Leave it to Virgo
MONDAY’s Virgo Moon will be operating in its purest form, completely free of any cosmic static, making for a very productive day. Under Virgo’s influence, we tend to be more minutia-minded, often losing the forest for the trees. But with the Moon waxing in strength, you don’t want to waste all this resourcefulness on small-bore tasks. While tackling to-dos may be satisfying, you’d be better served applying Virgo’s keen acumen to actualizing your ambitions and launching new goals. Leave it to clever Virgo to help you formulate a grand vision and fine tune it at the same time.
The Virgo Moon persists through TUESDAY afternoon. Usually, this fastidious Moon inclines us to be more meticulous than imaginative. But positive alignments to Venus and Uranus challenge that mindset, prompting you to join Virgo’s critical thinking with Venus’s creativity and Uranus’s ingenuity to advance your goals. At 4:47p, the Moon clocks out for a brief Void. (Read all about the dos and don’ts of the Void Moon here.) At 5:16p, the Moon enters Libra and a faceoff with Saturn and Neptune. The former throws up roadblocks, making everything more difficult, while the latter sows confusion, furthering Libra’s indecisiveness. For best results, collaborate. But speaking of collaboration. A passionate embrace from Pluto, in the evening, excites Libra’s romanticism and makes Tuesday the best date night this week!

Another Long Void
WEDNESDAY’s Libra Moon will be positively influenced by an articulate Mercury and an enthusiastic Jupiter. Together they will stimulate both the more strategic and charming sides of Libra, imbuing you with cunning, charisma and confidence, all of which I know you will employ to great advantage. This tactical trio can help you craft artful strategies for dealing with the most difficult problems—and people. It can even help you turn a potentially combative situation into a productive one. Make the most of all this savvy, because at 3:30p, the Moon will check out and goes Void for the rest of the night and . . .
The entire day on THURSDAY! That’s a lot of downtime, which is why you’ll want to allocate it toward dispatching with all those boring-but-necessary chores you keep putting off. This way, you won’t be stuck with them on a day when you have an opportunity to shine. While a lengthy Void is not good for making major decisions or purchases, you can still get a lot done, if you use it smartly. Just don’t start a new venture, because anything begun under a Void will not yield the desired results. The good news is you know this ahead of time and can plan, or not plan, accordingly. Advantage: yours!

Go Fourth!
I predict fireworks for FRIDAY! Hopefully, you can prevent them going off in your personal life. That’s when the Scorpio Moon will be contending with a quirky tryst between Venus and Uranus. These strange bedfellows could incite jealousy, distrust and unrest. Positively, they could coax you to step outside your normal circle and make novel new connections. Either way, play it safe, because this suspicious Moon will be provoked by an equally wary Pluto, doubling down on the mistrust. Stating the obvious, this is NOT a great day for bringing up touchy subjects, as even a benign disagreement could provoke dire consequences. The good news is the bad juju will wane by late afternoon, when a jovial Jupiter arrives in a celebratory mood to end the day with a bang!

WEEKEND FORECAST
In spite of the fact that the Moon will be in Scorpio on SATURDAY, it’s likely to be the most fun day all week. That’s because this intense Moon will be enlivened by a spirited Mars and a radiant Sun. You can always expect a good time when these two cohorts consort, so this would be a great day for engaging in all sorts of sports and outdoor activities. Enjoy!
SUNDAY morning will be more suited to indoor activities. That’s when a rendezvous, between amorous Venus and a rapturous Neptune, evokes the Scorpio Moon’s passion. Expect afternoon plans to keep changing thanks to an erratic Uranus. Because this wildcard orb is always full of surprises, you’ll need to be flexible. At 6:04p, the Moon shorts out for a super-brief Void (2 minutes), before soaring into Sagittarius and becoming captivated by this morning’s lovebirds, Venus and Neptune. That means this day will finish the way it started, making Sunday the other best date night this week!
