Good morning, star seekers. There is plenty happening overhead this week, but the loudest event may not be the one northern Nevada can actually see. Wednesday’s New Moon at 20 degrees Leo coincides with a total solar eclipse visible across parts of the North Atlantic and Europe, though Carson City lies outside the eclipse’s visible path. Astrologically, the Leo New Moon still marks a strong beginning around leadership, courage, creativity and the things we are willing to put our names on.
Mars also leaves quick-moving Gemini for Cancer this week, where traditional astrology considers the planet less comfortable and more likely to act from protection, frustration or old feeling rather than a clean line of attack. Fortunately, Venus is strong in her own sign of Libra, and by the weekend Mercury meets generous Jupiter in Leo. The week may begin with emotion running ahead of reason, but it ends with a bigger view of what might actually be possible.
Aries
Wednesday’s New Moon lands in one of the livelier parts of your chart, stirring romance, creativity, children and the simple question of what still gives you genuine pleasure. Something wants a beginning here, but Mars moving into your home and family sector suggests the household may have opinions of its own. Old tensions can flare quickly when everyone believes they are protecting the same ground, so choose which hill is actually worth defending. Venus in your partnership sector offers a better route through cooperation, especially later in the week. By Saturday, Mercury and Jupiter favor a bold creative idea, heartfelt conversation or decision that puts some joy back on the calendar.
Taurus
Home, family, property and your sense of belonging come under Wednesday’s New Moon, making this a good week to reconsider what you want life behind the front door to feel like. A move, repair, family decision or change in household rhythm may begin taking shape, though it does not need to be finished immediately. Mars entering your communication sector makes words sharper than usual, particularly with siblings, neighbors or anyone involved in everyday logistics. Slow down before a minor misunderstanding becomes a county-wide dispute. Venus, your ruling planet, is well placed to improve work and health routines, and by the weekend a larger family or property plan may finally find language everyone can understand.
Gemini
The New Moon favors writing, learning, local connections and conversations that open a new road. A stalled article, application, class, proposal or neighborhood matter may suddenly have more life in it, especially as Mercury and Jupiter come together toward the weekend. At the same time, Mars leaves your sign and moves into your money sector, where impatience can become expensive. Watch the urge to solve irritation with a purchase or to make a financial decision simply because you are tired of thinking about it. Venus brings an easier current to romance, creativity and recreation. There is room for both serious planning and a little fun, provided the budget knows which is which.
Cancer
Mars enters your sign this week, bringing energy, impatience and a stronger urge to take matters into your own hands. Traditional astrology considers Mars weakened in Cancer, so the challenge is to use that fire deliberately rather than letting an old grievance choose the direction. Wednesday’s New Moon turns attention toward income, possessions and self-worth, opening a new chapter around what you earn and what you consider worth your effort. Venus in Libra brings some welcome peace to home and family matters and may make it easier to improve the atmosphere without solving every old problem. By Saturday, Mercury and Jupiter could bring useful financial news, a larger opportunity or simply the confidence to ask for better terms.
Leo
Wednesday’s New Moon occurs in your sign, making this one of the year’s clearest personal thresholds. The eclipse itself will not be visible from Nevada, but the Sun and Moon meeting in Leo still puts questions of identity, direction, health and visibility squarely in front of you. You may be ready to begin something, change how you present yourself or stop playing a role that has become too small. Mars moves into the hidden part of your chart, however, suggesting that not every battle belongs in public and that exhaustion deserves more respect than pride usually gives it. By Saturday, Mercury and Jupiter meet in your sign, bringing a larger idea or important conversation. Think big, but give the plan enough time to prove it can stand.
Virgo
This is a quieter New Moon for you, falling in the part of the chart associated with retreat, closure, hidden matters and the things that need to end before something else can properly begin. You may find yourself less interested in explaining every decision and more interested in clearing mental and emotional clutter. Mars moving into your friendship sector could stir disagreement within a group or expose frustration over who is carrying the work. Do not volunteer for resentment. Venus has entered your money sector in strong condition, making this a better week for thoughtful budgeting, pricing your work fairly or recognizing resources that have been overlooked. The weekend favors private planning rather than premature announcements.
Libra
The New Moon opens a fresh cycle around friends, community, organizations and the future you are trying to build beyond your immediate obligations. A new collaboration, introduction or long-range goal may deserve attention, especially if it connects you with people who are actually willing to contribute. Mars moves into your career sector this week, which can bring ambition but also friction with bosses, deadlines or public expectations. Avoid turning every professional problem into a test of loyalty. Venus, your ruling planet, is at home in your sign and gives you more leverage through diplomacy, appearance and simple good judgment than force would provide. By the weekend, a conversation with a friend or group could put real momentum behind a plan that had previously been mostly talk.
Scorpio
Career, reputation and public direction come under Wednesday’s Leo New Moon. You may be ready to pursue a different role, accept more responsibility or put your name behind work that has been developing quietly. Mars, your traditional ruler, moves into the part of your chart connected with travel, higher education, publishing, law and belief, where frustration can easily attach itself to a principle. Make sure you are arguing for the actual issue rather than for the satisfaction of winning the argument. Venus favors work done privately and relationships handled with discretion. By Saturday, Mercury and Jupiter meet near the top of your chart, potentially bringing professional news, a useful introduction or an idea worth presenting to people with influence.
Sagittarius
The horizon opens this week. Wednesday’s New Moon activates travel, education, publishing, law and the beliefs that help you make sense of the wider world, making it a natural moment to begin a course, revive a manuscript, plan a journey or reconsider where a long-term ambition could lead. Mars entering Cancer turns up the temperature around shared money, debt, taxes, trust or emotional obligations, however, so the larger dream still needs an honest ledger underneath it. Venus is well placed among friends and allies, and someone in your wider circle may be more helpful than expected. By Saturday, Mercury joins your ruling planet Jupiter in Leo. A big idea may arrive quickly; the useful part will be deciding which piece of it can actually be built.
Capricorn
Shared money, debts, taxes, inheritances, trust and private agreements enter a new cycle under Wednesday’s New Moon. This can be a useful time to renegotiate terms, straighten out an obligation or have a conversation that has been avoided because the numbers or feelings were uncomfortable. Mars moves into you
