Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
You’re motivated by your curiosity today, dear Aries, with the Moon in your communications sector. After yesterday’s New Moon in this same area of your solar chart, you can be excited about learning or exploring special interests. There may be some overstimulation related to money and things today, and it may be best to understand that with distractions to manage, you can’t expect to be producing as well. Pacing yourself makes sense. As well, people are not very privy to your soft side these days, and they may not be as sensitive in their dealings with you as a result. Misunderstandings can be an offshoot of this. If expressing something especially important to you, try to engage your need for inspiration and make it part of the whole package.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
Making or building something useful holds appeal to you today, dear Taurus, with the Moon in your resources sector all day. With a New Moon in this same area of your solar chart just yesterday, you’re becoming more and more motivated to take charge of your life, especially the practical side. The desire to have more control of your life is a driving force. Narrowing your focus may be useful now, as too many options can feel overwhelming right now. You need more inspiration and gentleness from friends and networks, and this is a valid need, but you could be ignoring it without realizing it. It’s best to recognize your needs rather than sweep them under the rug since you can feel quite restless and dissatisfied otherwise.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
On the heels of a New Moon in your sign, dear Gemini, your need to feel connected or acknowledged is strong and building. Moving just a little out of your usual routine or comfort zone can be appealing. Small doses might work best. You may feel in limbo on some levels until Mercury turns direct on the 3rd, or your mind can frequently turn back to the same problem. Now is the time to approach your feelings from an entirely new angle instead of sweeping things under the carpet. It’s a great time to seek some inspiration. While duties call, and you’d be wise to answer them, don’t forget the need for some emotional and mental refreshment. A sense of meaning can be just as motivating as a sense of purpose.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, dear Cancer, and you benefit from taking an emotional vacation. On the heels of a New Moon in the same area of your solar chart, you could make it a goal to better yourself through self-understanding. Unwinding and taking time to process can be particularly helpful. Today, you could be too close to a problem to see it clearly. Perhaps the only way to resolve it is to pull back from it to gain perspective. Taking it easy makes sense, and as you do, you can muse about possible next steps and actions. You could be a bit stern about expressing your feelings, but a good part of you is more protective and contemplative than you’re letting on. Small misunderstandings can result, and it makes sense to work on expressing yourself not necessarily more fully but more heartfully.

Leo
Leo
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Leo, and there can be a pleasant sense of forward motion and cooperation in your networks. You might see a relationship matter more objectively, or a balance of your attention to your plans and your relationships is grounding. Still, there can be some tendency for conversations to bother you on a deeper level if someone’s not getting you today. There can be a subtle feeling that the responsibilities of a bond are stifling your imagination or need for gentleness. Your thoughts take you to other places, making it challenging to enjoy the present in spots. Choices are nice, but too many of them can feel overwhelming, making it a good idea to simplify so that you can center yourself.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Pleasantly ambitious feelings are building today, dear Virgo, and it can be satisfying to put in the effort toward securing your future, even in small ways. At the moment, anything that brings better function to your daily routine, habits, and work holds more appeal. Still, it can be temporarily challenging to integrate your duties and your close relationships. You can be working hard at promoting harmony in your close relationships, and you’re also motivated to work and can be very busy getting things done. You might review and reconsider matters for best results. If you can, reserve judgment for a better, clearer time.

Libra
Libra
Libra
You can be increasingly interested in sharing or learning, dear Libra, and you’re far more interactive today. The need for a change of pace is real, but it’s wise to take things slowly but surely. Don’t immediately dismiss advice today, as it could be helpful, even only as food for thought. You may feel that you’re of two minds about a matter, making it best to aim to look at problems, particularly those revolving around shared finances, debts, and balance of power in a relationship, from a new angle or perspective. If they’re re-emerging, then you need to put them to rest in a new or different way. You’re inclined to spend more time than usual crafting your words, but it’s worth the extra effort. You could also be seeking inspiration today, as you can feel quite hungry to find more meaning in your daily affairs.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
Your need to observe and reflect is stronger than usual today, dear Scorpio, and you’re processing your feelings and recent events. Rather than pushing forward with new activities, you tend to take more time for self-discovery. You might view a past matter differently, which is revealing. While you have a lot on your mind, you may not find enough room to give everything and everyone their due attention. It may be best to cut yourself some slack and simplify. At the same time, your need for more inspiration, gentleness, and imagination in your life is real, and making plans to improve the situation can be helpful. While you can feel strong calls to make improvements and changes in your home life, there’s only so much time in a day.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
You can be quite focused on collaborating today, dear Sagittarius. The urge to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is prominent. As much as you want to pay more attention to your social life or close relationships today, there can be some difficulty keeping yourself mentally focused. The need for harmony, replenishment, and inspiration in your personal life is strong, and you can be relatively sensitive if things are not as ideal as you wish them to be. While creating a beautiful, easygoing environment at home is a noble goal, it may be best not to expect this to happen all at once.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, dear Capricorn, and with yesterday’s New Moon in this area of your solar chart, the motivation to improve these things is building. You enjoy piecing things together, and having some space to sort things out can be helpful. You can be handling details that will further your financial or work goals. While you may pour more energy into doing something productive, and it can be therapeutic for your mood, it’s best not to ignore your need for some inspiration. Feeding your imagination or seeking activities that refresh you mentally can be just as important as getting things done and creating order in your life.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your creative sector, dear Aquarius, encouraging you to express your feelings, whether directly or through enjoyable activities. The motivation to explore your interests is strong and building after yesterday’s New Moon in this area of your solar chart. It’s still not very straightforward to make firm decisions, however. You can feel torn between light and expressive needs and your drive to focus on one good thing at a time. At the same time, while you’re driven to get things done, part of you is itching for some inspiration. These drives don’t need to clash so dramatically, and you could arrive at a plan to satisfy them, but it will take time. For now, finding ways to center yourself is important.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your home and family sector, dear Pisces. You can be motivated to bring more security and consistency to your life, especially after yesterday’s New Moon in the same area of your solar chart. It’s a good time for regeneration, possibly through familiar activities. There can be a touch of mental strain or stress today, and restlessness can develop if part of you feels you should be more involved than you are. You come across mildly these days, and they don’t always see that you could be indecisive or burdened on the inside. Your calm exterior doesn’t always tell the whole story, as a lot is going on beneath the surface.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 31st:

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).
