Horoscopes
Aries
The past few days have featured a lot of choices and a fair amount of chaos in your daily affairs, dear Aries, and some of you have been plagued by difficult choices to make and an overwhelming number of things to do. Decisions are not coming easily to you these days, but while this is set to continue a while longer, last night’s New Moon is helping you to tune out some of the distractions. It’s also providing you with a sense that you can accomplish much and stay on top of things. This is not the time for concentrating on one particular project as your attention is divided and you often crave variety and mental stimulation these days. It’s in fact a strong period for dabbling and keeping abreast of what’s going on around you.
Taurus
There seem to be so many choices and decisions to make these days that you’re often left with your head spinning, dear Taurus. This is due to a strong focus on Mutable signs in the cosmos – and it’s not typically your cup of tea. Uncertainty makes you especially uneasy. While this energy is still with us for a while longer, it becomes far less pressured today. Last night’s New Moon has also stimulated take-charge energy and gives you a better feeling that you’re in control, at least more so than you have been lately. Going forward, it’s likely to become clearer what steps you need to take to improve your finances and to take charge of your earnings.
Gemini
There has been a lot of uncertainty in your life in the past few days, dear Gemini, but last night’s New Moon can leave you feeling more in charge. If you’ve had the feeling that your life is in others’ hands a little too much lately, now you’re ready to reclaim the power you have over your own path and happiness. The Sun and Venus, both in your sign, now move away from a challenging Grand Cross and closer to one another, and the emphasis is now on you, taking pride in yourself, attracting positive attention, and enjoying the choices you make.
Cancer
This is a time when you may recognize the limitations of certain projects or endeavors, dear Cancer, and ideally coming to an understanding of what to eliminate and what to take with you as you go forward. This is the general theme of a New Moon occurring in the final sector of your solar chart – you’re clearing the decks for new beginnings, and you now find more energy and motivation to resolve problems that have been weighing you down. Today and tomorrow, you can be thoroughly enjoying some type of withdrawal, retreat, down time, and rest. It’s especially important to take a break from overthinking so that your intuition kicks in and has more say.
Leo
With the energy of last night’s New Moon prompting a sense of a new beginning, dear Leo, you can be feeling ready to move forward. Your inner world is full as you dream up new ideas and long-term plans, and your social schedule is likely to fill up as well going forward. It may have been rather difficult to settle down in recent days, but you’re beginning to feel a little more content and focused, even though you are certainly entertaining many possibilities now. Sharing ideals and knowledge with friends and associates can be satisfying now and this week. The focus turns outward, and good feedback is incoming!
Virgo
Much has been left up in the air recently, dear Virgo, but as the Sun and Venus now move away from a Grand Cross, you can begin to look for the lesson from your experiences and to learn from the personal differences and contrasts that have been figuring quite strongly in your life. Your own path becomes a little clearer now, and you can feel energized as you sense you are more in control of where you are heading. You might become aware of new responsibilities as old plans and projects fall out of focus, or you might have a new and improved vision of your goals. Instincts for business are strong today, and you’re coming across especially well professionally now and tomorrow.
Libra
Last night’s New Moon energizes you today after a few days of being a little overwhelmed with choices, dear Libra. There is a strong push towards activities that break you out of the usual routine and that truly allow you to feel connected with life and spirit. There can be a sense that there is so very much to learn, which can at times make you feel that life is a bit chaotic, but you are becoming more decisive and action-oriented. The desire to get away from it all emerges rather forcefully, and it’s a good time for taking steps towards making that happen. Your ruler, Venus, moves away from a Grand Cross today, and this tends to take some of the pressure off.
Scorpio
There is renewed focus on your inner world and resources with you today after last night’s New Moon, dear Scorpio, as well as the power to pursue new related goals. Mars continues to retrograde in your sign, and this does have you reassessing many projects and ideas. However, you can be filled with the desire to work on changing attitudes and gaining more inner strength now. This is a time for ridding yourself of attiudes that leave you feeling powerless, defeated, or limited. You might gain new insight into what aspects of yourself that can use some revamping. Some of you could be focused on improving a relationship. This is also a good time for dealing with debts, material or psychic, that have been weighing on you too heavily. Today is strong for researching or investigating a subject more deeply.
Sagittarius
The need or desire for companionship is emphasized in your life now, dear Sagittarius, and today is good for finding ways to better merge, compromise, and interact with the people or person most important to you. There can be opportunities emerging to have a fresh start in a relationship. This can be about taking on a new attitude or by gathering the courage to make something happen. The past few days have been distracting as you may have felt pulled in too many directions, uncertain, or overwhelmed by choices and possibilities. While there is continued focus on other people, today brings more settled energy and focus.
Capricorn
The Sun and Venus move out of a Grand Cross now, dear Capricorn, and while there continues to be rather scattered energy with us, you begin to feel less pressured today. A plan of action might even begin to form as the pressure releases. This is a good time for taking pride in and enjoying your work, the services you provide, or your health and wellness efforts. Connections made through these pursuits can be especially worthwhile or pleasant. Life seems easier as you begin to tune out distractions.
Aquarius
Last night’s New Moon has stimulated a strong focus on the part of you that needs to express yourself in unique and individual ways, dear Aquarius. You can have new confidence and extra energy or motivation to pursue activities and goals that you truly enjoy. You may want to stand out creatively or romantically, and make a fresh start with a hobby or even a relationship. New energy is brought to your romantic life. The Sun and Venus move away from the Grand Cross that has complicated the last few days’ energies, and closer to one another, and you are taking special pride in your creations. Others are taking note, too!
Pisces
You have added energy at your disposal to spend on family and home or property matters now after last night’s New Moon, dear Pisces. Aim to get busy on constructive projects or you’ll find that excess energy is wasted on restlessness. While you can be a little impulsive right now, this shift can actually be a nice relief from the ambivalence of the last few days. The fact that there are so many choices before you can be inspiring today, even if it was overwhelming yesterday, simply because your attitude now is more of a take-charge, can-do variety. You may very well feel that you’re turning over a new leaf today.

Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 5th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
