Horoscopes
Aries

This is a good time to find ways to improve work/leisure balance problems in your life, Aries. Some of you could be considering delegating work, as pressures for you to perform are strong. This can be a difficult thing to do right now with Pluto transiting your career zone, as this transit can sometimes lead you to believe that you have to do it all. Energies today and tomorrow can stimulate all sorts of fears and tensions concerning your career or reputation, and it would be wise to consider ways to reduce stress. The Moon moving into your home and family sector today might help you to back away from problems coming from the outside world so that you can see them from a better perspective.
Taurus

Outside interests are plenty, dear Taurus, and while good for you, can sometimes consume so much of your time that you are missing the opportunities that Jupiter’s transit of your solar fourth has been offering you in terms of connection with home and family. Today and this week, you’re more likely to truly see and identify problem areas, and all is in your favor to make the necessary improvements that will improve your life. If you’ve been spreading yourself too thin, trying to please too many people and to do more than you are truly capable of doing, this is a good time for making changes. Obsessions and addictions that have been dragging you down may become painfully obvious, and now you have the chance to get back on track.
Gemini

Today and tomorrow, you may be dealing with issues revolving around fears, obsessions, and addictions, dear Gemini, and how any of these may have been holding you back from succeeding at your goals or making important changes. You may have been getting worked up about matters that haven’t yet happened, and may never happen, and for some of you, an intimate relationship and concerns revolving around it may have been consuming so much of your time that it’s hard to grab the opportunities that have been with you for learning and communications. This is an excellent time to see what has been tripping you up and for taking steps to make the necessary adjustments to bring back more balance to your life. The Moon’s move out of your sign this morning can in fact help you to look at situations in a more practical way.
Cancer

This is a good time to clearly see what may have been preventing you from achieving your goals or going after what makes you happy, dear Cancer. Challenges in partnerships can be magnified temporarily, just long enough for you to identify attitudes or situations that have been weighing you down or negatively impacting your life. You could be questioning recent alliances or choices, and now is the time to get yourself back on track by making important adjustments. Excesses on a financial level might also be dealt with now. The Moon enters your sign this morning, bringing emotions close to the surface and reminding you of your need to connect emotionally to the world around you.
Leo
Periodically since September, you may have been dealing with health, motivation, or scheduling problems that interfered with your broader goals or personal success, dear Leo. Today and this week, you’ll have the chance to make important adjustments in order to free yourself of burdens that have been holding you back. Obstacles now can have to do with expecting too much from yourself, or managing demanding schedules all on your own. Doubts about current goals or alliances might in fact help you to slow down long enough to make important adjustments, and getting back on track is the focus now. The Moon’s move into your soul sector this morning can help turn your attention to the need for further reflection.
Virgo

Periodically in recent months, you may have been dealing with problems dragging you down revolving around a romantic relationship, creative pursuit, or children, dear Virgo, which consume a lot of your time and/or energy. This week, you are getting the chance to sort out your love life, attention to leisure activities, and attachment to certain creative projects or ideas so that you can better tend to your priorities going forward. If you’ve been holding on to guilt, do your best to face why this may be so. The more burdens you release now, the better your chances for taking advantage of opportunities coming your way in the future. The Moon moves into your networking zone this morning, and friendships or casual connections might help you to positively release some of the tension you’ve been feeling.
Libra

You may have the chance to deal with an imbalance once and for all today and this week, Libra, particularly surrounding family matters if they’ve been getting in the way of your growth on a social level or concerning outside interests. This is a time for facing fears of making changes or of making mistakes, as these may be standing in the way of success. If you need to assuage your guilt, take steps to do so. Finding a better balance is key. Dealing with personal, family, and home matters that have reached difficult proportions is essential, as problems in these areas seem to be the major obstacles to happiness right now.
Scorpio

If you’ve been overshooting, slacking off, or otherwise missing opportunities to reach your goals, Scorpio, this week will bring a reminder to restore balance in your life. You may be dealing with a need to review your communications or to handle excess attention to problem areas and outside interests. You might also need to let go of a fear of others getting to know more about you, or of a need to do everything yourself at the expense of other areas of life that you’ve been neglecting. Relaxing and trusting that things will be okay if you take some needed rest can be difficult for you these days, but very necessary. The Moon entering fellow Water sign Cancer this morning can help you to find natural outlets for expressing pent-up emotions and frustrations.
Sagittarius

Your ruler, Jupiter, is generally in good form these days, Sagittarius, but periodically since September, it gets into difficult relationship with Pluto, as it does today for the final time in this series. This can be considered a time for slowing down if you’ve been overshooting or excessive recently. Today and tomorrow, you’ll likely have to face some of your fears surrounding money management, business prospects, and for some, talents and self-worth. These may be holding you back from pursuing your dreams, or keeping you tied down and grounded when you might be better off venturing out and about. This is an excellent time for working on confidence issues.
Capricorn

A Jupiter-Pluto repeated theme since September ends this week, Capricorn, and you have a chance to resolve recent problems that have held you back from success, and for many of you, this can be quitting a bad habit or fully committing yourself to a relationship. You may need to slow down a little so that you can make adjustments to your goals or expectations. There can be an obvious need to relax your attitude or outlook in order to welcome improvement and growth into your life. Identifying areas of overshooting, obsessive attention to negative areas of life, and those things that are consuming too much of your time and/or dragging you down. This is an excellent time for seeing problem areas and making the necessary adjustments to fix them.
Aquarius

Periodically you may have recently been dealing with self-doubt and fear of making changes, Aquarius, and this week, you have a chance to improve your attitude. While it’s important to take your time making important decisions now, it’s also an ideal time to face fears of moving forward. Identify guilt that might also be holding you back from seeking out happiness. If the past keeps surfacing in a relationship, aim to deal with it once and for all. The Moon’s move into your sector of work and routines can bring you into a taking care of business frame of mind that is helpful for taking the pressure off overthinking other areas of your life.
Pisces

You may have the chance to finally deal with a problem involving imbalance between your social life and working life this week, Pisces. A sign that you’ve been overdoing things is if both areas of your life are overextended – in other words, you’re spreading yourself too thin trying to please everyone. Take the time to realign and redirect your energies, as this will benefit you most down the road. This morning, the Moon moves into your pleasure sector, and tensions might be released through creative, entertaining activities. Pulling yourself away from problems can sometimes give you a better perspective.

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 May 20th:
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).
