New Moon Report for May 11 – Mars in Taurus

Mars in Taurus

Wednesday, May 11, 12:04 am PDT, 3:04 am EDT

Energetic Mars slows down in this fixed sign where it is more inclined to stay in place than to forge ahead. Asserting ourselves may be more difficult with the warrior planet in placid Taurus as overt expressions of anger tend to be repressed. Passive-aggressive behavior often occurs when we’re unable to be straightforward about our feelings. The positive side of this transit is consistency of effort that may not be exciting or creative, but provides a calming sense of continuity in times of radical change.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for May 2 is Mars

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today
 
 

Mars

Mars represents those qualities we commonly associate with the male/yang persona. Mars traits include raw energy, ambition, aggression, confidence, passion, and a sense of adventure. The occurrence of Mars denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. Martian influence may have a negative impact unless it is balanced with an influence that can blunt the brashness and impulsiveness of Mars.

As a daily card, Mars suggests you would be well served by allowing your more aggressive side take control for at least for a short while. Now is a time for you to act with confidence and decisiveness. However, keep in mind that the qualities associated with Mars can do more damage than good if allowed to run free for too long.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 1

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

A burst of positive energy can free us from yesterday’s heaviness, tempting us to go overboard. Feisty Mars conjuncts buoyant Jupiter today, expanding our vision of life, magnifying the importance of current events and giving us a more optimistic outlook for the future. It may be difficult to rein in our enthusiasm, leading us to make promises we cannot keep. The impetuous Aries Moon joins Mars and Jupiter to further encourage the good times.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing. The exuberant Moon-Mars-Jupiter conjunction happening now in your fiery sign may be enough to blast you into orbit, but you’ll need to pay extra careful attention to managing your energy reserves. It’s challenging for you to think about tomorrow when there are six planets in Aries today. Anything you can do to soothe your soul or settle your wild ideas will help to make this a more memorable time.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be all worked up over a new idea today, but won’t necessarily put too much effort into making your vision come true. It’s not that you’re particularly lazy now; it’s just that your common sense could overrule your excitement. Remember, your plan deserves enough time to develop before prematurely rushing into action, especially if it’s as brilliant as you think it is.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This continues to be a socially oriented weekend, but you may actually reach a point where you exhaust yourself just by having fun. Knowing when you’ve had enough is a sign of maturity, but setting limits can sometimes be a challenge. Overcome your fear of missing out on something special; call it quits and take some time to relax so you’ll feel rejuvenated and refreshed going into the week ahead.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although this may be a day away from work, your mind is likely focused on your status in the professional world. This might even involve making plans to accomplish your ambitious career goals. Your optimistic outlook creates an immediate impact on activities with friends or family members today. If you have earned the respect of those you love, enjoy basking in their appreciation. But don’t waste time hesitating now; it’s your turn to take charge.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can burn off excess energy today by doing something physical such as going on a long hike or working in the yard. But it’s also important to engage your mind by learning something new. You may be satisfied by having a discussion with a friend about an entirely unique course of study, perhaps involving religion, metaphysics or politics. Whatever you choose to do now, reach out beyond your comfort zone because going the distance will be far more rewarding than staying on familiar ground.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your interest in getting to the bottom of a mystery could be a bit over the top today. You want answers and you are prepared to ask whatever questions are necessary to find the missing information. However, your obsessive curiosity might seem confrontational, even if that’s not your intention. You’ll make more progress if you don’t push so hard. Be as transparent as possible so your actions are not misunderstood.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A close friend or family member may be so optimistic today that you think he or she has gone overboard. At first it’s fun being around people who are upbeat and interested in doing something out of the ordinary. But, eventually you realize that you might be the one who needs to issue a reality check. However, don’t try to change others by raining on their parade. All you have to do is be clear about the limits of your participation.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This is a perfect day to begin a spring cleaning project with energetic Mars joining visionary Jupiter in your 6th House of Details. You have a clear sense of what you want to accomplish now and you have the stamina to get things done. However, you must take a big job and break it down into smaller manageable tasks in order to be efficient. Just make sure that you don’t bite off more than you can chew or you’ll be tired at the end of the day with little to show for your hard work.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Blowing up balloons can be fun if you know when to stop; otherwise they pop, leaving you with nothing. Likewise, when red-hot Mars fires up buoyant Jupiter today, you could get into trouble by taking a good idea and turning it into such a big deal that it eventually fizzles. Fun-filled activities can put a wonderful smile on your face now as long as you remember to moderate your natural inclination for bigger, better and more.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

As much as you may enjoy a day off to spend at home with your family, too much domestic activity might have you thinking about ways to escape. It’s not that you want to be somewhere else; it’s just that you won’t likely want to give up an entire day without having something tangible to show for it. Try involving others in some sort of home improvement project. If they seem more interested in having fun, join in the festivities for a while and then excuse yourself so you can accomplish something on your own.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are buzzing around today like a busy bee, flying from one flower to the next in a field filled with exciting distractions. There are so many possibilities you might feel a bit lost because you don’t know where to start or what to do next. However, you would be better off to save your rational thinking for another day; now it’s better to just jump in and have fun. Act first and analyze later.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Many people believe that material abundance begins with having healthy self-esteem. The uplifting Mars-Jupiter conjunction in your 2nd House of Self-Worth indicates that your self-confidence is on the rise now and could help you make an important decision. Fortunately, your current choices have a direct impact on your prosperity in the weeks ahead. Set your goals high and reach a little further than you normally would.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, April 30

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

This is an intense weekend with five planets and the Moon in excitable Aries. But attractive Venus opposes repressive Saturn today, limiting our pleasure intake. We want instant satisfaction, yet Saturn delays gratification. Nevertheless, the Moon’s contact with the Venus-Saturn opposition tempts us to over-personalize our experiences. Thankfully, the restraint will be short-lived as we approach a confident Mars-Jupiter conjunction later tonight.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be getting tired of the same old story. You’re hot to trot today, but you must wait for one reason or another. But instead of getting yourself all worked up because you cannot have what you want now, try taking a more mature approach and acknowledge that you may have something important to learn. Others love your fiery approach to life, but they will respect you more if you can also be patient when it’s appropriate.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not allow yourself to have a good time now, especially if you believe that others will judge you harshly if you don’t deliver on your promises. Unfortunately, stern Saturn’s tense opposition to your key planet Venus turns you into your own taskmaster. There’s nothing wrong with catching up on chores; just don’t harbor resentment toward those who choose play over work today. Don’t worry; your chance for fun will be waiting for you later on.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are ready to lose yourself in a crowd today, whether at a party, a sporting event or the mall. It’s your way of temporarily forgetting about all your responsibilities, but this strategy won’t work no matter how invisible you feel or how fast you run. Fortunately, you can still enjoy yourself in a social setting as long as you don’t have escape on your mind. Make the most of your time with others and then return to the chores you set aside earlier.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are uncharacteristically motivated to take bold action because you want to demonstrate a more dynamic side of your personality today. But you could try too hard and end up feeling rather foolish if you think you have to do something out of the ordinary just to be accepted by your friends and family. Instead of playing all your cards out in the open, do what comes naturally. It might be wiser now to assume the role of the strong and silent supporter rather than taking center stage.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to have a little excitement in your life today and you’re ready to lead the charge on an adventure with your friends. Unfortunately, they may not be as enthusiastic as you are now. Instead of trying to get others to support your idea of fun, leave them to their more sedate ways and go off by yourself. When you’re done with your excursion, you can return refreshed and rejoin those you left behind.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re not interested in your typical analytical approach to relationships now; you are intrigued by juicier rewards that lure you out of your comfort zone. You feel more emotionally assertive than usual and might even frighten someone close to you because of your heightened sense of urgency. Paying attention to how others react and having the courtesy to give them the space they need today can bring the results you seek.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

As a Libra, you’re often more interested in maintaining harmony in a relationship than in always getting your way. The moody Moon joins your key planet Venus in your 7th House of Partnerships today, reemphasizing what others want. Although you are normally comfortable with taking care of someone else’s needs, you’ve had enough of being taking for granted. Stand up for yourself now by putting your foot down to set limits. However, don’t be surprised if it takes longer than you prefer to be taken seriously.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are able to tell someone what you want today in no uncertain terms. You’re also able to do it in a manner of clarity that doesn’t blame anyone else for your dissatisfaction. In fact you seem somewhat detached from your needs even as you express them. However, you could be holding onto unexpressed anger, possibly on an unconscious level. Don’t bury your feelings; if something is bothering you, get it off your chest or it could return later in the form of a projection.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may not be willing to modify your plans today in order to be included by your family or friends. You would rather separate yourself from others and keep your sense of integrity, even if it means doing something on your own. Thankfully, you won’t likely feel left out because you could be too busy riding your own wave of creative expression. Nevertheless, you’ll probably feel happy to be back in the fold tomorrow.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are quite aware of how you must suppress certain desires today in order to accomplish very specific goals. You want to have as much fun as the next person, but you’re also able to put personal pleasure into a wider perspective. Still, you can’t help but contemplate the emotional cost of success now. Everything has its price; just don’t sell yourself short.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have set goals that you now realize you cannot quite reach. Or, perhaps, an obstacle prevents you from doing as much as you wanted to do on a project. But instead of feeling defeat or discouragement, you might have a sense of relief as you reconstruct your day now that you have more time to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, today’s dark storm cloud has a silver lining.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be tempted to make an impulse purchase today, but this could be a setup for buyer’s remorse. Perhaps the item in question costs more than you originally thought. Or, maybe, you worry that it’s not a good investment because it’s something you don’t really need. Take your time and logically analyze the pros and cons of spending your money. If after rational consideration the expenditure still makes sense, then go ahead because it’s probably a smart acquisition.

New Moon Report for April 30 –

Mars conjunct Jupiter

Saturday, April 30, 9:26 pm PDT, Sunday, May 1, 12:26 am EDT

Active Mars and expansive Jupiter join up in fiery Aries to set a blaze of enthusiasm that’s made for adventure. Whether it’s a personal quest or a professional enterprise, the ability to burn away doubt and take on risky experiences is strong now. If anger or aggression is high, channeling it toward a creative project will be much more peaceful and productive than engaging in combat. This is high-octane fuel to propel us forward with courage and energy to handle challenges of all kinds.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, April 26

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The progressive Aquarius Moon picks up on supportive aspects to planets in excitable Aries, shifting us from contemplation into action. In particular, cooperative sextiles with impetuous Mars and opinionated Jupiter indicate that our perceptions are keen and we may form conclusions quickly. But the Moon also forms harsher aspects to sensual Venus and passionate Pluto, pushing deep feelings up to the surface and setting up power struggles in love.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It feels as if you’re on the edge of an emotional cliff and you may be considering whether or not to jump. You intuitively know that you will be safe as you float toward the ground, and the anticipation is exciting. Yet the mysterious tug into the abyss can also be scary. You might not be as comfortable in the feeling realm, especially if you’re not in control. Nevertheless, your experience can be meaningful and memorable if you’re willing to take a risk.

The analytical Aquarius Moon stimulates intense Pluto and your key planet Venus today, plunging you into an emotional drama. Thankfully, this can open up your heart in a very profound way. However, problems in love arise if you believe you’ll be able to always stick to your agenda. It helps to acknowledge that you don’t have all the answers because being flexible isn’t easy for you. Forget about being right; it’s better now to ride the waves of your feelings, instead.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are tempted to dance your way around a very delicate topic of discussion today. However, you can inadvertently bring up unnecessary pain for someone you love if you cannot face the underlying emotional conflict in a mature manner. Forget about the clever comebacks and witty responses. Making light of your feelings detracts from your real work now. Overcome your fear and accept the responsibility to explore real solutions rather than superficial ones.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You don’t want to create an emotional conflict today, but you realize that stepping into unfamiliar territory now can lead to a worthwhile reward. You might need a bit of help from a friend or lover to assist you through your resistance, but your fears should dissipate once the conversation gets underway. Remember, there isn’t a right way to respond as long as you’re true to your heart.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Allow your hopes and dreams to inspire you to swim against the tide today because this can bring you closer to your passions. This isn’t an easy day; you may have to stir up some difficult issues so you truly feel alive. Just remember that you can express yourself without making anyone else wrong. You can effectively bring a conversation back to your perspective while acknowledging that others don’t need to agree with your point of view.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s helpful to remain as neutral as possible today if someone else tries to engage you in a struggle for control. However, this will be increasingly difficult to do throughout the day, especially if you feel threatened. Even if you do not want to escalate a conflict, your detachment can only last so long. You shouldn’t have to suppress your feelings if you are clear about your message. Taking a few deep breaths will help prevent you from saying something that you regret later on.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friend or workmate may put you in an uncomfortable position today, asking you to reveal something you intended to keep private. The stakes can be too high to play games now; your best strategy is to express your feelings rather than pretending that everything is okay. Ultimately, a difficult conversation can clear the air of unspoken tensions and pave a path toward a more meaningful relationship.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your ruling planet Pluto is tensely aspected by the Moon today and sensual Venus later tonight, driving you to test the boundaries of love and to seek the intensity that may be absent from your life. But your fierce passion could have the exact opposite effect on someone else. If others believe that you are being too forceful, they might withdraw, enticing you to apply additional pressure. Although you don’t have to hide your feelings, it would be smart to soften your approach.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are attracted to the unknowable mysteries that are stirred by love today. But your fears tempt you to retreat when you get close to emotions you cannot control. This is a bit of a paradox because you won’t be able to experience the magic if you’re not willing to delve into the shadows. Don’t pretend that you are in charge when you’re not. Expressing your vulnerability can open a doorway to intimacy now that was previously hidden from view.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Passionate Pluto’s long-term visit to your sign is stimulated today by the Moon and Venus, the planet of love. It’s not a simple task to explore your sensual desires because they may take you further than you want to go. However, the rules won’t make you feel safe now, for it’s apparent that there are no absolute limits. Thankfully, your uncharacteristic willingness to delve into the uncertainty of your feelings can bring you closer to happiness.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Memories that you believed were safely hidden away may now explode into your consciousness, shattering your illusion of emotional detachment. Needless to say, this is disconcerting, for you are more comfortable when your rational thoughts are in charge. It’s no use trying to put everything back as it was. Instead, be responsive to whatever happens today by openly expressing what’s in your heart. You can always reclaim your cool intellectual demeanor tomorrow.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want an emotional connection now that has real meaning, but the intensity of the moment may be even more than you can imagine. Although you’re eager to explore unfamiliar territory in search of love, you prefer that things were simpler. Nevertheless, taking a risk with someone you trust and sharing your feelings requires courage. However, the cost is worth it, for you just might discover a precious gem that can help heal your heart.
