MOORE WEEKLY STARS
April 8-14, 2024
ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Monday night’s Total Solar Eclipse is in your sign which boosts energy levels, turbo-charges your motivation and increases your determination. If you’re lacking confidence (and feeling more like a meek lamb than a courageous ram) then spend time with an uber Aries friend. Hopefully, some of their chutzpah and self-assurance will rub off on you. But Mercury is also activating your sign, so slow down and think (carefully) before you speak and act!
TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
Taurus is a fixed sign and you can be a bossy, stubborn Bull. Aim to be more adaptable and adventurous this week, as you focus attention on helping those around you. The Solar Eclipse lights up your humanitarian zone, so being of service to others sees you glow on the inside. But with Mercury in retrograde mode, take the time to double-check all information and communicate clearly. On Wednesday and Thursday, tread carefully with family and friends.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Mercury is your ruling planet and it’s in retrograde mode until April 25. So it’s not a good time to gossip; sign contracts; start a job or business; buy a phone, computer, car or home; launch a website; install new software; go on an important business trip or embark on a big overseas holiday. However, it IS a good time to do anything with an ‘re’ in front of it … revise, rehearse, review, remember, return, recover and reconnect. And make sure you double-check everything.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Avoid being a lonesome Crab! Professional projects and creative collaborations with colleagues are favoured, as you spark ideas off each other and pool your talents to produce something special. The Total Solar Eclipse and Venus increase enthusiasm and encourage rebooting a rickety work relationship that’s been experiencing problems. But be careful you don’t get into an emotional stew over a festering secret, a broken promise, or a breach of trust.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
Are you a Lion who’s feeling rather restless? On Monday night there’s a fiery Solar Eclipse in your adventure zone, which highlights holidays, adventure, exploration and exciting beginnings. But retrograde Mercury is also there, which could complicate travel plans, limit patience, shorten timelines and lengthen frustrations. So you’ll need to be on your best behaviour if you want to cruise through the week! Clever Cats will check, double-check, listen and learn.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Mercury (your boss planet) is in retrograde mode until April 25. So – even though there’s a New Moon/Solar Eclipse on Monday night – it’s not an appropriate week to expedite tasks, initiate ideas or race ahead with projects. Instead, use the time wisely to remember, revise, research and review. Be patient, pace yourself and move ahead slowly in planned stages. Your motto for the moment is from Ralph Waldo Emerson “Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
With Venus and the Solar Eclipse in your relationship zone, you’re keen to motivate, encourage and inspire others. But Mercury is retrograde, so you’ll need to utilise your well-developed diplomatic skills. Librans are the fashionistas of the zodiac, so it’s up to you to lead the way towards a more sustainable future. Wisdom for the week comes from fashion designer/innovator (and birthday great) Vivienne Westwood “Buy less, choose well, make it last.”
SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Jump off the comfy couch! The Solar Eclipse (in Aries) encourages you to be proudly proactive as you get your body moving, set challenging daily goals and then actively pursue them. Not sure how to do that? Try rubbing shoulders with your kickass Aries friends … they’ll show you how to crank up your motivation and energise your enthusiasm. But Mercury is in retrograde mode, so be careful you don’t stir up trouble and play power games.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
With your sparky Sagittarian mojo and momentum running on high speed, you’re ready to rock and roll! Monday night’s fiery Solar Eclipse activates your leisure and pleasure zone, so all forms of entertainment will appeal as you socialise with friends and enjoy yourself to the max. However – with Mercury reversing through your friendship zone – be careful you don’t say the wrong thing to the wrong person. Think things through before you speak.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Solar Eclipse promises a fresh start involving family plans, a domestic situation, or a new housemate. But the Mars/Saturn conjunction – and retro Mercury – could delay a project, exacerbate a misunderstanding, or frustrate a financial situation. So proceed with a pragmatic attitude plus plenty of caution. Family and friends are the ones who matter. As Michelle Obama (a fellow Capricorn) observes “Surround yourself with people who will make you better.”
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The Aquarian buzz word for the week is Communication (with a capital ‘C’). Monday night’s Solar Eclipse stimulates your neighbourhood and conversation zone, so expect increased social interaction and educational activities within your local community. When it comes to an ongoing neighbourhood problem, think global and act local. Wisdom for the week is from fashion designer (and birthday great) Vivienne Westwood “The sexiest people are thinkers.”
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Mars and Saturn link up in your sign (on Wednesday/Thursday) which could stymie progress, squash confidence and bring you down. However – fortunately – the Solar Eclipse and Venus stimulate your self-esteem zone. So steer clear of criticism (in person and online); avoid getting caught up in a negative self-talk loop; and stop worrying about the qualities you perceive you don’t have. It’s time to celebrate your strengths and be your Number One fan!
