A quiet new Moon at home asks you to begin again, gently
Today the new Moon falls in your solar fourth house of home and family, so a fresh start tends to begin close to your own front door.
The Moon is new in Scorpio in your fourth house, and the mood of the day turns inward, towards home, family and the private places where you recharge. New Moons favour quiet intentions over loud announcements, so this may be a good day to think about what you want your home life to feel like over the coming weeks. A tidy drawer, a phone call to a parent or sibling, or simply an evening in with the curtains drawn can carry more meaning than it seems.
Mercury and Venus share that same fourth house in Scorpio, with Venus retrograde. Conversations at home may run deeper than usual, and an old feeling or an unfinished matter with someone close tends to resurface. Venus moving backwards suits revisiting rather than rushing: mending, remembering and appreciating what is already yours. With Mars and Jupiter both in Leo in your first house, you may still feel bold and ready to act, but today that warmth works best when it is offered to the people around your table rather than spent on proving yourself.
Your ruler, the Sun, sits in Libra in your third house of conversation and short journeys. A brief errand, a walk round the neighbourhood or a friendly message can lift your spirits and help you sort your thoughts. In the background, Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your ninth house invite you to review your beliefs and plans for study or travel slowly, without forcing answers yet.
Close to home
Family and household matters tend to need a softer touch. Listening fully before you reply may bring you closer to someone you love, especially if an old subject returns.
Small, clear steps
Work and study go well when you choose one honest intention and a simple first task. Short messages and neighbourly contacts can be more useful than big meetings today.
A restful nest
Rest comes most easily in familiar surroundings. A warm meal, an early night or an hour with a good book can help you feel settled and renewed.
Plant one quiet wish for your home life today, and let it grow in its own time.
Simha (Leo) today
Simha: a brave, bright Monday with a steady hand on the reins
With the Moon in Libra, your third house, and Chandra bala strong, today favours the small act of courage you have been putting off.
The Moon spends all of Monday in Libra, the third house from your rāśi, the house of courage and initiative, and its strength is good. The classical result is simple: victory and success. This is a good day to send the message, make the call or put your hand up in the meeting. Venus, retrograde but favourable in the same house, adds grace and a taste for fine things, so your efforts tend to land more gently and more warmly than you expect. Mercury here asks only that you keep an eye on rivals. Be bold, and keep your plans to yourself until they are ready.
Behind the brightness sits a longer story. Saturn, retrograde in Pisces, marks Aṣṭama Śani, the eighth from your Moon, a demanding passage that asks you to slow down and look after yourself. Jupiter and Mars both rest in Cancer, your twelfth house, which tends to bring some worry and outgoings. Keep plans modest and your temper cool. Today's success is real, but it is best built in small, sure steps rather than grand leaps.
Closer to home, the Sun in Virgo, your second house of family and speech, can make you a little stubborn and too ready to trust. Choose carefully whom you confide in, and with what. Rahu in your seventh asks for care in agreements, so read things twice before you say yes. It is Monday, the Moon's own day, and Śukla Dvitīyā, the second day of the waxing Moon, which brings a soft, growing quality. Let something new begin quietly and give it room to grow.
People and love: warmth with care
Your charm runs high with Venus in the third, so a kind word to a sibling or neighbour may mean a great deal. In close partnerships, listen more than you promise, and leave any binding agreement for a calmer day.
Work and study: the confident first step
A good day to pitch an idea, start a course or speak up. Keep your best cards close, as rivals may be watching, and finish one task well rather than starting five.
Rest and wellbeing: slow the pace
With Saturn asking you to look after yourself, an unhurried evening, an early night or a quiet walk may help you digest the day. Retreat is no defeat; it is how your courage refills.
Take the brave step today, but take it lightly, and keep a little quiet for yourself tonight.
