Tread Lightly
MONDAY’s Scorpio Moon will be running the gauntlet of some serious cosmic cacophony, tangling with a scheming Pluto, a discontent Neptune, and a disgruntled Uranus, stirring the pot just for the hell of it. Fortunately, most of this skullduggery should clear out by midday. Until then, I’m hoping a tight alliance between this beleaguered Moon and a conflict-averse Venus will help mitigate the worst of it. Lean hard into Venus’s charm, tact and grace to defuse any morning hostilities. Once the dust settles, a mighty merger between the Sun and Mars will fuel your ambition, spur your resourcefulness and sharpen your resolve. With the waxing Moon gathering momentum, this is your green light to launch that passion project. If you can successfully navigate these troubled waters you should be able to keep your hopes afloat.
The intensity stays high on TUESDAY when the Scorpio Moon is locked in a tense configuration with Venus, Pluto and Jupiter. This cosmic cocktail is a breeding ground for distrust and can elicit fierce waves of jealousy and deep suspicion. With Venus in the thick of it, things could get very personal, very fast. Your survival strategy? Tread lightly, hold your tongue and table any difficult discussion with your boss or your boo, until the vibes shift. Save all that simmering intensity for nightfall, when this passionate Moon aligns with a fiery Mars making Tuesday the hottest date night this week!

Blast Off!
A tricky Void Moon sets the stage for delayed trains, canceled meetings and shuffled schedules on WEDNESDAY morning. Hold off on any major purchases or big decisions until the fog clears. (Read all about the dos and don’ts of the Void Moon here.) The energy shifts dramatically, at 12:41p, when the Moon zooms into Sagittarius, fueled by a stimulating boost from Pluto and Neptune. Suddenly, your brain will be bursting with big ideas and grand ambitions, making the afternoon prime for launching bold new projects. Do make those power moves early, though, because the evening brings a collision with Uranus, creating a more volatile atmosphere. Uranus cranks up the Sagittarius urge for bold, reckless behavior, tempting you to take chances you wouldn’t dare otherwise—especially with your love life. If you like your romance riddled with drama, surprise and a dash of risk, this is your best date night this week!
It’s all systems go on THURSDAY! The Sagittarius Moon is waxing strong and soaking up rocket fuel from clever Mercury and high-octane Pluto. Not only will your brain be fired up with brilliant ideas, you’ll have unstoppable confidence and the fierce resolve necessary to turn your grandest dreams into reality. The best part? Level-headed Saturn will be on hand acting as master strategist and bringing the focus, discipline and follow-through this wild Moon often lacks. While Saturn might push for a more conventional path than this adventurous Moon prefers, it all but guarantees you won't crash and burn. That makes this is a stellar time to initiate that seemingly out-of-reach goal, seal important deals and take a few giant strides toward your long-term success.

Aim High
The Sagittarius Moon continues to aim high on FRIDAY, as it’s still benefiting from sharp-minded Mercury and strategic Saturn. For the second day in a row, the cosmic odds are in your favor—all you have to do is step up and claim your win. Use this vibrant, high-energy momentum to break away from your desk and start networking. Work your contacts, raise your profile and build hype around yourself and your pet projects. You have a prime opportunity to dream big, make powerful connections and shoot for the stars. Just be sure to lock in your wins before 4:44p! After that, the Moon goes Void for the night, signaling it’s time to clock out, kick back and celebrate a super productive week!

WEEKEND FORECAST
The workaholic Capricorn Moon rules the weekend but don’t worry, it won’t be all work, no play. I’m happy to tell you there’ll be no temptation to take business calls or answer emails on SATURDAY. That’s because this serious Moon will be uncharacteristically carefree thanks to an erudite Neptune and cultured Venus. This day is all about luxury, art and fine sensory indulgence. Ditch the to-do list and treat yourself: wander through a local crafts fair, check out a trendy new gallery or catch a matinee. As night falls, the stage will be set for memorable evening out. Book a candlelit table, sip something delicious and allow yourself to be wine-and-dined in style!
SUNDAY’s the fun day. That’s when the Capricorn Moon shifts gears, calling for more energetic diversions. A mischievous Mercury and rollicking Jupiter are teaming up to tease the playful kid out of this serious Moon. It’s a terrific day for socializing and group activities. Round up the gang, hit the bowling alley, pack a picnic and head for the park or catch some late-summer waves at the beach. Whatever you choose to do, embrace spontaneity and enjoy!
