Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You’re braver, more courageous, and sometimes quite tense with Mars in your sign these days, dear Aries. Today, its minor challenging aspect can point to frustrations unless you decide to pace yourself and take breaks from the action, whether this is mental or physical. Think of creative ways to pursue your desires, and be kind to yourself if you’ve been doing too much. You might recognize the need to let go of certain things cluttering your life, especially as the day advances, and clearing things out can be liberating. With Venus and Uranus heading into alignment, you can feel a strong desire to start fresh, approach things differently, and make changes and improvements. Your tastes can be out of the ordinary, or you can feel overcome by a desire to do or experience something new. Indeed, if old methods aren’t satisfying, it’s time to shake things up a little.

Taurus

You may need to reassess the time or energy required to put into your goals and plans, dear Taurus. The temptation is to push something, but the timing is off today. Adjust your expectations to judge what your endeavors require more realistically. Your Jupiter confidence can sometimes leave you vulnerable to overshooting or expecting too much from yourself too soon. And, with Mars in your privacy sector, you’re not always as energetic as you’d like, so the physical and mental planes don’t always match well. There can be some doubting or questioning of your direction, alliances, or current path now. Resolve to make adjustments and avoid dwelling on the negative. Pausing to understand yourself and your goals makes sense now. Later today, a craving for more variety may steer you in exciting new directions. An upcoming Venus-Uranus alignment in your sign points to incredible personal appeal and a feeling of freshness and invigoration. There can be surprises related to work or love.

Gemini

You can feel a clash or conflict between your desire to tuck yourself away and enjoy emotional space and your need to connect and team up today, dear Gemini. There is some tendency to get excited about something too soon (before you’ve clinched it), which may lead to small disappointments. Whether to take a leap or keep to yourself can be the dilemma now. A lot of attention may be directed to past events and relationships. Something from your past can interfere with the present in your social or romantic life. Start small and break out of your comfort zone to avoid lost opportunities. Indecision can be maddening, but while actions taken can be ill-timed, as you get into better touch with your intuition as the day advances, you’re quick to turn this around. You’ll gravitate more naturally to the right things, people, or situations that help you move forward. The key is distinguishing between a genuine need for change and rebellious feelings.

Cancer

Areas of your life that need an update stick out today, dear Cancer. There can be a tendency to misjudge the amount of energy or time required to get something done, which can lead to some impatience if people are not necessarily answering questions you’re asking or taking their time when you want to move quickly. Unexpected developments or built-up resentment may need to be dealt with now, but keep in mind that it’s important how you release excess energy and how you handle others who are doing the same. If handled well, it can lead to greater independence and empowerment. Venus heads toward an alignment with Uranus as the day advances, enlivening your interactions. Friendships can bring surprises, or you could see a friend in a new light. It’s an excellent time for exploration on a social level or with new ideas, dreams, and plans.

Leo

There is a tendency to misjudge how much you are capable of doing today, dear Leo. Watch for agreeing to something in the future that you can regret later. You’re particularly inclined to overshoot with schedules, studies, and your career. Make plans, but allow for distractions or a little more time to prepare yourself. Consider that timing tends to be a little choppy. Venus and Uranus are heading to alignment at the top of your solar chart, pointing to some excitement, change, and stimulation with work, business relationships, or your image, status, or reputation. Bosses, another higher-up, or the public, in general, might see you in a special light, appreciating your unique qualities. Your creativity can be on show in some way now.

Virgo

With Mars and Jupiter in a minor challenging aspect today, dear Virgo, great moods are possible, but they’ll be more reliable and steady if you keep expectations reasonable. Trouble comes from overshooting. Living in the present and enjoying what you have can help keep restlessness at bay, although pushing yourself a little can be just fine. You may be craving something more from life but only spinning your wheels. As the day advances, however, it’s easier to recognize — and own — your need for change. A Venus-Uranus alignment in your adventure and spirit sector facilitates getting in touch with what works best for you. You are awakening to new ideas, interests, or experiences that encourage you to live more spiritedly. You’re also expressing yourself particularly well. Fantastic energy is with you for social or cultural events and studies.

Libra

Tricky issues you could be dealing with now are matters of personal boundaries and the sharing of responsibilities or power in a relationship, dear Libra. Novelty may be wearing off on recent endeavors, but this actually puts you into a better position to see what will stay and what will go. Releasing tension today is especially important, as you can sometimes take on far too much pressure. As the day advances, you’re turning your attention to areas of life that could use some change, updates, and a more progressive approach. The sudden urge to push boundaries can figure strongly. Intimate relationships or feelings are likely to heat up suddenly, or this is a time when you awaken to feelings you’ve buried or denied. Keep an open mind and heart and see where they lead you. You may need to pull yourself out of your comfort zone a little to get what you want or deserve, but the results can be fantastic. It’s a time for being bold about taking care of yourself and your needs, but it may be best to save the more significant decisions for a time when you’ve processed your feelings.

Scorpio

With Mars in your work and health sector these days, dear Scorpio, you can go at your work or daily routines enthusiastically, but sometimes you can push yourself a little too hard or take costly shortcuts. Today, try not to overdo things, but if it’s possible, release pent-up frustrations through gentle physical activity. Watch also for falling back into old patterns of relating, as relationships need a fresh approach right now. You can find it difficult to tolerate tedium today, and inner restlessness can stimulate you to push boundaries. While this can feel irritating this morning, you’re inclined to roll with it as the day advances. An upcoming alignment of Venus with Uranus in your partnership sector can stir things up today. This influence allows you to embrace and enjoy changes or fresh, new approaches, particularly in your relationships. You might attract people who bring change into your life. This can be a time of spontaneous activities and intense or sudden attractions.

Sagittarius

Watch for jumping to conclusions or taking unnecessary risks today, dear Sagittarius. Be gentle on yourself by avoiding rushing matters to a quick conclusion due to impatience. Look for things that are holding you back from progress in your job or with your routines and health pursuits. This is an excellent period in general for these things, and it makes sense to find ways to unblock impediments to opportunities. The need for change becomes evident as the day advances. You have a taste for something different, unique, and exciting. You’ll see where life can use some significant tweaking. A breakthrough in a relationship or with a work or health method is possible now as you open yourself to new approaches. Alternatively, you may meet someone special through the pursuit of your daily routines, health, wellness, or work. Tap into your intuition regarding making changes, as it’s trying to tell you something. Be sure you are choosing rather than reacting when you make decisions.

Capricorn

You are looking forward, dear Capricorn, feeling quite good about your home life and creative or romantic matters. However, your enthusiasm can cause you to overshoot just a little. Be quick to bounce back. If others are not exceptionally reliable now, you can choose to adapt and make the best of things. If you’ve been sitting on feelings that need release, they’ll likely find a channel for expression later today. Venus and Uranus are heading into alignment in your romance and creativity sector, inspiring you to make changes. Love can bring surprises or buried emotions awaken. You may need to lay to rest some aspects of your past if they’re no longer serving you well. This transit helps you detach just enough to enjoy yourself more fully. There can be romantic or creative excitement, and you might capture the attention of people who haven’t noticed you previously.

Aquarius

With Mars and Jupiter in a minor challenging aspect, restlessness might pose a small problem, dear Aquarius. There could be tensions with your daily affairs and on the home front as you try to juggle too much. Energy levels might fluctuate. It’s important to pace yourself and avoid impulsive decisions for the best results today. As the day advances, a Venus-Uranus alignment comes into influence, and it can help you tap into your intuition. Your focus is forward-looking, and while getting rid of something you no longer need can feel slightly uncomfortable, it might also feel liberating. The need for more oomph in your personal life or routines is real. Excitement in your sector of roots, home, and family can prompt a spontaneous activity, whim, or decision to make spirited changes and improvements to your personal life. This can be a lively time for home improvement or for an open spirit with loved ones that encourages a fresh new approach to relating.

Pisces

Today, dear Pisces, you may feel a sense of restlessness and discontent. This is a natural part of life’s journey, and it’s best to delay making commitments or communicating something especially important to you. Instead, focus on keeping your expectations in check and dreaming up something creative. Ideas for making money may be abundant, but be mindful of your spending. Be open to the delightful surprises that others may bring to your life. This is a day to keep your ears open, as you may hear something that inspires you to make essential changes. Your personal magnetism can skyrocket as the day advances, with Venus heading into alignment with Uranus. You are ready to start fresh, turn a corner, try new things, and approach your relationships differently. This can be an excellent time to come up with an inspired idea or compelling new interest. Be empowered to embrace the potential for pleasant surprises or even new friendships that can result from short trips, errands, and learning pursuits. You might get the chance to open up a dialogue with a sibling, relative, fellow student, or neighbor.

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.

We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 17th:

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).
