The first new moon of summer poses a question to the very heart of our domestic life. What is the magic change that could refresh our day-to-day routines and bring a sense of ease and comfort to our home life? Is it the right kitchen gadget, meal service or morning routine? Is it the way we talk to loved ones, or the frequency of those conversations? Make a wish on Wednesday to manifest the thing you believe will bring peace to your home.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You've been trying life in different configurations, sometimes new ventures, sometimes the same familiar elements — people, projects, activities — in different amounts or a different order. You are so very close to the lifestyle that makes sense, that unlocks more ease, more you-ness. And this week, someone is there nodding, cheering, whispering, "Keep going."
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The world is filled with extraordinary treasures, though the ones that appeal to you are but a few. This is what it means to know yourself well and to have taste and discernment. The thing you really want comes with a hefty price tag, but don't let anyone tell you it's out of your reach, because it is, in fact, just within it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are those who cannot tell what emotional gift will help a situation. They contribute their logical fixes to emotional crisis, or they give their passion to situations that need practical assistance. It is in these moments that your gifts will be most appreciated. You pay attention, and you'll give — and ask for — the right solution for the moment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You walk inside a feeling you can't quite name, something like awe mixed with fatigue. Lately, you've known life as a symphony of clarity and longing — and through it all, your luminous, wry soul is totally intact. Even if things do not entirely resolve this week, you'll have the sense that you've witnessed something rare and entirely yours.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you're grateful for what you have, you're so conscious of all the beautiful potential. Your list of hopes is breathtaking — full of love for your endeavors, for those you care about and even for the strangers who don't yet know how much they need what you're building. Get more support this week so you can keep on building it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll show your willingness to compromise, and because of this, people want to meet you in agreement. The trick here is to be the first one to make a concession. Your spirit of accommodation will speak to their heart; negotiations transcend the transactional. The deal on the table is a vehicle to honor and witness the work and choices of all involved.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's a week for initiating projects or going back to the early stages of ongoing projects to reimagine what could be. Brainstorming, strategizing and plotting your future brings a rush of excitement, possibility and power. That surge of adrenaline is your body saying, "This matters. This lights you up. Keep going."
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You might be surprised at which of your many interactions make an indelible impression. Impact isn't always proportional to effort or intention. A small moment — your tone, a glance, a kind word — will land deeply with someone because of where they're at. What feels ordinary to you will hit a nerve, fill a need and stay with someone for years.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll take on a job and quickly make big, visible progress, but then there's a lull. The final stretch will be slow and painstaking — debugging, refining, polishing and aligning all the moving parts. The last bit will take almost as long as the entire endeavor. If you budget your energy, money, hours and other resources accordingly, you'll come out ahead and happy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Shared goals are the theme, and your team grows and changes in just the way you need it to, though you might not feel this for certain when it's all shifting. The roles will switch throughout the week, and each person will get a turn to be the leader, the one who is helped, and more often part of the grand motor that is propelling your group to the finish line.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll sleep but you won't dream, at least not while you're in a resting state. Your dreams are for the wide-awake times — the times that appear to you like a problem to solve, a need to provide for, a void to fill with your version of reality, a version that starts with the alternate reality that could only come from your imagination. This week, you're doing the work of a visionary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The word "sorcery" is from a Latin root meaning "fate." This week, your hard work culminates in a result that seems fated, and it appears to onlookers in a puff of magic — instant transformation. But you know better — your "overnight success" is an illusion and is actually the result of a thousand small efforts made over time.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Your curious mind is an enormous asset that opens the world to you. You'll intuit just the question to ignite conversation and build trust and emotional bonding. New professional, intellectual and personal avenues are cleared for your safe and speedy travel to a dream destination — either a place in the world, a position or a new identity within yourself. More highlights: A move or renovation will have you changing your daily routines and systems. You'll receive three stellar invites and accolades that were five years in the making.
