Aries:
The Full Moon triggers a release of hidden or unacknowledged pain. Relief can be achieved through meditation, time alone or dream work. This influence could also signify the completion of a hospital stay or illness. You won't have much downtime after this as Mercury moves into your sector of work and health. Your daily routine will accelerate as duties and obligations demand attention . Be prepared for lots of paperwork, documents to proofread/sign or medical details to attend to. Health/exercise routines can benefit from a detailed examination.
Taurus:
The Full Moon hi-lights healing/charity work involving the public. You'll either become aware of how much you've given to others or how much you've given up. This can be an ideal time to heal or move on from ruptured friendships or feelings of being left out. Mercury takes the sting off as he livens up your sector of creativity and celebrations, introducing flirtatious conversations, creative expressions or a chance to advertise what you're worth. Don't be afraid to talk about what you have to offer; others will listen.
Gemini:
It's time to let go of career disappointments and insecurities. The Full Moon signals completion in the guise of a job ending, opportunity denied, or career disappointment. Alternatively, you can release fears of success and confront doubts/conflicts about your status. Not all paths are open to you, but after this influence you'll be able to focus on the ones that are. Allow your attention to shift from career to home as your ruler (Mercury) enters your sector of home and family. The focus will be on mortgages, rental agreements, home business communications and family discussions. Facts, figures, picky details and precise communication will be important.
Cancer:
Certain opportunities involving long distance, education, travel, legal matters or publishing will now fade away or be revealed as less than you had hoped for. Although the initial disappointment may be sharp, it will be a relief to let go of something that was beyond your reach to begin with. Once the dust has settled, see what's new and work with that as Mercury enters your communication sector. You'll be back on track with an influx of information, communications and ideas to generate new opportunities.

Relationships with co-workers can be very touchy, but there is huge potential to resolve certain issues (especially involving lack of appreciation).

Aquarius:
Security issues are the hot button this week as the Full Moon brings up some uneasy feelings. You may fear that your financial/emotional foundation is dissolving, but check to see what's really driving this. Culminating events will be highly emotional, and some of the fallout may be related to old agendas that no longer apply.
