Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

With the Moon in the twelfth house, the hidden sector of your solar chart, dear Aries, you are a little more retiring than usual. Still, good energy is with you for tying up loose ends, reflecting, catching up on rest, and healing. It may be best to keep in mind that the day’s energies favor inspiration and imagination over attention to detail, so keep your options open and experiment with different ideas and approaches before settling on something definitive for better results now. Pushing for answers and commitments is unwise for the time being. Information coming in or people you meet this week can help you along financial or practical lines, but the big decisions should probably wait for a clearer time. Slight tweaks and adjustments may be necessary.

Taurus

Today’s Moon stirs and engages your more sociable side, dear Taurus, bringing out your need for a sense of belonging to something greater than yourself. Consider mixing up your routine just a little, as this energy is good for experimenting with new things, even in small ways. You are going your own way with ideas and decisions, and you’re often excited about your personal interests or projects, feeling on top of things. Energies later today, however, are in and out. On the one hand, you can feel particularly motivated to get things done, and you can have ideas you want to put in motion. On the other, you might wrestle with vague discontent or mental laziness. Your mind can wander when you need it to stay put the most! It’s temporary. It may be best to avoid firm plans, as you may very well change your mind once you really think it through.

Gemini

You can be feeling a little more ambitious today, dear Gemini, although your mind can wander in spots. The need to be formal can emerge with the Moon at the top of your solar chart all day. You could find yourself in a more noticeable situation that keeps you on your toes. Consider ways to add more imagination to your work or duties for the best results today, as a Mercury-Neptune transit fairly demands some respite from dull routines. Some misunderstandings are possible, particularly with friends, so aim to be patient and temporarily avoid making firm plans. It may be difficult to pinpoint the reason for slight discontent or a feeling of being out of sync, but if you can set aside unnecessary decision-making, you might enjoy the day more.

Cancer

The Moon spends all day in your spirit and adventure sector, dear Cancer, and it’s a generally feel-good influence. You may be in the mood for a change. Perhaps it’s about the scenery or the pace for emotional refreshment. It can be a day when you’re seeking some extra emotional stimulation. As the day advances, and Mercury moves into a minor challenging aspect to Neptune, aim to honor your need for imagination and a higher purpose, but watch for blurred lines in the practical world. It may be wise to avoid making unclear or vague statements. Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to slow down to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings.

Leo

The Moon spends all day in your intimacy sector, dear Leo, pointing to a deeper need for involvement in a project or relationship. You might also enjoy deeper ambition and motivation today. Still, you may prefer to observe rather than act just for now, and this can be a good idea for the time being. As the day advances, with a minor challenging aspect in play, it’s possible you unwittingly misrepresent yourself, either by keeping quiet about something when you should speak up, by withholding information, or by speaking vaguely. This is minor, but it should be noted that there is a tendency to misunderstand and misconstrue, more than usual, just for now. You’re approaching strong energy for practical application, but thinking today may be a little fuzzy.

Virgo

The Moon spends all day in your partnership sector, dear Virgo, and your social instincts are strong. You’ve been making many of the decisions, and you may now crave input from someone you trust. You can feel inspired by healthy levels of cooperation and a spirit of sharing and learning. Connecting with others tends to be positive, but there can be some confusion surrounding opinions, transportation, or directions later today. It may be best not to pin your hopes on promises just for now, as fuzzy thinking can get in the way of accurate assessments. Aim to take note of new ideas and enjoy entertaining possibilities, but wait to put projects into motion. Letting go of the need to define things and for definite answers can be wise right now. Be patient with yourself and others.

Libra

Smooth and flowing daily routines will ultimately help you achieve your goals, dear Libra, and today’s Moon reminds you to pay more attention to these themes. Your excitement about your projects is notable now, even with some ambiguous energy later today as Mercury heads into a minor challenging aspect to Neptune. There may be a desire to clarify your position with someone, a sense that you need to spell out what you want so others understand your needs, or a general feeling that you can’t read others’ intentions properly now. Even so, you might make a connection with someone through your understanding, observant, and perceptive manner. In fact, it may be best to save very important discussions for a clearer time.

Scorpio

You’re inclined to tune into the rhythms of an easy pace today, dear Scorpio, with the Moon continuing its transit of your solar sector devoted to play, theatrics, self-expression, creativity, recreation, and romance. You may be seeking special ways to enjoy or express yourself. While later today can hold some confusing energy, if you aim to stay flexible, it can be quite enjoyable. Sharing ideas with others is fruitful. You can have a simultaneous desire to know the truth of a matter and a need to maintain a dream or idealized image. You may very well need a breather from overthinking things! Consider writing creatively or discussing non-material topics with others to better understand your current path and where you stand with others.

Sagittarius

The Moon spends all day in your self-protective sector of home and family today, dear Sagittarius, and you’re in processing mode! You might quite enjoy some quiet, and planetary energies active now make it easy to go with the flow. It can be a good time for taking a breather from too much thinking and analyzing. You can feel excited about your ideas and projects, but it’s the attention to realities, facts, and figures that feels draining now. You might have a hard time putting in the effort or committing yourself to the moment later today, or others’ responses can be confusing. Wait it out, as it’s temporary.

Capricorn

A generally cooperative feel to the day lifts your spirits, dear Capricorn, and it can also boost your desire to socialize. Pleasant exchanges are likely now, and while energies are not obviously productive for the time being, taking a break from overthinking may be just what you need. As the day advances, a minor challenging aspect comes into effect, which can point to a tendency to misconstrue or draw the wrong conclusions. People can be friendly but noncommittal, and while you may be seeking stronger responses, your ability to keep things open can lead to more personal enjoyment and less frustration now. It’s an excellent week for taking note of creative ideas and information coming your way.

Aquarius

With the Moon in your resources sector all day, dear Aquarius, you may be thinking about ways to improve your disposable income or to enjoy and make full use of what you have. While it’s a strong day for creative thinking, as the day advances, some vagueness is likely. Someone could be wavering, due to a lack of confidence or the lack of presence of mind to make a firm decision. It may be best if you don’t get caught up in the idea that you’ll reach clear conclusions today, as definitive answers and commitments may be hard to come by temporarily. The important thing is that you recognize the areas needing improvement. Give yourself a break from overthinking the details.

Pisces

The Moon spends all day in your sign, dear Pisces, motivating you to start anew on an emotional level. You’re seeing the world through new eyes in some manner now, and it can be refreshing. You could have flashes of inspiration that ultimately help you to solve problems. As the day advances, it may be best to avoid pinning your hopes on arriving at reliable conclusions. Today is more about inspiration and creativity than attention to the details, and you need these kinds of days as much as you need those times of increased practical intelligence. Misunderstandings can lead to unnecessary drama, however, so you may want to make sure you’re particularly clear with directions and instructions.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 11th:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).
