Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon spends the full day in your spirit and adventure sector, dear Aries, and this suggests a craving for engaging experiences and a break from the routine or a change of scenery. The Moon meets up with Saturn in this sector today, however, and this can point to a block or responsibility that gets in the way of exploration, whether this is a mental or physical adventure. This can be a good time, however, for doing some serious learning, studying, or thinking. Attempts to increase your knowledge or apply it can be particularly effective, especially if you are learning things hands-on through trial and error, for example. What you’re learning these days can be integral to the direction you take later this year and next. Also today, you may get on the same page with a special person in your life regarding beliefs, ideas, and ideals.
Taurus
The Moon spends the day in your intimacy sector, dear Taurus, and you’re inclined to take things a little more seriously than usual, especially with Saturn also in this area of your solar chart. You may be able to get the bottom of a problem, or you could pour a lot of energy into something you love doing. However, a block or responsibility can get in the way of doing what you enjoy. Nevertheless, you are in the right frame of mind for making sensible decisions. Facing reality or dealing with a block can ultimately move you on a path towards making improvements and getting yourself together or life back on track. There can be memories of frustrating or unresolved matters from your past, but don’t let these things rule your mood. Do let them motivate you to kick a bad habit or change your life in positive ways, however!
Gemini
The Moon spends the day in the sign opposite yours, dear Gemini, which means it’s transiting your partnership sector or house of “others.” This turns your attention to close relationships and areas of life that have fallen out of balance. In fact, it’s a good time to learn a few things through your interactions with a significant other, whether this is a direct or indirect “lesson”! The Moon’s alignment with Saturn today suggests that you’ll be in a far better frame of mind if you fill duties and commitments rather than evade them. You might enjoy a happy agreement with a partner or friend or conversations that please you and make you feel hopeful for the future. We tend to respond to others better on a mental level than an emotional one with the energies of the day. As such, today favors a mature, forthright approach in your dealings.
Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your sector of routine, habits, health, and work, dear Cancer, and you’re in the right frame of mind for attention to the systems and programs in place in your life that keep things running smoothly. The Moon meets Saturn in this sector, and this points to an emotional need to get on top of your everyday affairs. Taking care of unfinished work or getting back on track with a self-care or wellness program can be satisfying and even soothing now. You’ll be in better shape if you focus on the details or finer points of a plan rather than attempting to envision or imagine the end goal or larger picture. Conversations can lead to new ideas or methods of getting things done that are empowering.
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your creativity sector, dear Leo, and there can be a great need for recreation and leisure. However, your idea of relaxation these days can be most others’ idea of hard work! The Moon meets with responsible Saturn in this sector of your chart, and while you may be facing a block or delay that keeps you from doing the things you enjoy, it’s highly likely that you’re attracted to spending time doing productive things, finding it soothing and satisfying. You can have great success working on a creative project or refining a skill, studying, or adding structure or form to a project. It’s, in fact, a great time for design work. You might enjoy adding details, refining, editing, or otherwise going over your projects with thoroughness.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your protective solar fourth house, dear Virgo, stimulating your needs for safety, security, and familiarity. The Moon’s meet-up with Saturn suggests that you may not be able to completely unwind today as responsibilities, delays, or blocks can stand in your way. However, accepting the idea that you have some work to do before you can relax is rather easy for your sign, and you’re likely to make the most of matters. Attention to home and family is important now, but be sure to avoid doing so to the point of feeling burdened, as you need some rest and comfort now. Recoup and gather strength rather than exhaust yourself or scatter your energies now for best results. Because you’re more sensitive than usual, gravitate towards positive or calming atmospheres.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Libra, aligning with serious Saturn there and harmonizing with Mercury and Uranus in your partnership sector. This can serve as a healthy reminder of your responsibilities or the need to take care of your everyday affairs, as much as you’d prefer to socialize or pursue your personal interests. However, with a bit of compromise, you may be able to do both. A bit of self-discipline can go a long way today. There can be something very useful to learn through your communications or through information/news that comes in. You can benefit from learning valuable skills or tricks that have a long-term positive impact. Traditional approaches to your work or projects are favored most now, but innovative thinking or updates to your methods are still very likely. Look for ways to organize your life in key ways for the most success today.
Scorpio
You are likely to derive more satisfaction than usual from getting your practical affairs in order today, dear Scorpio. In fact, this makes you feel very secure. Today is excellent for giving thought to how you can improve your work or income, and conversations about your practical affairs or the information you come across now can be helpful along these lines. Today’s energies favor straightforward, moderate moves rather than bold ones. Luckily, that’s exactly your frame of mind. Troubles with money or concerns about long-term security can be met with realism, and a step-by-step approach to resolving problems makes the most sense and is particularly reassuring today.
Sagittarius
The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Sagittarius, and there continues to be a pleasing focus on your emotional needs. Even so, there can be some tendency to harp on emotional restrictions today. With the Moon and Saturn meeting up in your sign, your duties, limits, or responsibilities can move to the front burner. However, this is a great day for taking care of your obligations, and you can have a bit of fun with this process with the support of Mercury and Uranus in your creativity sector — this boosts your confidence and points to vibrant, lively communications. You’re in particularly good shape for shared activities with someone special. A partner or friend may help you get to a creative idea.
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in the sign behind yours, dear Capricorn, and this can serve as a layer of anonymity or a desire/need to lay low and recharge your batteries on an emotional level. Aim to get rid of extra mental “clutter” now. You are in a better position than usual to identify those things that may be undermining your happiness as your observational skills are excellent. The Moon’s meet up with Saturn, your ruler, nudges you to consider your obligations, but it can also serve to remind you of your limits or current challenges. Focusing on others can be rewarding, particularly if you are helping out or supportive in some significant way. Family or home life can be lively and helpful. There is nice energy with you for talking things through with loved ones.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your friendship sector, dear Aquarius, and this stimulates a desire to be around accepting or like-minded people. Alternatively, it can point to a focus on positive goals, dreams, and wishes. The Moon aligns with Saturn, and this serves to fuel your need to be productive. Although responsibilities or restrictions can seem a little heavy now, you’re quick to pull yourself out of a funk and do what needs to get done. Avoid waiting for others to figure out what you need and instead look for ways to express your wants or desires. People seem most cooperative today if you’re straightforward in this way. With the Moon in your social sector and the Sun in your comfortable, “play it safe” fourth house, you could be feeling a little divided about what you want to do with your energies today. However, you’ll find that talking and connecting comes easily and is soothing. You’re likely to enjoy following up on a brainwave or personal interest.
Pisces
The Moon spends the day at the top of your chart, dear Pisces, and particularly with its alignment with Saturn in this house, your responsibilities and performance are high on your list of concerns. In fact, you may feel that there are more eyes on you than usual – people notice what you do and don’t do, and it’s hard to escape attention! This can motivate you to do your best or to put more pride into what you’re doing. It’s a good time to check in with your goals and ambitions and assess where you may have gone off track. Identifying your priorities helps you get into a clearer frame of mind. While there is good energy for innovative ideas and conversations, generally speaking, today is better for following the rules and taking things step by step.

WATER WEAK

BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
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 13th:
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).
