Yet Another Extended Void Moon
MONDAY’s high-minded Sagittarius Moon will benefit from an alliance with brainy Mercury. With the Moon still waxing in strength, this would be an excellent time for kicking off new ideas and initiatives. Not only will your mind be abuzz with great notions, but this clever orb lends the savvy and precision you need to articulate your vision. One caveat. An impetuous Mars could spur this Moon’s more reckless side, potentially leading to rash and foolhardy behavior. The trick will be to rein in those impulses without curbing your enthusiasm. Manage that, and you’ll have all the confidence and drive you need to accomplish your goals. At 5:29p, the Moon will drop out and go Void until Wednesday! Reconfirm any plans you’ve made for this evening, as they may not unfold as expected, and click here for a refresher on Void Moon dos and don’ts.
The Moon will be Void for the entire day on TUESDAY. The rule of thumb for an extensive Void is: if you don’t absolutely have to take a decisive meeting or make a major decision, don’t. Then earmark this time for mundane tasks, like cleaning, clearing your inbox and following up on correspondence. Because there’ll be some lingering Sagittarius influence, this could also be a good day for brainstorming and kicking around ideas, especially since this philosophical sign encourages sage conversation and thinking. On the down side, Sagittarius is notorious for over promising and under delivering. The good news is you know the Moon is Void and won’t get played by some silver tongued snake-oil salesman.

Breaking Ground
WEDNESDAY’s goal-oriented Capricorn Moon will be ensnared in a taut configuration with several planets: Idealistic Neptune urges you to soar; Jupiter clamors for action and pragmatic Saturn cautions you to stay grounded. Navigating these dissonant frequencies can be difficult, but worth the effort. Because with the Moon waxing in strength, this is the best day this week to set fresh goals and maybe break ground on a new project. Marrying Neptune’s imagination with Jupiter’s exuberance allows you to envision big dreams. Relying on Saturn’s keen discernment will help you separate the grand schemes from the pipe dreams. Then you can tap Saturn’s discipline and drive to make the attainable ones a reality. If you’ve been looking for the right time to initiate a venture and expand your influence, it’s time to make your move!

Full Moon in Capricorn: Fortune Favors the Bold
Full Moons are a time of realizations, culminations and completions. And, THURSDAY’s in enterprising Capricorn, looks to be especially rewarding, thanks to an audacious and motivated Mars enhancing this Moon’s inherent drive and determination. Having this ambitious duo on the same wavelength, at such an impactful time, will activate your professional landscape. If you’ve been stuck in a dead-end job, hit a ceiling (glass or otherwise) or have been contemplating a career move, this dynamic will imbue you with the confidence and drive to make a change. Look back to the Capricorn New Moon (12.30.24) for a clue as to what options might be forthcoming. Maybe those impossible dreams you conjured back then are ready to come to fruition. But for those that have yet to be realized, this illuminating Moon offers you a chance to course-correct, before setting them on the road to completion. Remember, fortune favors the bold. Act now!

Crossing the Finish Line
Hopefully, you got so much done under the workaholic Capricorn Moon that you can slack off during FRIDAY's Void. If you’re still feeling diligent, however, you might want to use this time for routine tasks, follow-ups and getting organized. Just don’t make any scheduling commitments or important decisions, until after 1:21p, when the Moon zips into Aquarius. This inventive Moon will benefit from powerful alignments with resourceful Pluto, enterprising Saturn and creative Neptune. This is a time to be daring, innovative and experimental. But with the Moon now waning in strength, you don’t want to waste all this potential developing something new. Instead, direct it at projects already underway. With the brilliant solutions you can devise now, you’re sure to be able to drive them across the finish line.

WEEKEND FORECAST
Gather your posse and schedule something fun and lively for SATURDAY day. That’s when the Aquarius Moon will be palling around with a very sociable Venus and gregarious Mercury. Then, at 3:45p, the Moon cuts out and goes Void, for another long period, this one lasting until Sunday night.
That means SUNDAY is ideal for some R&R. Take a spa day, pamper yourself with a massage. Try to stick with routine treatments, like mani/pedi/facials. This is not the time to chance a snake massage or leech therapy, if you haven’t tried it before. That said, sometimes the erratic nature of a Void Moon can work in your favor. You might be able to snag a table at that impossible-to-get-into place or score tickets to a hot show, as there are bound to be cancellations.
