Horoscopes
Aries
You’re particularly excited about moving a project, personal interest, communications or transportation initiative forward, dear Aries, but delays and slowdowns are likely. The more you push, the more resistance you meet. Saturn opposing your ruler, Mars, across your communications sector can take the form of criticism that throws your thinking off, a responsibility that slows you down, or a rule you now have to follow. This can be a time of calling out for some. There can be a reminder that you may be limiting your viewpoint or concentrating on the short term rather than the big picture. Communication, mechanical, or transportation problems and breakdowns can figure strongly now. You may feel hemmed in or stifled from expressing yourself. However, workarounds may very well redirect your attention to important details. You’re likely to find that slowing down helps you center yourself.
Taurus
You may be excited about a venture, purchase, or business idea, dear Taurus, but you can reach a block now in the form of a restriction, reality, or disapproval as Saturn opposes Mars and asks you to check in with reality. This influence may alternatively point to a disagreement about money, values, or boundaries. It’s best to be patient and make adjustments to your plans or wait things out before pushing forward. Getting to a middle ground may involve giving in a little, which may not be easy, especially since you feel you’re in the right! Focusing on what’s best for your long-term interests may help.
Gemini
Mars in your sign has been energizing you and encouraging more courage, self-assertion, and independence in your life, dear Gemini. Mars faces an opposition to Saturn today, however, pointing to the need to slow down and reassess your path or make adjustments before pushing forward. This may take the form of disapproval, criticism from someone, or a set of circumstances that seems to be blocking you from progressing at the speed you prefer. People, in general, can seem a little bland, boring, or conservative for your liking today! Compromising can be difficult but may ultimately be the smartest way around obstacles for the time being. Today may simply be a reminder that you should attend to projects already in place before zipping ahead and taking on more.
Cancer
With Mars in your privacy sector these days, dear Cancer, there is often a lot going on behind the scenes in your life. Today’s Mars and Saturn opposition reminds you of your responsibilities, perhaps in a disruptive way, as the need to follow the rules, face reality, or meet a deadline brings you down to earth. This is the time for slowing down, dealing with the need to buckle down with your work, or attending to a small health problem or motivation issue, especially if you’ve been overextending yourself or avoiding your duties. If daily routines are difficult to endure, aim to keep the larger plan or end goal in sight so that you’re not focusing on their monotony.
Leo
With Mars in your solar 11th house, you’re in a great position to move projects forward and to enjoy friendships and social activities these days, dear Leo. However, today Mars opposes Saturn and slowdowns, obstacles, or delays are likely to figure strongly, particularly if you’ve been overexerting yourself. Responsibilities in your personal life may need your attention. Saturn serves as a reminder not to take on more initiatives before finishing what you’ve already started. Today is best for hard work attention to detail and conservative rather than bold move. It’s not a day for taking risks. You may feel torn between your personal life and demands from friends or associates. Reaching a compromise can seem difficult now, but is probably the best solution to problems.
Virgo
With Mars in your career and reputation sector these days, you can be gung-ho about projects, and you’re likely enjoying increased ambition and more exciting work, dear Virgo. Saturn’s opposition to Mars today points to the need to slow down a little to catch your breath and perhaps attend to a responsibility related to home life or family. This can be frustrating as it seems to break the momentum, but ultimately good for you, especially if you’ve been going too hard. Aggravation with an authority figure or family member could be in focus for some of you. Responsibilities in your personal life seem to get in the way of your work or your duties outside of the home. However, this is a good time for centering yourself and making adjustments before pushing ahead with new initiatives.
Libra
With Mars in your adventure sector recently, dear Libra, you’re often seeking out ways to break the routine. However, in the process, you haven’t always had the time to deal with your daily responsibilities, and you may have fallen behind in your work, with studies, or with making contact with others. Today, you’re reminded of these duties. For some of you, flaws in your viewpoint may be pointed out, and this can be frustrating. However, it can also be a learning experience. There can be communication or transportation breakdowns or delays to get around, and while these seem to break the momentum, the workarounds you employ for them can draw your attention to areas that need correcting. Recent impatience with details needs some addressing. Do your best not to stress over obstacles, delays, and differences of opinion. Instead, focus on getting the details right to free yourself up for more adventuresome times.
Scorpio
Mars has been transiting your intimacy sector these days, dear Scorpio, and you might often find exciting projects and endeavors that absorb a lot of your time and energy. Others might very often find that you’re in your own little world. Today, responsibilities or duties emerge, pulling you out of your private world and bringing you back down to earth. In a relationship, there can be a clash of values or boundaries, or there may be problems revolving around possessiveness. Financial disagreements can also figure strongly now. Common sense and instincts can be at war, but after wrestling with an issue, you may very well discover that what you wanted very much is not quite as urgent. Today’s energies help you to consider conserving your energy for what truly matters.
Sagittarius
With the planet Mars in your partnership sector these days, dear Sagittarius, close relationships can be very animated. Today, you may be seeing a partner or a special someone as too aggressive or impulsive. Others may seem to push and prod you, or they pull your attention away from what you want to do the most. Watch for being overly critical and restrictive with people you care about and consider whether insecurity may be at the root of your frustrations. Someone could seem extravagant, pushy, overbearing, or childish, and you might respond by putting the brakes on. Drawing boundaries may be necessary so aim to be reasonable about doing so. Getting to a compromise and balance is challenging but can also be your best bet.
Capricorn
Mars and Saturn, your ruler, meet via an opposition, setting up a challenge for you today and this week, dear Capricorn. This aspect occurs along your health and service axis, alerting you to areas of life where you’ve been charging ahead too quickly or not giving due consideration to what’s best for you in the long run. The challenge now may be convincing yourself that you have the right to relax! Consider ways to incorporate more time in your routine for attention to your inner world and mental health. Pressures to perform and excel are with you, but you need to make regular time for rest, and the events of today are likely to alert you to this need. The tendency may be to focus on frustrating problems now, but the route to satisfaction is to strive for a better balance in your working life. What feels like a breaking of the momentum may actually be a necessary–but temporary–slow down.
Aquarius
With Mars in your creative sector these days, dear Aquarius, you might often feel inspired to seek out new experiences related to entertainment, short trips, making connections, or the pursuit of romance or recreation. Saturn’s opposition to Mars today suggests a block or obstacle in your way, however. You may have difficulty getting others on board with your plans, or you may have to deal with a rule, criticism, disapproval, or delay that forces you to slow down and adjust your plans or draw on patience before pushing forward. Your best bet is to recognize the need to focus on your current responsibilities before seeking out new horizons. This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy new ventures — just that slowing down will probably help you out in the long run.
Pisces
With Mars in your home and family sector these days, dear Pisces, you can have a lot of things going on around the home, whether these are increased family activities or projects related to home improvement. Today, Saturn opposes Mars, and you might encounter a snag in your plans or an obstacle to clear before moving forward. Responsibilities to the outside world can call you now, and this puts your domestic plans on hold. For others, criticism or disapproval temporarily dampen your enthusiasm. A frustrating work or home-related problem can arise now for your attention. You can feel very tempted to fight restrictions, but rashness is not likely to be rewarded today. Slowing down may very well serve your long-term interests better.

GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.

Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional, sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.

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.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 28th:
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).
