With the influence of today’s New Moon, new beginnings, especially in the area of material recognition or achievement may occur. Guard against feelings of sadness or grief that could impact your interactions with others and allow your inner light to shine forth.
With the Moon now in Leo, your warm and generous nature naturally makes you the center of attention. That said, you’ll want to keep your ego in check so that the center of attention doesn’t become self-centered in the process.
If you become too exhausted or distracted to meet challenges today, have the grace to step back and accept the decisions of others. Otherwise, you may overlook something that might seem insignificant, but in fact, causes something to fail. So, some restraint may be required until all facts are known.

Not everyone appreciates hearing someone else describe their innermost thoughts.
Although the Moon is conjunct Venus and love is in the air, excessive behavior might have a negative impact so some self-control may be necessary especially if uncomfortable truths come up. A new strategy may be needed to preserve the relationship. With the Moon in Libra, strive for balance and harmony.
Take comfort in aligning with others to foster strength and security. Allow for a subtle approach instead of one that asserts or forces a single-minded agenda that may only increase confusion. Know that a service to others perspective coupled with a collaborative approach will provide the best outcome.

Friday the 13th portends good fortune for you today. While an innovative approach will benefit any practical concerns you might experience, it’s your imaginative and intuitive sensibility that brings growth and success, and maybe a little magick into your life.
If conflict arises, avoid overreaction. It’s likely situational and will soon pass. Find a physical outlet to regain your balance. Clear the air if necessary but avoid controlling the situation especially if boundaries are the issue.
If circumstances seem impossible, it may be that someone is refusing to engage with integrity and you may need to remain adaptable should common ground be difficult to establish. With harmony as your goal, you might need to consult someone with more experience to offer a realistic or objective view of the situation.
