Sunday, Monday(*v/c-evening): the Moon is in Taurus
Mercury (communication) and Mars (action) are in a square aspect (connection) to the Moon. This aspect is a very strong link and will bring up either invigorating circumstances that will promote the completion of a project or challenging situations where you will not see final results until some changes have been made. Either way, it's important to follow through on what was started because Taurus likes to see a finished product.
Tuesday, Wednesday: the Moon is in Gemini
Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac, is square the Moon and is presenting something verbal or written that needs attention. Very likely some points need to be clarified, reworked, or redefined. Saturn also can bring up things that need to be re-evaluated to see if they are even pertinent or whether they should be dropped altogether. Whatever the case, this is the time to go over something again and see how it can be improved.
Thursday, Friday: the Moon is in Cancer
Venus - the planet that rules love & affection, nice things and pleasant surroundings - is in a strong aspect (square) to the Moon. Look around your home (associated with the sign Cancer in astrology) and see what you can do to make things even more comfortable. It doesn't have to be a big project, maybe just some throw pillows or other accents in colors that soothe your soul when you come home each day.
Saturday: the Moon is in Leo
Leo is a sign that likes to have fun. Mercury and Mars (see Sunday's forecast for keywords) are at the end of their travel through Aquarius, the sign that is directly across the zodiac from Leo. Leo rules the individual and Aquarius rules groups. So this weekend be sure to have lots of fun conversations, read something just for fun, involve yourself in playful activities whether in a solitary or group format, etc. and leave the serious stuff for another time.

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 your 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).
