Your Daily Horoscopes for May 19

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Optimism rules the first part of the day with the Moon in uplifting Sagittarius harmoniously trine buoyant Jupiter. But we grow tired of falling short of our expectations when the Moon enters earthy Capricorn at 4:15 pm EDT. Unfortunately, it’s still challenging to settle down because the Moon’s square to electric Uranus keeps the energy crackling. The stakes are high and we play to win as the ambitious Capricorn Moon moves toward potent Pluto.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t thrilled with your heavy workload, but you’re resigned with what you must do today. You need to confront your temptation to procrastinate; distracting yourself from your obligations is fruitless. If you make up your mind to focus your intentions with all your might, you should be able to rein in your scattered energy, harness your unrealized power and have a productive day in spite of yourself.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It seems like a fantastic day to complete a project, but things might not go according to your plan if you aren’t persistent. There is a lot of mental interference today and it could be tempting to set your agenda aside and follow a whim. Thankfully, your common sense should ultimately override your need to escape. You can turn a dream into reality now if you pick one track and follow your chosen course with determination.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone may look at you with total bewilderment today, amazed that you can appear so busy while getting so little done. Ironically, you might feel as if you’re doing everything just right, without noticing how much energy you’re actually wasting. However, you can turn fortune in your favor by consciously slowing down. Deliberating on your ideas and thinking through the consequences of your actions will certainly be more effective now than simply flying by the seat of your pants.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you sometimes tend to be very cautious, it may be refreshing today to just act on your feelings without going through endless analysis. Normally, you are more successful when you contemplate your next move before you do anything. But making every decision as if you’re playing a game of chess takes all the excitement out of your life. Instead, give yourself permission to react from your gut; getting things out into the open will make you feel much better.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a lot on your plate today, especially if you end up wasting too much time this morning. But your responsibilities will be more demanding and your schedule less forgiving as the afternoon unfolds. Nevertheless, avoid getting so caught up in your own agenda that you won’t be able to see what’s right in front of you. Remaining flexible enables you to respond positively to something quite unexpected.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your energy reserves grow deeper throughout the day, raising your confidence about a current creative project. Unfortunately, it isn’t sufficient to be productive today; you also want to enjoy yourself while you work now. However, don’t use your personal desires as a reason to sabotage your efforts if you’re not having a good time. Stay on track and demonstrate your competence; your satisfaction of a job well done will be enough of a reason to celebrate.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

No matter how grounded you try to be today, you’ll still be able to see beyond your normal boundaries, enabling you to gain a whole new perspective about your life. You can suddenly recognize how your current efforts mesh with your plans for the future in a way you hadn’t yet grasped, especially if you were only interested in completing your job. Don’t worry; you will do your best work in the long run by finishing what you can on your own timetable, not someone else’s.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may become so worked up over doing something perfectly that it is difficult to concentrate now. Even if you are tired because you have been working late into the night, take stock of what you have already accomplished and let others know what you have left to do. Don’t waste energy on self-judgment; just get some rest today and tomorrow you will feel refreshed and ready for anything.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you have been pushing yourself too hard lately, it’s time to exercise a bit of caution now. You may still be tempted to take on too much or promise more than you can deliver, but the calculating Capricorn Moon helps you plan your schedule with efficiency in mind. Your key to success now is pretty simple: make your energy last longer by doing less. Once you start creating boundaries, you’ll finally have time to finish what you have already started.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s monthly return to your sign today empowers you to express your emotional side. However, your friends may be surprised and dismayed with your uncharacteristic intensity. They might withdraw from the conversation, but they won’t openly disagree, even if they think that you are wrong. Do yourself a big favor and tone down your fervor. Being passionately engaged with a meaningful cause is one thing, but trying to persuade others won’t help you reach your goals.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be pulled into a complex melodrama now and there isn’t an easy way to avoid it. You may sink into your emotions over the next few days and, like quicksand, the more you struggle to get out, the deeper it gets. Don’t panic; your smartest strategy is to stop resisting. Listen to what others have to say and don’t just push them away. Your gift is to be a sounding board for those who need it most.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be obsessed today with one particular idea that you have about your future. Or, you could grow afraid of being stuck on your current path, especially if you don’t like where it’s heading. In both situations your attachment or avoidance intensifies the situation and makes it more difficult to navigate through the circumstances. Loosening your mental grip allows you to have more options and regain a healthier perspective.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, May 18

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s philosophical Sagittarius Moon widens our horizons and expands our visions beyond the normal boundaries. Fully opening our eyes allows us to see the world from a new perspective. However, we are tempted to resist inspirational ideas now as the Moon forms discomforting sesquisquares with Venus, Mercury and Mars in pragmatic Taurus. Fortunately, it’s possible to feel enthusiastic about the possibilities without needing to act on any them.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your impatience could get the best of you today. Even if you have important responsibilities to fulfill, you still might try to sidestep them so you have time for more pleasurable activities, too. Although you could feel invincible now, you probably won’t be able to escape unnoticed. Don’t be surprised if you are held accountable for any inconsiderate actions. As is often the case for you, thinking about the consequences before leaping into action is the smartest strategy.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s not productive to spend too much time questioning your values today, even if someone’s behavior makes you wonder about your own priorities. Nevertheless, your desires may not be as altruistic as someone else’s now. Keep in mind that everyone is different and comparing yourself to anyone else is a pointless exercise. What’s most important is simply being true to yourself.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners, indicating that others may encourage you to take on more than you want to handle. Fortunately, you can be revitalized by what you accomplish if you agree to participate in someone’s project. But you might already be busy today, and turning down an invitation could place you in an awkward position. Nevertheless, it’s better to be honest now than sorry later.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be rather surprised with your current willingness to get involved in someone’s plan now, especially if you need to relinquish control. It might even be a relief to be a passenger without having to also play the role of a back seat driver. It doesn’t matter what kind of activities you have on your calendar; the thought of doing something different today brings a smile to your face.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The upbeat Sagittarius Moon is traveling through your playful 5th house now, giving you the green light to kick up your heels and have fun. No matter how busy you are, make a little time today just for yourself. Get outside for a walk, schedule a massage, or do something creative that helps you to unwind. Take care of yourself and recharge your batteries. Today, it’s truly all about you.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Usually others rely on you to think critically and analyze the situation. But you may not be very logical now because you’re seeing the world through a very optimistic lens. Fortunately, your life could be in really good shape, but you still might be happier if you delay an important decision and simply enjoy yourself today. The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Family suggests that you should take time to relax at home instead of making your imprint on the world. Even if there’s plenty of work to do, grab the chance to play for a while, instead.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your idea of making it through the day might not include keeping so busy that you cannot find a moment to relax. Unfortunately, you may not have time to slow down and enjoy yourself. Thankfully, your willingness to be flexible can be your secret weapon, allowing you to have fun while maintaining your hectic schedule. You can always do what you wish on another day.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be lost in your current exploration of grandiose ideas about what you want to accomplish now, but you won’t make much progress if you try to do too much. Your energy level is high, enabling you to respond to others quickly, but you can easily burn through your reserves faster than you expect. You might think that you’re like the Energizer Bunny, but it’s smarter to react slowly and steadily like the tortoise if you want to finish the race.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You cannot contain your excitement now that the Moon is back in your enthusiastic sign. You are already aware that you are dealing with some challenging issues, and this increases your desire to have some fun now, while you can. Don’t waste energy feeling guilty about being spontaneous and avoiding your responsibilities. If you’re not gone for too long, you can slip back and finish your chores before anyone realizes that you stepped away.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Playing down your confidence is one way of sneaking in below the radar today. If your co-workers are aware of your positive energy, they will likely expect even more from you. However, if they can’t see the glint in your eye, you could get away with some mischievous behavior. Your strategy may be sound, but your plan can backfire. You’ll have a better shot at having fun now by letting the good times roll instead of holding yourself back.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your friends are the source of inspiration today as they include you in their adventurous plans. Unfortunately, things get complicated when there are overlapping events because you can’t do two things simultaneously. Make choices early in the day to lessen the stress that will arise if you try to juggle too many activities. For now, less is still better than more.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 10th House of Public Responsibility can temporarily turn you into a mother hen as you realize how much others need your help. But you would be wise to carefully examine your motives, even if you think that your intentions are honorable. Your need to save another lost soul and cure the sick is admirable if you are driven by true compassion. But your assistance might not be as helpful as you think if you’re trying to prove to others how much you care.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, May 16th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The passionate Scorpio Moon intensifies our emotions today. Although five planets in fixed signs decrease our level of flexibility, Mercury and Venus join forces in sensual Taurus to soften the energy. Dreamy Neptune sextiles clever Mercury and friendly Venus, preventing us from becoming overly stubborn. Nevertheless, assertive Mars and the brilliant Sun are both in determined Taurus, indicating that we can hold our ground when necessary.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t care about logic today; if you want to do something, no one will be able to talk you out of your plan. You might even be willing to conveniently forget about your obligations, although you’ll probably create trouble for yourself by your irresponsible behavior. Using your common sense can save the day. Take a moment and think about the consequences before impulsively running off to pursue pleasure. You will have a better time if you fulfill your responsibilities first.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You get off to a slow start this morning, so it may be tough to motivate yourself. You have no problem visualizing the amazing things you could be doing, but your dreams won’t become real on their own. You may have to set aside concerns of comfort and be willing to work extra hard today. Although you are being asked to stretch yourself now, you will feel a great deal of satisfaction if you have something positive to show for your efforts by the end of the day.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your need for peace and quiet may tempt you to withdraw from unnecessary social interactions today, even if your friends want you to join them for some fun. You’re not willing to just go along for the ride now, especially if it appears that the excitement will outweigh the serenity. You have enough work to do so you aren’t interested in wasting your energy when it could be applied toward more useful endeavors. Take care of important business and save your playtime for the weekend.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult to speak your mind without having a plan today. You would prefer to figure out what you’re going to say before sharing your thoughts with your friends or associates. However, you may be able to explore your alternatives out loud if you feel very comfortable with the others in your group. Ideally, your best bet will be to test a couple of your options on a friendly audience, if given the chance.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your co-worker or friend may be exaggerating today, but you will most likely take what you hear at face value. Your natural generosity of spirit enables you to give others the benefit of the doubt. Trusting someone else might initiate an emotional connection that adds value to your life. Although you must be ready to jump in with the right person when an opportunity is presented, make sure that you feel comfortable with the situation before you leap.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can become quite obsessed with making plans for an upcoming adventure, but your innate powers of discrimination may fall to the wayside as you try to finalize your strategy. You might skim over the details and miss something important while you justify what you want now with opinions rather than facts. But you won’t find satisfaction if you race toward the wrong destination. Slow down and reconsider your assumptions. Rethinking your current approach can save you from running into obstacles down the road.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is visiting dreamland today as she sextiles imaginative Neptune, making this a fairytale day that brings you love. Unfortunately, an idyllic fantasy might not last as long as you wish. Although there may be opportunities for romance, the mysterious Scorpio Moon increases your need to go deep. Happiness depends upon finding a balance between lighthearted pleasures and passionate explorations. You don’t have to miss out on the fun, yet entertaining unrealistic hopes could lead to disappointment.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your current notion of personal satisfaction doesn’t require approval from someone else. Enjoying yourself now is more about your internal state than what anyone else thinks. Retreating into your own world as the Moon moves through your introspective sign can be quite productive. But you must also remain vigilant, for you are tempted to just relax and take it easy. Living in the moment has its upside, but you can be very self-judgmental if you don’t finish your work.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might believe that you have a healthy attitude about balancing work and play, but your responsibilities will pile up very quickly today if you don’t stay focused on them. Although sweet distractions can break your concentration, you are blessed with an extraordinary level of willpower now. Don’t be self-critical if you slip; just redirect your attention onto your current chores and keep moving forward one step at a time.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Some people mistakenly think that you Mountain Goats don’t know how to enjoy yourself. Today is a day when you can happily prove them wrong. There are four planets now dancing in your 5th House of Spontaneous Pleasure, enabling you to emotionally detach yourself from unfulfilled responsibilities. Once you’re ready to play, you won’t need to justify your actions to anyone else. Fortunately, you could be even more productive after you have had some well-deserved fun.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may be floating on a Neptunian cloud today, it’s still a challenge to let go of someone else’s expectations, especially if others are depending on you. But you don’t have to succumb to their pressures and deadlines. You can obtain great benefit from setting your regular workday aside for a while. Take some wellness time for yourself, if you can; your responsibilities will wait for your return.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel bogged down in your everyday routines, leading you to spend more time dreaming of a different life. But breaking free from old habits might be tougher than it appears. Although the anticipation lures you into new ground today, saying something contrary to the status quo can be a bit disconcerting. Instead of trying to change your situation, consciously alter your attitude first. This may be sufficient to shift your experience out of a rut and gradually into a different direction.

Daily Horoscopes for May 12th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The perfectionist Virgo Moon requires precision in our perceptions and our communications. But it won’t be easy to stay focused today, even if the Virgo Moon filters out some of the noisy distractions. Paradoxically, impulsive Mars forms a cooperative sextile with foggy Neptune, muddying the clear waters with murky fantasies. Although objective logic is warped by our subjective dreams, a harmonious Sun-Moon trine enables us to maintain balance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are normally reluctant to show your vulnerability, often covering it by initiating action instead of waiting for something to happen. But your ruling planet Mars slipped out of your sign yesterday, leaving you open to someone’s harsh criticism. Thankfully, witty Mercury and charming Venus come to the rescue today by overriding any self-doubt. Talking your way out of a difficult situation is admirable as long as you also remain open to what others say.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although the days keep getting busier and busier, you are becoming more adept at blocking out the excess noise. The choice is yours; you can also walk away instead of engaging in all the commotion. Make use of the time you gain by relaxing in a quiet space. Meditating or daydreaming can help you recharge your batteries today. If you’re lucky, you might not even be missed when you slip away for your little escape.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may reconsider your previous plans for the day because you might want to add even more activities to your schedule. However, it’s possible to take the power of positive thinking too far today. Your blind optimism could tempt you to overcommit, letting others down and leaving you discouraged. Be cautious; managing your time wisely enables you to accomplish more than you thought possible and could even prevent an unnecessary disaster.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you have more confidence about a recent career decision today, you aren’t as driven to reach your goal immediately. Your newfound certainty allows you to cut yourself some slack and take it a bit easier for a day or two. But don’t stretch this little break too long or you could fall behind. Set your long-term goals now and work at a pace that enables you to sustain your efforts.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have grown quite content recently to enjoy simple pleasures whenever you get the chance. You don’t need to tell everyone about your inner process, so keeping your feelings to yourself today will serve you well. However, you have things to do now and it would not be wise to put off your current obligations. Instead of hurrying through your tasks so you can relax later, try moving slower and taking the time to smell the flowers and savor the coffee along the way.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s entry into your sign today places you in touch with a feeling that you may have attempted to avoid. You’re not interested in being the leader now and prefer to be just another person in the crowd. But let’s face it; everyone isn’t as committed to perfection as you are. Fortunately, you’re able to work well with others by relaxing your exacting performance standards. Sometimes it’s more important to just get the job done.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be concerned about making a decision that has a direct impact on others at work and you’re not willing to determine the outcome on your own.

But it might be impossible to pass the buck today; check in with your intuition before speaking up and committing to a plan.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Don’t waste too much time with analysis today because rational thinking won’t bring you the best answers. The realms of thought can only take you so far. Instead, trust your intuition now because your psychic radar is right on track. Don’t try to explain your decisions to anyone; just listen to your gut.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You seem to be enjoying yourself today as loving Venus and talkative Mercury both party with your key planet Jupiter. Still, you may be slightly worried that you’re missing something very important. Go about your regular business, but take a bit of time to make sure you don’t glide over unexpressed feelings that need to be addressed. Put away your clever one-liners and move past your own resistance to explore deeper and more personal issues.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone may be very attuned to you today, but you could be so busy working toward your goals that you don’t even notice.

Take the initiative and share your concerns with a trusted friend. You may be pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction to your disclosure.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are actively engaged with your immediate environment today and everything seems to be fine as long as you don’t stop moving. You may believe that you don’t have time to get bogged down by your emotions. However, slowing down long enough to consider the meaning of what’s happening in your life might be the smartest thing you can do. Fortunately, once you are back in touch with your feelings, everything will seem better than it was earlier in the day when you were stuck inside your head.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you might be feeling more content today, your life is busier than you prefer. It’s okay to be satisfied with your recent job performance, even if someone is on your case now because you didn’t pay enough attention to the details on a project. Thankfully, your happiness isn’t dependent on external events or the opinions of others. Integrating your own values into whatever you do is more important than receiving approval from anyone else.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for May 11th is Solitude

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today
 
 

Solitude

Solitude is represented by a single person standing at the end of a boardwalk staring out at a vast, empty panorama. They are truly alone, but may not feel loneliness. They are at a place in their life where the need to withdraw from the our secular world is strong, because their focus should be on their inner self, their morality, and their dreams. The view before them is empty, but it is a canvas on which they may paint their future–a future restricted only by the size of their imagination and courage. For them Solitude is a choice. They chose to take the walkway that distances them from the rest of us. It is also a choice that can be undone. Just as they chose to take a path that leads them away from us, they may choose to turn around and come back at anytime.

As a daily card, Solitude suggest a period in which you need to distance yourself from those around you and explore your inner-self, what is driving your day to day life and decide if you are really on the life path that is best for you. This is a time to revitalize your spirit, and draw your dreams for the future.

New Moon Report for May 11 – Venus and Mercury conjunct Jupiter

Venus and Mercury conjunct Jupiter

Wednesday, May 11

This alignment of the planets of love, intellect and expansion sparks bright ideas, romantic impulses and social engagements. Stimulating conversations ignite big plans that will require more careful research before we can be sure of their viablity. It’s easy to become enthusiastic with new people and social situations and quickly cook up inventive recipes for fun. Joy flows easily as clever words sound witty, brilliant and completely original but they will need the fuel of commitment for these sparks to catch hold and keep burning after the initial excitement fades.
