The Moon is only 6 percent lit today and is in Sagittarius, the fire sign of travel, learning and big plans. About 29 and a half days pass from one new moon to the next, and the Moon stays in each sign for about two and a half days. Astrologers regard the first days of the young month as a time to set a goal and take the first step, without expecting results right away. Thursday is the day of Jupiter, which also rules Sagittarius itself, so the desire for something new is felt more strongly today.

The Sky Today

The new moon in Scorpio was at the beginning of the week, and now the crescent appears in Sagittarius, and the heavy thoughts of recent days are looking for meaning and direction. Jupiter is in Leo and on its day gives generosity and courage, but easily inflates expectations. Mercury and Venus are retrograde and move forward again at the end of the week, so signatures and expensive purchases are best left until Monday.

Horoscope by Sign

♈ Aries

If you have been putting off a course, an exam or a driver's license for months, today is the day to sign up. The Moon in your ninth house gives courage, and Jupiter on its day helps anyone who is studying. Saturn in your sign wants order, so choose one thing, not three. Before evening, write down the day and time of the first session in your calendar.

♉ Taurus

Shared money comes to the foreground: a loan, a bill with your partner, insurance or an inheritance. The Moon in the eighth house brings to light the expenses you have been overlooking. Venus, your planet, is still retrograde, so do not sign a new loan today. Sit down for 20 minutes and go through your monthly subscriptions. You probably hardly use at least one of them.

♊ Gemini

The Moon is opposite your sign and your attention goes to your partner. He or she may propose a bold change, a trip or a home renovation, and your first reaction will be to argue. Mercury is still retrograde and a hasty "no" is hard to fix later. Ask at least two questions before you answer, and put off the decision until tomorrow.

♋ Cancer

The working day fills up with small tasks that someone else has left unfinished. The young Moon in the sixth house gives you the strength to tidy the desk, the mail and the schedule for the week. Do not take on someone else's work just because you feel awkward refusing. In the morning, make a list of five items and cross off at least three by noon.

♌ Leo

Jupiter has been in your sign since summer and today, on its day, it strengthens your desire to be noticed. The Moon in the fifth house brings flirting, play and laughter with children. If you are single, accept the invitation you would otherwise decline. If you have children, set aside an hour for them with no homework and no errands.

♍ Virgo

Home and parents ask for your time. The Moon in the fourth house may open a conversation with your mother or an old family dispute over property. Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde until the end of the week, so do not decide anything definitively. Call the relative you have not spoken to in months. Ten minutes is enough.

♎ Libra

The phone rings more than usual, and messages pour in one after another. The Moon in the third house is good for short walks around the city, meetings with a brother or sister and anything that is written. Venus, your planet, is still retrograde and sharp words now weigh double. Write the difficult email, leave it in drafts and read it again after an hour.

♏ Scorpio

The Sun is in your sign, and the Moon passes through the second house, which governs money. You will want to treat yourself to something nice for your birthday, and that is fine as long as you set a limit. Decide on the amount in the morning and take only that in cash, leaving the card at home.

♐ Sagittarius

The Moon is in your sign, and the day belongs to Jupiter, your planet, so your energy is in surplus. People listen to you and you easily win them over to an idea. The risk is promising more than you can finish by Friday. Before you say "yes", look at the calendar and check whether you really have a free evening.

♑ Capricorn

The week's fatigue accumulates and the body wants sleep. The Moon is in your twelfth house, the place of rest and of the things you keep to yourself. Do not schedule meetings for late afternoon and do not reply to work messages after 7 p.m. Go to bed at least an hour earlier than usual.

♒ Aquarius

Friends and the groups you belong to bring good news. The Moon in the eleventh house helps you find people for a plan you have so far been considering alone. If you have long wanted to gather a group for a common cause or a trip, start today. Invite three people in person, not in the group chat, and the answers will come faster.

♓ Pisces

The Moon is at its highest in your chart, in the tenth house of career. A boss or client may notice you because of work you consider minor. Jupiter, your old ruler, is on your side today. If you are thinking about a higher salary or fee, write down in two sentences what you have accomplished and bring the note to your next meeting.
