The Moon is waning in Cancer, moving toward the dark of the new moon, and this is a day for wrapping things up rather than launching them. We are in the Last Quarter phase—the clearing stage, the reflection stage, the moment when we're meant to ask what worked and what didn't. Meanwhile, the Sun in Libra is still pushing for balance and diplomacy, but Mercury and Venus have both slipped into Scorpio's depths, asking harder questions beneath the surface. There is a friction here between the lightness Libra wants and the intensity Scorpio demands.
Mars is firing up in Leo alongside Jupiter, amplifying courage and creative fire, but Saturn sits in Aries like a boundary marker, reminding us that not every impulse deserves to be acted on. Uranus in Gemini keeps conversation unpredictable. Neptune in Aries softens aggression with confusion or idealism. Pluto in Aquarius watches from the periphery, patient and transformative. The day is full of crosscurrents: brightness and shadow, impulse and restraint, surface ease and subterranean intensity. This is a day for noticing what you cannot ignore, even when you might prefer to.

♈ Aries
March 21 – April 19
boundaries and self-honesty
Saturn is in your sign, asking you to be clear about who you are and what you will and will not accept. At the same time, Neptune in Aries clouds that clarity with idealism or wishful thinking—you want to see the best in people, but Saturn is asking you to see them plainly. This tension is real and it is worth feeling. What would it mean to be both kind and honest with yourself about someone or something?
Cosmic Homework: Name one boundary you have been too soft about and write it down as a statement you will practice saying aloud.
♉ Taurus
April 20 – May 20
friendships and belonging
Uranus is stirring up your friendships and your place in groups—the people you thought were stable might shift, or you might suddenly see a friendship or community in a new light. The Last Quarter Moon in Cancer is asking you to reflect on which connections still nourish you and which ones have gone stale. This is not a time to make huge declarations, but it is a time to notice what actually feels good when you step back and look at it honestly.
Cosmic Homework: Send a message to one person whose presence in your life has shifted and tell them what that shift has meant to you.
♊ Gemini
May 21 – June 20
visibility and real consequence
Uranus is in your sign, which means you are already living a life of change and unpredictability. But the Last Quarter Moon is asking you to look at the visible result of what you have put into the world—your work, your reputation, the way people know you. Mars and Jupiter are bright in Leo, pushing for boldness and expansion, but Saturn in Aries is asking: Is this what you actually want people to see? The question is not whether you are visible, but whether what is visible is true.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one way you are presenting yourself that does not match who you want to be, and decide on one small change you will make this week.
♋ Cancer
June 21 – July 22
belief and adventure
The Moon is in your sign in its Last Quarter phase, turning you inward and reflective. You are naturally intuitive, but this is a moment to think about what you believe—what philosophy or faith or set of values is actually guiding you? Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are in your house of learning and exploration, pushing you toward deeper understanding. Mars and Jupiter in Leo are encouraging boldness, but are you being bold about the right things? Use this clearing time to check in with your own compass.
Cosmic Homework: Write down one belief you hold that you have never actually tested or questioned, and ask yourself if it still serves you.
♌ Leo
July 23 – August 22
shared resources and trust
Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign, amplifying your presence and your appetite for what you want. You feel powerful right now, and that is real. But Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are asking you to look at shared resources, shared decisions, shared power in your most intimate relationships. The Last Quarter Moon is asking you to reflect: Do you trust the people you are entangled with? Are you being honest about what you need? Confidence is good, but transparency is what actually builds the bridges that hold.
Cosmic Homework: Have one conversation with someone you are close to about money, time, or emotional labor that you have been avoiding.
♍ Virgo
August 23 – September 22
partnership and authenticity
Mercury is your ruling planet, and it is in Scorpio now, asking you to speak more deeply and listen more closely in your closest relationships. Venus is there too, pulling you toward deeper intimacy. But the Last Quarter Moon is asking you to step back and look at these partnerships with fresh eyes—are you showing up as yourself, or are you playing a role you think you are supposed to play? Mars and Jupiter in Leo are lighting up your house of creativity and joy; the invitation here is to bring that real, unedited self into your relationships.
Cosmic Homework: Tell your partner, friend, or closest person one thing you have been hiding about how you actually feel.
♎ Libra
September 23 – October 22
work and play
The Sun is in your sign, and you are naturally attuned to balance and harmony, but the Last Quarter Moon is asking you to look at whether your life actually has that balance or if you are just making it look that way. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are in your house of daily life and work, asking for deeper focus and authenticity in what you do. Mars and Jupiter in Leo are encouraging creativity and play. This is a week to ask: Are you doing work that matters? Are you leaving time for what brings you joy?
Cosmic Homework: Choose one task at work or at home that you have been rushing through, and decide to do it with full attention this week.
♏ Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
self-expression and risk
Mercury and Venus are both in your sign now, amplifying your ability to communicate and connect, but also deepening your intensity. You are magnetic right now. The Last Quarter Moon is asking you to look at what you are creating—in your art, your work, your relationships. Are you holding back because of fear, or are you being strategic? Mars and Jupiter in Leo are cheering you on toward boldness. This is a moment when you can afford to take a real risk, but only if you know what you actually want to say or create.
Cosmic Homework: Start or finish one creative project that feels true to who you are, even if it scares you slightly.
♐ Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
home and roots
The Last Quarter Moon is in Cancer, your house of home and family, asking you to look at where you belong and what it means to feel safe. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are inviting you to have deeper conversations with the people closest to you. Mars and Jupiter in Leo are bringing brightness and heat to your everyday environment—something about how you live wants to shift or expand. Saturn in Aries is asking: What foundation do you actually need? What can you let go of to build something more authentic?
Cosmic Homework: Have a real conversation with someone in your household or family about what you each actually need from that space.
♑ Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
communication and listening
Mercury is in Scorpio, deepening your ability to hear what is not being said and to ask the questions others avoid. Venus is there too, bringing warmth to your thinking and your speaking. The Last Quarter Moon is asking you to reflect on your conversations and connections—are you really hearing people, or are you projecting what you want to hear? Mars and Jupiter in Leo are encouraging you to speak boldly and claim space in conversations. This is a moment to balance boldness with genuine listening.
Cosmic Homework: Ask someone you care about a question you have been afraid to ask, and then actually listen to the answer without planning your response.
♒ Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
value and resources
Pluto is in your sign, reshaping who you are at the deepest level, and the Last Quarter Moon is asking you to look at what you actually value and what you are willing to invest in. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are in your house of resources and self-worth, asking whether you value yourself accurately. Are you charging what you are worth? Are you investing in things that matter? Mars and Jupiter in Leo are encouraging expansion and generosity. The work right now is to align your resources with your real values, not the ones you think you should have.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one financial or time commitment you are making out of obligation rather than genuine value, and plan how to change it.
♓ Pisces
February 19 – March 20
identity and becoming
The Last Quarter Moon is asking you to step back and look at who you are becoming. Mercury and Venus in Scorpio are in your sign, deepening your self-awareness and pulling you toward authenticity. You are thinking more clearly about what is actually true about yourself, even when that truth is complicated or uncomfortable. Mars and Jupiter in Leo are lighting up your house of home and roots, encouraging you to build something solid. This is a moment to ask: Who am I, separate from what others expect of me? Who do I want to become?
Cosmic Homework: Write a description of yourself that has nothing to do with your role or your job or what you do for others—just who you are.
