Horoscopes
Aries
The pursuit of pleasure today can very easily reach excess, Aries, and while this is not always bad thing, it’s a good idea to be mindful of the tendency. There can also be an inclination to promise or imply more than you can actually fulfill. Otherwise, the day is a good one for pursuing favorite pastimes and hobbies and recreation, creative pursuits, learning, and discovery. Romance can thrive, but only if expectations of others are kept at a realistic level. There can also be very nurturing, supportive teaching and learning moments today. You can very much enjoy sharing ideas and developing rich new ideas.
Taurus
If you schedule too much today, Taurus, you may be inadvertently setting yourself up for disappointment, largely because it can be very difficult to concentrate. You are inclined to putter about rather than really produce, and while this is something that happens from time to time and is not explicitly difficult, you may want to take a light schedule or watch for inattention. Family relations can be stimulating today, but too much can be made of little issues. The mood is open, but a little undependable. If you’re shopping today, you might want to keep credit cards at home. There is very good energy for money and business strategy, however. While you may be in an indulgent mood personally, you could come up with rich ideas about how to take care of business in general.
Gemini
Watch for taking on too much today, Gemini. You likely have many new interests, particularly those revolving around learning or brushing up on skills, but if you do too much at once, you run the risk of becoming overwhelmed and abandoning ship. What you are learning now will in fact be extremely beneficial at a later date. This is because Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, is moving through your communications and learning sector, until August. While it may not always be obvious, the bits and pieces you are picking up these days (your mind is a sponge right now) can lead to something quite successful. Today, however, there can be a tendency to overreach, and this can extend to other pleasures and comforts, so watch spending as well. Having more of something will not necessarily make you happier.
Cancer
The temptation to overdo pleasures is strong today, Cancer. Some splurging is good for you, but today it may stimulate a vague feeling of guilt or regret. You are drawn to things that you imagine will make you feel more comfortable and at ease. However, extravagance is unlikely to satisfy, as attractive as it may be. In fact, simplifying your life, or turning to tried and true comforts, is likely to be more successful. There is a lot of yearning going on in your life these days, and it’s better to try to focus on what it is that makes you feel lacking on a spiritual level rather than try to fill up the holes with whims of the moment. Otherwise, today has strong potential for wonderful conversations or articulation of feelings. There is a sense that you can get better through encouraging words, or something that is said holds the potential for much comfort and possibly healing as well.
Leo
The Moon is transiting a playful, creative sector of your chart, dear Leo, and this brings out your natural good humor. Jupiter is in your sign, and the tendency to want more from your life has been strong for many months now. Jupiter is challenged by Venus today, and this can stimulate the less pleasant sides of the position, which include restlessness and insatiability. Try not to overdo or overstate as an attempt to overcome boredom. Tonight, life becomes easier, albeit still a little pumped up on an emotional level. There is good energy for healthy, helpful, and nurturing conversations with friends or a partner.
Virgo
Escaping from the hustle and bustle would be ideal today, Virgo. You could find that you’re seeking out refuge, particularly as you’ve been pulled in many different directions recently. From some level of solitude comes rewards and benefits, largely due to Jupiter in your privacy sector. Today, Venus forms a minor challenging aspect to Jupiter, and you could really struggle with a desire for retreat, leisure, and escapism. Jupiter will move into your sign in August, and this will pull you right out of your shell. For now, you may need to process events and keep to yourself. A kind deed can be rewarding today. You’re likely to feel that you come alive through family, who are more supportive than usual. This can also be a strong day for nurturing a business, learning about health methods and techniques, and communicating with higher ups or clients.
Libra
Jupiter’s presence in your solar eleventh house brings you rewards and benefits through your social connections, business dealings, and new endeavors, Libra. Today, there can be some restlessness stimulated with these things, or a tendency to go overboard. While you may be feeling very optimistic, try not to take on too many commitments and avoid doing things to excess. The Moon is in your communications sector, and you can be hungry for mental stimulation. Chances are good you’ll find a lot to be interested in today. Creatively speaking, this is a very good day for new ideas.
Scorpio
Ambition is pleasantly stimulated right now, Scorpio, but at times today, you may have so many wants and needs that you don’t know where to begin. Avoid over-committing and stretching yourself too thin. As the day moves forward, it should bring pleasing feelings of validation, and this can come through family, business associates, parents, or authority figures. Overall, it’s a good day for business, as long as you work around restlessness and over-reaching. You could have a cleansing conversation about a personal matter.
Sagittarius
You should be feeling pleasantly emotional and connected today for the most part, Sagittarius, as long as you try to tame restlessness and overblown expectations. There could be news coming in that is exaggerated. A good way to manage your day is to feed your desire for knowledge, variety, and activity. You are not in the mood for the usual fare. Communications, particularly with a partner, can be especially helpful, fertile, and even healing. This is also a good time for any kind of counseling or teaching/learning situations.
Capricorn
You may be inclined to overindulge today, Capricorn, and it’s not the best time to schedule work or activities that require attention to detail. It may be wise to tame expectations of others, as people may be taking you on a bit of a rollercoaster ride, whether knowingly or not. Pull back into yourself and avoid putting all hopes in others right now. Focus on your own happiness, and disappointments are less likely to spoil the mood of an otherwise good day. This is a nice time for getting in touch with important feelings and for gaining new insight into problems. It’s a strong day to draw up marketing plans or budgets, and to research health and wellness techniques.
Aquarius
This can be a great day for enjoying others, flirting, and boosting up others’ confidence levels, Aquarius. However, there can also be a tendency to overstate or promise too much, even unintentionally, just to keep the good mood alive. These things can bite back at a later date, so try to keep things as real as possible. As well, although you are especially affectionate right now, your moods can swing if you are putting too much weight into others’ responses, which are variable at best and totally unreliable at worst. Today can bring a wonderful teaching (or learning) moment. You are full of helpful advice, and others appreciate you for your unique insight.
Pisces
There can be many things that require your attention today, Pisces, but you are unlikely to be in any mood to tend to business and practical matters. You might also be inclined to overindulge now. Try to find a balance between the need for comfort and inactivity (valid needs!), and the need to tend to chores. Some things can wait, others are better off handling as soon as possible. Also be wary of others’ promises right now, even if good intentions are behind them. The tendency to overestimate our abilities is strong today, largely in order to maintain a good mood. There can be a nice, supportive conversation about a personal matter or a bit of advice that works well for you.

Adjustments need to be made to your goals. It’s time to reassess and to make any necessary changes to bring you more in line your true purpose in life.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
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: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 6th:
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).
