The Pisces lunation at the start of the week is the calming force each zodiac sign needs during this last full week of Taurus season as we prepare for Mars to enter a new astrological sign on Sunday, changing the way we go after what we want.
On the 12th, the Moon in Aries shines a light on the areas where we need to focus on diplomacy to balance the effects of Mars in this sign. The New Moon in Taurus on the 16th boosts the romantic energy while also having us become focused on how we communicate with others as we search for stability and grounding energy. When the Moon enters Gemini Moon last that same day, it gets easier to share our ideas and makes us curious to learn something new.
