Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Getting some time to yourself would be wonderful today, dear Aries, with the Moon spending another day in your privacy sector. Even so, it would benefit you to spend some time with or around others, as you are radiating subtle, healing energy. The Moon is approaching full circle relative to your sign, and it’s natural for you to need more time to reflect, meditate, and detox on an emotional level. Your intuition is working powerfully for you. You can quickly become comfortable with your feelings and all that goes on behind the scenes. You are more ambitious and interested in bettering yourself, so that pressures experienced today tend to be your own, although quite enjoyable and useful. Business ideas are particularly sound and bright, and time spent working in relative solitude can be particularly fruitful.
Taurus
The Moon spends another day in your solar eleventh house, dear Taurus, and friendships, entertaining, enjoying company, or connecting with your happiness goals and dreams can be in sharper focus. Your sense of community or your desire to interact openly and freely with others is strong. You want to get involved. Teamwork fares well now. There can be a subtle boost in your social or romantic life. Friends tend to bring good news or advice. Practical elements of your life tend to take the backseat today, as you are emotionally geared towards social matters. Anything that relieves stress will be appropriate now, and in fact, quite easy to naturally find. You attract attention in a pleasant way today.
Gemini
Your leadership qualities or abilities are in strong form today, dear Gemini, or your work and productivity are in focus now. Approval doesn’t need to be sought today – it comes naturally, and it’s more likely to appear. You’re a little more aware than usual of your reputation and how it impacts your life, and this can fuel the motivation to align your goals with your higher beliefs and principles. For the most part, today brings responsible energy, and you find it easy to get in touch with your current priorities as a result. It’s a good day for feeling you’ve accomplished something worthwhile. Even so, it’s best not to focus too narrowly and instead keep some of your options open. Others tend to recognize your efforts or competence now.
Cancer
You are especially forward-looking today, dear Cancer, with the Moon in your adventure sector harmonizing with Jupiter in your house of creativity. There is good energy for teaching and sharing, but you are at your best if your activities allow you some wiggle room and space to be spontaneous. This is a fine time for all things educational, as well as for publishing and travel matters. You’re likely to feel confident about finding ways to enlarge your scope. The feedback you receive from others tends to jumpstart your own thinking processes. This can be a good time to honor your need for a change of scenery or a new experience so that you can return to your daily routines more refreshed and motivated. This is a time of the lunar month to focus on the positive and uplifting elements of your life.
Leo
This is a time when you can be craving more intimacy or depth in your experiences, dear Leo, and you’re likely to find them today. You’re looking to scratch the surface more deeply. Family and personal matters tend to fare particularly well today. You’re thinking in particularly positive terms, enjoying good memories and activities that absorb your attention. You’re likely to see meaningful connections that allow you to solve problems and discover reasons and motivations. Home life is supportive and in focus, or you’re perfectly content and comfortable spending time with yourself. Strategies for your work or health pursuits are sound, and you’re seeking out hidden answers and motivations. The emphasis today is on emotions, close ties, dreams, and your inner world.
Virgo
The Moon spends another day in your partnership sector, dear Virgo, and connects well with other planets. It can be a great time for communicating, getting to the core of a matter, as well as teaming or pairing up to come up with a great idea. While you may not be entirely in sync, you’re likely to enjoy the company of others and a healthy rapport. Adaptability is one of your fortes, and the atmosphere today is one of positive change. You’re enjoying a sense that others are cooperative and in general agreement. The day’s energies are especially supportive of enhancing relationships and getting to satisfying compromises. Your social life improves and your interests grow.
Libra
You have a stronger sense of self this year, dear Libra, and you carry yourself in such a way that you’re naturally attracting the right resources to you. This is emphasized today as Jupiter in your sector of self-worth harmonizes with the Moon in your sector of work and service. There can be good relations with those you work with, who work for you, or with whom you interact as you fill your duties or daily tasks. The energies of the day promote good feelings about being productive, bringing more order into your home life, and attending to your resources. A comfortable pace suits you well. Planning related to work and home life is particularly sound today.
Scorpio
The Moon spends another day in your self-expressive solar fifth house, dear Scorpio, and romance, entertainment, hobbies, recreation, and social involvements are larger than life for you today. Feelings are pleasantly dramatic. You might thoroughly enjoy the planning or mapping out of details stage of a venture as Jupiter in your sign connects creatively with Pallas. Your energy levels as your ambition increases. Creating something and sharing it with others is one way of enjoying the energies of the day. However, any activity that draws out your inner child can be satisfying. You’re feeling particularly connected to the people around you and the things you’re currently doing. Others feel exceptionally comfortable in your presence. Some sort of emotional relief is probable.
Sagittarius
This can be a good day for tying up some loose ends or putting a frustrating problem behind you, dear Sagittarius. You’re focused and ambitious even though you’re also somewhat retiring or reserved at this point in the lunar cycle. Today’s energies are strong for feeling rooted and secure. Support may come from behind the scenes. It’s a time when you need (and tend to get) some emotional replenishment. You’re less interested in enjoying new experiences than you are in exploring your feelings today. There can be a special enjoyment of personal memories, and some form of emotional retreat is appropriate now, but there is also good energy with you for solving problems as well as pleasant exchanges. You’re especially credible and clever today and tomorrow.
Capricorn
This is a fine time for making connections while maintaining a comfortable level of independence, dear Capricorn. Good advice can be exchanged today. Working together with others in a team yields the best results for the time being, and you are the natural leader. Sharing your expertise or directly lending a hand can be beneficial. You’re certainly more talkative, curious, and mentally stimulated than you have been recently, and being on the move, even if it’s on a mental level, is important to you today. You’re drawn to lively settings and people, as well as interesting ideas. It’s a beautiful time for branching out, connecting, and exploring different ideas or catching up on the news.
Aquarius
The Moon spends another day in your resources sector, dear Aquarius, and you’re likely to enjoy tending to your favorite personal possessions, taking care of business, or getting comfortable. You’re in a good position to make strategic decisions about money and business. Making peace with the past helps you clarify your ambitions. There is considerable wisdom in a step-by-step approach to your ventures, as well as special satisfaction in so doing. You are not letting the small problems get to you, and you’re a little more open, direct, and confident about your talents and skills now. As you help and share, you naturally draw resources your way.
Pisces
The Moon spends another full day in your sign, dear Pisces, but today forms some satisfying aspects and provides channels for you to express yourself in satisfying ways. You can be filled with new ideas and good feelings. You’re also especially inspired and motivated. You believe in yourself and your endeavors now. Going out of your comfort zone just a little increases your faith in yourself and the world. Small doses work best as you grow to trust that you’re perfectly capable of handling uncertain situations. Your emotions need a ready outlet today, and they’re likely to find it! Friends tend to be supportive without being stifling, and this suits you perfectly. This is a good day for connecting with others in happy ways, and for seeing opportunities all around you.

Today’s Elemental Balance
EARTH STRONG
Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
Today’s Modal Balance
The modes are balanced.
Today’s Lunar Phase
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 10th:
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 the Moon 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).
