Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) occurs in Scorpio at 1:34 PM EDT today (10:34 AM PDT).

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Do your best to avoid arguments about money, possessions and financial matters, including inheritances or how something is shared. People will get angry today in a split second. It’s potentially explosive day. Don’t go looking for trouble because it’s already looking for you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Lunar Eclipse is occurring opposite your sign, with the Sun, retrograde Mercury and Uranus. This is an explosive, sensitive combination! The best way to handle this is to check yourself. Take a breath before you respond to others. Don’t take the bait.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today something going on behind the scenes might get your goat. Basically, what you’re dealing with is an unusual buildup of Full Moon energy that makes people restless, ready to fight, and emotionally angry. Do nothing. Steer clear of difficult situations, especially secrets or something going on behind the scenes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid difficulties with friends or members of groups today by postponing contentious discussions for another day. Today there is a Lunar Eclipse that will definitely trigger explosive feelings with others. Therefore, do not choose today to set things straight. Be smart.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a poor day to challenge authority figures – parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Likewise, you might find it challenging dealing with family members, especially females. For your own best interests and peace of mind, avoid challenging others. Stay cool.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. No question. Travel plans might suddenly change or be cancelled or delayed. Avoid controversial subjects because they will lead to nasty arguments. Keep your mind on what you’re doing. Pay attention.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Disputes about shared property or who is responsible for what might erupt into a nasty showdown today. It’s Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Be smart and rein in your impulsive feelings because personality clashes today will not be resolved. Stay chill. If you play your cards right, you won’t have later regrets.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a tough day relating to others, especially partners and close friends. People will be quick to argue, and you might reach an impasse and create a situation that is difficult to resolve later. Be smart and avoid this. There is no winning today. (Don’t come on too strong, which you can do.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Work-related arguments might be nasty today. Don’t get involved because you might be in a situation where later, no one wants to forgive or forget. Meanwhile, today’s Full Moon energy is accident-prone, especially at work – or perhaps with your pet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should be extra vigilant about their kids today to avoid accidents. Remove toddlers from potentially hazardous situations. Be patient with your kids. Likewise, this stressful day could create breakups in romantic relationships. Today patience is your best friend.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today’s Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio taking place at the top of your chart. This creates tension and emotional challenges between your dealings with family and home versus your dealings with your career and your public reputation. Take a step back. Don’t get involved.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone day for your sign so pay attention to everything you say and do. The Full Moon today is actually a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio at odds with the Sun, Mercury and Uranus, which is an explosive situation. Anything might suddenly occur – out of the blue! Keep your eyes open.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Author, social activist Naomi Klein (1970) shares your birthday today. You are an excellent communicator and a great conversationalist. You are a problem solver because you are quick to see the heart of the matter. This year you will reap the benefits of your previous work. Expect to attain a leadership role, kudos, a promotion or be in the spotlight.

The Full Moon for this month will occur early in the month on Friday, May 5th. The New Moon will happen later in May on Friday, May 19th.

May’s Full Flower Moon

May is most notable for being the turning point in the year where temperatures rise and a vast variety of flowers come into full bloom, letting the world break out into a riot of color. As such, May’s full moon has come to be known as the Full Flower Moon. The Anishnaabe tribe also called it the Blossom Moon. In Northern America, you can expect to see flowers such as bluebells, sundrops, violets, and so on, as well as lush greenery to go with the blossoms. The Apache and Lakota peoples named May’s full moon the Green Leaves Moon, while the Mohawk tribe called it the Big Leaf Moon. But there is one specific plant that’s very important during the May season – and it is, in fact, not a flower.

This plant is corn, an important staple food for Northern American peoples. According to the Algonquin tribes, May’s full moon is the Corn Planting Moon. For Native American tribes, this is the perfect time for them to start preparing the fields for farming and sowing the seeds saved up from last year. Appropriately, the Abenaki culture refers to May’s full moon as the Field Maker Moon, while the Haida tribe calls it the Food Gathering Moon. Apart from corn, other foods such as beans, squash, and potatoes are planted during this time. The Cherokee tribe called May’s full moon the Anisguti Moon, or the Planting Moon, and would traditionally perform a Corn Dance during this period to encourage a fruitful corn harvest.

Due to the rising temperatures, the Full Flower Moon is also a time of heightened fertility. This is a good time for women to bear children in a warm, safe environment that would increase the chance of their survival. That’s why May’s full moon is also named Mother’s Moon, or Milk Moon, which could refer to breastfeeding or to the milking of cows. The latter interpretation is based off the Old English name Rimilcemona, or the Month of Three Milkings, referring to how this was a period where cows could be milked up to three times daily.

In other parts of the world, the Full Flower Moon is better known as Vesak or Buddha Day, the most significant celebration for Buddhists all around the world. On the first full moon of May, Buddhists commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. Devout practitioners are encouraged to renew their intention to adhere to sacred Buddhist principles, as well as refrain from all forms of killing and violence, including eating meat. Celebrations include giving charity to the poor, disabled, and otherwise marginalized groups in society. Depending on your location, you may witness the spectacular practice of releasing thousands of caged birds into the air as a symbolic gesture of liberation, though this tradition is illegal in countries such as Singapore because it may cause harm to local ecosystems.

Pagans, on the other hand, associate the Full Flower Moon with the element of fire, and thus often celebrate it by lighting bonfires and engaging in other magical fire rituals to bring prosperity. Powerful colors for the Full Flower Moon include fiery colors like red, yellow, and orange. This is a good time to tend your garden and let the seeds you’ve planted blossom – both literally and metaphorically. Cultivate your passions and desires, encourage them to burst forth into bloom, and you will be rewarded with abundance in various forms in your life.

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 5 AM to 11 AM EDT today (2 AM to 8 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful with financial matters today, especially dealing with taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters. For starters, you might have a knee-jerk reaction about something. However, you might also feel confused because of your sympathy for someone. Wait for clarity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be patient with partners and close friends today because they might be emotionally upset about something. In fact, this could relate to an extravagant expenditure or a financial situation that is fuzzy or excessive. Make sure you have all the facts before you make a judgment. Take it easy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be patient with work colleagues today because you might cross swords with someone, possibly because they’re excited about a situation or upset. Perhaps they’re trying to introduce improvements? Meanwhile, you might come from a totally different perspective; hence the confusion.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Lovers’ quarrels might erupt today. Likewise, parents might be suddenly upset with their kids; or your kids might have a hissy fit or a meltdown for some reason. Whatever the case, be patient because there’s a strong element of confusion and wishful thinking today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Do what you can to keep the peace at home today, especially with female family members. Keep in mind that your sympathetic feelings for a friend or a member of a group might add to some confusion to whatever is happening today. Get your facts straight before you take sides.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a mildly accident-prone day for you simply because you might have an emotional reaction to something, which in turn, creates a distraction for you. Accidents don’t have to happen but you have to maintain your cool. When talking to authority figures, think twice before you speak.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your desire to travel and learn is strong today. In fact, you have romantic notions about where you would like to go and what you would like to do. Meanwhile, do not be impulsive about how you spend your money today. Give everything a sober second thought.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a challenging day because the Moon is in your sign square your ruler Pluto, which can stifle your feelings, which doesn’t mean they go away. They’re still there. In fact, jealousy is likely. Be clear about how to handle the resources of others. Don’t give away the farm.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You feel sympathetic to friends, spouses and partners today. You might even feel a strong connection to someone who is a member of the public. (Your compassion is aroused.) Nevertheless, because this element of sympathetic confusion is present, tread carefully.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You don’t have to coerce a friend or a member of a group to agree with you today; however, you will be tempted to do this. Meanwhile, if you can help a coworker- you will. Good. Never miss an opportunity to practice a kindness.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions with parents, bosses, VIPs or the police might become heated today. Avoid this if you can because what good will it serve? Meanwhile, romance is heightened today, even though there is a veil of confusion present. Because of this confusing element, be careful about going overboard.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Avoid controversial subjects today because they will quickly disintegrate into a clash of wills. Meanwhile, you will feel sympathetic to a family member and look for ways to help or support them if you can. You might also enjoy redecorating where you live or tweaking your digs in some way.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Will Arnett (1970) shares your birthday today. You are charming, perceptive and affectionate. You are also calm, which is why others often seek out your help. When necessary, you are an excellent teacher. This is a year of teaching and learning for you and perhaps more solitude. You will acquire more knowledge as well as increased inner awareness.

Aries

This day will teach you a lesson of tolerance and diplomacy. There are so many things that could happen to you this day but they all revolve around the idea of you having to learn to be a lot more understanding and even compromise from time to time.

You have a powerful personality and you need to see that being patient and tolerant doesn’t mean you are less authoritative.

Taurus

There is a great chance for you to wake up today with a huge face of discontent. There might be things that are bothering you and the only answer you find to clear them off is to make some changes in your life.

And instead of focusing on your mind and on your feelings you might embark on some home remodel or on buying things.

Gemini

You are expressive and quick to react today and this will help you seize any opportunity that might come your way, no matter how small this could be.

You should be as socially active as you can because you will get a chance to establish connections with people that will prove useful later on and there might also be occasion of travel that will ease off some work load.

Cancer

This is going to be a day marked by change for you, especially in your career life. Be it that you are forced to take on some new responsibility or that you advance in a position of authority; be sure that those around you will see you in a different light.

Make sure you act according to the new position and try not to let emotions overwhelm you because you need to make a good impression.

Leo

Despite yesterday’s aloofness today most natives will feel energy charged and confident in their charms. Those who are searching for social contact and approval are sure to get into beneficial situations.

You might even get together with someone that could be of good use into a project you’ve preparing for some time or at least someone who could give you good advice.

Virgo

Today you might be a little bit reluctant to socializing and to spending time with other people. Be it that you have a lot on your plate at work or that you simply aren’t in the mood for chit chat.

Mind your work if this is the problem or try to be as diplomatic and patient as possible if there is just your mood acting up. You definitely don’t want to offend anyone with your behavior.

Libra

Despite the fact that everything is going smoothly in both your personal and professional life it seems that there might be some unfortunate news to be received today.

It might have to do with finding out that not everyone is so supportive of your endeavors. You might discover that someone whom you consider your friend has turned his or her back on you.

Scorpio

Today is going to be all about making small steps and learning how to be patient. Maybe there are things you want done as soon as possible but there is no chance for everything to run just as you plan it. So don’t lose your temper and take everything step by step.

You will also get the chance to find out some information that will help you later on.

Sagittarius

Today you are enthusiastic and practical but it seems that your mind is wondering off other territories. You will probably notice how charming you are this day and this will only make you a lot more daring and quick to come in contact with people.

There is a chance you meet someone but there won’t be something of great future going on romantically speaking.

Capricorn

Today you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed with work and there won’t be any escape routes showing of. Don’t expect miracles, just get to work as soon as possible.

Be responsible and efficient. There might be some mundane task you have to deal with but be sure those are important and if left undone will catch up with you faster than you could image.

Aquarius

This day seems promising for you. Be it that you come across a business opportunity or that you meet someone that could help you with an endeavor, make sure you make the best of this day.

You will receive some news that will change your plans for the following weeks but there is no reason to worry because everything will turn to be for the best.

Pisces

The whole exaltation you’ve been feeling in the last days seems to have vanished and now you have a risk of falling into a sad period.

You need to understand that life can be demanding and busy at times and you can’t always do what you want but this doesn’t mean you can’t find accomplishment and optimism in even the most mundane of tasks.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s important to know that you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today. Don’t be impatient. Do not insist on getting your own way. Be generous, cooperative and go along to get along (for your sake). This is the best way to have a good day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s easy to fall into disputes and arguments with work colleagues today. Or perhaps these arguments are with people who are dealing with your health or something to do with a pet. Whatever the case, why even go there? Don’t get your belly in a rash.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Parents must be patient with their kids today because this is the kind of day where it’s easy to lose it. Everyone is short tempered and quick to fight. The result of course will be that everyone will be miserable. You don’t want to be miserable. Therefore, stay cool. Be patient.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Family arguments or spats (especially with a female family member) might arise today. But what will this accomplish other than upsetting everyone? You will be aggressive because Mars is in your sign. Therefore, your choice is: Will you be part of the problem or part of the solution?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

With the Sun at the top of your chart, you are high viz. at this time, which means people notice you. You might want to keep this in mind if you feel upset or angry today with someone. Why create a bad impression? Fortunately, Venus promotes warm relations with friends. Go with what works.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money disputes might arise today, which are difficult to avoid because people are touchy about their money. Meanwhile, you make a great impression on bosses, parents and people in authority at this time so why would you waste this opportunity? Get your facts. Think things through.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You need to have harmony in your surroundings; and you like to get along with others. Although you’re an excellent debater, arguments are not fun. They are unsettling and can ruin your day. Therefore, avoid arguments with authority types today. Be kind to yourself. Go gently.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The best way to keep the peace today is to avoid talking about controversial subjects because today there is no winning. Do your best to be diplomatic when dealing with ex-partners and old friends from your past. Ultimately, you might have to agree to disagree. Accept this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Even though relations with friends or members of groups are challenging today; nevertheless, your relations with partners and people who are close to you will be warm and supportive. Therefore, avoid the difficult exchanges. Talk to people who care for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This continues to be a playful time for you! Plus, relations with coworkers are mutually supportive and positive. This means your challenge today is dealing with partners, spouses and close friends. Be aware that arguments might be public. (Be patient to avoid foot-in-mouth-disease.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with family are positive at this time. Home repairs and fun activities with kids are excellent choices for you. Nevertheless, it might be hard to avoid becoming embroiled in work-related arguments and disputes. Say as little as possible so you have no regrets later.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your life is relatively busy now with short trips, errands and appointments. Avoid disputes with your kids. Likewise, avoid lovers’ quarrels. Instead, focus on improving your home and perhaps redecorating to make things look and feel more attractive. Do what’s best for you.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Dule Hill (1975) shares your birthday today. You are compassionate, caring person who has strong ethics and moral values. You are strong willed, efficient and organized. This year is about service to others, especially family, which is why it’s important that you take care of yourself so that you can be of use to others. Time for a makeover?

Moon Alert

After 2:30 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A discussion with a partner or close friend will be intense today; however, it might also be one of those discussions that clears the air. Naturally, they’re not easy because it’s hard to keep your shirt on when you want to get something off your chest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might encounter opposition or resistance from others at work if you try to introduce reforms or better ways of doing something. You have ideas and you believe in them. (You might be just as earnest about an idea to improve your health.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Parents might have heated discussions with their kids today. Remember what your original objective is and stick to your objective. Ask yourself if what you’re doing will help you achieve your objective – or not. This approach can apply to a discussion with a romantic partner as well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Family discussions might be uncomfortable because someone (possibly you) has definite ideas about how to make improvements at home. They believe in their ideas. Naturally, there will be feelings of frustration if others don’t agree. It was ever thus.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a powerful day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, writing or acting because you will be convincing! The fact is — if you believe in your ideas, you will persuade others to agree with you. (This gives you the motive and the means, which is considered suspicious on crime TV shows.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re in a resourceful frame of mind today, which is why you might see new uses or applications for something that you already own. Or you might see a new way of doing something. Respect your ideas because they will save you money and time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which happens for 2 1/2 days every month; and when this occurs, it always heightens your emotions and feelings about everything. This is why discussions with others might become overheated or a bit zealous. Relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Remember that you need more sleep this month because the Sun is opposite your sign. Many of you are also dealing with ex-partners and old friends back in your world, which can be challenging. Today it’s best to work alone or behind the scenes. Stay chill.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be mellow and easy-going when talking to friends or members of groups today because a discussion might get out of hand. You might overreact. (You are an idealist and can be passionate about your beliefs, especially with issues related to pets and animals.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might have a powerful exchange with an authority figure today – a parent, boss, teacher or a member of the police. One of you might have strong opinions and try to coerce others to agree. (It’s easy to find yourself doing this when you are convinced you are right about something.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions about controversial subjects will be intense today. You might want to convince others to your way of seeing things. These issues could relate to travel, legal matters, something to do with medicine or higher education – you name it. (Remember that one attracts more flies with honey than with vinegar.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You want to clarify how shared property, inheritances or something that is jointly owned will be handled. Of course, you want to make sure you have your fair share. Perhaps you need to convince someone of this? Perhaps someone is trying to convince you otherwise? Stay tuned.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor, wrestler Dwayne Johnson (1972) shares your birthday today. You are organized, direct and practical in a down-to-earth way. You believe in working for results. You are perceptive and have an innate understanding about human nature. This is a year of change, which can be exciting. Expect to travel. Stay light on your feet so that you can act quickly.

Aries

Today you might be asked to describe or justify yourself in front of someone of importance. Be it that you are going for a job interview or a promotion you will probably have to explain in detail some of the work you’ve been doing lately.

Be honest and don’t exaggerate your abilities because these things can catch up with you. Try to appear as responsible as you can.

Taurus

Today you will prove to be the hardest working and responsible of all people, you won’t probably stand not getting to work on your own and fixing everything. This probably means that everyone will come flooding to you for advice or for a helping hand.

You will most likely enjoy such attention and at the end of the day this will serve you as a great accomplishment for the beginning of the week.

Gemini

This week begins for you with an occasion to make the most out of some connections you’ve been making lately. Be it that a problem occurs and you remember there is someone who could help you or that you simply get the chance to help someone or put two people in touch.

Maybe you realize you’ve just met someone who would be willing to listen to you presenting your project and even help you with it.

Cancer

You begin this week enthusiastically and in a complete awareness of your abilities and of your personal worth. This will only help you be even more confident and face everything that comes your way with a big grin on your face.

This mood will even help you fight off any negative thoughts and even see yourself in a better light. The results of this new confidence will be later seen.

Leo

Despite yesterday’s romantic influence it seems that this week does not start under the best influences for those natives whom are committed.

There might be minor arguments occurring and these conflicts could turn up a lot worse if the two sides won’t be able to compromise. For others, this sort of argument will only light up the fire again and will help them get even closer.

Virgo

You have the best chances to start this week in a professional mood, fully focused and hard working. Don’t let the atmosphere at work let you down if the people you are working with are not as responsible as you.

Try to take on as many tasks as you can and deal with them at the beginning of the week because later on it will be even harder to manage any subordinates you might be having.

Libra

This beginning of the week will be filled with conclusions and consequences of your previous actions and it will probably show whether the choices you’ve made in the last weeks were the right ones.

You might also have to deal with some sort of paperwork that will keep you running from one place to another the whole day. Make some alliances at work because it is going to be a long week.

Scorpio

You are starting this week all charged up and quite aggressive I could say. You should find other ways to use your energy because there will be no need to act up at the smallest of inconveniences.

For those natives that are starting a new work day is absolutely compulsory to act all diplomatic and avoid any confrontation. Don’t be a drama queen unnecessarily.

Sagittarius

This week starts under a focus on your partner and on those close to you. Those natives who are working will find it hard to focus as their minds will be wondering while those who are on holiday will get a chance to connect with their partners or with people they enjoy spending time with.

They are all under a tendency to be careful and affectionate with their peers.

Capricorn

This beginning of the week you might be faced with some house problems that will need to be tend to and this will get your entire schedule mixed up.

Make up your priorities and act according to them while avoiding worrying unnecessarily. It could be useful that after the situation is over you would think of a back up plan in case such situations ever occur.

Aquarius

There is a great energy around you this Monday so there are little chances that something that means trouble to come. Since there is not a chance to get unbalanced, use this uneventful day to clear off your mind and make plans for the rest of the week because that won’t be such easy as this day.

This is going to be quite a complex month with a lot of energy expenditure from your side.

Pisces

This Monday you will be one of the hardest working people both at home and at work. It seems that you are all charged up and ready to take responsibilities.

This is the best move you could make this week because it will help you be in charge with everything and avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings that might occur at work especially.
