With the next few days set to become even busier, today’s adventurous lunar vibes are doing their best to keep things balanced.

Fortunately, the Moon, who is only here until tomorrow isn’t doing this on its own, with a friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in an adventurous part of your chart helping out. This will make it easier to go into some busy days with guardrails in place.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
A major tilt or shift from the playful to the busy side of life’s fence is not only just days away, it is going to be nearly complete.

Yet by the time Mars returns in seven days the Sun, Mercury and Venus will be here and the Moon will have moved through. For now, they are not only still in a playful and creative part of your chart but with the Moon returning tomorrow to begin the first New Moon of 2026 and a push to make their final days here count.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
With life set to take a lighter turn, there is a chance to reassess your intentions and aspirations for the coming year. If you make resolutions that were restrictive or focused on what you would stop or eliminate from your life, you might need to rethink that and pivot to what you can add to your life. While Pluto, the planet of change and transformation has been on his own in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart since February 2025, by the time Mars returns in seven days, it will be to find the Sun, Venus and Mercury here and with the Moon having moved through between now and then.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
It is just as Mars moves into his final seven days in your communication sector and of his war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, that a friendly aspect between Venus, the planet of love here and Uranus in your relationship sector peaks. With the Sun, Mercury and Mars all doing the same before leaving next week, Venus is paving the way while two days away from leaving, making the final days of her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice some of the best. This is the start of a coming together of the communication and relationship gods.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
Before leaving and wrapping up its first visit to Sagittarius for the year, the Moon is making a friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. While this happens every four weeks and is a chance to shift your attention onto the lighter side of life’s fence, it comes just four days after Eris turned direct. As well as shifting the focus off the past, this has awoken your heart’s inner warrior and champion. On a good day on the income and job fronts, this will make it easier to keep things balanced.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
At the same time that you are moving into the final days of your birthday month, by the time Mars leaves in seven days the Sun will not only be gone but Venus and Mercury as well. Even the Moon, who will return tomorrow to begin the lead up to the first New Moon of 2026 will have moved through, making the next seven days some of the most pivotal of the year for setting your intentions and the track that you want the coming year to take. At the same time, the planets getting ready to leave Capricorn are getting ready to return to your income sector to begin the most lucrative months of 2026.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
In the closing days of your birthday month and with not just the Sun but more planets with him in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart than anywhere else in your chart, there is a lot of nostalgia but also a growing sense of excitement and anticipation. By the time that Mars returns for his first visit to Aquarius in two years, your birthday month and new solar year won’t just be underway but Venus and Mercury will be here and the Moon will have made its first visit for the year. The job of closing old doors is getting the hurry up from the new doors getting ready to open.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
What makes a friendly aspect between Venus, her final days in your friendship sector and Uranus in your communication sector that peaks today, is not just that this sets the scene for some serendipitous moments and/or encounters. Not only does Venus rule through the laws of attraction and Uranus through the laws of synchronicity, but this is the most social and serendipitous part of your chart. What really makes this significant is that the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Moon are all set to do the same over the coming days, with Venus simply getting the ball rolling.
