Horoscopes
Aries
You are very much going your own way when it comes to ideas and decisions, dear Aries, and you can be very excited about your personal interests or projects today, feeling on top of things. Today’s energies are in and out, however. On the one hand, you can feel particularly motivated to get things done, and you can have ideas you’re anxious to put in motion. On the other, there can be some vague discontent or mental laziness. Your mind can wander when you need it to stay put the most! It may be best to avoid firm plans as you may very well change your mind once you really get to think about it. Old issues that you thought were behind you might emerge and occupy your thoughts. Keeping things open, if this is possible, may lead to a more enjoyable day.
Taurus
You’re feeling stable yet inspired on business and practical levels today, dear Taurus. Creative ideas about how to manage, handle, or increase your resources, personal possessions, or money can be in the offing now. However, a Mercury-Neptune minor challenge can point to some misunderstandings, particularly with friends. You’re typically excellent at smoothing things over when such things happen, and this skill comes in handy now so that nobody has to make mountains out of molehills. Be patient and focus on exciting new ventures. The Moon’s move into your adventure sector today is a feel-good one. You’re in the mood for a change — perhaps it’s only about the scenery or the pace for emotional refreshment. You’ll thoroughly enjoy learning new things today.
Gemini
The creative side of you is robust today, dear Gemini, and you’ll want to take action rather than simply imagine what you want to do in the future. Friends, associates, and networks add value to your life in more distinct ways than usual. Hands-on activities fare especially well, and so do ideas and ventures that allow you to socialize, create, and invent. Someone could put in a good word for you or can be an advocate for your work or ideas. Your personality tends to lead, and you get noticed now. While you’re cooperative in a group setting, you’re also standing out. There can be surprises related to friends. However, your ruler, Mercury, forms a minor challenging aspect with Neptune, pointing to some possible misunderstandings or a feeling of being out of sync. Watch for blurred lines in the practical world. Do your best to avoid making unclear or vague statements. The Moon moves into your intimacy sector today, pointing to a deeper need for involvement in a project or relationship.
Cancer
There can be a pleasant feeling of camaraderie or cooperation today, dear Cancer. Differences of opinion seem a little easier to take if you approach them from a mental plane rather than an emotional one. You can feel quite passionate about a project or end goal and motivated to improve. Putting your principles to work can be satisfying, or volunteering or supporting others can be rewarding today. While it may very well be out of your control, there is a possibility that you unwittingly misrepresent yourself, either by keeping quiet about something when you should speak up, by withholding information, or by communicating vaguely. It’s minor but worth noting. Focus on those things that you can change or affect rather than worrying about missed opportunities.
Leo
You can feel inspired by healthy levels of cooperation today, dear Leo, and a spirit of sharing and learning that surrounds you. You tend to take the lead in a group setting, but you’re open to entertaining others’ ideas. With decreased focus on the self and more concentration on the team or group, you meet with the most success today. You may be seen as a pioneer when it comes to your ideas. This can be a time for a renewed friendship or connection. You’re feeling friendly and open now, and this can help you rise above some issues of misunderstanding likely present today. Connecting with others tends to be positive, but there can be some confusion surrounding opinions, transportation, or directions. It may be best not to pin your hopes on promises made now.
Virgo
This is a positive time for work matters, management, cooperation, and relationships with people above your post, dear Virgo. The ability to see the bigger design or long-term plans helps you form excellent strategies. You are going your own way when it comes to career or goals, and it works well for you now. Your excitement about your projects is notable now, even with some ambiguous energy today as Mercury, your ruler, forms a minor challenging aspect to Neptune. There can be a need to clarify your position with a partner, a sense that you need to spell out what you want for others to 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.
Libra
There can be a nice spirit of cooperation and positivity with you today, dear Libra, and although the day does contain some possibly confusing energy, if you aim to stay flexible, it can be quite enjoyable. Sharing ideas with others is fruitful. You can be particularly motivated to get out and about or to enjoy shared activities. Debates tend to be entertaining and even enlightening rather than frustrating. You may reach an understanding or agreement about a matter or a cause you feel strongly about. A Mercury-Neptune aspect can point to 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 doing some creative writing or discussing non-material topics with others. Doing so can help you get a better understanding of your current path and where you stand with others.
Scorpio
This can be a good time for taking a breather from too much thinking and analyzing, dear Scorpio. Even so, you can feel passionately about your ideas and projects – it’s the attention to realities, facts, and figures that feels draining now. You can be pleasantly involved in research or a passion project. This can be a real time for gaining new insight into important people in your life, although this is not likely to happen in a direct manner as people are not particularly clear in their communications today. Instead, observation tends to get you to the right conclusions now. If you’re feeling a little drained or blocked creatively, slow down and do something different or seek out a change of scenery. This way, the information you seek or need is likely to come organically when you least expect it. Making connections with people who can help advance your goals or steer you in the right direction is possible now.
Sagittarius
There can be a sense of excitement about a person or cause now, dear Sagittarius, or a person in your life inspires you to improve, grow, or reach towards a goal you previously felt was out of reach. Even with this good feeling of connection, a Mercury-Neptune minor challenging aspect active today can point to some 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 time to take note of creative ideas and information coming your way, as there can be the chance to connect with a person or information that steers you in the direction of improvement and positive change.
Capricorn
You’ll feel particularly comfortable with the energy of objectivity and cooperation in the first half of the day, dear Capricorn, as it relates to areas of life that have been to some extent up in the air. Your work, home life, and domestic affairs benefit from strategic planning, and positive actions meant to improve these areas of life. This is a welcome wind of change. However, it’s important that 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 just for now. The important thing is that you recognize where you should head and areas that need improvement. Give yourself a break from overthinking the details and instead experiment and play with your options. The Moon moves into your sign shortly after the day officially begins, and this motivates 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.
Aquarius
Shared activities and collaboration are favored today, dear Aquarius, although it’s important to avoid pinning your hopes on getting to reliable conclusions now. 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 practical intelligence. Misunderstandings hold the potential for unnecessary drama today, so you may want to make sure you’re particularly clear with directions and instructions. Honor your emotional needs as much as possible now. There can be a good connection made now, or information that comes in that helps you put ideas into action. Even though teamwork is likely to do well today, the Moon moves into your privacy sector, and you need a break from demanding situations. It’s a natural time of the month for pulling back a little from mainstream activities and finding extra time to reflect, muse, and rest.
Pisces
There can be positive progress around the home, with business, or towards the goal of greater security, dear Pisces. However, the day’s energies favor inspiration and imagination more than they do attention to detail, so keep your options open and experiment with different ideas and approaches before settling on something definitive for best results now. A partner may be not as mentally or emotionally present as you’d like today, or you have a general sense that pushing for answers and commitments is unwise for the time being. Information coming in or people you meet can help you along financial or practical lines, but the big decisions should probably wait for a clearer time.

We can feel energized and inspired creatively at this time, ready to fight for something we believe in. We find it easier to assert ourselves and our desires.
Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH STRONG
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.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
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 14th:
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).
