Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for May 20 – 22

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Get It All Out in the Open

May 20 – 22

Friday is unusually stressful because the Moon is in orderly Capricorn, which often adds a note of seriousness, while other planetary patterns are burning with intensity. Verbal Mercury hooks up in a conjunction with assertive Mars, heating up conversations and encouraging reckless behavior. Bold words can trigger new connections, inspire interest or provoke irritable responses. Fortunately, potent Pluto’s harmonious 120-degree trines to Mercury and Mars add depth, meaning and sensitivity that enable us to discuss difficult matters with delicacy and make powerful points with tact.

Loving Venus’ trine with Pluto on Saturday is also favorable to connecting at very deep places, enabling mature assessment of desires and relationships. However, there is a countering cooling trend that tends to put ideas ahead of emotions. The Sun enters breezy Gemini in the morning, which is great for chatting and flirting, but runs contrary to the hunger for more meaningful encounters symbolized by Venus trine Pluto. The Moon enters airy Aquarius at night, giving us another push toward intellectualism and objectivity and away from emotional attachments.

The experimental Aquarius Moon makes tricky 90-degree squares with Venus, Mars and Mercury in traditional Taurus on Sunday. These transits could signify a clash of values between those willing to take risks by following unfamiliar paths and those who want to play it safe by sticking with the status quo. On the positive side, however, this can provoke a re-evaluation of needs and expectations that clarifies issues. Differences might not be resolved but at least they’re finally out in the open, clearing the air so that common ground can eventually be found.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 20th

Today’s cautious Capricorn Moon acts as a practical filter as we look at what’s happening in our lives. We’re not likely to waste time following unrealistic ideas because there is simply too much work on our plates. Communicative Mercury and assertive Mars hook up to harmoniously trine incisive Pluto, strengthening our convictions. This is a day of extreme behavior as Pluto requires us to respond with deep passion no matter what we choose to do.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

People at work probably won’t mess with you today because they can tell that you’re not in a playful mood. They may even be afraid that you might strike back with vengeance to make your point of view very clear. However, you aren’t necessarily interested in expending energy just to explain your position to everyone. You can define the rules of the game now, so simply state your boundaries and then move on.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re like a Bull on a rampage today as you gain momentum and strive to reach your goals. You may not have any superpowers, but your determination can be so strong and your energy so raw that most obstacles will simply dissipate as you reach them. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to be overconfident, for there is plenty of work yet to be done. Now is the best time to get busy.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be the one in charge today, but others expect a lot from you anyway. You may feel frustrated if you’re held accountable for a situation that’s beyond your control. Nevertheless, it’s still a good idea to do the very best job you can. In the meantime, acknowledge your limits so you can reserve some energy for other tasks that might prove to be more rewarding.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Even if you are struggling to overcome other people’s resistance to your ideas now, it makes sense to have a positive attitude when a powerful friend or ally comes to your rescue. Unfortunately, you may be tempted to misplace your fears onto someone who is actually on your side. It could take a conscious effort, but you don’t have to automatically project your doubt. Be smart and graciously accept the help that’s being offered today.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you have been waiting for the right moment to start off on a new career path, it’s now time to get to work. Your past efforts may have been directed toward planning, meditating or repeating affirmations. However, today is about planting your feet firmly on the ground, facing your destination and taking one step after another. Your chances for success are better than ever if you have a realistic goal in mind.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You know what you want today, yet you understand that there’s more to life than your immediate needs. You are also concerned with your larger dreams that may still be somewhat unformed. Naturally, you excel at making plans and then focusing on achieving each goal one at a time. However, it’s also wise to stay loose now, so you can take advantage of an interesting opportunity that may come along. Your best strategy is to plan ahead while allowing room to react spontaneously.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may need to overcome a lack of self-confidence today so you can build on the foundation that you already created. Lean on the structures that are in place without thinking that you must start anew. Fortunately, someone may offer you an opportunity that doesn’t necessarily pull you off track, but expands upon your work. Nevertheless, don’t get distracted by possibilities that are not directly connected to your dreams. Consider all the pros and cons carefully before making your final decision.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A harmonious trine between your two key planets, fiery Mars and formidable Pluto, means that you have the powerful force of your convictions driving you forward today. However, interacting with others presents many intriguing options. Unfortunately, too many choices can scatter your energy while concentration assures your success. Don’t spend time lost in analysis; get out of your head and just follow your instincts. The direction you pick is less important than what you do along the way.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are motivated by practical concerns today, which should enable you to accomplish a lot at work. If things are progressing smoothly, then don’t let up on the pressure; make the most of the positive situation while it lasts. However, if obstacles keep cropping up, you would be wise to consider your role in creating the problems. Work cooperatively with any adversaries now, instead of against them.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are at the top of your creative game today because your emotions are directly in line with your intentions. Whatever you want to do feels within reach, empowering you to give voice to an idea and then put your thoughts into action without too much resistance. Remember, there’s no hurry; you’ll do better if you start off slowly, increasing your momentum as you go.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You can be very loyal to people from your past, including old friends and family. Your personal commitment often includes defending and protecting those who are less fortunate. You might feel driven to help anyone in need, and your emotions are so passionate now that even an acquaintance at work can receive an extra boost of energy from you today. Don’t hold back; your actions create more of a positive impact than you realize.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There is little time to waste today because you have important work to do. Not only can you make progress toward your own goals, but your actions may also influence others in a positive manner. When your friends and associates see what you are doing, they might become inspired by your success and seek to duplicate it. Trusting your instincts by listening to your heart is a good start, but you must follow through by initiating constructive action.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 19

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Optimism rules the first part of the day with the Moon in uplifting Sagittarius harmoniously trine buoyant Jupiter. But we grow tired of falling short of our expectations when the Moon enters earthy Capricorn at 4:15 pm EDT. Unfortunately, it’s still challenging to settle down because the Moon’s square to electric Uranus keeps the energy crackling. The stakes are high and we play to win as the ambitious Capricorn Moon moves toward potent Pluto.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t thrilled with your heavy workload, but you’re resigned with what you must do today. You need to confront your temptation to procrastinate; distracting yourself from your obligations is fruitless. If you make up your mind to focus your intentions with all your might, you should be able to rein in your scattered energy, harness your unrealized power and have a productive day in spite of yourself.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It seems like a fantastic day to complete a project, but things might not go according to your plan if you aren’t persistent. There is a lot of mental interference today and it could be tempting to set your agenda aside and follow a whim. Thankfully, your common sense should ultimately override your need to escape. You can turn a dream into reality now if you pick one track and follow your chosen course with determination.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone may look at you with total bewilderment today, amazed that you can appear so busy while getting so little done. Ironically, you might feel as if you’re doing everything just right, without noticing how much energy you’re actually wasting. However, you can turn fortune in your favor by consciously slowing down. Deliberating on your ideas and thinking through the consequences of your actions will certainly be more effective now than simply flying by the seat of your pants.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you sometimes tend to be very cautious, it may be refreshing today to just act on your feelings without going through endless analysis. Normally, you are more successful when you contemplate your next move before you do anything. But making every decision as if you’re playing a game of chess takes all the excitement out of your life. Instead, give yourself permission to react from your gut; getting things out into the open will make you feel much better.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a lot on your plate today, especially if you end up wasting too much time this morning. But your responsibilities will be more demanding and your schedule less forgiving as the afternoon unfolds. Nevertheless, avoid getting so caught up in your own agenda that you won’t be able to see what’s right in front of you. Remaining flexible enables you to respond positively to something quite unexpected.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your energy reserves grow deeper throughout the day, raising your confidence about a current creative project. Unfortunately, it isn’t sufficient to be productive today; you also want to enjoy yourself while you work now. However, don’t use your personal desires as a reason to sabotage your efforts if you’re not having a good time. Stay on track and demonstrate your competence; your satisfaction of a job well done will be enough of a reason to celebrate.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

No matter how grounded you try to be today, you’ll still be able to see beyond your normal boundaries, enabling you to gain a whole new perspective about your life. You can suddenly recognize how your current efforts mesh with your plans for the future in a way you hadn’t yet grasped, especially if you were only interested in completing your job. Don’t worry; you will do your best work in the long run by finishing what you can on your own timetable, not someone else’s.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may become so worked up over doing something perfectly that it is difficult to concentrate now. Even if you are tired because you have been working late into the night, take stock of what you have already accomplished and let others know what you have left to do. Don’t waste energy on self-judgment; just get some rest today and tomorrow you will feel refreshed and ready for anything.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you have been pushing yourself too hard lately, it’s time to exercise a bit of caution now. You may still be tempted to take on too much or promise more than you can deliver, but the calculating Capricorn Moon helps you plan your schedule with efficiency in mind. Your key to success now is pretty simple: make your energy last longer by doing less. Once you start creating boundaries, you’ll finally have time to finish what you have already started.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s monthly return to your sign today empowers you to express your emotional side. However, your friends may be surprised and dismayed with your uncharacteristic intensity. They might withdraw from the conversation, but they won’t openly disagree, even if they think that you are wrong. Do yourself a big favor and tone down your fervor. Being passionately engaged with a meaningful cause is one thing, but trying to persuade others won’t help you reach your goals.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be pulled into a complex melodrama now and there isn’t an easy way to avoid it. You may sink into your emotions over the next few days and, like quicksand, the more you struggle to get out, the deeper it gets. Don’t panic; your smartest strategy is to stop resisting. Listen to what others have to say and don’t just push them away. Your gift is to be a sounding board for those who need it most.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be obsessed today with one particular idea that you have about your future. Or, you could grow afraid of being stuck on your current path, especially if you don’t like where it’s heading. In both situations your attachment or avoidance intensifies the situation and makes it more difficult to navigate through the circumstances. Loosening your mental grip allows you to have more options and regain a healthier perspective.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, May 18

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s philosophical Sagittarius Moon widens our horizons and expands our visions beyond the normal boundaries. Fully opening our eyes allows us to see the world from a new perspective. However, we are tempted to resist inspirational ideas now as the Moon forms discomforting sesquisquares with Venus, Mercury and Mars in pragmatic Taurus. Fortunately, it’s possible to feel enthusiastic about the possibilities without needing to act on any them.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your impatience could get the best of you today. Even if you have important responsibilities to fulfill, you still might try to sidestep them so you have time for more pleasurable activities, too. Although you could feel invincible now, you probably won’t be able to escape unnoticed. Don’t be surprised if you are held accountable for any inconsiderate actions. As is often the case for you, thinking about the consequences before leaping into action is the smartest strategy.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s not productive to spend too much time questioning your values today, even if someone’s behavior makes you wonder about your own priorities. Nevertheless, your desires may not be as altruistic as someone else’s now. Keep in mind that everyone is different and comparing yourself to anyone else is a pointless exercise. What’s most important is simply being true to yourself.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners, indicating that others may encourage you to take on more than you want to handle. Fortunately, you can be revitalized by what you accomplish if you agree to participate in someone’s project. But you might already be busy today, and turning down an invitation could place you in an awkward position. Nevertheless, it’s better to be honest now than sorry later.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be rather surprised with your current willingness to get involved in someone’s plan now, especially if you need to relinquish control. It might even be a relief to be a passenger without having to also play the role of a back seat driver. It doesn’t matter what kind of activities you have on your calendar; the thought of doing something different today brings a smile to your face.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The upbeat Sagittarius Moon is traveling through your playful 5th house now, giving you the green light to kick up your heels and have fun. No matter how busy you are, make a little time today just for yourself. Get outside for a walk, schedule a massage, or do something creative that helps you to unwind. Take care of yourself and recharge your batteries. Today, it’s truly all about you.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Usually others rely on you to think critically and analyze the situation. But you may not be very logical now because you’re seeing the world through a very optimistic lens. Fortunately, your life could be in really good shape, but you still might be happier if you delay an important decision and simply enjoy yourself today. The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Family suggests that you should take time to relax at home instead of making your imprint on the world. Even if there’s plenty of work to do, grab the chance to play for a while, instead.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your idea of making it through the day might not include keeping so busy that you cannot find a moment to relax. Unfortunately, you may not have time to slow down and enjoy yourself. Thankfully, your willingness to be flexible can be your secret weapon, allowing you to have fun while maintaining your hectic schedule. You can always do what you wish on another day.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be lost in your current exploration of grandiose ideas about what you want to accomplish now, but you won’t make much progress if you try to do too much. Your energy level is high, enabling you to respond to others quickly, but you can easily burn through your reserves faster than you expect. You might think that you’re like the Energizer Bunny, but it’s smarter to react slowly and steadily like the tortoise if you want to finish the race.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You cannot contain your excitement now that the Moon is back in your enthusiastic sign. You are already aware that you are dealing with some challenging issues, and this increases your desire to have some fun now, while you can. Don’t waste energy feeling guilty about being spontaneous and avoiding your responsibilities. If you’re not gone for too long, you can slip back and finish your chores before anyone realizes that you stepped away.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Playing down your confidence is one way of sneaking in below the radar today. If your co-workers are aware of your positive energy, they will likely expect even more from you. However, if they can’t see the glint in your eye, you could get away with some mischievous behavior. Your strategy may be sound, but your plan can backfire. You’ll have a better shot at having fun now by letting the good times roll instead of holding yourself back.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends are the source of inspiration today as they include you in their adventurous plans. Unfortunately, things get complicated when there are overlapping events because you can’t do two things simultaneously. Make choices early in the day to lessen the stress that will arise if you try to juggle too many activities. For now, less is still better than more.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 10th House of Public Responsibility can temporarily turn you into a mother hen as you realize how much others need your help. But you would be wise to carefully examine your motives, even if you think that your intentions are honorable. Your need to save another lost soul and cure the sick is admirable if you are driven by true compassion. But your assistance might not be as helpful as you think if you’re trying to prove to others how much you care.

Today’s Tarot Card for May 17 is The Sun

Today’s Tarot Card for Everyone:


The Sun



 


This Tarot Deck: Spiral


General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Sun card is about the self — who you are and how you cultivate your personality and character. The earth revolves around the sun to make up one year of a person’s life, a fact we celebrate on our birthday.

The Sun card could also be titled “Back to Eden.” The Sun’s radiance is where one’s original nature or unconditioned Being can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from the chaos outside the garden walls.

Under the light of the Sun, Life reclaims its primordial goodness, truth and beauty. If one person is shown on this card, it is usually signifying a human incarnation of the Divine. When two humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between opposites at all levels. It’s as if this card is saying “You can do no wrong — it’s all to the good!”

New Moon Report for May 17th – Full Moon in Scorpio

Full Moon in Scorpio

Tuesday, May 17, 4:08 am PDT, 7:08 am EDT

The hungry Scorpio Moon faces off with the contented Sun in Taurus, causing us to reconsider our goals and the effort required to fulfill them. The psychological depth of this lunar placement tunes us in to the deepest levels of our feelings. This connection is very helpful for those willing to explore an emotional underground where unconscious fears and desires are often buried. Awareness of what we’re missing can either motivate us to invest more to fulfill our needs or lead some to give up in despair. This Full Moon presents a stark contrast between safety and danger, pacification and passion, illuminating the underlying values that drive much of our behavior.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, May 16th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The passionate Scorpio Moon intensifies our emotions today. Although five planets in fixed signs decrease our level of flexibility, Mercury and Venus join forces in sensual Taurus to soften the energy. Dreamy Neptune sextiles clever Mercury and friendly Venus, preventing us from becoming overly stubborn. Nevertheless, assertive Mars and the brilliant Sun are both in determined Taurus, indicating that we can hold our ground when necessary.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t care about logic today; if you want to do something, no one will be able to talk you out of your plan. You might even be willing to conveniently forget about your obligations, although you’ll probably create trouble for yourself by your irresponsible behavior. Using your common sense can save the day. Take a moment and think about the consequences before impulsively running off to pursue pleasure. You will have a better time if you fulfill your responsibilities first.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You get off to a slow start this morning, so it may be tough to motivate yourself. You have no problem visualizing the amazing things you could be doing, but your dreams won’t become real on their own. You may have to set aside concerns of comfort and be willing to work extra hard today. Although you are being asked to stretch yourself now, you will feel a great deal of satisfaction if you have something positive to show for your efforts by the end of the day.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need for peace and quiet may tempt you to withdraw from unnecessary social interactions today, even if your friends want you to join them for some fun. You’re not willing to just go along for the ride now, especially if it appears that the excitement will outweigh the serenity. You have enough work to do so you aren’t interested in wasting your energy when it could be applied toward more useful endeavors. Take care of important business and save your playtime for the weekend.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult to speak your mind without having a plan today. You would prefer to figure out what you’re going to say before sharing your thoughts with your friends or associates. However, you may be able to explore your alternatives out loud if you feel very comfortable with the others in your group. Ideally, your best bet will be to test a couple of your options on a friendly audience, if given the chance.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your co-worker or friend may be exaggerating today, but you will most likely take what you hear at face value. Your natural generosity of spirit enables you to give others the benefit of the doubt. Trusting someone else might initiate an emotional connection that adds value to your life. Although you must be ready to jump in with the right person when an opportunity is presented, make sure that you feel comfortable with the situation before you leap.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can become quite obsessed with making plans for an upcoming adventure, but your innate powers of discrimination may fall to the wayside as you try to finalize your strategy. You might skim over the details and miss something important while you justify what you want now with opinions rather than facts. But you won’t find satisfaction if you race toward the wrong destination. Slow down and reconsider your assumptions. Rethinking your current approach can save you from running into obstacles down the road.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is visiting dreamland today as she sextiles imaginative Neptune, making this a fairytale day that brings you love. Unfortunately, an idyllic fantasy might not last as long as you wish. Although there may be opportunities for romance, the mysterious Scorpio Moon increases your need to go deep. Happiness depends upon finding a balance between lighthearted pleasures and passionate explorations. You don’t have to miss out on the fun, yet entertaining unrealistic hopes could lead to disappointment.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your current notion of personal satisfaction doesn’t require approval from someone else. Enjoying yourself now is more about your internal state than what anyone else thinks. Retreating into your own world as the Moon moves through your introspective sign can be quite productive. But you must also remain vigilant, for you are tempted to just relax and take it easy. Living in the moment has its upside, but you can be very self-judgmental if you don’t finish your work.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Some people mistakenly think that you Mountain Goats don’t know how to enjoy yourself. Today is a day when you can happily prove them wrong. There are four planets now dancing in your 5th House of Spontaneous Pleasure, enabling you to emotionally detach yourself from unfulfilled responsibilities.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may be floating on a Neptunian cloud today, it’s still a challenge to let go of someone else’s expectations, especially if others are depending on you. But you don’t have to succumb to their pressures and deadlines. You can obtain great benefit from setting your regular workday aside for a while.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel bogged down in your everyday routines, leading you to spend more time dreaming of a different life. But breaking free from old habits might be tougher than it appears.

Instead of trying to change your situation, consciously alter your attitude first. This may be sufficient to shift your experience out of a rut and gradually into a different direction.

New Moon Report for May 15th – Mercury in Taurus

Mercury in Taurus

Sunday, May 15, 4:19 pm PDT, 7:19 pm EDT

Brainy Mercury in pragmatic Taurus prefers facts to fantasies. Steady thinking and realistic ideas provide a solid foundation for honest communication. Minds will dig in and resist pressure to examine alternative points of view, open to new ideas or tackle complex subjects. Sweet and subtle ways of addressing opposition are likely to prove much more effective than direct attacks that will spur even stronger defenses.

Daily Horoscopes for May 14th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The Moon’s visit to equalizing Libra tends to balance our energy and bring us back toward center. Since these are times of social, political and personal extremes, this harmonizing Moon phase can be a welcome relief. However, her conjunction with sobering Saturn today feels like cold water that wakes us up from a pleasant but illusory dream. Nevertheless, we would be wise to learn from Saturn rather than trying to avoid his current reality check.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

As much as you want to be practical today, it’s tough to finish all your chores because interruptions continue to catch you off guard. However, there are only a certain number of hours in the day so you cannot waste your time on unimportant activities. You have a chance now to demonstrate what you can accomplish if you remain focused, so don’t allow your mind to drift too far off track.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Managing your time wisely today allows you to be extra productive and your determination gives you the ability to stay on schedule. It takes a lot to pull you off task now, so you should be able to finish whatever projects you start. But don’t be overly concerned about working quickly; if you establish your own pace and do the job correctly from the beginning, you will arrive at your destination just on time.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you are quite serious today, you may not be all that quiet. You could be your regular talkative self, even if you’re more concerned with substantial issues now than you are with witty banter. It doesn’t matter if someone thinks you’re a wet blanket because your somber tone is only temporary. Even if others expect you to be the life of the party, it’s okay to acknowledge that life is not just fun and games.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your schedule may be less forgiving today and it won’t be easy to alter your previously made plans. In fact, you could exhaust yourself by resisting the prevailing currents now. Instead, remain flexible and flow with your existing commitments the best you can. Don’t harbor any resentment, even if you wish you could do something else. If you maintain a positive attitude and a healthy sense of humor, the day will be more pleasant for everyone involved.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The determined Taurus Sun motivates you to complete whatever you begin, but your intentions may be obscured by restrictive Saturn today. You probably won’t mind turning down your volume for a while because a bit of self-restraint allows you to shine your light longer than usual. If others lean on you now, it’s because they can sense that you’re very serious about following through with your promises. However, don’t stress yourself out trying to live up to someone else’s expectations; doing the best you can is all that anyone can ask.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are very committed to doing a good job today, yet you can accomplish a lot without appearing to work hard. Paradoxically, you may look like you’re having more fun than you really are now, because you’re anxious about what others will think if your finished product isn’t good enough. Thankfully, you don’t need to worry so much because you are a more critical judge than most of your peers.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s return to gracious Libra is a gentle reminder that treating others kindly really does make you feel good, too. But the Moon’s conjunction to hardworking Saturn can stir up issues of resentment today because you wish that someone else would take care of you for a change. However, this isn’t a good day for rebellious behavior. Although you might hit an emotional rough patch, maintaining the peace should still be your top priority.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Secrets emphasizes your behind-the-scenes role today. Unfortunately, you are not satisfied being an invisible helper and could have a meltdown in front of everyone. Although you might like assisting others, you also require time to explore your own emotional issues. Don’t resist nurturing yourself, even if you’re worried about appearing selfish. If you don’t look after your own needs, you won’t have enough energy to look after anyone else’s.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have things to do now and strategic planning can help you accomplish what’s on your agenda. Normally, you might have a difficult time turning down an invitation to a social function, but today you are able to act with restraint. It’s not that you want to avoid the fun; it’s just a matter of priorities and you have more serious thoughts on your mind. It’s important to be responsible, but you don’t necessarily have to ignore your friends to accomplish your goals.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The radiant Sun and energetic Mars are now dancing through your 5th House of Self-Expression, encouraging you to approach your day in a lighthearted manner. But the Moon’s conjunction with your key planet Saturn in your 10th House of Public Responsibility can rain on your parade by squelching your creativity. Don’t bother wasting too much time trying to force spontaneity today; initiating one carefully considered action is smarter than behaving recklessly.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are pulled between needing to get out to do something exciting and isolating yourself from the rest of the world by staying home. But neither extreme will be possible since you probably have weekend chores to do today. Your friends might not even realize how dissatisfied you are now because you are so masterful at hiding your unfulfilled desires behind a facade of busyness. Be careful or you could end up misleading yourself by slipping into denial.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your responsibilities have grown in complexity and it’s no longer sufficient to just fulfill your promises. Things have changed as your awareness has grown over the past month. Now you must integrate your recent spiritual lessons into your everyday life. It’s not enough to write about your experiences like schoolchildren report on their summer vacations. Instead, recapture the intensity of your awakening by taking your new perspective to heart.

Daily General Horoscopes for May 13

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The Sun’s anxious sesquisquare to mysterious Pluto today dredges up old fears without us even realizing what’s happening. Something in the present moment triggers unconscious reactions that add intensity to the events as we engage in a power struggle, real or imagined. Fortunately, the Moon’s shift into gracious Libra at 11:56 am EDT helps us moderate our emotional distress with coolheaded logic, although it can be a tricky balancing act.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your day may get off to a bad start, but don’t hold on to any feelings of negativity or they might become obstacles to getting your way. Your workmates are willing to give you the support you want now, but you have to meet them halfway. You are naturally spontaneous, making you acutely aware of the advantage of focusing on the present; consider your current situation without dwelling on your past.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter how self-confident you feel now, there are still pragmatic reasons why it’s not wise to charge ahead and take what you want. Luckily, you’re willing to wait and your patience serves you well. Acting too forceful would only complicate things, but taking small, determined steps should increase the chances of reaching your desired destination.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone may misinterpret your actions today, for shady Pluto aspects the Sun hiding in your 12th House of Secrets. Fortunately, throughout the day it grows easier to say what needs to be said, but you might not overcome the resistance without an open conflict. Don’t back down, even if you must stand up to another person’s power trip. Ultimately, your persistence and clear conscience will work to your advantage.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your ambivalence is apparent today if someone demands that you take sides in an open disagreement at work. Although you might have a distinct preference, you’re hesitant to express your opinion because you understand both sides of the issue. Ultimately, you’re aware that you’re an observer and the conflict isn’t necessarily your problem. Even if you’re willing to lend a sympathetic ear, this distraction can affect your productivity. Stand firm in your impartiality to allow others the chance to find a quick resolution on their own.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s entry into your 3rd House of Information means that you must make some difficult choices about your schedule. You’re tempted to cram a lot into a small amount of time, but it might be smarter to simply let the day unfold with as few commitments as possible. There’s a sensible wisdom in being flexible to the changing winds, like a kite remains open to the fickle breezes of spring. Stay unattached to the clock today to increase your chances of grabbing an amazing opportunity if it appears out of the blue.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You know what you need to do to reach your current goal; however, you might actually prefer to be doing something very different now. Your struggle over this apparently irresolvable dilemma can be very intense. Thankfully, you have a greater degree of control than you think. Remember that your happiness is not dependent on any one event, but rather on how you respond to life’s twists and turns. Your resilience may be tested today, but you’re up for the challenge.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may experience an uncharacteristic emotional meltdown this morning, which clears the air of bad feelings and allows you to get back to business. Fortunately, getting along with others isn’t all that difficult when you care about the same issues. Sadly, someone may be dishonest with you today, making you unsympathetic to an alternative perspective. Still, it’s wise to suspend your judgment for a while and be as gracious to others as possible.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your patience has worn thin, even if your intentions are good. You’re tired of the same old issues coming up again and again, even though you have processed them and moved on. Fortunately, you can tell that others are really trying to change and you may already see positive movement. But it might not be happening fast enough and you don’t feel like waiting any longer. Being honest and expressing your frustrations in a calm manner reduces the tension and strengthens a key relationship.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be known for your social charm, and this usually works in your favor. However, you must exercise self-restraint now or your exuberant style might offend someone important. But rather than withdrawing completely, try toning down your enthusiasm just a touch. Keep in mind that self-discipline doesn’t mean you have to remain silent; it’s about saying the right thing succinctly. It’s crucial to know how much to say and when to stop talking.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be angry if someone sends you mixed signals today, asking you to do something and then instructing you to back off. You might not have a strong preference about what you should do, but you aren’t happy with the uncertainty that’s raised with the change of plans. Don’t push for clarification; you could inadvertently open a can of worms that’s better left alone. Accept the lack of direction now instead of wasting your energy trying to capture elusive resolution.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re on the edge of a breakthrough today, but you are probably juggling too many tasks to follow up on any one of them. Thankfully, your routine work assignments won’t necessarily prevent you from pursuing a more interesting adventure. Your commitment will probably mean working late hours, but you can meet all your obligations while still having sufficient time to explore a more inspiring path.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your subconscious is sending you powerful messages today, yet they may stem from old fears rather than from current events. Ironically, the more time you put into analyzing your memories, the more intense your feelings become. There’s nothing to be gained by feeding your negative fantasies; instead of worrying about something that’s well in your past, focus all your attention on what’s happening now.

Daily Horoscopes for May 12th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The perfectionist Virgo Moon requires precision in our perceptions and our communications. But it won’t be easy to stay focused today, even if the Virgo Moon filters out some of the noisy distractions. Paradoxically, impulsive Mars forms a cooperative sextile with foggy Neptune, muddying the clear waters with murky fantasies. Although objective logic is warped by our subjective dreams, a harmonious Sun-Moon trine enables us to maintain balance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are normally reluctant to show your vulnerability, often covering it by initiating action instead of waiting for something to happen. But your ruling planet Mars slipped out of your sign yesterday, leaving you open to someone’s harsh criticism. Thankfully, witty Mercury and charming Venus come to the rescue today by overriding any self-doubt. Talking your way out of a difficult situation is admirable as long as you also remain open to what others say.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although the days keep getting busier and busier, you are becoming more adept at blocking out the excess noise. The choice is yours; you can also walk away instead of engaging in all the commotion. Make use of the time you gain by relaxing in a quiet space. Meditating or daydreaming can help you recharge your batteries today. If you’re lucky, you might not even be missed when you slip away for your little escape.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may reconsider your previous plans for the day because you might want to add even more activities to your schedule. However, it’s possible to take the power of positive thinking too far today. Your blind optimism could tempt you to overcommit, letting others down and leaving you discouraged. Be cautious; managing your time wisely enables you to accomplish more than you thought possible and could even prevent an unnecessary disaster.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you have more confidence about a recent career decision today, you aren’t as driven to reach your goal immediately. Your newfound certainty allows you to cut yourself some slack and take it a bit easier for a day or two. But don’t stretch this little break too long or you could fall behind. Set your long-term goals now and work at a pace that enables you to sustain your efforts.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have grown quite content recently to enjoy simple pleasures whenever you get the chance. You don’t need to tell everyone about your inner process, so keeping your feelings to yourself today will serve you well. However, you have things to do now and it would not be wise to put off your current obligations. Instead of hurrying through your tasks so you can relax later, try moving slower and taking the time to smell the flowers and savor the coffee along the way.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s entry into your sign today places you in touch with a feeling that you may have attempted to avoid. You’re not interested in being the leader now and prefer to be just another person in the crowd. But let’s face it; everyone isn’t as committed to perfection as you are. Fortunately, you’re able to work well with others by relaxing your exacting performance standards. Sometimes it’s more important to just get the job done.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be concerned about making a decision that has a direct impact on others at work and you’re not willing to determine the outcome on your own. Normally, you would just take a few steps back and let someone else assume leadership responsibility. But it might be impossible to pass the buck today; check in with your intuition before speaking up and committing to a plan.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Don’t waste too much time with analysis today because rational thinking won’t bring you the best answers. The realms of thought can only take you so far. Instead, trust your intuition now because your psychic radar is right on track. Don’t try to explain your decisions to anyone; just listen to your gut.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You seem to be enjoying yourself today as loving Venus and talkative Mercury both party with your key planet Jupiter. Still, you may be slightly worried that you’re missing something very important. Go about your regular business, but take a bit of time to make sure you don’t glide over unexpressed feelings that need to be addressed. Put away your clever one-liners and move past your own resistance to explore deeper and more personal issues.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone may be very attuned to you today, but you could be so busy working toward your goals that you don’t even notice. However, connecting with others can make a big difference, so don’t fearfully withdraw because you are worried about appearing vulnerable or dependent. Take the initiative and share your concerns with a trusted friend. You may be pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction to your disclosure.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are actively engaged with your immediate environment today and everything seems to be fine as long as you don’t stop moving. You may believe that you don’t have time to get bogged down by your emotions. However, slowing down long enough to consider the meaning of what’s happening in your life might be the smartest thing you can do. Fortunately, once you are back in touch with your feelings, everything will seem better than it was earlier in the day when you were stuck inside your head.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you might be feeling more content today, your life is busier than you prefer. It’s okay to be satisfied with your recent job performance, even if someone is on your case now because you didn’t pay enough attention to the details on a project. Thankfully, your happiness isn’t dependent on external events or the opinions of others. Integrating your own values into whatever you do is more important than receiving approval from anyone else.

Those who aren’t afraid of a little hard work are favored by this aspect. Remaining focused and taking things seriously are likely to produce substantial rewards. The ability to quickly change to stay atop rapidly evolving circumstances is a very valuable asset at this time.

Saturn Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect may make it difficult to commit one’s self to anything beyond the moment at hand. However, those who do take on new goals will put the full force of their nature into achieving them.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Neptune In Pisces
Because Neptune takes approximately 14 years to move across Pisces its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Neptune in Pisces is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

 

Pluto In Capricorn
Because Pluto takes approximately 15 years to move across Capricorn its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

New Moon Report for May 11 – Mars in Taurus

Mars in Taurus

Wednesday, May 11, 12:04 am PDT, 3:04 am EDT

Energetic Mars slows down in this fixed sign where it is more inclined to stay in place than to forge ahead. Asserting ourselves may be more difficult with the warrior planet in placid Taurus as overt expressions of anger tend to be repressed. Passive-aggressive behavior often occurs when we’re unable to be straightforward about our feelings. The positive side of this transit is consistency of effort that may not be exciting or creative, but provides a calming sense of continuity in times of radical change.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 May 6

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s friendly Gemini Moon enables us to enjoy ourselves, even if we are quite busy. Though we may feel the continuing stress of so many planets in just-do-it Aries, we are able to accomplish a lot without much effort as the Moon forms supportive sextiles to the Aries planets, giving us much-needed cosmic assistance. Our attention turns toward nurturing our home and family this weekend as the Moon shifts into reflective Cancer at 10:31 pm EDT.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you won’t likely take no for an answer today, you may need to do some fast talking before you receive the approval you are seeking. You might become frustrated if you’re caught up by circumstances you cannot control. On one hand, you shouldn’t give up too soon, for persistence will probably bring you what you want. On the other hand, remaining flexible is essential because your needs are changing faster than you realize.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You need time to absorb the changes you have recently experienced, but one distraction after another now can keep you hopping. Thankfully, the energy should begin to settle down by tomorrow, giving you enough peace and quiet to actually hear your own thoughts. Meditation can eventually bring a feeling of contentment, but today you must learn to find satisfaction even while you’re busy.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you feel that your needs are going unmet today, it’s probably because your moods are shifting very quickly while the Moon is in your fickle sign. You may get exactly what you want, but your desires continue to morph from one thing into another. Fortunately, your friends and associates are pretty easygoing about your current restlessness now, so it’s unnecessary to hide your feelings. Keeping others informed about your process can help to build better friendships.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might think that you need to keep something private, but once you begin telling your story today, your secrecy is overshadowed by your new policy of transparency. Perhaps you realize that you don’t have to hide as much as you usually do, and your current excitement about belonging to an extended family or a social network can have you sharing your feelings before you have a chance to consider the consequences. It’s time to come out of your shell, but don’t overwhelm everyone in the process.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You cannot hold yourself back once your attention shifts from listening to active participation. There may be valid reasons for your recent caution, but your progress on several fronts today should win out over your resistance. Don’t try to talk yourself into keeping quiet because the talkative Gemini Moon in your social 11th house needs interaction with others more than you need your autonomy.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Making a case for what you want today doesn’t assure that you will be satisfied right away. Nevertheless, this isn’t a sensible time to back down, for your words carry more power these days than you realize. Remember that facing external resistance can be the result of projecting your own internal fears. Overcoming apparent obstacles may prove to be hard work now, but the potential payoff is worth the extra effort.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are a bit pushier than usual now, especially if given a chance to tell others about your exciting plans. Your easygoing approach may be thrown out the window as you face the fear of being rejected by a friend or partner. You might believe that turning up your volume is one way to compensate for your uncertainty. Just remember that this impulsive strategy could backfire, motivating others to withdraw. Fortunately, the long-term viability of your ideas is not affected by someone else’s acceptance today. The only opinion that matters right now is yours.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s interactive Gemini Moon provokes you to take a risk and lay your feelings out in the open, whether or not this is the most sensible thing to do. Unfortunately, others may become anxious if they aren’t as comfortable as you are when it comes to handling intense emotions. Nevertheless, suppressing what you want to say will only make matters worse. Seeking the middle path works best; express what’s in your heart without expecting anything in return.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The changeable Gemini Moon is illuminating your 7th House of Others, filling the day with one noisy interaction after another. The intriguing folks who enter your life now make it difficult to turn down an invitation to learn something new. Just remember that you don’t have to impress anyone today; all you have to do is soak in as much information as possible and be grateful for the experience.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not be able to shut off your thinking now while ingenious thoughts are spinning your head around. Fortunately, the steady Taurus Sun enables you to pick one good idea and turn it into something tangible. Don’t be afraid to let your mind wander today, since you’ll instinctively come back to center with something positive to show for your daydreaming.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

There’s no need to show off your cleverness today, for those close to you already know that you’re very smart. Instead of overstating your case or rambling on too long about your latest great idea, just show up and be yourself. Your intelligence shines through your actions as well as your words, so walk your talk instead of trying to convince others that your plan is the best one.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may find yourself exploring new financial territory today, whether you’re considering a major purchase, taking out a loan or making an investment. However, it’s difficult to narrow your focus enough to make a choice as the scattered Gemini Moon aspects several planets in your 2nd House of Money. Remove the pressure by putting off your final decision until you’ve had a chance to gain more clarity on your next move.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for May 6 – 8

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

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.
