It’s more common than you think—here’s how to fix it for good.

You’ll need to get down to business on the first Monday of December, but stars aren’t having it, at least during the first chunk of the day in your daily horoscope. With a void-of-course moon in effect from 10:47 a.m. ET until 4:09 p.m. ET, you might feel like you can’t get much done. Void-of-course moons are when the moon has left one sign but hasn’t yet officially entered the next one, so the vibe is slightly off.  The other shot in the cosmic arm happens when Venus in Capricorn hugs it out with Uranus in Taurus in the morning, allowing you to slip some unexpectedly flirtatious energy into the mix.

Here’s the thing: If you have must-do agenda items that require bold moves, attend to them early in the morning while the moon is still in sassy Sagittarius. You can save the more mundane stuff for the late afternoon and early evening, after the moon enters practical Capricorn.

Aries

March 21–April 19

Your morning was made for adventures, Aries. It’s time to spice up your workout routine or start the day in an entirely new way—with a podcast or conversation that opens your mind. The midday slowdown is real today, so don’t be surprised if you feel like slacking or napping. Taking a little snooze is absolutely legit during this astro situation.

Taurus

April 20–May 20

While most signs are likely to find today’s astro-energy sleep-inducing and maddening, you’re able to tap into something completely different, Taurus. That’s because your planetary ruler Venus is in a sweet trine (a friendly aspect) to Uranus in the morning. Think of this like someone you’re crushing on blowing you a kiss or sending you an unexpected sext. In short, it’s kinda hot!

Gemini

May 21–June 20

Take it easy, Gemini. The moon remains in your opposite sign early this morning, which can be a drag on your energy, so it’s totally fine if you want to sleep in, hit snooze, or call in sick. You’ve got the appropriate astro-excuse, considering that your ruler Mercury just stationed retrograde a week ago, and you’re still getting acclimated to that chaos. Whatever you do, take it slow.

Cancer

June 21–July 22

Today you may find yourself in that foggy in-between space where you’re not sure whether to focus on work or relationships, Cancer. These needs—financial security and human connection—are apt to pull you in two directions at once. By the time the moon moves into Capricorn later this afternoon, you’ll be more secure about your stance, Cancer.

Leo

July 23–August 22

Even if you wake up in a purely passionate mood, any amorous inklings could quickly fade into the background, Leo. The moon is in your fifth house of love and romance early this morning, sparking your interest in all things dating, mating, and relating. If you need to text back a love interest, get that out of your system early, because you’ll move into work mode later. By then, you may not feel like you even have time for lovers, wannabe lovers, or long-term partners.

Virgo

August 23–September 22

Love planet Venus and wild child Uranus are in a sweet position vis-à-vis one another in your chart, Virgo. With both planets in your sister Earth signs, both your romance zone and your travel sector are lit up in the sweetest way possible. Even though it’s a new week with possibly boring obligations, you can at least fantasize about a fun weekend away, or just throw caution to the wind and spontaneously book it.

Libra

September 23–October 22

Passionate conversations are on tap early this morning, Libra. With the moon in your talking and thinking zone, while your planetary ruler Venus blows kisses to “anything-goes” Uranus in your sexuality sector, it’s giving hot vibes in your domestic scene. You might also use this energy as a distraction from the drudgery of work.

Scorpio

October 23–November 21

Early today you’re money-motivated, Scorpio, so you can dive right into your weekday ambition while the moon remains in your financial zone. You could lose steam quite quickly in the late morning and early afternoon, so crunch numbers, manage your budget, and do any necessary online shopping before things get a bit lazy and messy later on.

Sagittarius

November 22–December 21

Your peak energy phase ends this morning, Sagittarius, so grab the good stuff while it’s available to you. The moon only visits your own sign once a month, and this stopover is extra special because it’s also your birthday season. The new moon in Sagittarius has just passed, but you can still take a sweet hit from this lovely, hopeful, and purposeful elixir. Think through your next six months and focus on what you want to manifest.

Capricorn

December 22–January 19

If you’ve been sleeping deeply or experiencing insomnia during the last few nights, you might just blame the moon in your dream zone, Capricorn. But by early this morning, that phase ends as lunar energy begins shifting toward your very own sign, where it will guide your way through the next few days. This is your monthly reset, so prepare to be renewed.

Aquarius

January 20–February 18

With Venus, the planet in charge of love and beauty, forming an enticing “trine” aspect to your electrifying ruler Uranus this morning, something is happening in your psyche, Aquarius. It might just be unexpected amorousness. You may crush on someone or realize someone is crushing on you, and it could take you by surprise. It could be fleeting, but it could also be the beginning of a longer-term love.

Pisces

February 19–March 20

You may wake up feeling like your professional prowess is unstoppable, and early this morning, it kind of is. But the moon leaves your career zone fairly early, so this is definitely a “strike while the iron is hot” astro-sitch for you, Pisces. Later in the day, things begin to come into focus for you socially, so check in with the group chat when making important decisions.
