We need structure to feel secure once the Moon shifts into earthy Capricorn. However, stability is elusive while beautiful Venus opposes surreal Neptune. Fantasies offer the promise of happiness, yet we may be disappointed when the clouds of illusion lift to reveal a real world that does not match up to the visions of our imaginations. Thankfully, smooth lunar aspects to Venus and Neptune inspire us to manifest a little magic anyway.
Aries (March 21st – April 19th)
Although you strive to make decisions based upon the facts, even the clearest picture is blurred today. Forgive yourself for not being able to discern the truth now, especially when trying to explain your feelings to others. Venus, the planet of personal love, opposes Neptune, the planet of spiritual love, catching you in a fantasy web of your own making. Thankfully, the stable Capricorn Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility empowers you to address emotional issues in a logical manner. Check out any assumptions you make about your partner before you act on faulty conclusions. Oscar Wilde wrote, “Illusion is the first of all pleasures.”
Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)
Knowing what you want from others is the key to opening love’s door today, yet you must be willing to make reasonable compromises regarding your expectations to find satisfaction. The practical Capricorn Moon fosters stability, but fantasy rules when magnetic Venus opposes enchanting Neptune, making a fairy-tale romance too alluring to resist. Use your imagination to create the future, but don’t drift off into dreamland and lose touch with your common sense. To move freely one must be deeply rooted.
Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)
Your sharp perceptions are tingling as they help you make sense of recent events. However, separate ideas and images start to weave together in a logical way, revealing the big patterns that show you how to be more efficient in the future. This entangling of thoughts can result in disoriented feelings when needy Venus opposes foggy Neptune in your 10th House of Status, making it difficult to find direction in your search for meaning. Let your imagination and heart guide your next steps. Remember the words of the Dalai Lama who said, “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.”
Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)
You might be feeling quite hopeful one moment and somewhat doubtful the next. A rational Capricorn Moon is pitted against an irrational Venus-Neptune opposition today, making for a volatile mix of calculated ambition and unavoidable hypersensitivity. One person may seem like a bully while the other plays the role of a victim. Fortunately, you can experience the magic of delight when tenderness toward others is blended with a desire to follow your heart’s wishes.
Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)
Relationships aren’t necessarily all that they appear to be today. You may be quite sweet on someone while romantic Venus in your 1st House of Self opposes spiritual Neptune in your 7th House of Relationships. However, the biggest danger is setting yourself up for future heartache, since fantasies can seem so authentic that they feel palatable. Thankfully, a simple reality check now can minimize the emotional letdown later on. Normal is an illusion; what is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.
Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)
You’re in a rather somber mood while the Moon is visiting serious Capricorn. You plan on narrowing your options now that Venus is in discriminating Virgo, but her opposition to blurry Neptune makes it nearly impossible to focus on what you want. In your fantasies you can have it all. Nevertheless, there are important matters to consider; although your imagination is extraordinarily vivid today, it’s obvious you can’t escape the material world. Thankfully, you can choose to worry less about what is currently missing from your life and concentrate on creating a positive future.
Libra (September 23rd – October 21st)

Scorpio (October 22nd – November 21st)
It may be challenging to distinguish between your dreams and reality today, so be careful about believing that all is well if it isn’t. Sexy Venus opposes illusory Neptune in your 5th House of Romance, creating a heightened sense of fantasy. You want to experience the ideal union and won’t be satisfied with physical pleasure unless the elusive spiritual component is also present. As Bucky Fuller wrote, “Love is metaphysical gravity.”
Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)
The spotlight of recognition and appreciation shines on you now that three planets are activating your 10th House of Status. However, Neptune can leave you wildly dejected if your expectations are too high and an opposition from delectable Venus is too idealistic. Nevertheless, exercising a little self-restraint at the right time restores your faith in dreams while simultaneously keeping you realistic about what you can accomplish. Author Thomas Carlyle wrote, “The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none.”
Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)
Although you might drift into fantasy realms today, you’re unlikely to get completely lost in the mists of illusion because the reflective Moon is firmly anchored in your sensible sign. Nevertheless, your heart and soul are gently opening due to an inspiring opposition of delightful Venus to magical Neptune. Don’t be afraid to dream; instead of gazing at the distant horizon with no idea how to reach it, trust your imagination’s inner map to show you the way.
Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)
You may spend money unwisely today or feel a bit disillusioned by people when receptive Venus opposes deceptive Neptune in your 2nd House of Personal Resources. Fortunately, you are realistic enough to adopt a more practical outlook on life. Nevertheless, there is tension between your desires and your social obligations. Baby doctor, Benjamin Spock, told us all, “Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”
Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)
Compassion is admirable, yet quite difficult to maintain if it’s not reciprocated in some way. A partner may lack credibility today when vulnerable Venus in your 7th House of Associates opposes slippery Neptune. Knowing what you want and holding people accountable for their actions are essential pieces of the puzzle while the Moon is visiting earthy Capricorn. Remember, you can’t afford to have untrustworthy allies when there’s so much at stake. Respect is a two-way street.
