FEATURE — With a fortuitous full moon in high-achieving Capricorn, this week is all about going after what you want.

This week’s major energetic influences begin Sunday at 8:33 a.m. with a square between Venus in Leo and Uranus in Taurus, which could bring anything from unexpected shocks to romance. Following in the footsteps of Mars square Uranus, which occurred last week, this aspect could stir up some restlessness, as well as a desire to feel a greater sense of independence within a relationship.

On Monday, a full moon at 11 degrees Capricorn will illuminate the early morning sky at 5:38 a.m. MDT. Known as the “Buck Moon,” this moon symbolizes midsummer and is named for buck’s antlers reaching their peak of growth. The energy of a full moon begins to build about three days before and can have rippling effects that continue for two weeks.

In general, around the time of a full moon, emotions run high and whatever may have been lying dormant now pushes to the surface. But this sudden burst of energy is meant to push us into action. Full moons are a time of culmination, especially related to things that were put into motion two weeks ago on the new moon in Gemini or six months ago around the new moon in Capricorn. Full moons also can indicate endings.

Activating the axis of foundation, the full moon in Capricorn opposes the sun in Cancer. Symbolized by the mountain goat and ruled by practical, responsible Saturn, the sign of Capricorn is all about reaching for and working hard toward our goals. Conversely, Cancer represents our heritage, family, home and mother — what roots us to Earth.

With a full moon in Capricorn, we are being asked to find a balance between career and home life, legacy versus lineage.

But this full moon is receiving extra love and fortuitous energy from Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. If there was ever a time to say that the universe “has your back,” it would be under the golden light of this full moon.

So what does all of this mean for you? Find out below.

Aries
March 21-April 19

With the full moon activating your 10th house of career and public status on Monday, the limelight is on you, dear Aries. In harmonious aspect to Mars and Venus in your fifth house of fun, self-expression, creativity and other matters you hold close to your heart, this could be a time when you are stepping forward as a leader and perhaps bringing a creative project into the eyes of the public.

A work romance is possible under this influence. If you’re wanting to meet someone new, you may need to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and take a risk. For those in established bonds, you may decide to collaborate. Friendships are likely to blossom now. Since all eyes are on you, this is a time to put your best forward. Creative inspiration could unexpectedly burst forth unexpectedly. Make sure you’re there to catch it.

Taurus
April 20-May 20

Sunday could bring unexpected surprises to matters related to home and identity, as your ruling planet Venus squares up with Uranus, dear Taurus. This is not the time to make any permanent changes to your appearance, such as a tattoo or a drastic new haircut, as you may end up regretting it later. The full moon is activating your sector of higher wisdom and beliefs revving up your desire for adventure.

With Mars and Venus in your fourth house, a desire to find a new home could benefit from your own worldly experiences. People from the past could be showing up now, as well as old flames. There also could be an inclination to fall back on an old pattern with a current partner that may or not be a good idea. If you’re wanting to make more money, now is a good time to reflect on how you’ve earned money in the past and potentially double down.

Gemini
May 21–June 20

With Monday’s full moon activating your eighth house, this week is likely to feel transformative in some way, dear Gemini. With your ruling planet Mercury standing nearly opposite to the full moon, this energy is further illuminating the flow of give and take in your life. However, with the full moon’s fortuitous energy, this could be a time when you are able to settle a debt, or you could receive good news when it comes to resources linked to other people’s money.

If you’ve been trying to connect to a bigger audience, this is a time when you should consider the resources you have in order to bridge that gap. If you’ve been wanting to rekindle romance in an existing relationship, this is the time to take make a move.

Cancer
June 21–July 22

Opposite your sign, Monday’s full moon is lighting up your sector of one-on-one partnerships, dear Cancer. With its beneficial aspect to Mars and Venus in your second house of finances, this is a time to connect with people and collaborate, especially in terms of opening opportunities for putting money in the bank. You may also now collect on financial ventures or solidify a business idea.

Someone from the past may show up or you could meet someone who reminds you of an old flame. Whether this is someone you’re open to is a different story. For those in an established bond, beneficial energy abounds to enrich this relationship, but it would be better to wait until later in the week.

Leo
July 23–August 22

A full moon in your sixth house is lighting up areas related to your health, diet, daily routine and work, dear Leo. With the moon’s harmonious link to Venus and Mars, which are both in your sign, you’re feeling a boost in vitality and reenergized in order to shore up areas of your life that have fallen off track. And you may spontaneously decide to cut a habit.

A chance to meet a potential romantic partner is on the table, and so it is a time to be out in places where you can mingle with others, especially with Venus and Mars amping up your charisma and drawing people toward you. It may be best to work on any existing relationship issues with a current partner until the latter half of this month.

Virgo
Aug. 23–Sept. 22

The full moon for you is happening in your fifth house of self-expression, joy, romance and other matters related to the heart, dear Virgo. With a connection to the conjunction of Venus and Mars in your 12th house of spirituality and divine inspiration, you may happen across a whole new way to express yourself when it comes to the arts or in a romantic partnership.

Those who have been feeling blocked or uninspired should feel a reignition now and possibly implement a new method, style or medium. Trust your intuition and expect the muse to be strong. With the moon standing opposite your ruling planet Mercury, the chance to meet someone new is possible. If you’re wanting to make money from your creations, now is the time to put that out into the universe.

Libra
Sept. 23–Oct. 22

For you, dear Libra, this full moon is happening in a foundational part of your sky that deals with home, family and inner security. With the moon’s harmonious alignment to your ruling planet Venus in conjunction with Mars in your 11th house of friendships and highest future ideals, you could be about looking at the legacy of your ancestors and pulling that energy and wisdom into the present.

By understanding the nature of your ancestry, you are able to align yourself with the right people. When it comes to new love prospects, a friendship could turn into something more, or you may meet someone new through a friend. Established bonds will benefit from making time to do something light and fun together.

Scorpio
Oct. 23–Nov. 21

The full moon is activating a part of your sky that deals with communication, short-distance travel and learning, dear Scorpio. In tandem with the Venus-Mars conjunction in your 10th house of career, this is an advantageous time for those who create music, dance, write or work with their hands to take what you are doing and possibly turn it into a full-time job.

That doesn’t mean this will be easy; it’s more about considering how you can leverage this energy to benefit your career or what you see as your legacy. The potential to meet someone new at this time is on offer. Your personal magnetism is amped and it is easier for you to draw others toward you.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22–Dec. 21

With the full moon activating your second house of money and possessions, this is a time of taking inventory of what you possess and how you make money, dear Sagittarius. In positive alignment with Mars and Venus in your ninth house, you may experience a paradigm shift about money or how you view yourself during this time. This also is firing up your adventurous side.

Part of this lunar energy could be about drawing resources in order to go back to school or travel. With your ruling planet Jupiter also making a harmonious aspect to the moon, you have an opportunity to smooth out issues with a partner or refine your daily routine in a way that benefits your overall well-being. It’s also a good time to strengthen existing bonds.

Capricorn
Dec. 22–Jan. 19

With the full moon in your sign, dear Capricorn, this luminous light is shining on you, unveiling parts of yourself that may have felt hidden in recent weeks. This lunation further activates a three-month period of harvest, as a full moon only occurs once a year in each sign, as a general rule.

With a beneficial boost from Venus and Mars in your eighth house, this could feel like a deeply transformative time that allows you to draw on resources from others that can help facilitate your mission. For those wanting to meet someone new, this is a time to go to the party or group event and be open.

Aquarius
Jan. 20–Feb. 18

This full moon is illuminating your 12th house of spirituality, imagination and hidden matters, dear Aquarius. As the final house in the Zodiac, the 12th house also symbolizes endings as well as indefinite boundaries. In connection to Mars and Venus in your seventh house of relationships, this is about expanding and deepening your connection with others.

For those who are single, this is a good time to reflect on the types of relationships you’ve had in the past — the good and the bad — to help you gain a better understanding of the type of person you want to draw into your life and how you want to show up in a relationship. Those in an established bond are gifted with the chance to bring expansion into their current partnership by assessing what worked well in the past.

Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20

This full moon for you, dear Pisces, is happening in a part of your sky that has to do with friendships, group alliances and future hopes and dreams. In fortuitous alignment with Mars and Venus in your sixth house of health, work and daily routine, this is a time to consider how your day-to-day life is either pushing you toward or away from your highest aims.

You may receive clarity now that offers insight into why what is happening now is necessary for the benefit of your future self. After all, the future is comprised of day-to-day minutia. Interacting with your community could provide answers to areas of your life you’re hoping to change and point you in the right direction.
