Since Pluto and Mars in Leo continue to take the stage with their opposition, the lessons will center on our current power dynamics.
The Mas and Pluto opposition continued to set the tone for what we will learn and perfect over the next several decades. Thankfully, the tension is eased once the Sagittarius Moon opposes Jupiter, adding some hope and allowing us to dream. The practical Capricorn Moon keeps us focused on leveling up, and the Aquarius energy will intensify once Pluto meets with the Moon.

The karmic lessons this week require you to balance your time and energy. This can be a moment of reflection as you contemplate what you want in the future.
The Saturnian ruled Moons, Capricorn and Aquarius, show you that you must get back on track with your work progress to succeed.
While it is essential to dream, you must become more methodical with your goals. Jot down those ideas and make a plan for the long term.
Taurus

Balancing your relationships will be part of this week’s transit, making this the perfect moment to understand how your relationship dynamics have changed and what you can do to continue to mature and grow within them.
The week centers on a lot of Plutonian energy at the beginning and the end, showing you that patience is needed to benefit from these lessons. Focus on releasing grudges and communicating with your partner.
Gemini

Evaluating what you need to do to have your routines thriving could be part of this week's transit. You may also be more conscious of how you will continue to climb and succeed with Saturn reshaping your career sector.
You may also feel inclined to change the home front; you could be motivated to redecorate or change your home or office space — a perfect time to dig through what you want to expand and grow during Pluto retrograde.
Cancer

During this week, much of the focus could be on how you have expanded upon your dreams and if you’re being honest with the path you currently want to take. You’ll see the powerful alliances you’ve made and how they have shaped you.
Now that Pluto is retrograde, you see how preserving the relationships you trust can help you find your strength. You could see how you can get closer to your partner during this time.
Leo
Design: YourTango
Being more in command and taking charge can be part of this week's energy. The challenges happen when you act controlling while dismissive of others' thoughts.
Be mindful of how you speak to people, especially with Mars in your sign, which can make you slightly tense and impulsive.
The week calls for you to take things down and be more present within your relationship, especially with Pluto retrograde bringing up any flaws. If there have been conflicts within your relationship, work them out.
Virgo
Design: YourTango
Learning how to prioritize rest and self-care can be something that will be part of this week's transit, especially with Pluto’s influence.
You’ll also understand that, even though you’re on top of your responsibilities, you should continue asking for help if needed.
It can also be a good time to focus on your friendship relationships and analyze how you might strengthen them in the future.
Libra
Design: YourTango
Meeting new people this week can feel exciting, with Pluto making you the star of the show. Self-love can be part of the lessons this week, and Pluto may push you to appreciate, care for, and understand yourself much more.
The topics that could bring the challenges this week include how you give your energy to others, but you’ve already learned this lesson through the Venus retrograde. Now it’s just time for you to protect those boundaries effectively.
Scorpio
Design: YourTango
All eyes are still on you this week, with the Full Moon starting things off and continuing the messages from last week. Taurus season is making you very mindful of the relationships you have.
For the next several weeks, you are going to learn how to heal, how to be more accepting, and how to release grudges.
Forgiveness may be a topic of discussion after this Full Moon, and you may be more open to releasing any resentments that may still have a hold on you.
Sagittarius
Design: YourTango
If you have been uncomfortable in the spotlight, the week might make you want to work alone and avoid collaborations.
The challenge is that you will need to learn how to get out of your comfort zone and become more connected to your fiery element.
Pluto is pushing you to take control and not dim your light. Although you're reflecting on lessons after this Full Moon, the Aquarius energy may have you embrace the social butterfly in you and plan for more activities and outings. This is a reminder to have fun.
Capricorn
Design: YourTango
Although the Full Moon made a good aspect to your sign, challenges may arise within your social circles. You have to be more perceptive with the people in your life. Communicate efficiently because it could be challenging during this time with Pluto making you more conscious of your self-expression.
However, be open to letting friends or family you trust see your vulnerabilities occasionally. Don’t hold the emotional weight of the world on your shoulders; share some of your emotions and thoughts with others.
Aquarius
Design: YourTango
This week's challenges may involve balancing relationship dynamics, which you’re already learning from with this Mars transit in opposition to your sign. Nevertheless, this will focus on the career sector, the highest point on your chart.
Pluto might make you want to take control, but you must learn to be a team player, especially if you are in a leadership position. Remember to collaborate with others and be patient with them.
Pisces
Design: YourTango
Luna in Scorpio may bring challenges regarding how you need to be more honest with yourself regarding your relationships. Get rid of those rose-colored glasses, and be ready to have tough discussions, especially about your romantic connection.
Pluto’s energy this week could also have you consider how to nourish those goals and dreams, especially when you may not feel as connected to them.
Mars reminds you to do what brings you happiness and continue fueling your passion for your projects so you can keep going.
