HAPPY HERMES, THE ISLAND ASTROLOGER: That’s Your Cue! Get Out There!
Welcome to Aquarius season and happy birthday to all of our Aquarian weirdos! And I say weirdos with the deepest affection. Aquarius is the sign of unique, left-of-center, outsider ideas, so now is the season to try something, think something, or perceive something different. Our ship entered new waters when Pluto left the sign of Capricorn this past Saturday, slowly beginning its 20-year journey in the sign of Aquarius. If something big feels different, it’s probably that. It’s “power to the people” time, folks. While that is a long, drawn-out transit, right now we are hanging out under a full moon in Leo. This lunation is helping us all to find or identify the affirmations and recognition that we need, while generous Jupiter in Taurus is sitting in a 90-degree square to the sun and moon, exaggerating this full moon’s effects. So, take the mic and show us what you got. You’ve been working hard on that bit. Be wary of speaking too quickly or holding unnecessarily aggressive thoughts, however, because intellectual Mercury and Mars are joining forces this weekend. You might hurt someone in ways that are unintended without maintaining a mindful tongue.
Here are your horoscopes for the full moon in Leo. Read for your rising and sun signs.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
A very happy birthday, Aquarius! Thank you for keeping us all from getting complacent. This full moon harbors a creative solution with a partner of yours, and you’re receiving big support from your home and family. Now is the time to turn your attention from work and onto the more intimate people in your life. Be mindful about angry thoughts you might be keeping secret, they could ultimately hurt a person you consider a sibling.
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
Finally, all the work you’ve been doing in secret is turning into routines that are being acknowledged. You’ve created a system that works. Your neighbors and acquaintances are helping you get some work done, so lean on them and accept their generosity. Be mindful about agitated conversations among friends, though, because they could hurt your bottom line.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You may have asked some friends to help you achieve your creative and playful goals, and now that request is blossoming. You have some powerful allies in your corner right now, and you seem to have the necessary funds or resources to achieve your goals. Practice patience in your work communications because some folks are saying things that flick your vulnerabilities.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
You set an intention at work and now you are reaping the rewards at home. Your generous spirit is fueling the returns that you are receiving, so stay expansive, Taurus. Fast and loose thoughts of running away are provoking some deep wounds and helping you heal, but don’t take any drastic actions right now. Focus on the good stuff at home.
Gemini
May 21 – June 21
You set some big targets in unchartered waters, Gemini, and now you are discovering that those faraway lands are really quite familiar. Follow the familiar feelings and let the joy you experience in your alone time support your achievement. Your tongue might move a little quickly in financial discussions, frustrating your backers. Take a moment to think before signing any dotted lines.
Cancer
June 22 – July 22
You committed to an investment two weeks ago, and that return is hitting your bank account now. This return may come in the form of monetary compensation or major recognition. At any rate, you have supporters who are happy to contribute to your bounty. Be mindful of a partner’s words that might take a stab at your reputation and don’t take them personally. Rather, ask why they sting.
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
An important partner is shining their light directly on you, and you should be feeling mighty appreciated. Your reputation at work or in the world around you is expanding, and the space you are taking up in the workplace is supporting the blossoming of your relationship with this partner. Try not to obsess over your habits, bad or good, as you will be caught thinking in circles.
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
You’ve put in the work, and now it is time for some much needed alone time and respite. Even if your solitude is not meditative and tends toward the more intense introspection, now is the time to pluck the fruits from your isolation. Diving into your studies or solo adventures is incredibly beneficial right now. Keep an eye on boastful language, even if you’re not intending to brag.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
You set the stage for your creative endeavors, and now the people who are ready to carry you forward are coming out of the woodwork. Some really helpful grants, funding, inheritances or consultations are making sure you can use the support you are receiving. Fiery conversations at home can either help or hinder your partner, so harness your passionate words for good.
Scorpio
Oct. 24 – Nov. 21
You’ve taken care of your chores and tasks at home so that now you can step out in your career or in the public eye. Your partner is really helping to fill your cup during this process, so accept the support and express your gratitude. Tread lightly in a discussion with a sibling or with a neighbor because you might just be sacrificing more than you will have wanted.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
That big new adventure is finally here. You took care of the prep work with all of your usual chores and errands during the new moon so that you can now take off toward new and unexplored territories during this full moon. All of your hard work and systems that you’ve set up are now offering you huge benefits. When it comes to discussing finances, be assertive without being aggressive.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
After getting your finances together, now you can make that investment you’ve been eyeing. Another way of looking at this is that you’ve gotten your personal values straight so you can engage in projects with people who share a similar mission. At any rate, it is time to engage. Let your bliss lead the way because right now, the things that bring you joy are also bringing you prosperity.
