You're usually the life of the party, but you're going to have less capacity for small talk and surface-level chitchat than usual, Leo. That's OK — just forego any major social events in favor of quality time with your closest confidants instead. You'll be able to open up and get real in the way that you need in order to sift through your existential feelings.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

Your chat should go well, no matter what kind of drama was brought to the table — and the honesty will bring your friendship to a new level of understanding.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

It's the perfect time to get the ball rolling on all the little goals and habits you've been trying to incorporate into your routine.

The new moon is bringing pleasure, romance, creativity, and fun to the forefront of your brain and the top of your to-do list, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You're in the mood to stay home and relax, so invite a close friend or two over to your place for drinks and snacks instead of hitting the town. It's a great opportunity to connect and bond in a way that's hard to do when you're hitting a nonstop flow of social events.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Tina Gong/Bustle

Your calendar is packed this weekend and the new moon is bringing out your inner social butterfly, so make the most of the uptick in energy and lean into your extroverted side. Meet up with friends for fun and fascinating conversations over drinks — and leave a little extra room open in your schedule to account for the possibility of having equally stimulating and unexpected chats with strangers, too!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You'll probably feel best after the weekend if you keep your spending to a minimum, Aquarius. Bump the music and pre-game at home with friends before going out to save some cash on cocktails, or cook a yummy meal at a friend's place instead of splurging at a restaurant. You can still live it up in your social life without breaking the bank.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
