Additionally, the Moon harmonizes with lovely Venus, adding another dose of compassion, comfort, and healing to our lives — even when Luna squares the ego-driven Sun, leading us to worry we’re making the wrong choice. We can trust our instincts.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You can learn to forgive yourself for what you perceive to be your past mistakes. It may be that you had made the wrong choice in the past — in that the decision made a significant impact on your life, one that could have been difficult and drawn out. Perhaps the lasting complications have left you gun-shy of picking any options, as you worry that your actions will create more problems for yourself rather than solving them. Find a way to trust yourself again.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
You can currently forgive someone who is no longer in your life. Whether they are no longer on this plane of existence or just somewhere else in the world, this person likely is no longer around you, but the impact that they had on you may have been continually challenging. You now have the opportunity to forgive this person — not for them, as they won’t be aware of the choice that you’re making, but for you. Let go so that you can grow.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Old hurts can presently be soothed. You’re likely spending time around people that you may have not fully trusted before, as they could have been standoffish or cold the last time that you were around them. Today, though, they have probably changed their demeanor. This might be because they have changed or because their perception of you has shifted — either way, it’s up to you if you let them into your life. You can be cordial without becoming best friends.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Your public persona might be getting an update. You may have been holding back from updating others, in person or online, but you’re ready to come out of the shadows and show people who you are! They’ve potentially been wondering where you’ve been and what you’re up to, and reconnecting with old friends can be very beneficial right now. Even if you feel rusty when it comes to socializing, dust off the cobwebs and set up a coffee date with someone you’ve missed.
Leo
July 23-August 22

The high road has your name on it, Leo. Someone may be attempting to irritate you into acting outside of your character, but you’re unlikely to take the bait. In the past, their prodding could have been enough to get a rise out of you, but you’ve matured since then! Remind yourself that you’re past being petty and engaging the people who seek negative responses. Conserve that Lion energy for the people who really deserve it: you and the ones who love you.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
The weight of emotions shouldn’t be discounted at this time. Even if you aren’t immediately connected to any sorrow or stress currently in your midst, the echoes of their pain can still affect you. Try to be a force for good by providing those more directly impacted with a listening ear or supporting them with food or other aid. In addition to the direct satisfaction of giving others a hand, they’ll probably be eager to return the favor by helping you in the future.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Past injuries, physical or emotional, don’t have to damage your current life. Being involved in a similar situation to one that hurt you isn’t fun, but it does present you with an opportunity to alter what you’ve done in the past and break the cycle. This situation will already be unique to some degree because it’s likely taking place with different individuals, but how you choose to respond will be what makes the biggest shift. Most of all, remain firm on your boundaries.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
You might be forgiving someone that you don’t really want to forgive. Even when you know it would be healthier to forget this person and move on, the hurt that they caused you might still be lingering. Centering your anger toward them may sound tempting. No matter how justified your rage is, you’ll be better off if you shift your focus to something more positive. Remaining in the hurt is like picking at a scab — you’ll just keep bleeding until you let it heal.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Laughter can be the best medicine. In particular, if you’ve been struggling with a past event that’s possibly connected to an embarrassment that you carry with you, it could be causing insecurity for you in other areas. Learning to joke about the situation, even if it was painful at the time, can allow you to get past this. You are someone who has the power to turn tears into joy! Once you put this power into action, you’ll start seeing the benefits right away.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
Opportunities to heal are presently all around you. You could be dealing with a fresh hurt, one that you may not want to admit to others, and so you are self-soothing through isolation. “Emotionally guarded” might be how you describe yourself, but sometimes those defenses can cut you off from valuable connections. Instead of retreating into yourself, you may want to contemplate who you find most maternal and nurturing, then go to them for comfort. They might be happy you opened up.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Caring about anything is a choice. At the moment, it might seem easier to pretend that you don’t care, when in reality, you’re hurt over the things that others say and do. They potentially believe that you’re tougher and so you can handle more rejection or harsh criticism, but these things hurt you just like they hurt everyone else, even if you try not to show it. Be honest about how you feel — you could find that they begin to respect your feelings more.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Others may mean well, but the road paved with good intentions isn’t a good path right now. Peers are potentially warning you to avoid pursuing unfamiliar endeavors or chasing risky dreams that you’re trying to achieve. This might just feel discouraging, but keep in mind that they’re likely trying to protect you in a misguided way. Try to understand where their words and emotions are coming from while releasing their fears from your mind. You don’t have to let them weigh you down.
