Aries (Mar 21–Apr 19)
Focus: Career and reputation. Put your name on something solid; quiet competence travels farther than hype. (Cap Moon lights your 10th; Virgo Sun/Mercury fortify the 6th.)
Taurus (Apr 20–May 20)
Focus: Pathfinding. Plan the long drive, the degree, or the pitch one exact step at a time. (Cap Moon in your 9th; Virgo Sun in your 5th makes the message crisp.)
Gemini (May 21–Jun 20)
Focus: Money and boundaries. Clean up shared accounts and set fair terms. (Cap Moon in your 8th; Virgo Sun clarifies home and property in the 4th.)
Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)
Focus: Partnerships. Set the agenda, then negotiate it like a pro. (Cap Moon in your 7th; Virgo Sun/Mercury in your 3rd keep the facts tight.)
Leo (Jul 23–Aug 22)
Focus: Systems and workload. Trim the fluff and fix the workflow; think Washoe Valley tidy after a wind gust. (Cap Moon in your 6th; Virgo Sun steadies the 2nd.)
Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)
Focus: Voice and creative control. Send the draft, but proof it like an editor. (Cap Moon in your 5th; Sun and Mercury in your 1st give you the mic.)
Libra (Sep 23–Oct 22)
Focus: Base camp. Handle household and family logistics before they handle you. (Cap Moon in your 4th; Virgo Sun cools the 12th noise so you can think.)
Scorpio (Oct 23–Nov 21)
Focus: Comms and coordination. Make the call, lock the time, publish the plan, without the drama. (Cap Moon in your 3rd; Virgo Sun boosts your 11th networks.)
Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21)
Focus: Positioning and pay. Price your work to match your value, not your doubts. (Cap Moon in your 2nd; Virgo Sun elevates your 10th.)
Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19)
Focus: Direction. Choose the trail and start walking; the foothills will tell you the rest. (Cap Moon in your 1st; Virgo Sun maps the 9th.)
Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 18)
Focus: Cleanup and closure. Archive, repay, release: with a lighter pack, you’ll have a better pace. (Cap Moon in your 12th; Virgo Sun in the 8th clarifies terms.)
Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)
Focus: Allies. Build with the people who show up on time and bring tools. (Cap Moon in your 11th; Virgo Sun/Mercury clarify the 7th.)
Bottom line for all signs: Use the earth trine to make one durable improvement you can point to by sundown.
