General for Week Commencing: Monday 06 May 2024

	Aries	Monday 06 May 2024	Mar 21 - Apr 19
Moving into the new week with the Moon in Aries is always going to be an advantage and especially as this offers a chance for a reset. The Moon has come full circle from last month’s eclipsing New Moon and with the Sun gone and your birthday month over, this should be a chance to tie up the loose ends from the launch of this new solar year. Instead, the Moon has returned to find Mars here, with his return last week kicking off a new Mars cycle. Instead of slowing down, things are speeding up. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to your income sector will have multiple implications. As well as sharpening your nose for money and bringing a chance to become more emotionally and intuitively engaged as Jupiter moves into the final weeks of his 12 month quest for income growth and expansion, this is going to fire things up on the income, work and career fronts in the heart of the working week.

	Taurus	Monday 06 May 2024	Apr 20 - May 20
Ahead of the Moon’s return to Taurus on Tuesday, there is a need to have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground but without overthinking things. While the Moon returns every four weeks, even if it wasn’t returning to begin the lead up to a New Moon that in the heart of your birthday month will give you a chance to commit to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead, this was going to be a pivotal visit. With Jupiter now in his final three weeks in Taurus, this is the Moon’s last visit before the 12 month launch of this new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion ends and the real journey begins. This makes Wednesday’s New Moon a chance for new beginnings and to commit to both the short and the longer journey ahead. Meanwhile, knowing that the Sun, Jupiter and Venus will all be in your income sector by the end of the month, the Moon’s return on Thursday will be your last chance to check in before everything changes.

	Gemini	Monday 06 May 2024	May 21 - Jun 21
There is change in the air, but as the week progresses a sense of expectancy as the lines between the past, present and future start to blur. Halfway through the month long wind down of your old solar year, in the final weeks of a 12 year Jupiter cycle and with Venus in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart with both, as she takes your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, there is a lot of focus on the past. However, the Moon’s return to Gemini on Thursday is a chance to look to the future in a way that these monthly visits haven’t been able to until now. Since Jupiter returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart in May 2023, the Moon has returned to Gemini every four weeks. However, while this is far from the first time that this has happened, it is the last. With your birthday month and new solar year just 10 days away by the time the Moon leaves on Saturday, Jupiter just over two weeks away and Venus in Gemini by then, the future is all of a sudden just around the corner.

	Cancer	Monday 06 May 2024	Jun 22 - Jul 22
Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your career sector will always be an advantage, ensuring your professional instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged from the start. However, this will also make you more aware of the sea change that has taken place. This time last week Venus was just leaving your career sector, the Sun had been gone for nine days and Mercury was still at a standstill having just turned direct three days earlier. Fast forward a week and with the Moon having come full circle from last month’s eclipsing New Moon, everything has changed. A week on Mercury is not only speeding up but instead of slowing down, Mars’ return to your career sector last week has fired things up and will do for the next six weeks. This will continue even though the Moon moves on, with a New Moon on Wednesday the epicentre of what will be a stunning week across the communication, friendship and relationship fronts.

	Leo	Monday 06 May 2024	Jul 23 - Aug 22
There might be some mixed messages this week, as well as a greater call for the right work/life balance. While the week will begin with the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart, with Mars in his first full week here, even when it leaves on Tuesday and returns to your career sector, his passion for adventure is just starting to take hold. With Mars here for the next six weeks, while a parade of planets has moved through over recent months, none with the determination that the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos brings. This includes even after the Moon returns to your career sector, where he will join the Sun, Venus and Jupiter as you move into the final weeks of a 12 month quest for professional growth and expansion. It is right in the heart of the working week that a New Moon is going to energise things across the income, work and career fronts.

	Virgo	Monday 06 May 2024	Aug 23 - Sep 22
Having come full circle from last month’s eclipsing New Moon to find both the Sun and Venus gone from your financial sector, the Moon should be helping you to tie up the loose ends of your financial game plan for the coming year. Instead, while beginning the week with the Moon in your financial sector will ensure your financial instincts are sharp from the start, Mars’ return last week has put any thought of tying up loose ends on hold. Instead, Mars will be using everything until now as a starting point, as he fires up your financial passions and fighting spirit as he begins his first push in two years to take your financial power back. This will continue even after the Moon leaves and returns to an adventurous part of your chart on Tuesday. This begins the lead up to a New Moon that in the heart of the working week will energise things across the income, work and career fronts. With Pluto in his first full week in retrograde motion in your work sector and a parade of planets just weeks away from your career sector, the timing couldn’t be better.

	Libra	Monday 06 May 2024	Sep 23 - Oct 23
The Moon might be the fastest object in the solar system and it might race through each area of your chart every four weeks, it is moving through some of the most pivotal areas this week and with perfect timing. This makes beginning the week with the Moon in your relationship sector more than just a chance to be more emotionally engaged from the start. This first visit since Mars returned last week is a chance to get a read on a change in focus, with the warrior planet of the cosmos here to help you fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. The Moon will then go on to not only move through your financial sector during the heart of the working week but to create a New Moon just as Jupiter has moved into the final three weeks of his 12 month quest for financial growth and expansion. Meanwhile, while the Moon’s return to an adventurous part of your chart on Thursday might feel like nothing more than some light relief, this is a taste of things to come.

	Scorpio	Monday 06 May 2024	Oct 24 - Nov 21
Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your work sector will always be an advantage, giving you an intuitive read on work and job matters while ensuring you are emotionally and intuitively engaged from the start. This will also give you a read on the sea change that has only just taken place, with the Moon coming full circle from last month’s eclipsing New Moon to find the Sun and Venus gone and instead, with Mars firing things up on the job front for the first time in two years. This has brought you to the start of what could be some of the busiest six weeks of the year. This will continue even when the Moon not only returns to your relationship sector on Tuesday but for its last visit before Jupiter leaves and the only visit while the Sun and Venus are here. As a New Moon, this will be a chance for new beginnings and to commit to the journey ahead. It is then that the Moon’s return to your financial sector on Thursday will be a chance to check in on money matters and prepare for major developments over the coming weeks.

	Sagittarius	Monday 06 May 2024	Nov 22 - Dec 21
Beginning the week with the Moon in a playful and creative part of your chart is something that will benefit you personally and professionally while going a long way towards getting in front of what is destined to be a battle between the playful and busy sides of life’s fence. By the time the Moon returns to your work sector on Tuesday it will be building towards Wednesday’s New Moon, something that is going to energise things across the income, work and career fronts just as Jupiter has moved into the final weeks of his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion. Yet while this will see the Moon leave a playful and creative part of your chart, with Mars in the first full week of a six week visit and as the warrior planet of the cosmos he is always looking for something to fight for, this is when the fight for the right balance between work and play will be on. Yet with some busy weeks ahead, this couldn’t be more important.

	Capricorn	Monday 06 May 2024	Dec 22 - Jan 19
The Moon not only starts the week in your home and family sector but crossing the lunar nodes, something that every four weeks will put your work/life balance in the spotlight, the timing couldn’t be better. This is something that this time has Mars involved and this is going to give him something to fight for. However, this not only comes ahead of Wednesday’s New Moon and the focus this will put on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence in the heart of the working week, but just as you are drawing closer to the busiest months of the year. By the end of the year the Sun, Venus and Jupiter will all be in your work sector and while the Sun will only be here for a month and Venus for 24 days, once here Jupiter won’t leave until June 2025. Where you’re going, the right work/life balance isn’t a luxury but a necessity, with time to get it right before things become a lot busier.

	Aquarius	Monday 06 May 2024	Jan 20 - Feb 18
You not only begin the week with the Moon in your communication sector but seven days after Venus left her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice is in safe hands. A week on Mercury is not only back in direct motion, but the planet of communication begins the week aligned with Chiron, the planet of healing here for the third time in as many months. This is giving words the power to heal just as two days after Venus left, Mars returned to declare war on communication barriers for the first time in four years. Meanwhile, Venus is not only now more focused on making home where your heart is but has become part of a team of planets in your home and family sector that will be using Wednesday’s New Moon as a chance for new beginnings or to draw a new line in the sand. This makes this a good week for taking action on the home, family and/or property fronts. Meanwhile, while the Moon’s return to a playful and creative part of your chart from Thursday to Saturday will offer some light relief, this will also be a taste of things to come.

	Pisces	Monday 06 May 2024	Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Moon left Pisces over the weekend, as well as a chance to begin the new week emotionally and intuitively engaged from the start, this has helped with a gear change last week. The Moon returned two days after Mars left and just as the warrior planet of the cosmos had taken his foot off the gas. It was an alignment between Saturn and Neptune over the weekend as it moved through that allowed you to capture Mars’ warrior and competitive spirit but transition from his fast and furious to their more slow and steady approach. Meanwhile, the Moon not only begins the week in your income sector, but just as Mars has returned to declare war on glass ceilings, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined as he begins his first fight for what you deserve in two years. The Moon will leave on Tuesday while this will continue as it moves on to trigger a New Moon that will bring things together on the communication, friendship and relationship fronts in the heart of the working week.
