The build-up to next weekend’s full moon (Sunday GMT, early hours of Monday morning AEST) should be as dramatic as it is diverse. There are some hard truths (Monday/Tuesday), left field romantic gestures (Thursday GMT and AEST) and surprising consequences (Saturday). But it’s the weekend that should deliver the most interesting revelation. Pop some corn and get comfortable, things are about to get interesting.
It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your mani a little bit knocked around this week. Early on in the week, the themes and frustrations, roadblocks or clashes that dominated October through to mid-January will take centre stage. It could feel a little spicy but if you’re willing to push past the discomfort and take a step back from any “ouch”, there’s progress to be made. Perspective is key. In in doubt, zoom out.
It’s heady energy, so make space to switch off and replenish with people or places that feel like home. Revisiting food/music/friendships from the past could make you unexpectedly emotional. If the tears come, let them; a (private) ugly cry in the lead up to Sunday’s full moon could do you a world of good.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Got an axe to grind? Tackling the elephant in the room on Monday/Tuesday should be surprisingly fruitful. Whether you planned to or not, keeping your feelings to yourself will be near impossible so embrace the radical candour and get it off your chest. Better out than in.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Feeling a little dreamy? It’s not just you, it’s in the stars. With your ruling planet floating through Pisces, it’s the perfect weather to let yourself get lost in something that makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Make a mid-week catch ups with your ride or die your only to-do.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
Get on the front foot early in the week and make a date to do some soul-searching. Whether it’s a last-minute therapy session or somatic bodywork, you could just have the breakthrough you’ve been hoping for. The past four months have been – a time – so even if it’s just a massage, treat yourself.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Ask and you shall receive…unexpected wisdom. It won’t come unsolicited, but if you seek a second opinion, friends, your partner (or both) could give you a slice of surprisingly grounded perspective early in the week. Regardless, a wave of optimism could have you saying “yes” to everything mid-week, just try not to overshare.
LEO AND LEO RISING
Activate charm offensive mode early in the week when things might feel a little strained with your favourite people. If you find yourself on the receiving end, a little bit of humour could go a long way to soften the mood. Prioritise solitude before Sunday’s full moon has you feeling BLE (Big Leo Energy).
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
This week the skies give you a little nudge to speak your mind. Flex your constructive criticism and don’t be afraid to say how you really feel. Your directness may shock, especially if it all unfolds at work, but choosing your moment will make all the difference.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
After a bumpy start to the week, there’s a groundswell of “we can do this” coming your way mid-week. Saying “yes” – especially at work – could have a butterfly effect. Hard as it may be, try to keep your feet on the ground and think things through before you get swept away in the excitement of it all.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
If you only remember one thing this week, let it be this: the only people who get really upset when you enforce a boundary are the people who benefit from it not being there. If and when you say “no thanks” be prepared for pushback but trust your gut and stand your ground.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
Feedback is rarely easy to hear, but listening – like, really listening will be worth it Monday and Tuesday. Your closest bonds aren’t always forthcoming so trust when they broach an uncomfortable topic, they have something serious to share. It may seem like it’s come out of nowhere, but it’s likely been a long time coming…and you really need to hear it.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
Your most exciting moments of this week come from Wednesday onwards when emotion, grit and optimism inspire some serious motivation. While you’ll be tempted to go all in on a project or partnership, don’t be afraid to use some of that famous Cappy restraint and move slow. All good things take time.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Expect the unexpected this week as Uranus turns up the dial and beckons you to challenge the status quo. An out-of-the-blue conversation early in the week could evolve into something completely random by Sunday’s full moon, deepening a bond (or fusing one) in ways you didn’t see coming.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
It’s cloudy with a chance of tough love early in the week as domestic drama flares up…again. If you can avoid getting defensive, there’s constructive learnings to be found, but it will require maturity. Lick your wounds on Friday when the vibe is ripe for a romantic night in.
