Daily Horoscopes for May 11th
General Daily Horoscope
Energetic Mars moves into plodding Taurus today, helping us slow down and set a pace that improves our chances of actually reaching our goals before we burn out. Meanwhile, the Moon’s entry into analytical Virgo adds logic to our thinking process. The emphasis on practical Earth signs (Taurus and Virgo) helps keep us grounded, but we’re still tempted to indulge our senses as mental Mercury and sweet Venus join joyful Jupiter to lift our spirits.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You can sense the change in energy as your key planet Mars leaves exciting Aries for the more restful ground of Taurus. But your hopes are still running high because you feel lucky. And even if things don’t fall your way today, you’re able to set aside your expectations and enjoy yourself anyhow. If boredom turns to dissatisfaction, come back to the present moment where you can change your attitude and upgrade the entire day.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You might break out in spontaneous fits of laughter today. Your key planet Venus receives a boost of confidence from boastful Jupiter, making it tough to be too serious. You aren’t necessarily interested in hiding your glee now, but you don’t necessarily want to flaunt it, either. Keep in mind that it’s all about your attitude. No one will find fault with you for feeling good as long as you try to share your positive energy with your friends.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are wrapped in a series of lovely social encounters today, yet something can still hold you back from fully enjoying yourself. Since you often keep your options open until the last minute, perhaps you are scared of getting stuck. Unfortunately, your fears have the power to prevent you from being really happy; don’t let your negative thoughts hijack an otherwise positive day.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
It’s hard to trust what you hear today because everyone is prone to exaggeration during the Mercury-Venus-Jupiter conjunction. You might want to believe that what you’re being told is true, yet your instincts also tell you that something isn’t quite right. It all sounds a little too perfect, especially once you consider that your insecurities could make for an unnecessarily hard judge. If you let go of your fears and be open to what happens, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You should be happy with your production today as long as you can concentrate your attention on your goals. But you could end up blaming others for your own lack of focus if you don’t get much work finished. Remember that there are a variety of ways to measure success and you might make significant progress now without having the results to show for it.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You are still running on the buzz of a creative high, yet you may be content now to take a nature walk, stroll through a museum or listen to a new band. Unfortunately, no matter what you do, the inspiration must ultimately come from within. Therefore, you will be happier today if you don’t avoid the hard work of making something yourself. Sharing your gifts with others could feel like a heavy responsibility unless it comes from the heart.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are quite upbeat about a relationship that might have had you feeling down only a few days ago. Thankfully, luck is on your side now as your key planet Venus aligns with jovial Jupiter. Nevertheless, over-confidence can make things tricky if you follow your bliss without thinking about someone else’s feelings. As always, it’s smart to ask others what they want before forging blindly ahead with your plans.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This is a propitious day to begin a major project because whatever you do now will likely be blessed. Although wealth and happiness may be temporary, today’s joyful Venus-Jupiter conjunction makes the material world more tempting than usual. Your willpower is on the line, so keep striving toward living the kind of life you want to lead without letting extravagant behavior pull you off course.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are likely to exaggerate the facts today as your key planet Jupiter magnifies talkative Mercury. You could become obsessive about an idea that seems important enough to take over your whole day. But practicing a bit of sensible restraint may be enough to prevent you from going overboard. It’s not necessary to go to the other extreme by pushing away a potentially enjoyable experience. Just be smart and establish limits so you don’t get into trouble later for forgetting to stop.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your friends might think that you’re overreacting by turning a molehill into a mountain today. However, you are much more stable than you sound. There are two entirely different perspectives unfolding now. The first is about your eagerness to try nearly anything new. The other story is about your unflappable determination. Remember, there is a calm you can find when you dive deep beneath the rough waters on the surface.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may feel invincible today, but your secret weapon is safe from the inquisitive minds of others. This anonymity is because your current power stems from your subconscious mind that’s beyond the sensory perceptions of anyone else. Although you may be tempted to explore these hidden non-physical realms, don’t lose touch with the real world in the process.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might be confused by your current optimism today, especially if others seem to be critical of your new plans. You don’t understand their negativity and may respond by placing more credence in hope than in hardcore planning. However, attending to details now should pay off. If you can keep your unrestrained enthusiasm in check, you have an excellent chance to make some money and even have a bit of fun along the way.
New Moon Report for May 11 – Venus and Mercury conjunct Jupiter
Venus and Mercury conjunct Jupiter
Wednesday, May 11
This alignment of the planets of love, intellect and expansion sparks bright ideas, romantic impulses and social engagements. Stimulating conversations ignite big plans that will require more careful research before we can be sure of their viablity. It’s easy to become enthusiastic with new people and social situations and quickly cook up inventive recipes for fun. Joy flows easily as clever words sound witty, brilliant and completely original but they will need the fuel of commitment for these sparks to catch hold and keep burning after the initial excitement fades.
Daily General Horoscopes for May 10th
General Daily Horoscope
The melodramatic Leo Moon’s square to the unflappable Taurus Sun makes it tough to initiate action until the pressure builds to a breaking point. However, something must give or we may suffer the consequences of being overly stubborn with both the Sun and the Moon in fixed signs. Fortunately, we are likely to find a viable solution when the Moon forms harmonious aspects to several planets in enterprising Aries tonight and early tomorrow morning.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are in a highly creative phase and it’s up to you to find the best way to express yourself. This isn’t just about having fun, for you cannot set aside your responsibilities. Your desires may be luring you toward pleasure, but you’re more likely to make a mature choice now, instead of planning your escape. It’s wise to fulfill your obligations, but don’t ignore your most exciting dreams in the process.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Roots indicates that you have plenty of work to do on the domestic front. Although you may need to go to your regular place of employment today, you still might find a way to also spend plenty of time at home. Treat the smallest chores and simplest pleasures as significant acts so you can maintain a healthy and joyful perspective on your life.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
It’s a very busy day as your regular routine becomes more complicated today. You may talk about simplifying your life, but it’s not going to be easy to cut back on your activities. Instead of fretting over what you cannot finish now, slow down enough to catch your breath and just try to meet your obligations as best you can.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Today’s the day to shift into gear and put your plan into motion. You’ve had enough time to process your feelings and to consider what’s ahead and you can’t put off the inevitable. Instead of waiting for a better moment, take the first steps toward your goal now while you have the chance. It could take a while to get there, so don’t delay starting any longer.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You can actually feel the Moon now that it’s back in your sign because your moods are vacillating more than usual. But you’re also more confident today as the Moon moves toward a superconductive trine with optimistic Jupiter in your 9th House of Big Ideas. You may be too impatient to proceed logically and methodically, but locking your sights on a distant goal can help to assure your success.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might not want to participate in social activities now, but circumstances make it difficult to stay quietly behind the scenes. You need to concentrate on what’s happening, but there aren’t many subjects you are compelled to talk about. Take your time and explore the mysteries of the unknown, for that’s where you’ll make meaningful connections, especially if you share your discoveries with someone you trust.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may be feeling as if time is running out, now that it’s the last day of energetic Mars’ visit to your 7th House of Others. Thankfully, you feel more alive because your relationships have grown more intense. But it’s time to stabilize your interactions with your friends and associates, rather than allowing the stress to get the best of you. Instead of worrying about what you receive from your partners, turn the tables and show your generosity of spirit by being of service of others.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your feelings are on edge today as the Moon’s square to the persistent Taurus Sun stresses you out. You may have been spending too much time on the Magical Mystery Tour, but now it’s time to put your nose to the grindstone so you can make critical decisions about your future. But there’s no need to push the panic button. Set your frustrations aside and connect with others while you can.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Although your close-up vision isn’t very good today, you might feel as if you can see forever. You look out to the horizon and you are certain that the distance has moved even farther away. But this trick of the light enables you to visualize your future while you manage your current schedule. Set the notion of immediate gratification aside. Once you remove the pressure, you may have an easier time reaching your goals.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your anxiety runs deep now because you know how important it is to stay on track and complete everything you have promised. But the temptation of having a good time looms large today and it may be hard to resist. Fortunately, you can work hard to meet your previous obligations and then still have enough time left over for some serious recreation.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your day may be hijacked by friends who feel the need to share their relationship dramas. Whether it’s a new acquaintance or an old romantic partner, it could appear as if someone is trying to limit your personal freedom. Expressing yourself independently is extremely critical now because of its natural rejuvenating power. You won’t have much left to give others unless you take some time to please yourself.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your work-related tasks seem more tedious today, which could make you feel unusually restless. Your solution might be to shake everything up in order to turn a dull job into a field day for the curious. Don’t be afraid to assume power on the job. Fortunately, you should be able to use your authority effectively to accomplish more at work while in pursuit of your higher purpose.
Daily Horoscopes for Mother’s Day, May 8th
General Daily Horoscope
The tentative Cancer Moon highlights our uncertainty about having too much forward movement in our lives. We may worry about other people’s reactions and could be tempted to slow down or even retreat. However, when we stop to consider someone else’s feelings, five impulsive Aries planets push us ahead again. Still, the Moon’s discordant square to the Aries planetary cluster makes action as uncomfortable as inaction. Middle ground is hard to find.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You mean well, but sometimes others still perceive you as being insensitive. However, today you are so connected to the moods of those around you that you might attempt to fix a difficult situation in order to make everyone feel better. You could appear to be someone’s champion at first, but assuming responsibility for another person’s emotions can lead to dependency issues and power struggles. Be a good friend without taking over.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You can take a good feeling too far now that the Moon squares your key planet Venus and excessive Jupiter. Unfortunately, you probably won’t get away with overdoing anything today because instant karma is lurking just around the corner, ready to make you pay the price for ill-considered behavior. It is wise to acknowledge your limits prior to going over them. Don’t do anything you might later regret.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
It’s been challenging to relax lately, but you will find your groove today, even if it’s a bumpy ride along the way. You are able to better comprehend what works for you, inspiring you to focus on your skills, rather than on your weaknesses. Pay attention so you know when to call it quits. Remember that taking the smartest idea to an extreme can turn the feeling of a job well done into one of dissatisfaction. Observing the emotional weather helps you to know when to stop pushing.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your emotional needs can be quite overwhelming now that the Moon is visiting your sign. Fortunately, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem requesting something that you want. However, you could create trouble if you demand too much. Even if you don’t ask for anything, you may feel frustrated because you want more than you receive. But this isn’t the best time to be overly needy. Instead of being melodramatic, be grateful for the blessings you already have in your life.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your recent creative cycle may be coming to an end, elevating the significance of current events. It’s crucial to complete unfinished projects prior to beginning something new. Exercise caution because you might overlook what’s really happening; being eager for success is not the same as idealizing a new opportunity. You will be best served now by seeing things as they truly are and not as you would like to see them.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you truly want to meet your obligations while still responding to changing dynamics at work, you could grow tired of office politics and decide not to engage in the games any longer. But your emotional withdrawal is a very powerful statement on its own, for nearly everyone understands that you normally analyze all the possible moves before deciding what to do next. Make sure not to burn any bridges today that you might want to cross in the weeks ahead.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You have mixed feelings about a significant relationship now. You are ready to take charge and do whatever is necessary to reach your goals. On the other hand, you are weary of feeling like you’re doing all the work. Either way will probably leave you wishing that you just listened to the other voice. The easy solution, however, is to keep busy in your pursuit of success without expecting too much from others.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It seems as if everyone is telling you something different now and you want to benefit from each and every point of view. However, it’s challenging to find the right balance between relying on your own experience and learning from others. Ironically, you can best see what’s around the corner now by using your intuition, instead of seeking another perspective. Although it’s usually an advantage to have multiple points of view, today your own opinion counts more than anyone else’s.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be extremely enthusiastic about several different projects that are coming to a confluence at the very last minute. But the Moon squares your key planet excessive Jupiter now, luring you into a delicious trap that may appear better than it is. There’s no cause for panic; it’s wiser to act with a well thought-out plan tomorrow than with reckless abandon today.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners can bring a highly emotional person to the forefront of your life today. And this may not be such an easygoing relationship now, for you might feel as if someone’s toying with your heart. Attempting to reach a compromise or even bringing in a mediator can raise the stakes on a developing power struggle. It’s your choice, so take the high road and disengage from all disagreements. Stepping back might be the simplest answer of all.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may feel as if you’re in the midst of intense passions today, tempting you to seek solace in a more intellectual platform, for that is where you naturally excel. Unfortunately, the Sun’s semisquare to your key planet Uranus emotionally charges your actions and quickly pushes you to the edge of discomfort. Indulging your senses appears enticing, but it’s actually a distraction from the real work at hand.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your creative process receives an energetic boost today when the Moon dynamically squares visionary Jupiter, your traditional ruling planet. Your active imagination is temporarily freed from fear and other emotional constraints, so your fantasies can take you nearly anywhere. Don’t dwell on the negatives; dream about all the amazing possibilities, instead.
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for May 6 – 8
by Jeff Jawer
Emotional Lunar Tides
May 6 – 8
Emotions hover close to the surface this weekend with the Moon in the supersensitive sign of Cancer. This is Luna’s home sign, making feelings stronger and ups and downs more likely. Generally, the nurturing Cancer Moon is good for familiar places, home cooking, cuddling, nostalgia, old movies and all those sweet protective things that make us feel safe.
Friday looks mellow until late at night when the cautious Cancer Moon crashes into an explosive 90-degree square with unsettling Uranus. This planet of shocks and surprises doesn’t flow well with tender Cancer, making this a time when flexibility is essential. Sudden changes of plans and moods don’t foster a sense of intimacy, although a wild night or impulsive fling with an inappropriate person can seem compelling to some.
The road doesn’t look any smoother on Saturday, starting with a snarky Moon-Pluto opposition in the morning and continuing on with a tense lunar square to Saturn later in the day. These transits are more about digging into the depths of our emotions, bringing unresolved issues to the surface or burying them with distractions and denial. Yet this can be a productive day for those willing to tackle tough problems. This cosmic atmosphere lends itself more to responsibility than playfulness as even minor concerns could block out the Sun with dark clouds of doubt.
Several stressful lunar transits give us a lot to talk about on Sunday and, if we’re honest about our feelings, barriers to intimacy could be blown away. Making a fresh start within ourselves and with others is a worthy reward for all this hard work.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 3
General Daily Horoscope
We kick off the next emotional cycle with the sensual Taurus New Moon at 2:50 am EDT. However, the New Moon’s magical quintile with nebulous Neptune stimulates our imaginations by enabling us to see our lives from a more cosmic perspective. Plus, sweet Venus forms an anxious semisquare with Neptune, emphasizing our unfulfilled desires. Thankfully, the Taurus Moon allows us to balance visions of the future with the reality of the present moment.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It may appear as if you are at the top of your game today. Actually, you don’t even have to work very hard to amaze others with your finesse as you make your same old routine look like something totally new and different. But too much self-assuredness can lead you into trouble. Sloppy thinking or a hasty miscalculation could tempt you to take an unnecessary risk. Stick to the basics and save the fancy tricks for another day.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The pragmatic Taurus New Moon allows you to accomplish a lot, perhaps surpassing even your own expectations today. It’s great that you’re able to be so productive now, but it’s even more important that no one will be able to talk you out of your current ambitions. Your legendary bull-headed stubbornness enables you to overcome nearly any resistance, so set your goals high and then focus on reaching them.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
The steady Taurus New Moon activates your 12th House of Fantasy now, increasing the tension between what’s real and what’s ideal. Thankfully, the practical Taurus energy gives you enough stability to transform an apparently unattainable dream into something that can actually take form. Don’t withdraw from the realm of unlimited possibilities because what manifests in the future begins in your imagination today.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Today’s sensible Taurus New Moon highlights your 11th House of Groups, making this a fine time to strengthen your social network. Opportunities to build enduring relationships at work and play are likely to come your way; however, it may be up to you to make the first move. Sharing your long-term goals can be a catalyst that shifts the dynamics from a casual acquaintance into a deep friendship. It might feel risky to take the initiative, but an amicable overture to the right person can continue to benefit you well into the future.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Today’s reliable Taurus New Moon falls in your 10th House of Status, making it easier to express yourself on the job. Although you’re able to explain a complicated recipe for success in very simple language, you may worry about your inability to execute your own strategy. Obviously, being an inspiring speaker now isn’t enough. Overcome your fear of failure and lead by example, so that others can more easily follow you.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The pragmatic Taurus New Moon reaffirms what you already know about success. Nevertheless, you may be overwhelmed by a large project unless you break it down into several subprojects and complete them one at a time. Avoid the temptation to make a mad dash to the finish line today, because it’s not as close as you might think. Fortunately, your drive for efficiency will help you shine, as long as you don’t attempt to do everything at once.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Libra is the sign of relationships, but today you crave more than just a pleasant interaction with someone. You need to sink beneath the attractive social veneers now or you could be left feeling unsatisfied. You know there is more to life and you want to experience it. But don’t act too obsessively or you might appear desperate. Intimacy is best when it develops naturally on its own.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The sensible Taurus New Moon activates your 7th House of Partners, influencing you to seek salvation from your complex life through an easygoing relationship. The persistence of Taurus offers the steadiness that you need, even if you are afraid of being limited by its simplicity. Ultimately, the choice is yours; the key to establishing an enduring relationship may hinge on your willingness to give up a little drama and overcome your fear of growing bored.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You have a lot of work to do now, and starting it right away means that you’ll be finished even sooner. Creating consistency is critical since the earthy Taurus New Moon activates your 6th House of Habits. Starting a new job now is easier than ever with so many planets in spontaneous Aries. However, turning your initial excitement into an ongoing discipline is the next step to assuring your success.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may express yourself without a lot of forethought today, but you’ll still need to make a plan if you want to succeed. The Taurus New Moon in your 5th House of Creativity motivates you to take a chance, but you must follow through on what you start or your efforts will have been for naught. Trying something totally new can be a lot of fun; however, it’s crucial to come back to your senses and figure out how to accomplish what you set out to do in the first place.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Five planets moving about in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment suggests that those close to you may be quite supportive of your efforts now. Paradoxically, your lack of flexibility could make it difficult to integrate their good ideas into your overall plan. Don’t assume that your way is the only way; being open to the feedback you receive can make your work much less of a struggle.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The practical Taurus New Moon highlights your 3rd House of Communication, helping to ground the energy around you. Although the hectic pace may have settled down a bit, the noise isn’t completely gone. Nevertheless, it’s time to reflect on all that’s happened over the past month before taking a few deep breaths and moving on.

Basic Overview of the Month to Come, May
May Horoscope 2011
by Jeff Jawer
Feel Your Senses Come Alive
Earthy Taurus is highly activated this month as May begins with the Sun in a sign that awakens us to our senses and the physical delights of our planet. Taste, touch, smell, sight and sound enrich us with comforting experiences to please our bodies. There is, though, more than a dash of stubbornness in Taurus that is likely to reduce flexibility until the solar shift into adaptable Gemini on May 21.
Physical Mars enters the sign of the Bull on May 11 to slow the pace of activity. Yet persistence and patience can make us even more productive. Traditional astrology considers Taurus to be a difficult place for fiery Mars as this fixed earth sign inhibits the adventurousness and ability to take bold action associated with this planet.
On May 15 mental Mercury and loving Venus enter Taurus, adding reason and caution. Venus is the ruler of Taurus, suggesting a greater degree of common sense and values that help us appreciate the gifts we have and to recognize the true worth of people and things.
The New Moon in Taurus on May 2 forms a harmonious 120-degree trine with transformational Pluto, adding power and deeper perceptions that make it easier to eliminate waste and focus on essential details. A conjunction of active Mars and expansive Jupiter in Aries adds a dash of enthusiasm for new experiences that are likely to produce tangible results thanks to Taurean resourcefulness and pragmatism. On May 17 the Full Moon in emotionally complex Scorpio opposes the simple Taurus Sun, forcing relationship and financial issues into the foreground. Scorpionic desires and fears could become dramatic as discontent pushes emotional buttons.
The atmosphere grows lighter with the Sun’s entry into airy Gemini on May 21, quickly followed by a solar square with Neptune on May 22. This strong 90-degree angle with the planet of dreams inspires faith and fantasies. Compassion and creativity are among its gifts but evasions of reality could cause confusion, weaken authority and diffuse focus. Still, a sexy Venus-Mars conjunction in Taurus on May 23 lures us back into our bodies as we enjoy tastes and touches that have a perfect balance of comfort and stimulation.
Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 1
General Daily Horoscope
A burst of positive energy can free us from yesterday’s heaviness, tempting us to go overboard. Feisty Mars conjuncts buoyant Jupiter today, expanding our vision of life, magnifying the importance of current events and giving us a more optimistic outlook for the future. It may be difficult to rein in our enthusiasm, leading us to make promises we cannot keep. The impetuous Aries Moon joins Mars and Jupiter to further encourage the good times.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Sometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing. The exuberant Moon-Mars-Jupiter conjunction happening now in your fiery sign may be enough to blast you into orbit, but you’ll need to pay extra careful attention to managing your energy reserves. It’s challenging for you to think about tomorrow when there are six planets in Aries today. Anything you can do to soothe your soul or settle your wild ideas will help to make this a more memorable time.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be all worked up over a new idea today, but won’t necessarily put too much effort into making your vision come true. It’s not that you’re particularly lazy now; it’s just that your common sense could overrule your excitement. Remember, your plan deserves enough time to develop before prematurely rushing into action, especially if it’s as brilliant as you think it is.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
This continues to be a socially oriented weekend, but you may actually reach a point where you exhaust yourself just by having fun. Knowing when you’ve had enough is a sign of maturity, but setting limits can sometimes be a challenge. Overcome your fear of missing out on something special; call it quits and take some time to relax so you’ll feel rejuvenated and refreshed going into the week ahead.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Although this may be a day away from work, your mind is likely focused on your status in the professional world. This might even involve making plans to accomplish your ambitious career goals. Your optimistic outlook creates an immediate impact on activities with friends or family members today. If you have earned the respect of those you love, enjoy basking in their appreciation. But don’t waste time hesitating now; it’s your turn to take charge.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You can burn off excess energy today by doing something physical such as going on a long hike or working in the yard. But it’s also important to engage your mind by learning something new. You may be satisfied by having a discussion with a friend about an entirely unique course of study, perhaps involving religion, metaphysics or politics. Whatever you choose to do now, reach out beyond your comfort zone because going the distance will be far more rewarding than staying on familiar ground.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your interest in getting to the bottom of a mystery could be a bit over the top today. You want answers and you are prepared to ask whatever questions are necessary to find the missing information. However, your obsessive curiosity might seem confrontational, even if that’s not your intention. You’ll make more progress if you don’t push so hard. Be as transparent as possible so your actions are not misunderstood.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A close friend or family member may be so optimistic today that you think he or she has gone overboard. At first it’s fun being around people who are upbeat and interested in doing something out of the ordinary. But, eventually you realize that you might be the one who needs to issue a reality check. However, don’t try to change others by raining on their parade. All you have to do is be clear about the limits of your participation.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This is a perfect day to begin a spring cleaning project with energetic Mars joining visionary Jupiter in your 6th House of Details. You have a clear sense of what you want to accomplish now and you have the stamina to get things done. However, you must take a big job and break it down into smaller manageable tasks in order to be efficient. Just make sure that you don’t bite off more than you can chew or you’ll be tired at the end of the day with little to show for your hard work.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Blowing up balloons can be fun if you know when to stop; otherwise they pop, leaving you with nothing. Likewise, when red-hot Mars fires up buoyant Jupiter today, you could get into trouble by taking a good idea and turning it into such a big deal that it eventually fizzles. Fun-filled activities can put a wonderful smile on your face now as long as you remember to moderate your natural inclination for bigger, better and more.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
As much as you may enjoy a day off to spend at home with your family, too much domestic activity might have you thinking about ways to escape. It’s not that you want to be somewhere else; it’s just that you won’t likely want to give up an entire day without having something tangible to show for it. Try involving others in some sort of home improvement project. If they seem more interested in having fun, join in the festivities for a while and then excuse yourself so you can accomplish something on your own.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are buzzing around today like a busy bee, flying from one flower to the next in a field filled with exciting distractions. There are so many possibilities you might feel a bit lost because you don’t know where to start or what to do next. However, you would be better off to save your rational thinking for another day; now it’s better to just jump in and have fun. Act first and analyze later.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, April 30
General Daily Horoscope
This is an intense weekend with five planets and the Moon in excitable Aries. But attractive Venus opposes repressive Saturn today, limiting our pleasure intake. We want instant satisfaction, yet Saturn delays gratification. Nevertheless, the Moon’s contact with the Venus-Saturn opposition tempts us to over-personalize our experiences. Thankfully, the restraint will be short-lived as we approach a confident Mars-Jupiter conjunction later tonight.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may be getting tired of the same old story. You’re hot to trot today, but you must wait for one reason or another. But instead of getting yourself all worked up because you cannot have what you want now, try taking a more mature approach and acknowledge that you may have something important to learn. Others love your fiery approach to life, but they will respect you more if you can also be patient when it’s appropriate.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You might not allow yourself to have a good time now, especially if you believe that others will judge you harshly if you don’t deliver on your promises. Unfortunately, stern Saturn’s tense opposition to your key planet Venus turns you into your own taskmaster. There’s nothing wrong with catching up on chores; just don’t harbor resentment toward those who choose play over work today. Don’t worry; your chance for fun will be waiting for you later on.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are ready to lose yourself in a crowd today, whether at a party, a sporting event or the mall. It’s your way of temporarily forgetting about all your responsibilities, but this strategy won’t work no matter how invisible you feel or how fast you run. Fortunately, you can still enjoy yourself in a social setting as long as you don’t have escape on your mind. Make the most of your time with others and then return to the chores you set aside earlier.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You are uncharacteristically motivated to take bold action because you want to demonstrate a more dynamic side of your personality today. But you could try too hard and end up feeling rather foolish if you think you have to do something out of the ordinary just to be accepted by your friends and family. Instead of playing all your cards out in the open, do what comes naturally. It might be wiser now to assume the role of the strong and silent supporter rather than taking center stage.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You want to have a little excitement in your life today and you’re ready to lead the charge on an adventure with your friends. Unfortunately, they may not be as enthusiastic as you are now. Instead of trying to get others to support your idea of fun, leave them to their more sedate ways and go off by yourself. When you’re done with your excursion, you can return refreshed and rejoin those you left behind.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You’re not interested in your typical analytical approach to relationships now; you are intrigued by juicier rewards that lure you out of your comfort zone. You feel more emotionally assertive than usual and might even frighten someone close to you because of your heightened sense of urgency. Paying attention to how others react and having the courtesy to give them the space they need today can bring the results you seek.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
As a Libra, you’re often more interested in maintaining harmony in a relationship than in always getting your way. The moody Moon joins your key planet Venus in your 7th House of Partnerships today, reemphasizing what others want. Although you are normally comfortable with taking care of someone else’s needs, you’ve had enough of being taking for granted. Stand up for yourself now by putting your foot down to set limits. However, don’t be surprised if it takes longer than you prefer to be taken seriously.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are able to tell someone what you want today in no uncertain terms. You’re also able to do it in a manner of clarity that doesn’t blame anyone else for your dissatisfaction. In fact you seem somewhat detached from your needs even as you express them. However, you could be holding onto unexpressed anger, possibly on an unconscious level. Don’t bury your feelings; if something is bothering you, get it off your chest or it could return later in the form of a projection.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may not be willing to modify your plans today in order to be included by your family or friends. You would rather separate yourself from others and keep your sense of integrity, even if it means doing something on your own. Thankfully, you won’t likely feel left out because you could be too busy riding your own wave of creative expression. Nevertheless, you’ll probably feel happy to be back in the fold tomorrow.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are quite aware of how you must suppress certain desires today in order to accomplish very specific goals. You want to have as much fun as the next person, but you’re also able to put personal pleasure into a wider perspective. Still, you can’t help but contemplate the emotional cost of success now. Everything has its price; just don’t sell yourself short.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may have set goals that you now realize you cannot quite reach. Or, perhaps, an obstacle prevents you from doing as much as you wanted to do on a project. But instead of feeling defeat or discouragement, you might have a sense of relief as you reconstruct your day now that you have more time to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, today’s dark storm cloud has a silver lining.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may be tempted to make an impulse purchase today, but this could be a setup for buyer’s remorse. Perhaps the item in question costs more than you originally thought. Or, maybe, you worry that it’s not a good investment because it’s something you don’t really need. Take your time and logically analyze the pros and cons of spending your money. If after rational consideration the expenditure still makes sense, then go ahead because it’s probably a smart acquisition.
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for April 29 – May 1
by Jeff Jawer
Take a Walk on the Wild SideApril 29 – 1 |
Expect a wild ride this weekend with the Moon entering rambunctious Aries on Friday morning. We tend to be more impulsive with this lunar placement, easily growing bored with preset plans and primed to leap at interesting new people and experiences. Aries is also a sign of independence, placing personal interests at a higher priority than pleasing people. This could lead to some conflict for those too absorbed in their own desires to slow down and consider what others need.
The spontaneity of Aries spikes on Friday when the Moon conjuncts electrifying Uranus. The downside of this aspect is a feeling of restless anxiety or a sense of alienation. However, creative individuals can use this cosmic connection as a chance to break old patterns and discover new ways of having fun.
Saturday’s defining planetary feature is a tense opposition between Venus, the planet of love and desire, and Saturn, the representative of limits and obligations. This sobering alignment can slam the brakes on a budding romance or take some of the enthusiasm out of an ongoing relationship. We may feel less loved or appreciated, yet the point is not to puncture the potential for love but to put it on a realistic foundation. Directly addressing partnership issues with frank conversations may not be delightful, but can set a weakening alliance back on course or end one that’s not going to meet our long-term desires.
Aggressive Mars’ conjunction with gigantic Jupiter fuels flames of anger or passion on Saturday night and Sunday, presenting a striking contrast between playing it safe and going for broke.
Daily Horoscopes for Friday, April 29
General Daily Horoscope
The psychic Pisces Moon reminds us that fantasy can seem real — and sometimes it actually is. It’s especially difficult to separate fact from fiction today as expansive Jupiter forms a complicated septile to dreamy Neptune. However, we are shocked awake by the Moon’s shift into spontaneous Aries at 1:33 pm EDT, followed by a Moon-Uranus conjunction at 6:58 pm. We may be temporarily thrown off balance as we respond to the suddenness of change.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Today is one of those days when you might not even realize that you’ve slipped into the Twilight Zone. If you pay close attention to everything happening now, you might notice that things are bent slightly out of shape. Slipping into this parallel world isn’t the problem, but mixing it up with the real one can prove troublesome. Rely on your friends to help you distinguish your illusions from reality.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You are quick-witted enough to outsmart yourself today. There is so much activity going on within your unconscious mind that you might forget what just occurred only a few minutes ago. Naturally, this can create a very embarrassing situation unless you consciously decide to stay on top of it all. Don’t be afraid to trust your snap judgment. Thankfully, your intuition won’t lead you astray now.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may share a feeling today that provokes a strong and clear response. But rather than receiving a round of all-too-familiar criticism, you might actually get an unexpected boost of support from someone who isn’t usually your closest ally. Be careful, for you might be reading the situation incorrectly. And even if you’re positive about the accuracy of your perceptions, keep in mind that everyone’s feelings are prone to change now.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may be daydreaming of taking a quick trip to a faraway destination, however, there’s this little problem of transportation. You might prefer the idea of near instantaneous travel because you want to get to your exotic destination immediately and still be home in time for a comfortable dinner. Unfortunately, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment unless you can be satisfied by traveling in the fantasy realms instead of actually going anywhere for real.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You have a practical agenda today, yet you might choose to set it aside if there is an opportunity to do something more exciting than taking care of business. Don’t be too concerned about other people’s expectations; you need to follow your own heart. Rather than wasting energy trying to justify your actions, attend to your responsibilities first, so whatever you do next is beyond criticism.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may be rethinking upcoming travel plans that you thought were already set. Or, perhaps, you’re juggling your responsibilities so you can fit everything into your schedule. But it’s tricky now because you cannot do this work alone. You’ll improve your chances for success if your co-worker or partner supports you, so include him or her in your scheming. Remember that nothing is etched in stone yet. Today’s decisions could change as soon as tomorrow.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You have many small tasks to finish and it’s wise to complete as much as possible prior to the Moon leaving your 6th House of Routine. It becomes more complicated to return to chores left undone once your attention moves on to something else. Also, it’s quite likely that someone will distract you later in the day and your schedule will be unexpectedly hijacked; don’t put off anything important unless it’s beyond your control.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may welcome an exciting diversion to your daily routine today, but your responsibilities could suffer in the process. Surprisingly, you’ll probably say yes to an invitation that comes your way, even if you don’t think that you can take the time to play. Naturally, meeting your obligations remains a high priority, but your overall quality of work won’t be as good if you don’t also give yourself the chance to relax.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You might experience unexpected tension because of the responsibilities that now fall on your shoulders. However, you are still ready to go out and have some fun, no matter what the consequences are. Your productivity will likely slack off today, but you should be able to make up for it tomorrow. At least, show some creativity by mixing up boring chores with new activities that are more exciting.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You probably won’t be able to stick to your plans today, and accepting this fact upfront could alleviate a lot of unnecessary stress. Your moods are swinging all over the map, making you less likely to follow through on your original agenda. Rather than suppressing your feelings, remain open to them. Maintaining objectivity now could be exhausting and unproductive. You will feel much better once you give yourself permission to temporarily relinquish control.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may receive an unexpected message today from someone who is very close to you. Paradoxically, what you are told could be contrary to what you thought you were going to hear. This new information could complicate your day, but you’ll only make matters worse if you try to block it out. You can’t avoid the negative consequences by pretending there isn’t a problem. Be smart and face any issue that surfaces now before it spins out of control.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may feel unsettled today because you know something is about to change. Your feelings are quite volatile now and you don’t know where they are leading you. Unfortunately, your attempts to suppress your needs could provoke you to unconsciously act out. Trying to control the situation by limiting your interactions with others will only make you feel lonely. Remember that you are a Fish and should know that it’s easier to swim with the currents instead of resisting the tide.
Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, April 26
General Daily Horoscope
The progressive Aquarius Moon picks up on supportive aspects to planets in excitable Aries, shifting us from contemplation into action. In particular, cooperative sextiles with impetuous Mars and opinionated Jupiter indicate that our perceptions are keen and we may form conclusions quickly. But the Moon also forms harsher aspects to sensual Venus and passionate Pluto, pushing deep feelings up to the surface and setting up power struggles in love.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It feels as if you’re on the edge of an emotional cliff and you may be considering whether or not to jump. You intuitively know that you will be safe as you float toward the ground, and the anticipation is exciting. Yet the mysterious tug into the abyss can also be scary. You might not be as comfortable in the feeling realm, especially if you’re not in control. Nevertheless, your experience can be meaningful and memorable if you’re willing to take a risk.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The analytical Aquarius Moon stimulates intense Pluto and your key planet Venus today, plunging you into an emotional drama. Thankfully, this can open up your heart in a very profound way. However, problems in love arise if you believe you’ll be able to always stick to your agenda. It helps to acknowledge that you don’t have all the answers because being flexible isn’t easy for you. Forget about being right; it’s better now to ride the waves of your feelings, instead.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are tempted to dance your way around a very delicate topic of discussion today. However, you can inadvertently bring up unnecessary pain for someone you love if you cannot face the underlying emotional conflict in a mature manner. Forget about the clever comebacks and witty responses. Making light of your feelings detracts from your real work now. Overcome your fear and accept the responsibility to explore real solutions rather than superficial ones.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You don’t want to create an emotional conflict today, but you realize that stepping into unfamiliar territory now can lead to a worthwhile reward. You might need a bit of help from a friend or lover to assist you through your resistance, but your fears should dissipate once the conversation gets underway. Remember, there isn’t a right way to respond as long as you’re true to your heart.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Allow your hopes and dreams to inspire you to swim against the tide today because this can bring you closer to your passions. This isn’t an easy day; you may have to stir up some difficult issues so you truly feel alive. Just remember that you can express yourself without making anyone else wrong. You can effectively bring a conversation back to your perspective while acknowledging that others don’t need to agree with your point of view.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s helpful to remain as neutral as possible today if someone else tries to engage you in a struggle for control. However, this will be increasingly difficult to do throughout the day, especially if you feel threatened. Even if you do not want to escalate a conflict, your detachment can only last so long. You shouldn’t have to suppress your feelings if you are clear about your message. Taking a few deep breaths will help prevent you from saying something that you regret later on.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your friend or workmate may put you in an uncomfortable position today, asking you to reveal something you intended to keep private. The stakes can be too high to play games now; your best strategy is to express your feelings rather than pretending that everything is okay. Ultimately, a difficult conversation can clear the air of unspoken tensions and pave a path toward a more meaningful relationship.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your ruling planet Pluto is tensely aspected by the Moon today and sensual Venus later tonight, driving you to test the boundaries of love and to seek the intensity that may be absent from your life. But your fierce passion could have the exact opposite effect on someone else. If others believe that you are being too forceful, they might withdraw, enticing you to apply additional pressure. Although you don’t have to hide your feelings, it would be smart to soften your approach.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are attracted to the unknowable mysteries that are stirred by love today. But your fears tempt you to retreat when you get close to emotions you cannot control. This is a bit of a paradox because you won’t be able to experience the magic if you’re not willing to delve into the shadows. Don’t pretend that you are in charge when you’re not. Expressing your vulnerability can open a doorway to intimacy now that was previously hidden from view.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Passionate Pluto’s long-term visit to your sign is stimulated today by the Moon and Venus, the planet of love. It’s not a simple task to explore your sensual desires because they may take you further than you want to go. However, the rules won’t make you feel safe now, for it’s apparent that there are no absolute limits. Thankfully, your uncharacteristic willingness to delve into the uncertainty of your feelings can bring you closer to happiness.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Memories that you believed were safely hidden away may now explode into your consciousness, shattering your illusion of emotional detachment. Needless to say, this is disconcerting, for you are more comfortable when your rational thoughts are in charge. It’s no use trying to put everything back as it was. Instead, be responsive to whatever happens today by openly expressing what’s in your heart. You can always reclaim your cool intellectual demeanor tomorrow.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You want an emotional connection now that has real meaning, but the intensity of the moment may be even more than you can imagine. Although you’re eager to explore unfamiliar territory in search of love, you prefer that things were simpler. Nevertheless, taking a risk with someone you trust and sharing your feelings requires courage. However, the cost is worth it, for you just might discover a precious gem that can help heal your heart.
