The Full Moon occurs early in the morning today, when most people in the western hemisphere are still asleep, but its effects will persist for about three days. The Cancer-Capricorn axis, where this Full Moon occurs, is all about safety and security. It manifests most strongly in issues of home, family, work and career. These issues will be especially strong if your birthday is today or around January 17 - 18, April 16 - 17 or October 19 - 20.

The Moon continues to dally in Capricorn, spurring us on in our work. Much can be accomplished when the Moon is in this industrious sign. After sundown, she's doing everything she can to attract our attention. She's 'out of bounds,' meaning much farther south -- lower in the sky -- than usual. And in tomorrow's wee hours, she'll be full. Open yourself to the illumination the Full Moon can bring.

Enjoy today's favorable Moon aspects, which increase focus and stamina. Put your energy into something worthwhile, such as a long-term project or relationship that you hope will endure the test of time. Tonight, the Moon will pass bright, majestic Jupiter, an event that's very easy to see in the sky. It's pretty to the eye and somehow makes us feel good, too. Enjoy a pleasant conversation under moonlit skies.

Fleet-footed Mercury casts an energizing aspect to Mars today, giving us all a boost of physical well-being and a shot to the nervous system. Why not get some vigorous exercise early on today? This will provide an outlet for your excess energy and leave your mind free and clear, so you can be extra productive as the day wears on. This evening could evolve into a therapy session of sorts, as you and a friend or loved one talk over a sensitive issue.

The week gets off to a rollicking good start, and you can even get some work done. Your thinking is clear and organized, but most importantly, you're open to inspiration and startling new ideas as the Sun trines Uranus the Awakener. The Sagittarius Moon will help everyone soak up this amazing energy. Make a conscious effort to tap into the flow of innovation and fresh thinking that's readily available now, especially if today is your birthday, or you were born around March 13 or November 15.

You've been feeling it build all week, and today's the day: Mars joins Saturn in early Virgo. Since time out of mind, astrologers have called these two planets the 'malefics.' This term sounds negative, but that's just a matter of human perspective: It describes how we experience the harsh, demanding nature of these two planetary energies. Not very happily! You can imagine that a meeting between these two powerhouses isn't the easiest union, astrologically speaking. Our patience will be tested today, especially for those of us born on or around February 26, May 27, August 29 or November 29.
