The New Moon in Le arrives later this week, and Venus moves into practical Virgo on the same day. The astrology indicates that it's time for everyone to get creative about a healthy new routine. And here comes the Nine of Wands to help sweep away obstacles and barriers preventing you from living your best life. Put yourself first and push past anything that gets in the way of that.

ARIES: KNIGHT OF CUPS

New Moons often make you feel super social, and this week's has you practically hyper! The Knight of Cups indicates that you’re in the mood to party, play, celebrate, and mingle. Romance is in the cards, too. Look out for lovely, calm, creative water signs (Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio) who you really vibe with. Head to artistic and whimsical places and events, start a creative class or a cute café. Be seen. Be visible. Be active. Have a great week!

TAURUS: EIGHT OF CUPS

You feel like trying something again that you’ve failed at in the past. Venus in Virgo makes this likely to be some kind of fitness, health, or wellbeing practice. The Eight of Cups asks you to recognize what went wrong before and put something in place to mitigate it this time around. Know your flaws and weaknesses and how they can trip you up, and then simply plan for them. You can succeed this time around.

GEMINI: ACE OF WANDS

New Moons are the best time to start new hobbies, interests, projects, or roles, and the Ace of Wands amplifies that for you this week. It’s time to get creative, unleash your inner artist, and to use your talents to manifest a tangible output from your powerful imagination. Whether you do this solo, in a class, or as part of a small team, it’s up to you but get the ball rolling this week.

CANCER: NINE OF SWORDS

Stop worrying about things that will never happen. You’re literally torturing yourself with dark fantasies. Why use your beautiful mind to do that to yourself? Cancer, it’s time for a mental detox. Your homework is to unburden your mind of your secret fears. Journal about them, tell a trusted friend about them, whatever you do, just get them out of your brain and look at them in the cold light of day. Don’t they seem ridiculous now? The Nine of Swords brings you peace of mind if you do the work.

LEO: JUSTICE

New Moon, new project! It’s your season and the Justice tarot card puts you center stage, exactly where you want to be. There is something you want to protect, declare, or stand up for. There’s an element of justice and ethics here; this involves a cause you care passionately about. People are ready to listen to you. Make it count.

VIRGO: THREE OF SWORDS

The Three of Swords shows up as Venus moves into your sign, and both of these events indicate that it's time to remove sources of pain from your life. Find the root cause of your stress, and then remove it. Are you ready? It’s time to do yourself a huge favor and let go of something that has been draining, difficult, or downright hurtful. If you don’t draw the line, then who will? Protect yourself, Virgo!

LIBRA: SIX OF SWORDS

For a few months, you have been wondering whether it's time to end something. This doesn’t feel sudden, sad, or difficult because it’s been such a long time coming. You know that it's time to let it go. This week, the Six of Swords indicates it's time to untether yourself from this situation and start to drift downstream. Move away from the old and towards the new. The momentum will build and carry you onwards. Act now.

SCORPIO: KNIGHT OF PENTACLES

You're very self-protective, eager to defend your private world and fight back against intrusion. The Knight of Pentacles has you in defense mode this week, checking for weak spots and working hard to resurrect your barriers. Scorpio, as you go about this task, be mindful of which defenses are and are not really necessary. Some may actually be keeping out good people, opportunities, or ideas. Don’t be too quick to replace what has collapsed.

SAGITTARIUS: TEN OF WANDS

A New Moon gives you a surge of vitality and enthusiasm, and now you're feeling some FOMO. The Ten of Wands tempers this energy by pointing to your need for rest and relaxation. Don’t burn out. Don’t overload your mind, body, and soul with extra activities and demands that you don’t really need to take on. Be discerning about where you go, what you do, and who with. Schedule time for rest. You need time to recharge.

CAPRICORN: THE HERMIT

The Hermit is your kind of tarot card because it hints at solo projects, difficult endeavors that lead to high rewards, and journeys of enlightenment. You are ready to activate a phase of learning, reflection, research, and rumination. It might be formal education or self-taught skill-building. It might mean reading or taking a class with friends. The point is that it’s challenging but satisfying, and it leads you to new ideas and outlooks. Seek to learn. This project can last from now until October.

AQUARIUS: TWO OF WANDS

There's a New Moon this week, which always makes you feel enthusiastic about starting something new and exciting. You're likely going to have lots of bright ideas. The Two of Wands sweeps in to remind you that you need to focus. Don’t get overwhelmed or lost in possible options. Instead, discern the top one and take action. Ideas are great, but they can’t float around forever. They need prioritizing, researching, planning, and putting into practice. Make sure you make a plan, Aquarius, and you can achieve something great this week!

PISCES: THREE OF PENTACLES

Everyone loves you—of course they do, you're a Pisces! You're adored. The Three of Pentacles amplifies that vibe this week, and Venus in Virgo brings this high regard into the workplace. People respect and admire your efforts and talents, and you can capitalize on that by being visible, proactive, and confident around people with influence and power. You just never know what a chance conversation could lead to this week. Show up and shine!
