Best days to apply, interview & negotiate

The next 30 days, scored by astrology's classic timing rules: a building Moon for starts, a bright Moon for visibility, and extra care while Mercury is retrograde.

For reflection and entertainment. Take interviews when you can get them, and use the stars as a tiebreaker when you have a choice.

How the timing rules work

• Waxing Moon: a growing phase, favored for applying, networking and starting new efforts.
• Full Moon: peak visibility, good for interviews and decisions coming to a head.
• Waning Moon: a phase for finishing and refining, less ideal for launches.
• Mercury retrograde: traditionally a time to review rather than sign. Double-check offers and contracts.
• Wednesday is ruled by Mercury (communication) and Thursday by Jupiter (expansion, favorable terms).
