This Memorial Day weekend, the moon moves through stoic Capricorn. Distract yourself from your mounting responsibilities by enjoying a moment in the sun. Thankfully, the moon angles toward speedy Uranus on Monday morning. A sudden increased awareness of your most important duties leads to a productive start to your week.
Your focus intensifies as the moon shifts into logical Aquarius and falls into the path of Pluto retrograde. Increasing emotional distractions will prevent you from tackling the big task on your to-do list. Lucky Jupiter is in your corner on Monday evening, encouraging deep psychological explorations. A breakthrough will help you get to the bottom of your buried feelings.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Don’t assume that others know why you’ve gone quiet. Giving your friends the full rundown of your deepest feelings may feel uncomfortable. But, a brief overview of what’s on your plate is better than ghosting them.

Bursts of intense focus at work will put you days ahead of schedule. Try not to think too far ahead. Worrying about the consequences of not cleaning the house or checking in on others will put you in a bad mood. Do what you can.

This moody Monday is an opportunity to transform your darkest feelings. Dive deep into your emotional archives. Acknowledge what you are repressing and refraining from sharing with your family. Make the call, Scorpio. It’s better to let it out than hold it all in.
