Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Today’s Venus-Pluto transit is powerful for your practical affairs, dear Aries, particularly for planning out improvements in your work or making business purchases or changes. There can be positive feedback for your work or talents now. Making sound financial and relationship decisions comes more naturally now as you see what’s most important to you. It can be particularly satisfying or enjoyable to devote your energy to projects with long-term benefits. New insights can be brilliant, and you might strategize steps or plans for securing a better position. While you’re open to making changes if needed, security and safety are bigger priorities right now, and you prefer to bolster and improve what you already have going. Interactions in the first half of the day tend to be intense or serious but pleasant. As the day advances, you find yourself in the frame of mind to enjoy unwinding and decompressing.

Taurus

Today’s Venus-Pluto transit comes as a fabulous boost for personal appeal and growth through your relationships and experiences, dear Taurus. There can be some key healing now, or positive reinforcement figures strongly. Your patience and insight bring in positive vibes and attention. It helps all around to gain a stronger sense of your priorities and those things you value most. Bonding seems to happen through the sharing of your visions and ideals. It pays to dig a little deeper, investigate, or research. Today’s transits also favor communications or news that leads to encouraging opportunities.

Gemini

You’re in good shape for focusing on something or someone special to you today, dear Gemini. Love is rich and complicated as Venus and Pluto harmonize. Attractions are complex as well, secret love or buried feelings reveal themselves, or you could unearth previously hidden or classified information. Most importantly, it’s an excellent time to get in touch with your inner world and benefit from this connection. Today is about focus and concentration in the first half of the day, and then later, letting go and enjoying yourself. Priorities as well as what or who you value become clearer or more apparent.

Cancer

A special link between Venus and Pluto today can boost mutual respect, understanding, and inner courage, dear Cancer. You’re embracing the need to get in touch with your more profound feelings. At the same time, you’re getting a stronger sense of what you value in yourself and others. When distracted, it can be challenging to discern between your concern for what others need and your own true, deep desires and needs, but now is an excellent time to cut through the fluff. Opportunities might emerge for feeling more closely aligned to a partner, group, or friend, and your exchanges can be inspiring. You can be excited to share information that helps or supports someone.

Leo

Your practical affairs are in good shape today, dear Leo, with Venus at the top of your solar chart in harmony with Pluto in your work and health sector. It can be a time of advancement or some recognition and rewards for your efforts. Or, you can be making some satisfying plans and strategies for reaching your goals. With the services or support you provide or the work you do, the subject of value is now in focus. You are noticing whether others appreciate you, and you perform the best now if you love what you do or can communicate your passion for it. Pouring your energy into the things you love comes naturally today. As well, if a relationship with a higher-up or associate could use some extra attention, it’s a super time for enhancing, developing, and repairing your connection. Overall, transits today help you get in touch with your ambitions and understand your projects and priorities.

Virgo

With today’s transits, you find it easier to see what in your life has long-term appeal and benefit, dear Virgo. This special vision isn’t always straightforward, but today, a Venus-Pluto aspect boosts your sense of purpose and priorities. Relationships and feelings are more intense than usual, and quite pleasantly so! You can hunger for creative or romantic experiences that touch you deeply and inspire you. You might do something different creatively speaking or reinvent yourself through expressing your love and enthusiasm more confidently. A financial boost or a meaningful gift can be in the offing. Romantic possibilities seem more likely with a person who is of a very different background than you or a long-lost friend. Your words of wisdom or support can be particularly appreciated. Talking through a tricky matter can be easier than usual.

Libra

Your planetary ruler, Venus, harmonizes with Pluto today, dear Libra, giving you a stronger sense of what’s truly important to you. If you need to strengthen a relationship, this is a good day for doing so. An opportunity might emerge to attract people who help you grow. Attractions are strong and run deep today. This aspect increases your magnetism, and it also favors strengthening a relationship, building strong alliances, or securing a loan or other form of support. An intimate relationship can thrive, or your relationship with yourself improves as you acknowledge and accept some of your deeper feelings. Researching, editing, or otherwise reviewing business, health, domestic, and financial matters can figure strongly. Your ideas about home and family are big, and your positive attitude can help you drum up support from the people around you.

Scorpio

You can feel more powerful, patient, and in control of your life today, dear Scorpio. You radiate positive energy that seems to attract the right people, resources, or situations to you. Relationship matters can do exceptionally well with Venus in harmony with Pluto. People gravitate to you, and you might gain a greater understanding of someone special. Negotiations can figure strongly and can very much go your way or benefit you. A relationship improves your outlook and boosts your confidence. Transits now help you gain your footing, and good opportunities can emerge for learning. An idea or project can be exciting and motivating.

Sagittarius

Today’s transits encourage you to make changes and grow with and through them, dear Sagittarius. Others find you convincing, prestigious, or trustworthy. You have a real sense of what works in the long term, which benefits you both financially and personally. As the day progresses, energies are good for stretching your mind and imagination. There can be a reason to believe that a practical matter is resolving or improving. Instead, you might enjoy rich new information or discussions. A bonus or special gift can figure strongly, or you recognize what you value the most and what brings you the most joy. You enjoy supporting others, which can lead to rewards. Consider long-term goals for health, wellness, money, and business.

Capricorn

Expressing yourself creatively is especially rewarding, dear Capricorn, and can attract positive responses. Pluto in your sign harmonizes with Venus in your creativity and romance sector, boosting your magnetism. Healing and positive interactions with people that feed your good mood can figure strongly. You might make plans that help you expand your creative reach or expand your horizons. Good ideas come to you most readily now, and you can be in great shape for enjoying some satisfying entertainment, hobbies, or leisure time. The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, and ideas coming to you now are magical and motivating.

Aquarius

There can be opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance family relationships, or to find peace with yourself on a matter, dear Aquarius. A harmonious aspect between Venus and Pluto can generate pleasantly intense feelings or strong emotions that lead to growth. The chances are good today that you might recover something lost, discover a special resource, or connect more deeply with your feelings. Acknowledging and embracing your attachments or connections can be key to enjoying this transit. This can be a time to arrive at a good understanding with someone or with yourself–forgiving or coming to terms with a matter can be satisfying.

Pisces

Today’s Venus-Pluto transit boosts your appeal, dear Pisces, tying in your communication skills or willingness to open up and share your thoughts with your new lease on life. The Moon spends the day in your sign, further animating you. A hearty, satisfying talk or other forms of communication can figure strongly. Group settings also play up your appeal, perhaps as someone puts in a good word for you or the unique qualities you bring to the table stand out. There is likely to be a pleasant buzz or level of intensity in your interactions. Instead, you might happily focus on a particular project that motivates you. The day can be powerful for inspiration and ideas.

TAURUS STRONG

Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

PISCES STRONG

Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.

Today’s Elemental Balance

FIRE WEAK

We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. 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.

Today’s Modal Balance

The modes are balanced today.

Today’s Lunar Phase

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 6th:

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).
