The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini is asking you to edit, to cut away what no longer serves. This is the phase when light retreats and clarity comes through subtraction rather than addition. Meanwhile, the Sun sits at 8° Libra, still early in its season of weighing and balancing, while Mercury and Venus both slip into Scorpio—the sign that asks hard questions and refuses easy answers. The weekend ahead will require you to know what you actually want underneath all the negotiation and politeness.
Mars and Jupiter together in Leo suggest that confidence and appetite are running high, even as the Moon's waning phase whispers that some desires need to be examined rather than acted upon. There's a friction here worth noticing: the impulse to expand and assert meeting the impulse to let go and reckon. Saturn in Aries and Neptune nearby remind you that discipline and clarity are not the same as harshness—sometimes the most honest move is the quietest one. This is a day for distinguishing between what you want and what you actually need to do.

clearing the air
Saturn sits in your sign right now, the planet of limits and time, and it is making you acutely aware of what actually matters. Mercury entering Scorpio sharpens your thoughts and forces you to speak with more precision than usual. You may feel the urge to have a conversation you've been avoiding—not out of drama, but because the words finally feel honest enough to say. What's one boundary you've needed to name?
Cosmic Homework: Tell one person something you've been holding back, not as a complaint but as a fact about what you need.
♉ Taurus
April 20 – May 20
creative friction
Mars and Jupiter blaze in Leo, a sign that does not blend with your steady nature, and they are lighting up the parts of your chart linked to creativity, pleasure, and self-expression. The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini is asking you to question whether you're playing it too safe. Venus in Scorpio, meanwhile, is turning your desires inward and making them more specific, less vague. You're being invited to want something with real depth, not just comfort.
Cosmic Homework: Make or create something that feels slightly risky to you, not something that fits neatly into your usual style.
♊ Gemini
June 21 – July 22
home truths
Your own Moon is waning in your sign right now, and the Gemini in you is usually so quick with words that this slower, more reflective phase can feel unfamiliar. The Last Quarter asks you to sit with questions instead of immediately answering them. Meanwhile, family matters or conversations about belonging may surface—Venus in Scorpio wants to dig deeper into what "home" actually means to you. This is not a time to skim the surface of any emotional topic.
Cosmic Homework: Ask one family member or close person a question you genuinely want to know the answer to, and listen without planning your reply.
♋ Cancer
June 21 – July 22
words matter now
Mercury in Scorpio is moving through the part of your chart that rules communication, writing, and the small conversations that add up to understanding. This planet makes thoughts heavier, more intentional—you won't tolerate small talk or surface chat. Venus joins Mercury in this deep water, suggesting that conversations about feelings or values need more honesty than usual. The Last Quarter Moon says: listen more than you speak, and when you do speak, mean it.
Cosmic Homework: Write down one thing you've been trying to explain to someone but haven't found the right words for yet.
♌ Leo
July 23 – August 22
money and worth
Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign right now, amplifying your presence and your hunger—for recognition, for resources, for more of everything that feels good. But Venus in Scorpio is asking you to look at what you're actually worth and what you're willing to accept in exchange for your time and energy. The Last Quarter Moon is cutting away illusions about money and value. This is a reckoning moment, not a time to inflate your worth or diminish it, but to see it clearly.
Cosmic Homework: Calculate or research one thing about your finances or earning that you've been avoiding, and write down what you learn.
♍ Virgo
August 23 – September 22
who you are becoming
The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini sits opposite your sign, and this creates a moment of seeing yourself from outside yourself—as others might see you, or as you might see yourself more honestly. Venus in Scorpio is in your sign, asking you to notice what you're drawn to and why. Mars and Jupiter in Leo suggest that confidence is high, but Saturn's presence reminds you that real strength is quiet. You're in the process of becoming someone new; this phase is about integrating that change, not announcing it.
Cosmic Homework: Describe yourself in five sentences as if a stranger were asking, and notice what you choose to emphasize.
♎ Libra
September 23 – October 22
rest and rumination
The Sun is in your sign, usually a time of visibility and visibility, but the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini is pulling you inward, asking you to rest and reflect before your birthday season truly takes hold. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are moving through the hidden parts of your chart, suggesting that some of your deepest work happens in private right now—therapy, journaling, sitting with hard truths about patterns. You need less doing and more being; trust that.
Cosmic Homework: Spend at least an hour alone this week without planning or solving anything—just noticing what comes up.
♏ Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
belonging and truth
Mercury and Venus both moving into your sign bring intensity and clarity to your words and your desires. You're in the mood to say what you really think, and the people around you will feel the shift—Scorpio doesn't ask permission to be authentic. But the Last Quarter Moon reminds you that not every truth needs to be spoken immediately, and not every group is trustworthy with your real self. Mars and Jupiter in Leo suggest that friendship and community matter, but your inner circle is what counts.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one person or group where you've been holding back your real opinions, and decide whether that's wisdom or self-abandonment.
♐ Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
visibility and purpose
Mars and Jupiter in Leo are lighting up the part of your chart connected to career, public presence, and how the world sees you. This is a time when your work or your reputation is in focus—and you have the confidence to handle it. But Venus in Scorpio, moving toward this same area, is asking you to be strategic about what you reveal and to whom. The Last Quarter Moon says: clarity about your actual goals, not the ones you think you should have. What are you building toward?
Cosmic Homework: Write down your professional or public goal for the next year in one clear sentence, without qualification or apology.
♑ Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
learning and risk
The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini is asking you to question what you believe and why. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are moving into the part of your chart that rules learning, travel, and expanding your mind—but they're doing it with intensity and depth, not light cheerfulness. Mars and Jupiter in Leo suggest that risk-taking feels natural right now, but Saturn in Aries reminds you that not all risks are equal. You're being invited to learn something that actually challenges you, not something comfortable.
Cosmic Homework: Sign up for or commit to learning one thing that makes you slightly uncomfortable because it's unfamiliar to you.
♒ Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
shared resources and power
Pluto is in your sign, and it has been for years, fundamentally transforming who you are. Now Venus and Mercury in Scorpio are asking hard questions about intimacy, shared money, and what you're willing to merge your life with. The Last Quarter Moon invites you to see where you've given away your power or where you're holding onto control too tightly. Mars and Jupiter suggest expansion is possible, but only if you're willing to be vulnerable about what you actually want from the people closest to you.
Cosmic Homework: Have one honest conversation about money, time, or emotional availability with someone you're entangled with.
♓ Pisces
February 19 – March 20
partnership and reflection
The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini is opposite your sign, and this creates a moment where you see your relationships more clearly—what works and what doesn't. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are moving into the part of your chart that rules partnership and collaboration, asking you to be honest about what you need from the people you're closest to. Mars and Jupiter in Leo suggest that confidence in love is high, but this is the moment to check whether that confidence is based on reality or fantasy. What do you actually want?
Cosmic Homework: Tell your partner or closest person one thing you've been afraid to ask for, and mean it when you say it.
