Horoscopes
Aries
There can be some tendency to stir up trouble or to act on a whim today, dear Aries. However, don’t allow this to counter the progress you are likely to make on mental levels. There can be high-strung moments, and perhaps some changes of plans or inability to rely on others. However, your mind is especially strong and you can come up with some satisfying conclusions or strategies now. A recent problem can resolve itself now. You can make excellent progress on a career or money-making idea now, but save big launches for later, simply because your ruler, Mars, is still retrograde until June 29th. Even so, you can make good progress on practical matters, particularly when it comes to planning and using strategy. The Moon enters your sign tonight, bringing emotions right to the surface.
Taurus
There is some tendency to feel a little rebellious or to pull yourself back as soon as you have what you want today, dear Taurus, with your ruler, Venus, in minor challenging aspect to Uranus. Try to tame this reflex. Instead, look within and decide what it is that is making you feel lacking or restless. Express your independence, but take care that you stay true to yourself as you do. A strengthening aspect between Mercury in your sign and perceptive Pluto today can help bring out a resolution to a problem or assist in improving a relationship bond. Romantically speaking, this can be an unusually intuitive and possibly even magical day in which there is increased understanding. Other relationships can benefit from an agreement or compromise that is mutually beneficial. Tonight, the Moon enters your privacy sector, pointing to a need for some emotional refreshment.
Gemini
There can be surprises in your relationships or social life today, dear Gemini, that throw you for a loop, but try to stay centered and calm rather than focus on being interrupted if there are changes of plans to deal with. Your love life may feel a little up in the air for now. However, there is strong energy for getting a leg up with recent problem areas today. You can be highly inspired and creative, and some of you could experience a chance meeting with a friend. You could enjoy a new subject or might research a topic more deeply now. You can be persuasive today, and attempts to resolve tricky issues through conversation can be quite successful.
Cancer
There can be some elements of surprise introduced into your day, dear Cancer, and although this can be disruptive on some level, it can also lead to new ideas or even breakthroughs in thinking about matters from the past, and even long-term goals. You might come to a better understanding of your ambitions. There can be surprising attractions for some, and possibly on the job. New visions of your future motivate and inspire you today despite minor interruptions. This is a strong day for sorting out problems. You can give great advice today, or you can inspire or be inspired by friends and connections.
Leo
There can be some unrest or conflicted feelings about a friendship today, dear Leo. This is not the best day for follow-through. There could be a change of plans or difficulty getting others to go along with your ideas and plans. Even so, making plans for finances, business deals, and problem solving are all favored now, and resolution may come to problems that were difficult to resolve during Mercury’s retrograde period in the first few weeks of May. Sensitive topics can be handled with more ease than usual today, and you could find that work-related matters run especially well. You might gain an advantage over a competitor in business, or more simply gain new insight into your goals.
Virgo
You could be feeling unsettled regarding a relationship or work matter today, dear Virgo, with a Venus-Uranus minor challenge that can have a way of disrupting the status quo. The best way to handle this influence is to proactively look for those things you truly need to change rather than let restlessness control your mood. There is strong energy today, however, for all things mental and creative. Positive educational, work, or travel news may be forthcoming. Your voice is stronger than usual and others may recognize you as an authority on a subject. Recent problems or predicaments, particularly those that popped up during Mercury’s retrograde in the first three weeks of May, might find resolution now.
Libra
Today is strong for high levels of mental energy, dear Libra, and a sense that decisions come a little more easily than has been the case recently. You can feel motivated to do things that you’ve put to the side or let slide. You might gain an advantage or feel more empowered about a home or financial situation, and for some, an intimate relationship. It’s a good time for striking up a conversation about a private or personal matter and for sorting things out, but it’s also a day when we may be a little noncommittal emotionally, as much as we can be mentally present. There can be some fickleness to deal with now, and this can be experienced within yourself and/or felt with others.
Scorpio
Desires can come on suddenly today, dear Scorpio, and you may be tempted to follow a whim. There could be some problems experienced counting on others or on social plans. Try to treat interruptions or changes of schedule as unimportant in the long run. There is very good energy for matters of the mind today. Increased clarity can come in or about a partnership. Willingness to let someone else take the stage opens up new levels in personal relationships right now, which have a chance to grow. Great ideas tend to come as the result of your interactions with a partner or trusted friend. Negotiations can be very successful and beneficial now.
Sagittarius
The urge to sort out little problems, iron out flaws, and eliminate waste or excess is strong today, so be sure to use this extra energy boost to clear up the clutter. Good energy is with you for solving problems or rising above them when it comes to practical matters. You can get much done now, and there is bound to be quite a bit of relief after uncluttering your mind and conscience. While your head for finances and practical affairs is powerful today,. there can be some distance or rebellion in your love life to deal with, but it’s temporary. You may very well simply need a small change of pace in order to feel back on track romantically or emotionally.
Capricorn
This is a strong day for friendships and dating, personal attraction, communications, and social life in general, dear Capricorn, especially when it comes to cultivating and enhancing connections through conversation. Recent dilemmas might be resolved now. You are coming across very well to others, and you might be turned to for advice. You can also be quite enthused about a hobby or creative pursuit now. There can be a strong urge to express yourself in a creative, unique manner grabs hold today. You’re ready to make quick and sharp decisions, particularly concerning love relationships, entertainment, and children. You’re energized right now on a mental level. Even so, there can be some impatience experienced today, and it can be difficult to satisfy an itch if you don’t know where it’s coming from. Examine what it is about your routines or daily life that needs a bit of revamping or updating.
Aquarius
Family life can be animated today, dear Aquarius, or this energy might play out in your inner world, creating vivid memories, and important discoveries, even breakthroughs. A recent problem may be resolved now, or you might gain new understanding of a personal matter that helps push things forward. This is a good time for taking action on domestic matters. Your home life may be especially busy or lively now. While there can be empowering moments on mental levels today, a Venus-Uranus minor influence can quicken the pace or leave you feeling a little restless and impatient. Look for ways to deal with making constructive changes rather than random ones.
Pisces
You can feel motivated to let go of outdated conditions or habits today, dear Pisces, particularly related to learning, communicating, and friendships. News can come that steers you in a new direction or that leaves you feeling you have an advantage. Good energy is with you for communicating your ideas and feelings, as personal influence and powers of persuasion are especially strong. Good feelings and reviews tend to be shared now. Even so, there is an element of randomness or interruption to the energy of the day, and you may be tempted to follow a whim. Aim to clear out psychic junk and to get into better touch with changes you need to make so that you can take charge of making changes.

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.

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: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 30th:
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).
