Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Mercury, the planet of communication, aligns with Uranus in your communications sector today, dear Aries, just after it moves into this area of your solar chart. You can be unusually talkative and animated, and it’s a great time for new ideas or spins on a situation. You can benefit from some mental refreshment now. Certainly, you’re inclined to jump from topic to topic, and could be misunderstood as a result. While you should avoid rushing things, the mental excitement and stimulation around you today are invigorating. It’s a time of exciting news or breakthrough thinking, and you can be enthusiastic about current interests, studies, and ventures. Communications are fun and revealing. Open your eyes to a potential new interest or channel for learning and communicating now. Bonds can strengthen through the sharing of a dream or goal. Fortunately, a Venus-Chiron transit is also in play today, helping open your heart and put fears behind you. People see and appreciate your unique qualities. Your communications shine as your words help heal and replenish. There is an appealing openness to your self-expression, and your powers of attraction subtly lift. Willingness to listen is part of this.

Taurus

Mercury moves out of your sign and into your solar second house today, dear Taurus, and Mercury aligns with Uranus. This Mercury-Uranus alignment can detach you just enough that you put something you no longer need behind you, and it’s refreshing! It’s useful for moving you forward. Ideas can come to you suddenly or in great flashes now. Conversations are exciting, different, and forward-focused. Money and business matters can be given greater focus, and breakthrough thinking can center on them. Experimenting with new ideas can be fun and a great mental exercise now. There is a good chance you come up with a very unique and progressive money-making scheme, or gain insight that leads you to approach your finances in a fresh, new way. There can also be good negotiating and partnering experiences now. Your powers of attraction run high, and comforting activities help you heal. It’s a good time to uncover hidden gems or untapped resources. You can have unique insights with money, personal possessions, and business.

Gemini

Mercury moves into your sign today, dear Gemini, where it will transit until June 1st. Today, Mercury meets Uranus, helping you worry less about problems and tune into potential opportunities. It’s an excellent time to generate ideas or spark interest in a new topic. Your desire for more independence and spontaneity is strong, and you want to express yourself freely or get things off your chest! You might turn over a new leaf on a mental level. There can be a learning breakthrough or a satisfying resolution to a problem. As well, a Venus-Chiron aspect puts you in good form for inspiring confidence. This transit boosts your appeal and magnetism, helping you break through problems or put issues to rest. Friends can be helpful and reassuring, or your social life/network seems more supportive. Others might trust you more than usual.

Cancer

Today’s Mercury-Uranus alignment powers you up on a mental level, dear Cancer. While Mercury heads into your private solar twelfth house, this transit stirs up some excitement. New information can surface, or you can have sudden insight into how to put something behind you. You might arrive at an idea that completes a picture of a matter, and it’s exciting. It’s an important day for understanding elements of the past that have prevented you from reaching your highest potential. Self-improvement activities are desirable now. Private information or a secret can also figure strongly. Your mind goes to places it usually doesn’t travel, and conversations may surprise you. Also today, a Venus-Chiron aspect can help you see that camaraderie is more important to you than being right, and that your words can have healing power. There can be a secret attraction or a stroke of good luck from behind the scenes. Special moments taken for yourself can be most satisfying and perhaps healing.

Leo

Today’s energies and communications spark new directions on a mental plane, dear Leo, and perhaps some exciting new ideas. Mercury moves into your solar eleventh house and joins forces with Uranus today, leading to interesting ideas and communications. Still, detaching or disengaging just a little can help you in surprising ways–stepping back from a problem enables you to visualize solutions. Listen to your intuition as you dream up new ways to pursue long-term happiness goals and novel methods or strategies. Unexpected contact or additional information can delight and surprise you. Collaborating or brainstorming can be particularly fruitful. This transit helps move you forward as an idea completes a plan or gets you to a conclusion or decision. Also today, a Venus-Chiron influence helps you enjoy yourself and make yourself useful at the same time. You’re in good shape for personal appeal, fun projects, and camaraderie. Feeling more comfortable and relaxed while expressing yourself can be a theme. Someone’s understanding or reinforcement of your beliefs and ideas can feel particularly pleasant.

Virgo

Ideas can inspire you, and great conversations can be in the spotlight today, dear Virgo. Mercury moves to the top of your solar chart for a stay until June 1st, and today, Mercury and Uranus align. You can benefit from zooming out and considering the bigger picture. There could be breakthrough thinking about a business, career, or long-term goal. Right now, you’re not content with the ordinary or familiar! This attitude can benefit you today, but do try to avoid overemphasizing this mental discontent–aim to use it to brighten your future and advance your goals. Interesting turns in your career are possible now. Ideas are fresh and exciting, and you may arrive at some genuinely novel solutions to problems. Also today, a Venus-Chiron aspect can help you prioritize life’s healing and compassionate moments. There can be positive reviews and possibly recognition for your ideas and advice. You might more deeply enjoy your work or absorbing activities, or you could draw in support or backing. You might enjoy developing strategies to reach your goals.

Libra

You might draw upon your natural wisdom and compassion to resolve a problem today, dear Libra. You might mediate a conflict, and your unique skills are appreciated and fully utilized. Your confidence is strong and building, and today’s Mercury-Uranus alignment is powerful for generating exciting new thinking. Interesting information may come your way. You could have a breakthrough on an intellectual level. Something you learn or a conversation about a philosophical or technical matter motivates you today. A conversation can lead to a turning point in a relationship or new insight into a belief or previously held opinion. Opinions can change suddenly as a result, and so can interests! This transit also helps move you forward, although it’s more about quick assessments and sudden ideas and insights than calculated moves. Also today, your planetary ruler, Venus, is in harmony with Chiron, and you attract warmth or encouragement. Others more readily put their faith in you, and you return the favor, which can have a magical effect on relationships. So can consciously avoiding defensiveness, as it can feel good to allow yourself to be a little vulnerable now.

Scorpio

Today’s transits boost your desire for personal adventures and for taking the time to explore your special interests, dear Scorpio. Clarity can come from a bit of mental detachment as Mercury and Uranus align. There can be news or ideas about your finances, debts, or attachments that are surprising and very useful to you. You’re ready to put a bad habit or draining element of the past behind you! The missing puzzle piece of a mystery can emerge, a revelation about an intimate relationship can come to the fore, or a sudden craving for more independence can come on now. You’re likely to feel excited, and others may find your ideas or insights fascinating. The potential for feeling wound up is also strong, so it’s best to watch for it, as it might interfere with breakthrough thinking. A Venus-Chiron influence also active today helps you attract support or interest and makes it relatively easy to find the information you need.

Sagittarius

Good energy is with you today for detaching and letting your mind wander in all the right ways, dear Sagittarius. A Mercury-Uranus alignment can mean a breakthrough conversation or idea generated with or about a partner, or a missing piece of information surfaces that is a game-changer. You’re attracting people with unusual ideas or insights into your life, and someone’s perspective can lead you on interesting mental detours or trains of thought. Interactions are stirring, helping you generate new ideas, methods, and directions. Perhaps a significant other can inspire you to think outside the box and make positive changes. High energy for personal attraction on social and romantic levels is with you. Opportunities to strengthen bonds can be subtle but useful, and they are much appreciated now. It’s an exciting time, but do watch for impulsiveness now.

Capricorn

Today’s energies are great for opening your mind to new possibilities, dear Capricorn. Mercury heads into your work and health sector, meeting Uranus there, and there can be sudden new insights in these areas of life, schedule changes, or surprising news. Inventive new methods to handle work, chores, or health matters can be in the mix, or you could feel inspired to start a new project or wellness endeavor. Conversations can be frank and refreshing. Further information might inspire you to make positive changes. You can have ideas swirling in your head, and it’s exciting, but it can also be hard to wind down. Fortunately, today’s Venus-Chiron transit aids problem-solving and good judgment, particularly regarding the home, work, or chores and routines, and any associated relationships. It’s a good time to tackle issues that can use a subtle boost of honesty, compassion, and openness.

Aquarius

You crave mental stimulation more than usual today, dear Aquarius, and you can be very creative as you seek it. With Mercury and Uranus meeting in your sector of joy, your perspective changes as you entertain new possibilities. There can be surprises in your romantic or emotional life, or a frank and straightforward discussion is in the spotlight. It can be a good day for new methods or approaches to your hobbies, leisure time, and relationships. While there can be some nervous excitement, it’s likely to be the pleasant kind! Your thinking is most inventive when you are having fun, relaxing, and enjoying yourself. Creative hunches come together, and beautiful ideas form. Spontaneous communications can be useful if you push yourself to express yourself about something you weren’t sure about saying, but do watch for impulsive responses. Also today, a Venus-Chiron aspect brings the chance to learn and heal, and letting go of suspicion or negative thinking is key. This transit contributes to the honest and open vibe of the day. Willingness to learn from one another, be vulnerable, and share problems helps boost your interactions, communications, creativity, and learning.

Pisces

Today can be exciting for satisfying conversation and inspired ideas, dear Pisces. Mercury and Uranus meet, helping you release yourself from constraints. Your perceptions of family dynamics or ideas about your personal life and living arrangements are changing. In turn, a desire to make changes on the home front or with family can overcome you, and approaching communication in new ways comes naturally. Mental refreshment is likely as you weigh your options and consider new possibilities. You might also feel some nervous excitement about new ideas or plans forming, which can be about physical alterations, such as moves or reorganization, or about your approach to connecting with loved ones and expressing your feelings. Today’s Venus-Chiron harmony further boosts your family, home, or personal life and can also be helpful for business matters. You want to improve your domestic environment to feel more comfortable or to be kinder or gentler with the people you love.

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.

Today’s Modal Balance

The modes are balanced today.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON

Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.

This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.

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. 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).
