Aries
Aries
Aries
You might organize finances, the home, and work environments today, dear Aries, and you have a good sense of how these things connect and how important it is for you to feel on top of them. Aim to make improvements and enjoy yourself in the process. With the Moon in your solar fourth all day, it’s important to focus on strengthening your feelings of support and security, whether on inner or outer levels and perhaps both. You express yourself more flowingly today. It’s a powerful time for personal attraction levels, selling an idea, your value, or your personality. There could be news that is warm, pleasant, and promising. You can feel understood, cared for, and supported.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
With the Moon in your solar third house all day, dear Taurus, you focus more on learning, transportation, projects, and daily affairs. It’s a great day for positive gestures and making contact. A balanced approach to relating today help you and your connections feel supported. It’s a time when sharing your ideas or knowledge can help someone immensely. You’re eager to explore new options today. You can find it easier to express things that are often left unexpressed, hard to articulate, or kept to yourself. You might also come up with interesting ideas about how you can improve your financial state. You are more inclined to pay attention to unusual signs or symbols, and these can factor strongly into decisions now.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your solar second house, dear Gemini, and it’s easier to put your emotions aside to take care of business. You gravitate to simple and grounding activities, but you’re also ready and willing to do things a bit differently. It’s a fine time to take stock of what you have and consider ways to put these things to better use, whether your money, things, or talents. You might identify with a friend, pet project, or cause more closely today. Transits are excellent for your social life and positive news or exchanges. You may be sharing ideas, personal thoughts, feelings, and memories now, and this feels fantastic. You’re especially charming, personable, and engaging. Your judgment is excellent.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Cancer, and you have a stronger need for self-nurturing. You’re likely to find satisfying channels for expressing your emotions through sharing, learning, and connecting with others. The Moon in your sign can sometimes trigger feelings of being down if you are unhappy with how you present yourself or how they receive you. However, today’s energies are generally easygoing and supportive. It’s a great time for connecting with others and enjoying good company. Intuition is good for business and financial matters. Talking something through can be very helpful for clarifying feelings.

Leo
Leo
Leo
The Moon spends today and tomorrow in your privacy sector, dear Leo, drawing your attention to behind-the-scenes, background, and private matters. You’re winding down a cycle, and it makes sense to take more time to digest, process, and rest. It can prompt you to take some pressure off your life to regroup. Even so, the day’s transits inspire mental engagement and curiosity. Your daydreams can lead you to important conclusions or ideas. You might arrive at a more positive perspective on a particular person or problem. You communicate more hopefulness and positivity now, and others easily warm up to your ideas and follow along with your plans. It’s a good time for informal learning, teaching, and guiding.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Today’s transits can pull up the chance of making the connections you crave, dear Virgo, or you can see a person or project in a new light, and it’s a helpful perspective. Making long-term plans can be fun and rewarding, particularly those along creative lines or having to do with learning or sharing. You can be especially adept at teaching or guiding. The circulation of ideas and the feedback you receive while interacting can help jumpstart your own creative process, even if you’re going in the opposite direction. People may be speaking highly of you today. You are more aware of public sentiment and what others think of you when making decisions. You can be persuasive and charming.

Libra
Libra
Libra
The Moon spends today and tomorrow in your solar tenth house, dear Libra, and you pay more attention to the rules or your plans and responsibilities. Situations can subtly call on you to mature. With the Moon at the top of your solar chart, you might also feel the urge to reach greater heights. A Mercury-Venus aspect can help bring pleasant exchanges and social relationships. This is a good time for connecting with others in satisfying, enjoyable ways, especially at one-on-one levels. A problem might resolve, and there may be greater understanding between you and people close to you.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
The Moon spends today and tomorrow in your sector of the higher mind, dear Scorpio, lifting your spirits. This transit tends to raise you above regular stresses and daily life problems. You take a stronger interest in new ideas, places, and people. If you can take a detour from the routine, your mood tends to elevate. Today’s transits can find you seeking clarity in your interactions and conversations. A relationship can enjoy a nice boost from a discussion. It’s easier to communicate feelings that perhaps were hard to define before today.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
It’s a great time to learn about yourself and others today, dear Sagittarius. Your powers of observation are more potent than usual. The hidden elements of what you’re seeing and experiencing draw you in, and you pick up many important clues. Today, you can benefit from taking a step back and planning your next move. With a Mercury-Venus aspect in play, communications with a partner or good friend are in focus. You’re in a particularly good position to come to agreements, make romantic clarifications or overtures, and share good times with people you care about. Things are looking up! Ideas and words flow easily and you’re looking for the positive in the news and information you come across now.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
With the Moon in your opposite sign today and tomorrow, dear Capricorn, you are more aware of what others think about you, and more adaptable and accommodating. This transit gives you an extra boost socially, and it’s good for seeing two sides of a situation. The need for others becomes more apparent. While it’s important to avoid living too much in the head right now, it’s a good time for taking an objective look at matters. You might also see things more clearly if you verbalize or talk through an issue. You might come to satisfying and mutually beneficial agreements today with a Mercury-Venus transit in play.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Today’s energies are good for seeing power dynamics in relationships, dear Aquarius. Giving others the benefit of the doubt can motivate them to improve and make you feel stronger. There can be an absorbing topic, subject, or activity that draws you in and keeps you pleasantly busy. With today’s transits, rapport is easier than usual. Ideas flow well, and a Mercury-Venus aspect can boost your romantic and social life and increase your power to communicate pleasingly. Approaching people and problems in a relaxed manner works in your favor right now, and clarifying things can be rewarding.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
The Moon spends today and tomorrow in your solar fifth house, dear Pisces, turning your attention to leisure, pleasure, love, and activities that allow you to express yourself and your sense of fun. Social or creative activities hold the greatest appeal today, but if you put your heart first, you can still be quite productive in your practical world today. Transits today are strong for good news or promising developments with domestic or financial affairs. You may be expressing your affection through being a good listener. Conversations can help you better see how you or someone feels, and it’s helpful to spell things out.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 5th:

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).
