Aries, there's a desire stirring in you that wants expression. This shows up as creative hunger or the urge to take up space unapologetically.
Do your best not to overidentify with productivity on Monday. With the Moon in Leo, creativity is a regenerative force. When you allow yourself to play and create without worrying about outcomes, you tap into a confidence that doesn’t need validation.
On January 5, let your enthusiasm be visible. Life responds when you do.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus, you feel drawn to familiar environments on Monday, warming to people who make you feel emotionally safe.
On Monday, spend time with who or whatever is your emotional safe haven. When you tend to your inner world, your sense of belonging and emotional security strengthen your foundation. Stability comes from warmth over control today.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Design: YourTango
Gemini, words feel more charged on Monday, carrying emotion beneath their surface. Conversations turn intimate without warning, revealing truths you didn’t know you were ready to speak.
There’s power in slowing your speech and letting sincerity lead rather than cleverness. Express what you feel, even if it feels vulnerable. Communication becomes a bridge rather than a performance when you speak from the heart.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Design: YourTango
Cancer, questions of worth and self-respect rise to the surface on Monday. You notice heightened sensitivity around money and whatever you pour your efforts into.
Instead of looking outward for reassurance, turn inward and ask where you’ve been underestimating yourself. On Monday, you claim your value quietly but firmly. Make a note of what you bring to the table.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Design: YourTango
Leo, this is a deeply embodied day for you. With the Moon in your sign, emotions sit close to the surface, calling for honest expression rather than management.
You’re invited to show up as you are, without polishing or posturing. Confidence comes from authenticity, as you know. Remind yourself that being visible is not a risk, especially when it’s your natural state.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Design: YourTango
Virgo, there’s something unspoken moving through you on Monday, a feeling or intuition that doesn’t need analysis. You are reflective and more aware of emotional undercurrents you usually keep at bay.
You don’t need to fix what arises. Just witness it with wonder and curiosity. Clarity comes later. Monday is simply about allowing.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Design: YourTango
Libra, your social world lights up with meaning on Monday. You feel drawn to people who reflect who you’re becoming, not who you’ve been.
There’s a desire for shared joy, creative collaboration, or emotional alignment within your circles. Seek spaces where you’re celebrated rather than tolerated. Community becomes nourishing when it mirrors your future rather than anchoring you to old versions of yourself.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Design: YourTango
Scorpio, visibility feels heavier today, but also more purposeful. You become acutely aware of your influence, reputation, or emotional authority on Monday.
Lead with truth, even if it feels exposing. When you allow yourself to be seen without armor, you command respect without force. Emotional honesty has always been your superpower.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Design: YourTango
Sagittarius, your spirit reaches outward today, hungry for inspiration and meaning. You feel restless if confined to routines that no longer stimulate you.
Follow your curiosity on Monday, whether that’s through learning, art, conversation, or imagination. Expansion doesn’t require distance, but openness. Flow towards whatever excites your mind and heart.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Design: YourTango
Capricorn, emotional truths you’ve postponed or compartmentalized ask for acknowledgment on Monday. With the Moon entering your eighth house of intimacy and shared resources on January 5, vulnerable conversations can’t be rushed.
Strength today comes from presence, and transformation begins with truth.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Design: YourTango
Aquarius, relationships come into focus on Monday. They're asking for warmth and mutual recognition. You crave being truly seen. Not idealized or misunderstood, but met in full.
Soften defenses and allow connections to deepen on January 5. When you engage emotionally rather than intellectually, bonds become more alive.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Design: YourTango
Pisces, your everyday life wants more heart. Small rituals, which include how you work, move, eat, and care for yourself from day to day, are at the center of your day on Monday.
There’s beauty in tending to the ordinary with devotion. On January 5, pay attention to what it looks like to bring warmth into your routines. Life can feel less like survival and more like active participation.
