Pleasantly competitive feelings or ambitions can challenge you to make essential changes and improvements, particularly around the home. Family can be quite supportive now, and a group effort can be satisfying and successful. Instead, you could solve a problem revolving around family or the home, or find yourself in a good position for acquiring something coveted that’s comfort-related. Warm energy is available to you for pursuing love or enhancing a connection, and your appeal is terrific. You seem to be on the same, similar, or complementary page as a partner or special someone. You don’t concern yourself much with others’ validation or approval, but you’re more interested in fulfilling your needs and desires, which seems to be the key to satisfaction now. You may want to take action on a business or financial matter, and you’re all set to solve problems. You could be working on making your home life more secure or happier, and you are willing to put in the necessary effort to do so.

Taurus

In fact, Mars begins its transit of Taurus, boosting your motivation, energy, and initiative in the weeks ahead, while Venus enhances your communications and connections. Today, you can use the power of words to smooth things out, and attempts to reach out to someone can be very successful. It can also be a good time for bumping into interesting people or coming up with highly creative ideas. Things are tying together nicely today, and you can feel pleasantly motivated. Through extending help, graciousness, or courtesies, you may very well expand your world now. It’s an excellent time for getting the word out if you are working on something special. You want to come out on top, beat a personal best, and pursue your desires and interests. There is a strong desire to be the one to take the initiative so that independent work or projects are favored now.

Gemini

Venus leaves your sign today, dear Gemini, and heads into your resources sector for over three weeks, while Mars also moves to a new house of your solar chart. Today, opportunities may come from behind the scenes or hidden sources. You might discover a resource you never knew you had or pick up a good buy due to a Venus-Mars harmonious transit. Others may be in the market or mood for your unique talents. Your inner or private world is more animated than usual, and you can get to the bottom of a matter from the past. You’re quite proactive, preferring to stay ahead of the game rather than fall behind. The need to overcome problem areas or get past something is compelling now, so take advantage! Tap into your inner courage and find your passion for making meaningful changes. Love feelings are stirring, and a relationship or person may be a strong motivator to take action today. At the same time, conversations with a friend or the excitement of a budding project can inspire you. You gravitate toward peaceful and calming situations, discussions, or musings.

Cancer

Venus enters your sign today, dear Cancer, and Mars heads into your social sector, bringing new themes into your life in the weeks ahead. Today, a Venus-Mars transit not only smooths out problems in your social life but also boosts your charm. It’s a potentially excellent time to enjoy friends and perhaps meet someone special. You’re giving off warm vibes, and you may very well be the focus of attention or the one everyone’s talking about now. Sharing some of your expertise or simply your company with colleagues or friends can be rewarding. Teaming up with others to get something done can be successful. Your feelings run deep, and you can get totally behind a cause or personal pursuit now. This is a time for inspiring others or feeling inspired and moved to push a plan forward. You’ll also find it more comfortable than usual to put ideas into motion, as you’re craving a hands-on or active role. At the same time, a Mercury-Neptune aspect helps you gain perspective. You have a good head for practical matters, but you’re also imaginative and inspired. You can express ideas or feelings that you can’t always find words for, and your intuition for your next step is strong.

Leo

Your charisma comes shining through today, dear Leo, positively impacting your connections. Romantic or creative pursuits can fare quite well today as Venus and Mars head into harmony, and you can feel strongly about creating something unique or special. Opportunities may come from behind the scenes, or you may find much to enjoy in your private life. Your confidence in your ability to express yourself, as well as the motivation to approach others with confidence, can create winning situations today. Existing relationships can also receive a real boost. Your intuition backs you up, particularly when making life path or career-related decisions, as you seem to have a real sense of the moment and of what others want or need. You also have a good sense of your next step. While you can be somewhat retiring on a personal level with Venus now moving into your privacy sector, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is also stirring, as Mars moves to the top of your solar chart.

Virgo

Both Venus and Mars move into new sectors of your solar chart today, dear Virgo, and they’ll be moving in harmony with your sign in the weeks ahead. Today’s Venus-Mars connection is creative. Conversations with friends can be inspiring and stimulating, and opportunities to meet someone special can arise through groups, acquaintances, or networking. Someone can inspire you to do your best and reach a little higher. Smooth energy is with you for pursuing something new or for more thoroughly enjoying what you already have. When you’re motivated as you are likely to be now, energy levels can seem to rise quite magically. You find it easier to explore new ideas and subjects, directions, or activities right now. You might thoroughly enjoy channeling your energy into a constructive project, a workout, or a non-routine activity. Instead, this transit can motivate you to tap into your courage to do something entirely different and enjoy a new, invigorating experience. At the same time, a Mercury-Neptune influence lifts you up. Barriers tend to fall away in your conversations, which can be refreshing. You’re well-suited to guiding, teaching, and soothing.

Libra

Both Venus and Mars begin transits of new areas in your solar chart today, dear Libra, bringing new themes into your life that highlight special projects and goals. Today, a Venus-Mars aspect is in strong influence, and it’s pleasantly invigorating. A healthy, happy level of competition can motivate you. You may feel as if you’re turning a page, especially in career, responsibilities, long-term goals, and life-path matters. This theme is set to build further as the month advances. You are gracious and accommodating, but firm. You might volunteer your help with a practical matter as a show of affection. You’re coming across especially creatively, particularly on professional and public levels, although it’s a good time for personal concerns as well. You can be exceptionally resourceful today and might quickly solve a problem that had stumped you before. Or, you might uncover or attract a vital resource. You have a real desire to come out ahead, to triumph, or to accomplish something today. It might also be a great time to gain professional support or backing. You’re also open to interesting insights, and if there’s a chance to bond through shared opinions or acceptance of differences, it’s a great time to do so. You can feel terrific about your ideas or plans.

Scorpio

You can feel quite stimulated and motivated today, dear Scorpio, with Venus and Mars heading into harmony. In fact, both Venus and Mars enter new signs today, bringing new themes into your life in the weeks ahead, stirring up your relationships, your mind, and your experiences. Today, an empowering conversation or exchange of ideas can be in the spotlight. Relationships are pleasantly spicy. You feel inspired by your communications or the connections you make, and a special someone can be intrigued with or invested in your point of view. When reaching out or moving out of your usual comfort zone, you are more willing to take some personal and creative risks today. It’s a good time for both competitive and cooperative activities, and someone may encourage you to be the best version of yourself now. A relationship can spark your enthusiasm and build your confidence. You want to feel more vital and alive, and you might achieve this through relationships. You benefit from the involvement or company of others, even if you are pursuing your own goals at this time. Enjoying a certain ease in self-expression can also be a strong theme today. You’re more receptive to the subtle things in your life. Focusing on emotional or spiritual priorities can open up doors that previously seemed closed.

Sagittarius

Venus and Mars head into new areas of your chart today, dear Sagittarius, stirring themes of increased intimacy as well as special attention to your daily routines in the weeks ahead. Intimate matters are warm, comfortable, and natural today with a Venus-Mars aspect in play. You’re seeking–and finding–the inspiration and motivation to improve, grow, and excel. Creative changes made and creative risks taken tend to encourage a sense of personal empowerment now. Whether you’re competing with others or trying to improve your personal best, now is a time to seek a little more from life and enjoy yourself in the process. A somewhat daring or bold decision made this week might propel you forward into a situation that has a few unknowns, but that keeps you engaged, learning, and gently challenged. If you can set your own working pace today, all the better, as very creative, spontaneous energy is with you. Energy for work or daily routines can be exceptionally dynamic, and you can use it positively by pouring your energy into your projects or health endeavors. At the same time, it feels natural to let go of overthinking; more accepting energy is with you. The healing powers of art, music, recreation, hobbies, and entertainment may be in focus.

Capricorn

Interactions today can be highly stimulating yet also productive, dear Capricorn. Romance, pleasure, or a particular project can be exciting, and there may be the opportunity to add a little more spice to a relationship or friendship now. Creative projects can also benefit from the day’s passion. The day holds much potential for connecting on a romantic level and is also good for confidence boosts. Cooperation is a strong factor right now, but some playful competitiveness works as well. You are gracious, fun, and willing to put yourself out there, and your natural charm is especially endearing. There is a perfect combination of confidence and warmth that virtually ensures social and creative success now. There is also spontaneous and slightly daring energy to the day. You may be craving more activities in which you can create, compete, or play. You want to come out ahead and perhaps stand out for what you do. A relationship may serve as a powerful motivator for you to better yourself or do your best. In fact, Venus and Mars head into relationship-focused sectors of your solar chart, and these themes will extend over the weeks ahead.

Aquarius

Easy charm is with you today, dear Aquarius, with lovely Venus heading into harmony with Mars. In fact, both planets are moving into new sectors of your chart today, bringing new themes to your life in the weeks ahead. Right now, there could be a successful purchase for the home or family, or creative activities with loved ones can be in pleasant focus. Today’s mood is warm, generous, and hospitable. A hint of competitiveness can keep you on your toes and motivated to do your best. Your instincts for what works best for you at home, with your health, and with work or chores are in top form, allowing you to gravitate toward both situations and people that are healthy for you. You’re unlikely to ignore a desire, even if it’s sudden, to do something different or inventive with family or around the home now. You are in the mood to make something happen, to push something forward, and to solve problems that leave you feeling that you’re ahead of the game. You also benefit from transits that ease conversations and encourage a nice flow to your thoughts. If you give yourself to the process, creative writing or artistic expression can flourish, bringing a sense of relaxation and inspiration.

Pisces

Creative outlets can be magical today, dear Pisces, and you can do quite a bit as you work with a bit of competitive or growth-oriented energy with you right now. A Venus-Mars transit points to rewards from a gentle challenge. Venus and Mars both move into more outgoing areas of your solar chart, influencing the weeks ahead. Today, it’s a time to stay on top of things socially, as opportunities abound. You’ll put in a little extra effort to feel more supported, nurtured, and peaceful. As well, you’re stimulated, engaged, and ready to take action. Your focus seems to be on positive reinforcement, and others seem more cooperative, interested, or helpful. Your powers to gently persuade, lead, and influence are strong. Romantic intensity of the pleasant variety may figure strongly, but you’re also engaged mentally today. There is a little more courage at your disposal, but you’re also in tune with your intuition, which boosts your problem-solving ability, especially with conversations or thoughts related to financial, home, practical, and mechanical matters.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 18th:

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).
