Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

As Pluto now begins its yearly retrograde cycle, some of your long-term goals are up for revision over the coming months, dear Aries. Plans, obligations, and concerns regarding your social life, friendships, or happiness goals may have heavy energy hanging over them during the shift this week. However, as the retrograde advances, things not only even out but also feel less pressured. Giving special attention to your emotions and exercising patience can help you navigate this shift. This retrograde period lasts until October 11th, and it’s powerful for taking a step back and examining your fears, resentments, and possible self-destructive tendencies so that you’re not living on autopilot. It’s a vital time for healing. While this cycle begins in your social sector, Pluto will return to your career and reputation sector in September, and you’ll do some more work on addressing your fears and concerns about your life path and responsibilities. Today is good for strategizing and observing. You’ll learn much about yourself and others.

Taurus

Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle today, dear Taurus, and some of your long-term career goals may be up for review until September. This retrograde cycle lasts until October 11th, but it divides its time between your career and reputation sector (until September 1st) and your sector of spirit, higher education, and publishing. The coming months are excellent for reworking career and planning initiatives, educational pursuits, doing the research and legwork, and refining projects. Facing up to truths about the past and a closer look at career, life path, beliefs, worldview, and relationship matters can be part of the picture. While pressures and fears can magnify this week, the retrograde cycle itself helps you detach and observe, giving you a clearer perspective. You’re more able to see areas where you’ve been over-attached, overthinking, worried, or obsessed. Today, you’re in a good place to observe and strategize.

Gemini

Today’s energies may feel somewhat heavy with Pluto stationing, dear Gemini, but this is a time that calls for deep self-reflection. As Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle, areas such as studies, financial affairs, debts, or intimacy may require more thought or strategy in the coming months. This is an excellent time to step back from a situation, allowing you to gain perspective and identify areas where you’ve been too attached, controlling, or tense. Use this period to reflect on your personal belief systems or general outlook regarding your future, as Pluto will retrograde in your spirit sector until September 1st. You may find yourself reassessing, observing, and gaining a new vision of a publishing project, educational path, or belief system. From September 1st to October 11th, Pluto will spend its retrograde in your intimacy sector, offering an opportunity for a reassessment of your attachments and dependencies.

Cancer

Pluto stations as it begins its retrograde cycle today, dear Cancer, and until October 11th, you benefit from a review or reassessment of debts, dependencies, partnerships, and intimate relationships. If the give-and-take or trust in a key relationship has fallen out of balance, you’ll feel it more intensely now. Because Pluto rules your solar fifth house, romantic relationships or recreation and creativity, especially related to issues of control or fear, can also come into sharper focus with this shift. As the retrograde progresses, you might find that you’re detaching just enough to make improvements. For instance, this could mean taking a step back to reassess your needs and boundaries in a relationship, or finding a new balance in your shared responsibilities. The station occurring today can magnify problem areas, but the retrograde cycle in the months ahead is far more natural and comfortable. Note that Pluto is retrograde in your intimacy sector until September 1st this year, when it returns to your partnership sector for you to do more work on relationship needs. Today, aim to channel excess energies into observation and strategy. There can be a real desire to move forward and get out of any rut you may have felt you’ve been in.

Leo

Pluto begins its retrograde cycle today, dear Leo, and will remain retrograde for many months–until October 11th. While the shift today, called a station, can feel a bit heavy and problem areas can magnify, the months-long cycle itself holds the potential for new discoveries and insights. In fact, it can help ease some pressure! Pluto divides its time between your partnership sector and your solar house of routines, work, and health during this retrograde period. As such, the areas most affected for you are one-on-one relationships, your day job or chores, and health and wellness. Additionally, since Pluto is the natural ruler of your solar fourth house, home and family matters are also impacted. This retrograde can prompt the need to review your feelings or the tendency to cling to old patterns or examine the past instead of braving new territory. Aim to detach yourself at least somewhat from matters to gain a clearer, more objective perspective. This process will help you identify areas where you’ve pushed too hard or where you’ve been too attached for your own good! Today, you notice elements of people and situations that you may have missed or seemed hidden to you previously.

Virgo

You tend to seek out company, collaboration, and input or feedback today, dear Virgo. There are stronger emotions surrounding relationships today. You will likely feel a stronger desire for harmony, peace, and balance than usual. Also today, Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle, and problem areas can magnify with the shift, likely related to work, routines, communications, and health. As you grow accustomed to this energy, you’re in a brilliant position to review and reassess these matters as you gain perspective. You might more clearly see where you’ve been over-attached or where you’ve put too much pressure on yourself along these lines. You take on a more detached, observational role in these life departments until September 1st, when retrograde Pluto dips back into your sector of creativity, romance, and recreation. The retrograde continues in that area of your solar chart until October 11th, and you’ll do some more work on fears or concerns in these areas.

Libra

You crave more order in your life today, dear Libra. Disorganization and imbalance disrupt your mood today, and you keep yourself busy fixing things. It’s a fine time to tune into areas of your life that you normally overlook but need extra attention. Also today, Pluto begins its yearly retrograde. With the shift, there can be a temporary magnification of problems, complications, and fears related to those areas of your chart strongly influenced by Pluto: romance, creativity, recreation, finances, and security. Pressures will subside going forward, and in fact, you’ll get to the point where you’re significantly detached enough to gain a better perspective on these things. This way, you can more clearly see where fear and over-attachment may have worked against you. This powerful period for self-knowledge continues until October 11th. However, retrograde Pluto will return to your sector of home and family on September 1st, and you’ll work on these matters for the remainder of the retrograde.

Scorpio

You have a stronger need for games, fun, and creative expression today, dear Scorpio, and your romantic inclinations can be stronger than usual. Still, your planetary ruler, Pluto, begins its retrograde cycle, positioning you well to review, reassess, and gain a new perspective about areas of your chart strongly influenced by Pluto: your personal goals, security, comfort, family, communications, transportation, connecting, and home or domestic life. Some related plans may need adjustment, but you might find it easier to detach from some pressures and fears in these areas. However, as the shift occurs today, you may feel these pressures more intensely. Keep in mind that you’ll find this process far more comfortable as you grow more accustomed to this energy. This retrograde occurs in your home and family sector until September 1st, when it returns to your communication sector for the remainder of the retrograde period–until October 11th.

Sagittarius

You are seeking more security and comfort today, dear Sagittarius, and you’d be wise to get in touch with what’s in your heart. Also today, Pluto begins its retrograde cycle, which lasts over five months, putting you in a more reflective frame of mind. It’s a great time for searching deep within for answers. Looking to the past is a necessary process to help you see what things in your life need to change. It’s also a time to take a break from pushing yourself too hard mentally. Some projects may stall or need editing, adjustments, and refinements. The shift happening today can act to magnify fears and problem areas. Still, as you adjust to this shift, you’ll find this cycle to be quite valuable for self-understanding. Pluto begins its retrograde in your communications sector, and your connections and transportation matters are the focus until September 1st. However, from September 1st to October 11th, Pluto is retrograde in your resources sector, and a review of money and attachment to things can be in order.

Capricorn

You are curious and connected today, dear Capricorn, but you also benefit from slowing down to observe. Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle today, and this change of direction prompts you to review your financial affairs, attitude towards money and things, what and who you value, and self-worth. While fears or worries related to money and security can magnify as this shift happens, the retrograde cycle itself, lasting until October 11th, helps you gain perspective. With less pressure on you to control or micromanage your practical affairs, your choices and decisions improve! Even so, it’s important not to push matters that need to evolve in their own due time. While Pluto is retrograde in your resources sector until September 1st, it then dips back into your sign for the remainder of its retrograde cycle and beyond! At that point, it will be Pluto’s final trek through Capricorn. Use this time to take an inventory of what may need to change in order for you to reinvent yourself.

Aquarius

You’re in a positive frame of mind and don’t like to linger on problem areas today, dear Aquarius. Earthy, grounding activities can benefit you greatly. Also today, Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle, affecting you a little more than others because Pluto is in your sign! As the shift occurs now, there can be some magnification of unresolved matters, fears, or compulsions. However, once you get beyond the shift, the months-long retrograde cycle is excellent for detaching yourself from these things enough to see where you may have been overly worried or obsessing. You’re in a fine position to review and reassess your approach to self-starts, new beginnings, career matters, and responsibilities. If you’ve been over-controlling, you recognize this now and want to take some of the pressure off. While Pluto’s retrograde lasts until October 11th, Pluto moves out of your sign and backs into your privacy sector on September 1st.

Pisces

It’s not easy to hide what you’re feeling right now, dear Pisces. Even if you’re not divulging them, your emotions are written on your face! Still, today is good for reflecting and observing rather than starting brand-new projects. Pluto begins its yearly retrograde, and with the shift happening now, you might experience some intensifying fears, worries, or frustrations. Rest assured, these things should settle down shortly. The retrograde lasts until October 11th, and it encourages you to observe and understand your attachments and fears. You may not have noticed how concerns, guilt, and control issues have worked against you. Now that you’re making these associations, it’s easier to work on healing and resolving problems. This Pluto retrograde cycle lasts for over five months, and until September 1st, it happens in your privacy sector, after which time it moves back into your social sector. It’s a powerful time for review.

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.

Today’s Modal Balance

LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.

We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 2nd:

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).
