A walloping dose of idealism and optimism is ushered in by the New Moon-Neptune-Jupiter energy beginning Sunday. How high can your vision take you and who will benefit from it?
The Aquarius influence champions the underdog and is an excellent time for taking up a cause close to your heart. Just be sure to add a teaspoon of common sense to realize your goals-easier to do when Venus moves into practical Capricorn on Feb. 4 and the Sun teams up with sensible Saturn around Feb. 10.
Still, what could be better than envisioning a better future for yourself and the world? Keep one foot on the ground and let your dreams soar …
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your Mars ruler energizes travel and education, and gives you the courage to pursue your objectives. The New Moon awakens new goals and may bring a friend into your life who will be influential to your future plans.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The New Moon brings new career developments, but you’ll have to stay focused for the advancement to materialize. Your Venus ruler transiting into Capricorn will be good for finances, and also highlights travel.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Communications are energized during the New Moon, with an emphasis on learning something new. A trip could also materialize, but you’ll have to be careful of plans shifting unexpectedly, which could throw you off course.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Moonchildren are encouraged to clean house-metaphorically speaking-during the New Moon, so what emotional or mental “garbage” do you need to pitch into the trashcan? Also, be careful of a financial misunderstanding.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Lions could be on shaky ground with partners during the New Moon because of Neptune’s illusionary influence, but stability should kick in from Saturn around Feb. 10. Keep communications clear to avoid misunderstandings.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
An act of kindness on your part will go a long way during the New Moon. A sacrifice may be asked of you in the form of service. Keep your energy high by tightening up on your dietary and exercise regimen.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your Venus ruler activating your homelife is a great time for entertaining friends at your abode. You may also succumb to the redecorating bug. The New Moon energizes your love life and highlights creativity as well.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The New Moon brings a new development in your family, as well as a possible misunderstanding because of Neptune’s influence, so be extra-clear in communications. Fun-loving Venus could indicate a short-distance trip.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The New Moon activates your Jupiter ruler’s connection to illusionary Neptune, increasing your vision but adding a dollop of craziness to communications. Live your dream but keep your head out of the clouds, at least most of the time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Watch out for financial snafus during the New Moon, which could also bring in new moneymaking energy if you read the fine print and communicate clearly. Venus in your sign ensures your share of romantic adventures.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The New Moon in your sign can either destabilize you through Neptune’s nefarious influence or bring you to higher spiritual heights through Neptune and Jupiter’s positive influence. Stay grounded and fly.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your Neptune ruler connected closely to the New Moon activates your dreamy nature, great for creativity but could put your personal life on shaky ground. Strive for clarity in communications and be true to yourself.
