Horoscopes
Aries
You tend to speak with more passion today, Aries, and you may be very quick to communicate. Of course, hasty communications can sometimes be regrettable, so you may want to watch for that, but you may very well enjoy the ability to make quicker decisions or to handle a matter that you’ve put aside. Mental energy runs high today, and it should be kept in mind that people may not be saying what’s in their hearts. As such, it’s better to keep some emotional distance if engaging in debates. There can be many distractions, but this can be a great day for reviving an old mental interest or idea.
Taurus
While the Moon in your entertainment zone all day stimulates a desire/need to let loose your more playful side, Taurus, you can also feel quite motivated to put an idea into action, solve a problem, and get things done. This is especially the case with finances and business. Some of you could feel reason to defend yourself or come to the defense of someone. You are a little more impulsive than usual, and decisions can be made quickly, and ideally not hastily. This is a good time to revisit old ideas and perhaps update them. Review of past purchases or budgets can be fruitful.
Gemini
Mental energy is abundant today, and while it can sometimes cross over the line of excess, Gemini, you can get a lot done. The desire to build something for yourself or to take action on your ideas can be powerful now, and you are more willing to do what it takes to make things happen. You may want to watch for impulsive or unintentionally insensitive remarks, as your mind is working a lot faster than your heart, and at a quicker pace than that of most people around you. Of course, you can blurt something out and immediately prepare yourself for damage control. However, you may decide to consider consequences first and save yourself the trouble.
Cancer
This can be a day in which there is a lot of energy and animation surrounding a matter or a person from your past that has resurfaced, Cancer. You could find that you have more energy for putting something to rest, or for dealing with a nagging problem once and for all. A new piece of information, or a sudden memory, can make your mind race today, and there can be new insight into a matter. If you can harness the extra energy (mostly mental energy) you can be very productive today. There can be a desire to share something private or to release a mental burden, although you may want to doublecheck that you are not revealing something prematurely. Gather your facts before jumping into something.
Leo
Others can notice you for your especially unique point of view or accurate observations today, Leo, and you can enjoy a nice feeling of invigoration and enthusiasm. Be aware that there can be a tendency to misconstrue or to put a lot of energy into something that you change your mind about later. As well, it can be especially important to pay attention to emotional cues and not only intellectual ones, and avoid taking others’ possibly insensitive commentary to heart as well. Otherwise, this can be an exciting day in which new visions and ideas are inspiring and light a fire under you. Conversations with friends or groups, and meetings in general tend to be animated and worthwhile.
Virgo
You’re communicating and coming across with considerable strength today, Virgo, with the Moon in your sign and your ruler, Mercury, approaching an alignment with Mars. What you communicate has more impact than usual, so be certain you know what you’re talking about! There is a tendency to live in the mind, so you may want to double check that your heart is behind what you’re expressing. You can be especially busy going over past work, researching ideas for future plans and goals, or doing editing activities. Try to balance logic and emotion. Be firm and true to yourself in your dealings with others today.
Libra
This is a day of increased motivation and determination to get things done, or at the very least, to understand something more thoroughly, Libra. There is an extra dose of sharpness in your mental capacities now, and you’re inclined to look to the past to examine problems or put something to rest. Focus on tying up loose ends. You can be quick to debate or defend an opinion or cause today and tomorrow morning. Watch for too much living in the mind, however, as this can temporarily dull sensitivity to emotional cues. Be cautious about what you express, and if something said truly bothers you and causes your mind to race, try to wait before reacting, as the tendency to misinterpret runs high. You may be craving some alone or rest time today, and if you can take it, do so, with the Moon in your recuperative solar twelfth house all day.
Scorpio
This is a good time to tackle projects or endeavors that you’ve let slide or that you’ve avoided in the past, Scorpio. There is mental courage today, more than usual, as well as a real desire to make things happen. Some of you could make an important discovery about finances or in a research project. There can be a competitive feeling today, and this can be used positively as motivation to make improvements. Restlessness might lead you to big discoveries, but it can also lead you down a frustrating path if you’re not careful. Focus on existing problems now for best results, rather than looking for new ones! Avoid pushing too hard for answers unless you’re prepared to truly get them. This is a strong day for review, research, and the revival of old interests or ideas.
Sagittarius
With Mercury and Mars coming to a conjunction in your partnership sector today, there can be an accelerated, energized pace to a relationship, Sagittarius. Impulsive communications are a tendency. Others may be reacting strongly or acting a little unpredictable. You may very well learn from the experience. You may be revisiting an old problem, and this time finding answers to it. An old relationship or significant person in your life can be in strong focus. Try not to be oversensitive to changes of plans or to others’ comments. Let others express themselves, but draw the line if you feel someone’s overstepping or too pushy with you. Channel the extra energy you have today into truly productive activities.
Capricorn
An old problem or grievance, particularly work or health-related, can crop up today, demanding your attention, dear Capricorn. There can be a quickened pace to your routines and work, and to the day in general, and you can be filled with a sudden desire to get busy, to make a real difference, and to sort out problem areas. It’s a great time to find ways to reduce waste – you are especially resourceful and can easily get to the point or bottom line. Mental energy is strong today, and you are best off if you can use it to clear away clutter or otherwise clean up your life in little yet significant ways. Others may be falling behind you in terms of work or contributions, and it’s best not to worry too much about it. Also, watch for sharp words, whether you’re hearing or saying them. There is a business-like, slightly impatient quality to the day.
Aquarius
There can be animation surrounding children, a romantic partner, a friend, or a creative project today, Aquarius, with Mars and retrograde Mercury meeting up in a sector of your chart that rules these matters. There may be surprises or excitement now, a desire to get to the bottom of a matter, and a need to solve a problem from the past. You can get very fired up about an interest or idea, and may be focused on past ideas, projects, or even people. It’s a strong day for feeling motivated to sort things out. For some of you, there can be an undeniable urge to express yourself in a creative, unique manner, and people tend to admire you for your ideas. As long as you avoid impulsive decisions or an overly competitive disposition, this can be a great day for increased motivation levels, making a real dent in your to-do list, and solving old problems.
Pisces
This can be a good day for picking up where you left off on an old project, Pisces, particularly around the home or with family. Something from the past might resurface, and it can be refreshing as you uncover needs that you have either denied in the past or simply overlooked. Home may not exactly be your haven today, as it’s likely to be quite busy and possibly hectic, and if you’re away from home, it may be that your own brain feels overloaded or especially excitable. Prepare for changes in plans and some level of restlessness, but also a real chance to get things done. Conversations can be lively. A partner may be taking the lead today or energizing and encouraging you.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 26th:
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).
