Sunday(*v/c-pm): the Moon is in Taurus
Seven planets (out of a potential nine) are connecting with the Moon at some point today, which makes for a crowded arena of astrological energy. If you want to really get something done, focus on a project that is already in the works.
Sunday evening, Monday, Tuesday(v/c-pm): the Moon is in Gemini
There are six planets connecting with the Moon right now and Mercury is about to go retrograde (next week) in the astrological sign that rules communication, so take care of these types of tasks or situations before the weekend.
Tuesday evening, Wednesday, Thursday(v/c-pm): the Moon is in Cancer
This happens to be a week when there are a lot of aspects (connections) between the Moon and the other planets - seven again now. Since the time between a New Moon, which we had last week, and the Full Moon which is coming up at the end of next week, is good for being busy in a productive way, we are fortunate to have all this astrological assistance available. On top of that, the sign the Moon is currently in - Cancer - is one of the four cardinal signs and likes to get things going.
Friday, Saturday: the Moon is in Leo
A bunch of aspects again, however this is a lighter configuration than earlier this week, so get out and play, have fun and enjoy yourself. The sign Leo is also very amenable to shopping and since the Moon is not void-of-course, that might be a nice activity too.

Note: Timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on Eastern time zone).
* v/c = Void-of-Course - When the Moon is void-of-course, spend time working on projects already in progress, creative endeavors, or self-improvement. Void-of-course simply means that no planets are aspecting the Moon. It's best not to start new projects, sign important agreements, or go shopping when the Moon is void-of-course because the result will probably be unsatisfactory in some way.
** Mercury Retrograde - the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, and traffic can become very mixed-up or delayed during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after Mercury retrograde (to resume regular activities).
