This is how the full moon will affect your sign
Aries
Now is not the time to make impulsive decisions. You should think through your actions to prevent misunderstandings or conflicts. A minor argument could manifest into something bigger if you let it. Take a beat to decompress and relax before reacting to a situation that shouldn’t be happening at all.
Taurus
This is a dynamic time for your love life. Be honest and open with communication, as your emotions will likely fluctuate back and forth. It is a good time for a small heartfelt gesture or a sweet message that can strengthen your bond. Express yourself kindly during the full moon.
Gemini
You will want to keep things steady and grounded, but your erratic schedule could lead to tension. Make time to unwind during the full moon to reap its benefits. Slow down and don’t push yourself to the limit like you have been every other day of the past weeks.
Cancer
Although your creativity is that high, it’s challenging to find the right activity to put your artistry into. An example of what may suit you is a knitting circle. It will connect you with members of the local community while investing your energy into a new endeavor that is fun.
Leo
The full moon highlights the relationship with your family. Now, you’re yearning for closeness with your brood. To do so, you must plan and host an event for a get-together and take the lead to get quality time with them. It is up to you to take the first step.
Virgo
Expect to foster a deeper understanding with your squad. This lunation is a good time to nurture your connection with meaningful conversations and shared experiences. There is increased affection within your friend group, allowing you all to share secrets and insights. The more you know, the more the relationship grows.
Libra
You’ve been burning the midnight oil almost every day, and there was little to show in your bank account — that is, until the Flower Moon. You can expect to see the efforts of your hard work increase your cash flow, allowing you to treat yourself for your strenuous efforts.
Scorpio
Your emotions are intense, hitting highs and lows throughout the day. But it will lead you to a state of transcendence and transformation. This situation will urge you to take a new approach and have a different perspective. It’ll be eye-opening and encourage you to change as well as heal.
Sagittarius
Although you’re known for your outgoing personality, spending time alone with yourself is fine. You don’t always have to be the center of attention and switched “on,” which is what you’re learning and discovering by taking a time out from the scene. It’ll prove to be excellent for your well-being.
Capricorn
Remember, your intuition is always your best friend when it comes to being guided by your heart’s desires. Embrace the current vibe and allow yourself to be swept away by the currents of love. Trust your gut and let it take you on a magical ride toward self-discovery and success.
Aquarius
Your career will take center stage and attract attention from colleagues who appreciate your unique qualities. The caveat is that there is tension brewing on your end. Keep your emotions in check as you may want to overindulge in them at the office. You want to avoid conflict right now.
Pisces
Compromise is the name of the game and can lead to exciting new experiences for you. Don’t get too caught up in what you want have and what you do not have to avoid insecurities from rising. You can always manifest your desires with your insightful mind and big heart.
