The Moon is keenly interested in your work, illuminating what you need to do and by when. That might seem straightforward, maybe even comforting. However, Luna's tense link with Mercury affecting your home and family could pose a problem. That work-related finish line might not appear as simple or easily crossable if a domestic issue arises. So, be patient and flexible, Aquarius!

You could have your sights set on distant regions – but might there be much going on closer to home? The Moon illuminates big ideas related to travel and exploration. But as Luna connects with Mercury, wanderlust could be curtailed. Your local community could offer exciting opportunities if you're willing to get out there and find them. Yes, your local community. So go on. Give it a chance.

You can be one very caring individual but don't allow your generosity or kindness to put you in a position to be taken advantage of. You could make someone's life too easy, doing them more of a disservice than helping them stand on their own two feet in a way they should. Returning your focus to your needs more often can remind you not to overextend yourself.

“Watch your mouth.” That's a daft saying, given that “watch what you say” makes more sense. Make that your motto now, Taurus, because your tongue might be sharper than usual. Chatty Mercury opposes the Moon affecting others which could result in heated exchanges. So, if you must stand your ground or defend a point, keep telling yourself there are right and wrong ways to do both.

Hearing voices, Gemini? No, you're not losing your marbles! Your subconscious receives special cosmic focus, and your inner voice could be the messenger for insights and revelations arriving that you may not pinpoint the sources of. In the same way a radio or TV needs proper tuning, you'll get there before long. The more open-minded you are, the easier the tuning-in process will be!

The Moon illuminates self-expression and creativity, so your attention could be fixed on a goal or project that lights a fire within you. But Luna challenges Mercury affecting your social contacts and alliances, so not everyone will be on board with your passionate pursuit. If this is romance-related, remember that you need the “nos” to get the “yeses.” Don't be deterred if, at first, you don't succeed.

Nothing stops you from setting your own agenda or schedule now. In fact, it might be best if others don't understand why you arrange or structure your day in the way you do. But even if you're determined to go your own way, be prepared to respond to an authoritative individual or VIP if they need you with little or no notice. Letting them down won't be wise.

There could be much demanding attention in more than one area of your world, so be prepared to manage distractions as they arise. There's no point getting frustrated because your time, attention and input could be exactly what others need – and if they benefit from you offering each, you'll benefit, too. So, make yourself available, especially if all you have to do is listen.

Don't be surprised if conversations regarding what's yours and what's someone else's arise. Issues relating to ownership are likely, and money could be at the root of this “evil.” But be willing to take someone's or others' perspectives into account. Stand your ground, but before you vehemently defend what you believe is yours, be sure it truly is yours!

Oh dear, Scorpio. This could be one of those days when everyone seems to know what buttons to press to set you off. As the Moon in your sign clashes with chatty Mercury, affecting partnerships and one-to-one connections, others' words in whatever way they offer them could touch all the wrong nerves. Counting to ten before responding helps you and them.

Life in the slow lane could be appealing, and creating a To-Do List with the fewest tasks may be easy now. If you can do both and get away with it, then great. However, obligations will beckon, and you might have to accelerate from zero to sixty at the drop of a hat. Feel free to put off anything that isn't urgent until another time. But leave gaps in your relaxed schedule to turn on a dime if you have to!

So, do you want to hang out with your besties or go it alone? The Moon illuminates groups and friendships, helping you feel connection-oriented. However, Luna clashes with Mercury, affecting creativity and passion. So, something or someone able to make your heart beat faster could settle this dilemma. If you need to take a rain check with chums, explain why. Don't simply vanish.
