes family interactions. By mid-month, you may also feel the urge to reevaluate your career goals.
