How To Harness This Month's Full Moon, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

We're gearing up for the first full moon of the astrological new year, which happens to also be a pink moon in the sign of Libra. Depending on your zodiac sign (sun and/or rising), this supermoon can mean different things for you—here's what to know, according to astrologer Kayse Budd, M.D.

"There may be a realization or occurrence that happens within one of your relationships just before or during the full moon window that emphasizes this polarity and brings it to your awareness," she explains, noting that a relationship could move in a new direction, and you may feel "softer" than usual, thanks to the influence of Mars in Pisces. "It may also bring up a wound regarding self-image or self-esteem that has been buried in your subconscious," she adds.

Since the north node is transiting your sign all year, she adds that this could be a year of karmic experiences for you. And this moon may specifically "bring some event, idea, opportunity, insight, or new connection related to your work and service to the world or your health," she explains. If you feel like you're being reborn—you are in a sense, so hold on tight.

Landing in your fifth house of creativity, fertility, and romance, you may also feel particularly creative around this time, Budd notes, or even hear pregnancy news. "Ceres, an asteroid that relates to nurturance, is transiting your sign right now, making self-nurturance an additional focus—and one that is sometimes a bit less natural for Gemini," she adds.

Cancer is ruled by the moon, so all full (and new) moons are significant for you, and with the moon in relationship-oriented Libra, Budd says relationships and connecting are at the forefront this weekend. "Connect with family, especially your mother or a mother figure, and also make time for friends. Try to balance 'nesting' at home with a little bit of socializing," she suggests.

"You may have some opportunities to connect more deeply with others (particularly your siblings) or take a short trip. If you have some free time, it would be wonderful to do some writing, singing, or creating under the energy of this moon, which is favorable to your artistic side," she explains.

"There is potentially a lot going on in your relationship world right now—possibly a new friend or partner has come on the scene. There may be a house deal closing or the purchase of some new property or larger possession that coincides with this full moon," Budd notes.

"For some of you, this moon may be a culmination of one thing and a transition to something else. Having the full moon in your sign may make you extra emotionally sensitive and intuitive for a few days," she adds. And while you may feel extra energized around this time, Budd warns against overdoing it.

You may also be experiencing rapid changes or having a lot of new ideas come through. And thanks to the south node transiting your sign, "This can bring people and experiences from your past, or possibly from past lives, across your path," Budd notes. Overall, this energy is clearing, transforming, and liberating, if you allow it to be.

And excitingly enough, a dream of yours could manifest right now. Budd explains that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction active during the past week has an extra impact for you since Jupiter rules Sagittarius. "With the moon falling in the area of your life associated with dreams and connections, it's very possible this is a favorable time for you, so enjoy it to the max. Some wish may be coming true," she says.

If you've been facing any issues around money or possessions, things may start swinging your way this weekend, according to Budd, thanks to your ruling planet, Saturn, moving through Aquarius. She also notes this would be a good time to connect with your father or a father figure.

Budd says something you've written or created may be published or released into the world, or, there could also be a legal issue you've been facing that's close to a resolution. "Things may feel a little heavier right now for you in general, due to Saturn being in your sign," she adds, noting that while it might not be easy, it's likely helping you bring your visionary ideas and impulses into reality in a stable, lasting way. 

"This is an exciting, important, but also potentially difficult time for sensitive Pisceans," Budd tells mbg. She notes that irritations and confusion may be high, but opportunities abound as well. "Overall, many of you are in a position to take action on a dream, with Venus, Jupiter, and Mars in your sign. You are expanding yourself, and what you can be and do. If you've been percolating a dream and feel you could act, go for it!"
