Horoscopes
Aries
You would do well to nurture your need for peace and quiet in the first half of the day, Aries. You can feel a sense of accomplishment or hopefulness in business, and in your personal life, a stronger feeling of security and connectedness. You may be feeling content and good about getting more on top of things with finances. Emotional energy is turned outward with the Moon in your sociable eleventh house most of the day, but as the day winds down, you’re ready for some introspection and may even delight in time alone. You would do well to take this time with Mars beginning its transit of your busy communications sector, which tends to get you moving and motivated to get a lot done.
Taurus
Your unique perspective and qualities are subtly enhanced and more noticeable today, Taurus. People are drawn to you and may even feel that your words or even your presence has a healing effect on them. You might want to choose today for an important conversation or presentation, or for dealing with little problems. People more readily put their faith in your today. Mars leaves your sign today, and will transit Gemini and your solar second house from now until June 24th. Impatience or impulsiveness tend to leave as Mars moves on. You can be quite focused on establishing yourself and making money or settling in during this cycle.
Gemini
This is a strong day for dealing with private or past matters, Gemini, and for healing trouble areas as well. You may be drawing upon your past experience, inner power, and wisdom on a business or professional level, and others can find your perspective powerful. People tend to respond favorably to your ideas or plans. Mars enters your sign tonight, where it will transit until June 24th, and this can have the effect of quickening your pulse and energizing your desires. You could also be tempted to push your limits, possibly to the point that you overdo it and exhaust yourself. With some mindfulness, however, this can be a powerful period for pushing your personal plans forward.
Cancer
A friend may be a wonderful sounding board for you today, Cancer, and you can solve problems with an open approach. You have good timing right now, and you are especially broad-minded. When others put their faith in you, you tend to make better decisions and choices. This is a good time for feeling supported and sociable. You may be getting to a good, broader perspective on your life through the things you’re reading or the conversations you’re having. Tonight, Mars enters your privacy zone, where this planet of energy and action will stay until June 24th. This is a natural period for taking charge of your private life and your past. Focus should be on healing and physical and emotional renewal or recharge.
Leo
Problems suddenly seem a little easier to solve today, Leo, as minds and hearts are open. This is a good time for promoting your interests, opening up important conversations, and discovering or employing healing methods. You can be noticed for your more unique qualities and creativity. With the Sun in harmony with Chiron, being open to learning is favored, and so is humility. Without looking for the spotlight, it may come to you on its own right now. Mars enters Gemini tonight, where it will transit until June 24th. This puts this planet of action and energy in harmony with your own sign, which points to general and relative ease pursuing your goals and desires.
Virgo
There can be a refreshing reveal of a cherished idea, deeply held belief, or special dream with a friend or partner today, Virgo. Your manner is especially endearing, and you are able to see both the big picture and the little details, which helps problem solving in general. Your graciousness with others and their own ideas or input is appreciated today, and can help cement bonds. Emotionally, you can be feeling renewed. Mars moves into your career and professional zone. While this takes Mars away from a position of harmony with your sign, and you may feel you have to work a little harder for your goals, it’s also a strong time for recognizing and pursuing your ambitions. This cycle lasts until June 24th.
Libra
This is a strong day for enjoying looking for the hidden meaning of things, Libra, and for discovering something new. You could feel at your best if you are spending time or working with people whose interests are similar to yours, or that support yours. There could be a deep conversation or a conversation that opens up previously private topics. It’s a wonderful time for looking or discovering ways to heal, on all levels, not only physically. Clearing out blocks can be the best route towards repairing or healing problem areas right now. Tonight, Mars enters a fellow Air sign, which is a good influence for pursuing your desires without too much in the way of obstacles in the weeks ahead.
Scorpio
Approach a relationship matter with willingness and openness today, Scorpio. This is a strong time for open, easy, accepting interactions. You may learn something new about a special person in your life, or might decide to open up about a private matter yourself. A partner or friend could point you in the direction of creative change and inspiration. You are showing others that you can be both sensitive and strong. Today is particularly good for building and mending romantic relationships or partnerships, love or business. As well, it’s powerful for creative pursuits. You are standing out for your unique way of seeing the world.
Sagittarius
This is a good time for healing, helpful, and restorative interactions with others, and activities as well, Sagittarius. You can very quickly and easily slip into a zone where you are getting everything together and making things work. There is more confidence in how you approach your work or tasks today, and this helps bring easier success. There can be a new way or method of doing things that comes to light today, and is especially helpful, or someone could be bending the rules in order to accommodate your wishes. If you need to repair a relationship or reconcile with someone, particularly related to family or work, this is a good time to do so.
Capricorn
There is strong energy for relationships today, Capricorn. You may be feeling that you’re moving forward, and you are attracting positive people and circumstances into your life. If you need to build some bridges, it’s a strong time for doing so, particularly through the power of positive words or simply opening up and letting things flow. Healing conversations can occur now. Creative output is particularly unique. Problem solving works better with two today. People love your sincerity and respond positively. It’s a good time for personal relationships, but also strong for business moves, particularly creative and promotional ones.
Aquarius
Home life is fulfilling at the moment, and you may be able to hone in on difficult areas in order to make improvements, Aquarius. Partnering is natural and easy right now. The key is to expect little from others, not in the sense that you lower your standards, but in the sense of avoiding the projection of your own wishes and hopes onto others. Work on eliminating unrealistic expectations. There is quite a nice feeling of openness today, particularly for you in the areas of finances, business, family, and domestic matters. You could recover a valuable or discover new things about people you love that increases your understanding.
Pisces
Pisces can often listen more than speak and give more than receive. However, today there can be a balance or fairness that you might enjoy, even if it feels unnatural at first. There are many benefits that come from openness and willingness to learn from one another, as well as interactions that are fair and balanced. People might especially enjoy your perspective on matters, as they consider you to be wise. Relations with friends, family, and co-workers can thrive today, and creative ideas that occur to you now should not be ignored. The Moon moves out of your privacy zone and into your sign only at the end of the day, and this brings buried feelings to the surface.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 11th:
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 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 life time).
