Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You are more likely to be the one who takes charge in the coming days amid a flurry of activity, dear Aries, as you seem to be the grounded one right now. With a New Moon occurring in your solar second house, you receive wonderful energy for improving your finances and tending to your personal possessions over the coming days. The impulse to buy something can be sudden and should probably be tamed just for now, until you get a plan in place. Ideas, and especially money-making ones, come to you with force and passion. Receive and enjoy these ideas, and then sort them out patiently as you go along. This can be the start of something very special! This New Moon is about your earning power, comfort, and sense of security. It’s strong for intuition, particularly with your finances, income, personal resources, valuables, and self-worth. It’s time for a fresh start with issues of usefulness, respect, and stability, and you’re likely to feel encouraged, inspired, and determined to make positive changes. Also today, you can be motivated to pursue a desire that you’ve blocked in the past. The bottom line is that you’re especially emotionally brave today, perhaps also inspiring others who readily follow your lead. You can benefit from getting a handle on tricky or vulnerable areas of your life. You can sometimes be a little impatient with Mars in your sign, especially since others may not be catching on as quickly as you are. Even so, you are very willing to make things work. It’s best to be as honest with yourself as possible right now.

Taurus

With a New Moon in your sign occurring today, dear Taurus, it’s the time for personal new beginnings. What you’d like to change, improve, or initiate is in your hands. You’re suddenly more noticeable and “out there,” and it’s a good time to ride this energy well. It’s also a time for personal re-invention. You are always in charge of your destiny, but in the days ahead, you’ll feel it more. Confidence comes across well; excessive preoccupation with yourself doesn’t! People believe in you, and this only serves to motivate you further to present the best version of yourself. This New Moon is about your manner, approach to the world, personal image, independence, and attitude or outlook. You’re encouraged, inspired, determined, and hopeful, and bringing these attitudes into the world. A sense of purpose or mission and the drive for results combine to offer you considerable focus. The desire to heal and move on is strong; fortunately, it’s a real possibility. It’s a perfect time to focus on dealing with long-standing problems or attitudes that have held you back.

Gemini

Today’s New Moon comes as a gentle push to put the past behind you with solid plans, actions, or even symbolic actions, dear Gemini. You’re tying up loose ends or dealing with secrets, private matters, and karma. It’s time to clean the slate, and you get solid support for doing so — you’re likely to feel both inspired and determined. There is much going on behind the scenes or in the background in your life with this New Moon. Aim to listen to your inner voice! You can feel emotionally equipped not only to accept but also to embrace change and progress. This might align with a form of retreat in a social sense or can point to increased soul-searching and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind. Consider ways to nourish or replenish yourself both on emotional and physical levels now. You’re motivated to overcome obstacles, heal vulnerable areas, and take action to fix things today. Energies are powerful for resolving any fears or resentments you or a friend might have been feeling–it’s a fine time to recognize and address problem areas.

Cancer

Your sense of belonging to something bigger than yourself can be in focus now, dear Cancer. Today’s New Moon challenges you to start fresh with your social life, networks, involvement with others or the community, contributions, and attention to happiness goals. It’s a time that awakens yearnings for kinship, friendship, and involvement on the soul level. You may be taking care of others or seeking support. This can also be a time for planting seeds for future goals and dreams. You have more power and opportunity to make a difference with others or to make an impact in your social circle or community. You can gain some forward momentum and motivation from long-term projects that invigorate and excite you. Personal opportunities can emerge through friends, networks, or groups. You can get to the very root of problems today, particularly those related to pursuing your goals and performing at your best. While it can involve some discomfort, it’s a perfect time for moving toward resolutions.

Leo

A New Moon today clears the path for new beginnings on professional fronts, dear Leo, or with your responsibilities and reputation. You can feel re-energized and ready to take charge. You might choose to focus on improving your reputation, public standing, or professional relationships as you advance. There can be a need for more self-discipline, and fortunately, this is a little easier than usual, as you’re feeling more ambitious than usual. There may be recognition for your work and efforts. A new plan can unfold in the days or the week ahead, and it can fill you with high hopes and a sense of purpose. Others’ vision of who you are does impact your life, possibly more than you know, and now is a time for understanding the specifics of this. Also today, you might recognize something that’s held you back, and you now want to release yourself from it. With a Mars-Chiron alignment, you could face a truth, or a belief is challenged, and either way, you’re growing and learning. You can become aware of your deeper desires, and events can trigger your vulnerabilities, which is revealing.

Virgo

Today’s New Moon brings a fresh start to your life, dear Virgo, and it may launch an opportunity period for expanding your experiences and understanding your life’s purpose. It’s an inspired time when you seek new ideas or develop your opinions and personal philosophy. You might ponder the meaning of life more often and reach out to share your thoughts with others. Breaking out of limiting habits and routines can be almost as important to you as breaking into unexplored territory. Either way, you’re feeling refreshed. Your quest to learn and grow is strong, and you may very well meet with people who introduce you to new lifestyles or concepts, or your studies and interests can take you somewhere exotic on a mental level. You can be feeling particularly enthusiastic and excited about new beginnings and fresh starts. Steps towards understanding and overcoming problem areas can be big ones today. The desire to get over something is strong, and you can feel quite accomplished if you do manage to get over a hump. The process can involve self-honesty and perhaps a little discomfort.

Libra

With the Sun in your intimacy sector these days, dear Libra, your attention to your inner world and the mysteries of life has increased. Today, a New Moon occurs in this sector and can serve as a nudge to make improvements and take charge of matters! This house of your solar chart rules many of the things that go on behind closed doors or deep inside of you. Your need or desire for more intimacy and closeness, passion projects to throw yourself into, or self-understanding can intensify now, prompting you to take action. An event might open your eyes to the need to handle debts or shared resources more effectively, or to pay particular attention to an intimate relationship or your need for a deep connection to something or someone. New beginnings along these lines are likely in the coming week. This is a time for inner discovery. It’s also an excellent time to become more aware of any negative or undermining dependencies you may have on others and things. New insights can be intensely revealing, particularly about money, love, or intimacy. You’re emotionally brave and recognizing problem areas right now, and this attitude puts you on the road to healing and improvement. You’re getting in touch with your desires or even anger through your interactions these days, and you’re learning a lot about yourself through others. Ideally, someone is encouraging you to get in touch with your power.

Scorpio

A New Moon occurs in your partnership sector today, dear Scorpio, prompting a fresh start or new beginning related to your relationships. Partnering, negotiations, a sense of balance in your life, and perspective are the themes of this lunation. You could reach for new or refined goals related to a partnership, and you can feel both inspired and determined. You might find yourself in higher demand than usual. It’s a busier time of year for involvement in others’ lives as well as an opportunity period for building your people and negotiation skills. Someone significant in your life could add a fun dose of excitement to your life. You’re likely to feel that you’re progressing or improving, and this sense serves as a powerful motivator across the board. Your insight into problem areas is excellent right now. Today’s Mars-Chiron alignment encourages you to face your feelings, and it’s an important process. An important discovery can lead to a greater understanding of a problem or disability. If problems have been brewing with daily routines, your work, or your working environment, you’re now strongly motivated to change things up.

Sagittarius

Themes now are strong for discovering alternative ways to heal and mend, dear Sagittarius. For one, today’s well-supported New Moon helps you start fresh with work, health, routines, wellness, and good habits. Circumstances are such that you’re inspired and motivated to begin anew with your health and wellness, physical healing, your job or chores, daily affairs, routines, or pets. There can be new projects, jobs, priorities, and tasks to manage in the coming days or weeks. Inner stirrings can prompt a new approach to work and health, or a desire for something new in your routines. This can be an opportunity period for building better, more satisfying systems in your life. Avoid beginning too quickly, aiming to pace yourself. For another, a Mars-Chiron alignment can motivate you to write, create, or work on a pet project. Taking a creative or emotional risk may be a drive, but it can also be something you’ve recently been avoiding or anxious about. Inspiration or even frustration can push you to want to resolve a long-standing problem. You find yourself in situations that motivate you to chase what makes your heart happy instead of mainly focusing on helping others find their joy, which is something you’ve been doing a lot of recently.

Capricorn

Today’s New Moon harmonizes with your sign, dear Capricorn, and it energizes your desire to create, share, and enjoy yourself. Occurring in a sector of your solar chart that rules romance, celebrations, entertainment, creativity, children, hobbies, and pastimes, it’s about fresh starts in any of these areas. It can be a passionate time for you, or it can be about rediscovering old passions and bringing them back to life. You may discover different ways of expressing yourself and channels for sharing or publishing your creations, ideas, and work. This New Moon brings a spirit of newness and enthusiasm to your romantic and creative sector. You’re cleaning the slate and starting over. Also today, you seem to be able to identify areas of vulnerability and then take steps towards releasing frustration.

Aquarius

Today’s New Moon brings fresh energy for new beginnings in your home, family life, or personal life, dear Aquarius. The mood today is on the intense side, and this can help to bring down normal barriers. New insights or inner stirrings can be revealing! You can make great strides with honesty, respect, and concern. If you want to make changes on the home front, whether it’s literally in your home or with your domestic routines, if it’s about family relationships, or even about your relationship with your inner self, this is the cycle for doing so. You’re likely to feel the need, whether you plan it or not, and it’s about taking charge of your personal life. This New Moon is about your personal life, inner world, and sense of safety. You can connect with the need for a safety net, comfort, familiarity, and nurture. Today can also be good for releasing pent-up troubles if you’ve recently felt impatient or frustrated with communications, daily life, or mechanical things. You may be thinking quite intently about unresolved issues, and now you have the motivation to find solutions!

Pisces

Today’s New Moon can prompt a fresh start or approach to learning, sharing, and connecting, dear Pisces. There could be new or improved channels opening up for you to get around, reach out, and communicate. This lunation is wonderfully supportive of your projects, outlook, and attitude. It launches a favorable cycle for learning, developing interests, making contacts, and exploring different communication channels. There can be better mental rapport with others, and you could be taking care of daily tasks with increased and renewed energy. If you feel unsettled in these areas of your life, know it’s time to make changes and take charge. With a Mars-Chiron alignment also occurring today, you can feel more and more passionate about your plans. It can be a good time to release frustrations through physical activities that help you heal. If people are making you feel defensive today, take the opportunity to understand the vulnerabilities they’re triggering.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 16th:

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).
