We’ve got another quiet week ahead as we finish up the exciting (and often shocking) month of May. Tuesday 29th has Mercury, the messenger of gods, moving out of slow-thinking Taurus into quick-witted and fast-paced Gemini after a brilliant full moon in Sagittarius. Full moons are culmination points each month where we wait to see if our previous new moon intentions have come to life.
The axis of Gemini-Sagittarius helps us focus on both the big picture (Sag) and the details (Gemini). As this full moon is tied up with the karmic nodes of fate (if you don’t know the nodes, they're responsible for our eclipses), you may find yourself asking about the big picture and whether or not the details support your direction. Be honest while you're assessing. The point is to keep you on track as you work toward your destiny. We have a lovely grand trine between Venus, Neptune and Jupiter that will soften the blows of reality, while also inviting us to take extra care of ourselves. If you've been having a hard time putting thoughts into words, Mercury in Gemini will lend a hand with communications so that you can express what you want to do next. Let's go!

Gemini
May 21 to June 20
Enough messing around, Gemini. This Tuesday’s full moon sees you focusing on your role in your relationships. How has your behaviour affected the bonds between you and your closest partners? This is a great time to finish up any leftover projects or relationships that no longer resonate with your vision.
You've been working to get in touch with your real passion, not just the passing trends that catch your attention. The best way to stay connected to the things that keep that fire burning within you is to partner with people who have the right fuel. This full moon, notice who leaves and who enters the picture. They're all giving you ideas about where you’re headed next. Life isn't as random as it appears, Gemini, follow the passion.

Cancer
June 21 to July 22
Even creatures that relish comfort and habit have to shake up their routines, especially if said routines and habits have left them in a boring rut. During this Tuesday’s full moon, assess what parts of your daily life need to be wrapped up so that newer, more inspiring aspects can flourish.
You're the showrunner of your personal universe, Cancer. You and you alone decide how to respond to your environment. You’re in charge of your inner emotional world and how it influences your external surroundings. Your moods are palpable — not only to yourself but to those who are in your orbit, so be mindful about how you’re coming across to others. Observe yourself this week. Watch how your moods affect your actions and how your interactions with others influence your mood. Somewhere in the middle, there’s a space where you’ll feel at peace.

Leo
July 23 to August 22
You can put the questions related to your legacy and reputation on hold this week, Leo, as this Tuesday’s full moon is urging you to go outside and do what you do best: party. This is a great outlet for stress, but you can also pursue any creative projects, spend time with little ones, or even gamble with your heartstrings as a way to let off steam.
The point is to fall in love with your life, so stick to the people and activities that make your heart all aflutter with happiness. In doing so, what isn't making you happy will become clear (like your soon-to-be ex, or the job you've been complaining about for the last eight years). With that knowledge in mind, you can take steps to make every day a party — or at least close to one. Don't waste your regal energy being miserable, Leo. You're too good for that.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
You might feel like you're being tugged in two different directions this week, Virgo. On one hand, the heavens are motivating you to stand out in the crowd and make your name known to the public. On the other, a part of you just wants to go home, close the blinds, and hide. It's important to do both. Time spent in the comfort of your home, resting and relaxing, provides you with the energy you need to socialise, network, and promote yourself. Home isn’t just the place where we keep our possessions and rest our heads at night — it’s where we go to connect to our deepest motivations, too.
On this Tuesday’s full moon, reconnect to your drive while chilling at home in your favourite bathrobe. Keep your journal nearby to jot down past and current inspirations for the work that you do. When you're ready, share what you discover with people whose wisdom you trust. Stay true to your heart and you’ll never stray from your destiny, Virgo.

Libra
September 23 to October 22
It's a busy week for you, Libra, with your phone steadily ringing and your calendar steadily filling up with errands and tasks that seemingly come out of nowhere. This is what happens when people notice the work that you do, so enjoy the attention and be sure to maximise it. Share the ideas you've been working on behind the scenes, even if they seem a bit far-fetched (genius often is, you know). Speak up for what you passionately believe in, even if others don't quite get it yet.
Try to stay on top of your endless emails and texts, as there could be people who want to invest in you and your schemes. It would suck if you just happened to miss their message because you're all over the place mentally. Do your best to stay calm and centred in the middle of the chaos, Libra, and all should go well.

Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
Where’s your money going, Scorpio? This Tuesday’s full moon wants you to take stock of where you’re investing your time and your finances. If you find that you’re spending recklessly, ask yourself what void you're trying to fill or if there's something that you want to distract yourself from. Take a hard look at your finances and notice where you can be more practical. How we use our money and resources (or lack thereof) can be an indication of how we feel about ourselves.
Consider taking a spending break just for clarity's sake, so you pinpoint any beliefs you have about money that may need tweaking. Once you make those changes, you can plan that much-needed holiday. You deserve to feel good, Scorpio. Remember that always.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Although you're known for your boundless energy, Sag, there’s nothing wrong with taking a moment to centre yourself before moving onward. This Tuesday’s full moon wants you to make an effort to refill your tank and check in with your body, mood and wellbeing. Focus on your needs first. We often end up deeply emotional, irritable, depressed, and even physically unwell when we forego our self-care routines (if we have any such routine in our lives at all).
Keep in mind that too much work or worry can be damaging if not balanced out with proper time spent replenishing your energy and good spirits. Tap out of the game for a little while, Archer. We’ll welcome you back when you return to us with your tank full of good cheer.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
Even during playtime, there is a lesson to be learned and wisdom to come away with. Hopefully you’ve happily accepted all the invitations for fun that the heavens have been sending your way over the past few weeks, Cap. But now, the energy has shifted toward reflecting on all the ways you've been holding yourself back due to unchecked fears, old hurts, and toxic emotions that linger in the back of your mind. Conquering these thoughts can drive us to succeed, but if we’re not conscious of them, they can easily sabotage our efforts in the long run.
Be gentle with yourself as you sift through the secret psychic and emotional muck (everybody has to do it at some point). And be sure to celebrate how far up the self-expression mountain you've come so far. Keep going, Seagoat, and don't forget to say ‘I love you’ to your reflection in the mirror.

Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
You can come out of hermit mode at long last, Water Bearer. This Tuesday’s full moon is pushing you to network. You may find that the social circles you used to move within no longer match your new vibe. Know that it's fine to say goodbye to those folks so that you can mingle with new people who are vibing on your same wavelength.
Keep your wits about you this week: The new friends and associations you make now could play a bigger role down the road in regards to your career and reputation. It’s okay to move on, Aquarius. There's no point in holding onto friendships that no longer ring your bells. Stay committed to your ideals and you'll be sure to find support and inspiration along the way.

Pisces
February 19 to March 20
What do you want to be known for, Pisces? This Tuesday’s full moon has you focusing on your reputation, legacy, and how you want to make an impact on the world. If you've never considered how you’ll leave your mark, meditate on your guiding principles and the topics that both excite you and stretch your mind. You could find that you and your skillset are actually in demand. After all, who wouldn’t want a piece of your magic?
If you're coming up short as to what kind of work you want to do, try taking some solo time at home to be in your own sauce, even reflect on the things that used to really interest you when you were a kid. Maybe something from your past will click with you now. Don't limit yourself, Pisces. You can literally do anything you put your soul into.

Aries
March 21 to April 19
Do something different this week, Aries. Consider activities and events that will take you out of your comfort zone and expose you to completely different perspectives. Expand your mind via workshops, lectures, new books, classes, or even by chatting it up with strangers at your local café. The point of this exercise is to broaden your mental and emotional horizons. When we connect with others and allow our perspectives to be challenged, we usually find that we have more in common with one another than we previously realised.
This week, zero in on what deeply moves you and what you're willing to fight for. You may be meeting the people who want to stand up for a cause with you at their side. We need your inspiring leadership, Ram. Show us the way forward.

Taurus
April 20 to May 20
You know about moulting, right, Taurus? It’s when animals shed their old coat and look an absolute mess for a hot second until their new spring coat comes in. That's kinda where you are on this Tuesday’s full moon: in the midst of moulting aspects of yourself and your life so that new growth can take root. To make this process easier, you may want to jot down what you want to let go of, like those clothes you haven't worn in a decade or that crazy friendship that tends to spiral into chaos.
Don't worry — if you need additional help, you have plenty of friends who will gladly relieve you of your clutter. If you're feeling especially industrious, sell off your old life so you have the funds to upgrade to a new one. A clear-out sounds good right about now, don't you think?
