Your Horoscopes for Sunday, May 29th

The Moon shifts into steady Taurus at 9:01 am EDT, smoothing out our jangled nerves. Sensual Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus, and she helps us make love last as she forms a magical quintile to stabilizing Saturn today. But talkative Mercury runs into the dark side of intense Pluto, stirring up trouble by daring us to share our feelings. However, with four planets now in Taurus, we’re apt to take the easy way out of any predicament if we can.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re conflicted today as you sense the shift of energy and the intensity begins to fade. You’re simultaneously happy and sad to feel this pause in all the action. Be smart and take advantage of the peace and quiet by doing something mellow to recharge your batteries. Your refreshed vitality will be needed once the pace picks up again in a few days.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Instead of expending your energy doing a variety of tasks, delay some of your chores for another time. Today is your day to relax and simply contemplate your life. Others may think you’re just being lazy, but that’s because they don’t appreciate how you process information. You need time to integrate recent experiences, so give yourself permission to enjoy yourself instead of running around in circles.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be quite insistent these days because you are driven by Mercury, Venus and Mars all visiting your 12th House of Destiny. You are often very adaptable, but now you can grow quite stubborn, especially if your goals are within reach. You’re not willing to step out of conflict’s way just to make your day easier. Stand up for yourself by directly facing anyone who threatens your progress. Remember, you can always demonstrate your flexibility at another time.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You want to hang out with some of your friends or members of your family today, but have no actual agenda other than talking about your dreams and what you want to do in your life. Keep in mind that expressing your visions of the future isn’t just about taking a flight of fancy. To the contrary, let yourself feel the down-to-earth pull from the practical Taurus planets by establishing clear priorities and then sticking to your action plan.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be at odds with yourself today; on one hand, you’re annoyed that your spontaneity is being constrained by previous obligations, affording you less wiggle room than you prefer. And yet you know exactly what you have to do now, even if you’re tempted to avoid your responsibilities. However, being practical is your best course of action at this time. Don’t worry; you’ll have more opportunity to play later on in the week.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have big plans and want to get a lot accomplished today. You’re thrilled because you are finally able to work at your own pace and sustain your efforts on your own power. But don’t listen to those who try to get you to work faster; you will naturally make choices that increase your productivity in the long run. If necessary, put your foot down before shifting your plans to accommodate someone else. Save the negotiating for another day.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A casual relationship will likely become more intense now as the Moon enters your 8th House of Deep Sharing and your feelings become fixed. You’re not interested in getting involved in some new age group process; you’d rather do it on your own. Nevertheless, you’ll gain a healthier perspective if you can find one trustworthy person to confide in. But don’t be too impatient today, for there are no immediate shortcuts on the road to mutual understanding.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone who is thinking too much can get on your nerves today, since you don’t understand why anyone would choose to make life more complex than it already is. You would prefer not to interfere, but you also want to wake them up from their little misunderstanding. Although it may appear that this is another person’s problem, it’s really yours, too. Nevertheless, this might be one of those times when you need to accept responsibility for your own feelings and then just let go of control.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Four planets in your 6th House of Minor Annoyances could bog you down in unnecessary details while you’d prefer to focus on the big picture. Still, you may be faced with the very real necessity of living simply and getting back to basics today. Do what you can to carve out your quiet path in an exciting and noisy day. Find a healthy balance between your adventurous spirit and your single-minded ambition.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you attended to your work when you should have, now you get to play. Other people may be jealous when you get to relax, for they still have unfinished chores that are infringing upon their time for fun. Nevertheless, you aren’t perfect, and today’s pressure could highlight something else you should have already completed. Do what you must but don’t take on too much; it’s far better to enjoy yourself as long as you can.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have work to do around the home today, but you may not be eager to start. Obviously, you realize that procrastination delays everything else you want to do, too. Lean on your own convictions; overcome your inertia and fulfill your responsibilities. Do your household chores now instead of putting them off until later. It may not be easy to initiate action, but you’ll feel more confident once you get going.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you have specific plans for the week ahead, you won’t want to stop and change them once you are already in motion. Although your determination tends to work in your favor by helping you to be more effective, it can also add to your stress if circumstances change. Your insistence on maintaining the status quo could be your downfall today. A little flexibility on your part can ease a difficult situation if you are stuck. Don’t miss the chance to be a hero now.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for May 27 – 29

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Be In the Moment

May 27 – 29

The weekend begins with a “live for the moment” attitude with the Moon speeding through spontaneous Aries on Friday and Saturday. This lunar placement provides a spark for those stuck in a dull relationship or people looking to meet someone new. The beauty of this restless Aries Moon is that it encourages us to think less and act more. Sure, there are some mistakes that can come from that kind of approach, however, when it comes to matters of the heart it may be better to play the game awkwardly than to sit on the fence and not do anything at all. There’s a sense of immediacy that helps us know what we want without having to over-analyze our intentions.

Don’t let doubt or despair get in the way on Friday as the Moon’s hard aspects with planetary tough guys Saturn and Pluto will be behind us by sundown. A lack of lunar connections makes Saturday a kind of free day when we are less bound by limitations and rules. Explore new people and places, or take a partner somewhere he or she has never been before. Instead of trying to control events, it’s helpful to follow our instincts and see where they lead us.

On Sunday morning, the Moon enters earthy Taurus, slowing down the emotional pace and inviting a bit of self-indulgence. Breakfast in bed or a sumptuous brunch fills the belly and warms the heart. There’s less need for explanations now as the Moon’s message is to simply enjoy the delights of the senses in all their delicious forms.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 27th

The independent Aries Moon encourages us to express ourselves, and her conjunction with electric Uranus adds a sense of urgency to our needs. However, being direct isn’t necessarily the fastest way to reach satisfaction, since the Moon’s square to shrewd Pluto increases the emotional complexity and her opposition to austere Saturn decreases the support we receive from others. Meanwhile, an eccentric Mercury-Uranus semisquare wires us for change.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a short temper today with the Moon in reactionary Aries, and your shoot-from-the-hip delivery could turn a sticky situation into a real problem. Fortunately, a little common sense will go a long way to prevent a meltdown over a misunderstanding that won’t matter much in the long run. If you get caught up in the heat of the moment and have to express your feelings, at least minimize the potential damage by accepting responsibility for your role in the current situation.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may be required to work with someone whose long-term goals are not the same as yours, at least try to see things from an open-minded perspective. Rather than letting your frustration explode in an unpleasant interaction now, take the high road by acknowledging that your differences don’t have to impact your cooperation in a negative way. You can still be true to yourself today while putting patience ahead of insecurity.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

An ongoing imbalance of power could rear its ugly head today. You might feel as if others are secretly working against you, yet no one comes out and says anything directly. Your best response to this uncomfortable situation is to remain as optimistic as you can, even if you grow more irritated throughout the day. Relying on your natural flexibility and sidestepping the conversations you want to avoid now should ultimately work in your favor.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Expressing negativity isn’t always appropriate, yet showing your anger today could be a sign of strength. Sometimes your first impulse is to emotionally withdraw, leading to a passive-aggressive reaction. However, your stress can quickly push you to the edge now, provoking you to lose control if you aren’t aware of your own inner process. Denying your feelings only frustrates you faster, so share your concerns without getting hooked by your attachment to what other people think.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may not like what’s happening today, you probably don’t believe that the current problem is really yours. Nevertheless, from a cosmic perspective, everyone is performing a role in your personal drama and it’s annoying if the actors in your script are working against your efforts. Even if others seem disgruntled, keep bringing your focus back to your feelings. Ironically enough, once you take responsibility for your part, the erratic energy should begin to settle down.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A stressed-out workmate may not act nicely toward you today, yet it’s still wise to discuss what’s going on, rather than avoiding confrontation. But there’s no need to force the issue because the truth will come to the surface now with or without your intervention. But if you decide to push things along by talking about someone’s irritating behavior, be direct and get right to the point. Properly considered words can effectively act as healing agents if delivered with good intentions and kindness.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Others are hard to read today. You may go out of your way to be nice to someone, but your amicable behavior seems to increase your frustration and your uncertainty. The friendlier you are, the worse you feel now. Trust your instincts, even if you don’t have the facts to support them. But don’t start a fight without a real opponent; shadowboxing won’t lead to a solution and will only tired you out. Wait until you have more information before confronting anyone with the truth.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may want to do your job in a new and different way today, but the dynamics seem more complicated because something or someone is blocking your path. Powerful emotions are lurking just under the surface and you’re concerned that they could sidetrack your day. Although you might get drawn into a conflict if you’re not careful, you would be wiser to keep your nose clean for now. Wait until the intensity settles down before shaking up the status quo.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

All would be fine today, but someone may not be playing according to your rules. It feels as if a raincloud is moving in on your big game, even though it’s still sunny. Don’t let fear dampen your enthusiasm. Instead of trying to outrun bad weather, head off developing problems by facing negativity directly. Avoiding blame now will have a positive impact on the final outcome.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The feisty Aries Moon battles with unrelenting Pluto, raising concerns about how your personal story is unfolding and who controls your destiny. Your strong resolve can block out some of the tension, but purposefully remaining unaware of it only deepens the problem. It’s counterproductive to avoid conflict today, so bring any differences out into the open. Confrontation may be inevitable now, but healthy compromise offers a lasting solution to the current stress.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your life is a bit hectic today and things could fall apart unless you pay close attention to your immediate environment. You prefer to play your cards when you’re ready, but may be forced to play them according to someone else’s strategy. Don’t panic; it may be smarter to walk away from the table and return to the game after you have collected your thoughts. Your strategy will improve when your feelings are not being pulled all over the place.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Being caught up in a wave of social activism may not help your personal life, but it can still be a good thing. If your compassion leads you to spending time with people who think like you, go ahead and ride the surge while it lasts. However, this might be a short-lived passion for you, even if it’s a lifelong commitment for others. Don’t resist your feelings, your current journey can teach you something important about your place in the world.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 25th

The dreamy Pisces Moon increases our fantasies and encourages us to escape from reality. We are tempted to act impulsively on our unconventional ideas because the Sun’s early morning sextile to wild and crazy Uranus provokes risky behavior. But radical actions will have sobering ramifications when reckless Mars forms an ill-adjusted quincunx with karmic Saturn. We must learn from our mistakes and do whatever is necessary to be responsible.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your planetary ruler Mars prompts you to initiate action without considering the consequences, while taskmaster Saturn enforces a very different set of rules today. You must justify every single thing you set out to do now or circumstances could prevent you from accomplishing your goals. Unfortunately, even with a well-conceived strategy, it’s still not easy to get much done. Paradoxically, it’s counterproductive to push so hard, so ease up and take cues from those around you.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Subconscious drives increase your desire to act decisively today, but common sense tells you to use self-restraint in all that you do. It’s difficult to find the right amount of force as you attempt to make your dreams come true, yet turning them into reality can be very rewarding. Avoiding unseen problems is easier if you just make time to analyze your options before doing something you might regret.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be confused because it seems as if everyone thinks you should be handling things differently. However, none of their ideas feel exactly right to you. Don’t question your own judgment today; others might not be able to see your truth. Self-doubt is unproductive; go ahead and trust your intuition now, even if it is contrary to the well-intended advice you receive.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your confidence is high as you imagine what you will be doing later in the day, but your actual actions may be thwarted by circumstances beyond your control. Unfortunately, you might have already made bold commitments that you don’t want to break, leaving you little time to achieve your objectives. Although your optimism will probably wane, it doesn’t make sense to play the role of a victim. Stand your ground; do as much as you possibly can today and save the rest for tomorrow.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The spontaneous Sun-Uranus sextile tempts you to skip out on your obligations, but avoiding your responsibilities now is not a smart move. Instead of following a whim today, it makes a lot more sense to cool your heels and resign yourself to delaying the fun until you have completed your objectives for the day. But if you meet too much resistance, try backing off just a little bit. Pushing against an immovable obstacle won’t be productive and could even tire you out.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have a real action plan today and you’re eager to get started. But someone may not be as supportive as you wish, making success an uphill battle. It might even seem as if others are purposefully working to sabotage your efforts, but it’s not helpful to get sidetracked by this kind of drama. Instead of worrying about anyone else now, just show up and do the best you can. If your strategy makes sense, your determination will gradually overcome the resistance.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel as if every step you take is being blocked today, but your attitude might just be the result of your frustration. If you are unhappy about what you are currently doing, suppressing your disappointment is not healthy. Avoiding your feelings can trick your psyche into unconsciously seeking out the negativity that you have pushed into the shadows. Rather than struggling to get your message across, consider what you need to learn before trying again.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you are annoyed with someone’s obstinacy today, go ahead and bring your feelings out into the open. If you don’t, a small irritation could begin to fester and become a serious problem. However, caution is also advised if you decide to reveal your current frustration because you may make matters worse if you blame a friend or associate for your dilemma. Minimize your anxiety and relieve the tension by sharing your inner process without judging anyone else.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your impatience could create tension if you demand too much from someone today. You might even try to control things by exercising more authority. Unfortunately, this ineffective management style could create problems. It is wiser to be honest and express your vulnerability by letting others know about your areas of concern. However, it’s not useful to expect them to fix your problems, but a healthy exchange of ideas can reveal something important you didn’t know.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your methodical approach to work may not be as effective as you wish today, and this could annoy you so much that you grow angry. It takes a lot to knock you off track, yet now the little things pile up until they seem like a crisis. It’s more important to build a stable foundation on which to stand than trying to reach your goals overnight. Don’t get distracted by your fear of failure; instead, just pay attention to the ground beneath your feet and the task right in front of you.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone may be making demands that require you to adjust your calendar today, but all your efforts seem to be for naught. Once the fabric of your day begins to unravel, nothing you do seems to put it all back together again. You could consume a lot of energy trying to reestablish your sense of order, but it’s probably smarter to let the house of cards fall. Once the dust has settled you’ll be able to recreate your schedule better than ever.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s unnerving if a good friend becomes overly critical today. Although you are rightfully upset by this apparent betrayal, it’s likely that you’re expecting too much. Rather than stubbornly holding on to your previous assumptions, relax your grip on the situation by temporarily releasing your attachment to your goals. Ironically, as you let go, others may begin to show the encouragement that they were previously withholding.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 24th

The intellectual Aquarius Moon shapes the early morning and her entry into compassionate Pisces at 8:23 am EDT shifts our perceptual framework from a conceptual to an emotional one. The Moon’s square to the curious Gemini Sun gets us wondering about how our feelings influence our thoughts. A frustrating Venus-Saturn aspect requires patience, while mental Mercury’s creative quintile to metaphysical Neptune assures us that imagination rules.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be content with your dreams now, but you’re also aware that there is more to life than your fantasies with so many incomplete projects demanding your attention. Even if you’re able to postpone a deadline for another day or two, you can’t escape thinking about everything you have yet to finish. But worrying in advance doesn’t accomplish anything unless you’re ready to do something about it now. Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your reliability can earn the respect of your associates, especially if you’re willing to make a decision today and stand by it. Even if your ideas are unpopular, your serious demeanor convinces others to go along with your choice because they realize how much thought has gone into your response. Nevertheless, picking one side over another is still tricky business, so give yourself permission to change your mind if you are so inclined.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You cannot easily settle down because you’re thinking about the possible repercussions to what you’re doing. Your previously optimistic outlook may be sagging because a special opportunity isn’t looking quite as good now. Intuitively, you know that once you make up your mind you won’t be able to go back and undo your decision, so take all the time you need before announcing your final choice.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be having a difficult time today, but others probably won’t be aware of your stress because you’re able to keep it to yourself. You have a very particular idea of what you want your future to look like, yet you might be convinced that you’re not on the right track. Don’t try to talk yourself out of your dreams, even if they make your life more complicated now. Your self-doubt will eventually fade and you’ll realize that nearly anything is possible once you put your mind to it.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a unique point of view today, which increases your chances of surprising others, especially if they want to conveniently place you inside a traditional box. Ironically, your perspective isn’t quite as radical as it seems; it’s just that you may overstate your position as you try to make your case. Although you are quite opinionated, you should be able to get the support you need now as long as you mix integrity into your passions.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have an inaccurate view of your partner or co-worker today and yet you’re able to logically justify your opinion. Fortunately, you have an open mind and are willing to shift your perspective as you learn more about what’s actually happening. Although you’re tempted to scatter your energies now, you can achieve better results if you address the tension in a troublesome relationship. Resolving interpersonal dynamics can help you find the time to reach your other goals, too.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Instead of concentrating on your tasks at work today, you might be inclined to kick back and enjoy yourself. But you may have to fulfill your responsibilities first, so don’t take on any more than what you must. Your wisest strategy now is to balance work with play, rather than declaring either of them as more important than the other.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s odd to think that the Moon’s entry into imaginative Pisces can bring you back to reality, but her square to the Sun in your 8th House of Transformation today actually does have that effect. The dreaminess further fades with a down-to-earth Venus-Saturn aspect, exposing the limitations of your current perspective. But don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, for your inner child can teach you an important lesson if you let it come out to play.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you might need to go to work, you probably would prefer disappearing within your own home today. Nevertheless, once you do what is required, you could go back to the seclusion of your residence, turn off the phone and declare temporary independence from the outside world. For someone who normally likes to be the life of the party, hiding out now can be your secret guilty pleasure.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t know what to do as the Moon joins indecisive Neptune in your 3rd House of Information. Although you’re able to say the right things that inspire others, you still might see yourself as a fraud because judgmental Saturn prevents you from perceiving yourself clearly today. Keep in mind that your uplifting words can be even more effective now if you believe in them yourself.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are full of hope today as the Moon joins idealistic Neptune. But you may also be fearful that your meager efforts might not be enough to make things better. Don’t waste precious time belittling your contribution. Instead, shift the energy and focus on what you can do. Global change will not be the result of extraordinary work by a few people; it will come from the combined smaller deeds of everyone.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s conjunction with spiritual Neptune in your sign today highlights your unique connection to all of humanity and the entire cosmos. You are unable to fully separate yourself from the larger picture, yet, paradoxically, an awkward Venus-Saturn aspect increases your current sense of isolation. Fortunately, taking a bit of time out of your busy day to meditate or pray can be enough to remind you that all fish live in the same sea and that individuality isn’t as important as it seems.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 23rd

Today’s creative Venus-Mars conjunction in pragmatic Taurus enables us to concentrate on the power of now. Although the connection between artful Venus and assertive Mars can be playful, we may become obsessed with what we are doing in the moment. Fortunately, the Aquarius Moon reflects our need to be a part of the larger community. However, communicator Mercury’s uneasy aspect to taskmaster Saturn warns us not to be too rigid in our thinking.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may think you know what’s happening today, but you could still miss the boat. Fortunately, your friends might be able to help you see the truth. It’s not that they know more than you; it’s just that they want what’s best for you and will tell you what they honestly think. Holding on to your current plans might seem like the smartest thing to do, but remember that you may have made up your mind even before you had all the facts.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might still feel a bit spacey today if you’re unable to shake off yesterday’s mood. Although this confusion can be challenging if you have a decision to make, you probably know exactly what you want. The problem is that you don’t know the shortest route to your destination. You aren’t happy if you can’t read the signals, but get over your discomfort; your path will become clear if you stay focused on your goal.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult to make any sense out of the data you have today because logical Mercury remains frustrated by stern Saturn’s demands for more facts. No matter how objective you think you are now, your analysis is still colored by your opinion. You may be very careful with your words, but you still come up short delivering your message. Don’t give up; keep searching for the missing pieces of the puzzle. They will eventually fall into place, but not without patience and extra effort on your part.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The conceptual Aquarius Moon may leave you feeling a bit detached from your emotions. You might be nostalgic, even if your past wasn’t actually as sweet as you now remember it. If you’re struggling for a simple route home and need some reference points, it’s perfectly natural to look back. Just keep in mind that these recollections are biased, so don’t make any serious decisions based upon them. Wait until you fully return to the present prior to giving your final answer.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you might have a project in mind, a friend or an associate could open your eyes to a new alternative today. Proceed with caution because the opportunity may not be as good as it seems and you might not be considering all the facts. You can analyze what can go wrong without dwelling on the negative. There’s no reason to be overly pessimistic; just add a healthy dose of reality to any plans you make at this time.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could underestimate the amount of time it should take to do a particular job today. However, your ability to single-mindedly focus on your goal enables you to compensate for any errors in judgment. Unfortunately, you still may not complete everything you promised, but your honest explanation should be enough for others to understand. Tell the truth, but don’t turn it into an excuse. Continue working hard and others will soon recognize the quality of your work.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re ready for the workweek because you believe that collaborating with others will be fun and productive. But looking ahead too far can distract you from something that’s right in front of your nose today. Remember, you must take a proactive role in achieving your goals, even if you have to make adjustments to your plan along the way. Don’t worry about someone who thinks you should wait; if your intuition says do it now, then go ahead and listen.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you think that you’re not being appreciated now, you may go out of your way to let others know exactly how you feel about the situation. Although expressing yourself is a wise move, it can also complicate your life. You aren’t likely to retreat from complexity, especially if it’s directly in the path of your truth. Fortunately, the Venus-Mars conjunction in your 7th House of Relationships indicates that your willingness to take a risk in the name of integrity today should pay off.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can visualize your ideal situation in your mind’s eye and may be certain that this is exactly how things will unfold. But your friends and associates aren’t as sure of your current optimism, which appears unwarranted to them. Nevertheless, you cannot see anything wrong with your line of thought. Fortunately, you might not be as far off base as others think, but accepting a reality check from someone you trust is rarely a bad move.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are quite concerned with doing the right thing now because you have your heart set on an objective and don’t want to waste any time. Although your intentions are serious, you cannot completely suppress your inner child that wants to come out and play today. It’s wonderful if you can carve out some space to have fun; just don’t get greedy and take too much. Find satisfaction in the little things and then return to your larger ambitions.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your life might get a little strange today and your emotional reactions could surprise you. You are usually somewhat moodier when the Moon is back in your own sign, but unexpected twists and turns are even more prevalent now that the Sun is moving toward a sextile with erratic Uranus. There’s nothing you must do but remain flexible; whatever happens is probably synchronized with mysterious forces that may forge a new direction in your life.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Spiritual Mystery may bring you assistance from unseen quarters today. You seem to intuitively know which way to go and pieces just effortlessly fall into place. But trusting a spirit guide, a guardian angel or the luck of the draw won’t be enough. You must also pay attention to the facts and balance your instincts with your perceptions of the real world. Nevertheless, don’t say no to an opportunity just because you’re afraid of the unknown.

General Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 22nd

The Sun’s dynamic square to fuzzy Neptune confuses us by blurring our senses today. Our dreams can lure us off track if we cannot distinguish facts from fantasies. The restless Gemini Sun entices us with choices, but a cluster of planets in bull-headed Taurus creates inertia, making a change of direction more difficult, even if it’s a smart idea. Meanwhile, the intelligent Aquarius Moon gives us logical reasons to validate what we think we know.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are inspired to put your finances in order today, but it may be challenging to actually follow through on your intentions. Handling money matters requires singular concentration, yet your vivid imagination can interfere with your ability to stay focused. Nevertheless, your fiscal stability is a worthwhile goal, so every time you wander off in your thoughts, just bring yourself back to the job at hand.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus is squared by the rational Aquarius Moon, emphasizing the conflict between what you want and what you truly need. You are eager to share your thoughts with someone you trust while talkative Mercury is in your sign. You might think that you’re being perfectly clear now, but your actions don’t seem to support your words. It may be a better strategy to work diligently toward reaching satisfaction without saying too much for a day or two.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Mercury the Messenger is revving up your brain and activating your 12th House of Secrets. You have a lot to say, but aren’t sure how to work your thoughts into a conversation. You don’t necessarily want to be left alone today now that the Sun is in your 1st House of Self, but a miscommunication or a misunderstanding might disrupt your social plans. The good news is that it’s easier to stay on your path if you have fewer distractions.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are lulled into a surreal mental space but the emotionally detached Aquarius Moon is visiting your 8th House of Transformation, encouraging you to use your intellect to interpret the mysterious symbols of your dreams. Unfortunately, this may be a dead end strategy because rational analysis won’t uncover any hidden meaning. Instead, follow your imagination and you’ll remember what your subconscious mind is trying to tell you when you least expect it.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The conceptual Aquarius Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners could attract a very intelligent person into your life who believes that he or she has the answers you seek. But you don’t want to be distracted by anyone because you’re trying to figure out how you will get through the time crunch that you now face. Ultimately, you can create unnecessary frustration by concentrating on what’s ahead before you handle a more immediate situation first.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your unrestrained idealism might tempt you to set your sights too high today. Thankfully, your approach is methodical and you can prioritize all the chores that you want to finish. But you may have to let some of your pet projects fall to the wayside. Being selective and eliminating non-essential chores should help you feel less anxious, especially if you preemptively handle a potential problem, rather than waiting for it to turn into a minor disaster.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus has been cavorting with noisy Mercury and pushy Mars, replacing sweet romance with tough talk. Fortunately, you can reclaim your sensuality now by shifting the focus to nebulous Neptune. Let go of your personal tastes and specific desires by detaching yourself from what may happen. Don’t waste time by letting others know what you want. Instead, surrender to the flow; you can always check your GPS tomorrow and then decide where to go next.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Sun’s entry into your 8th House of Deep Sharing reminds you that dancing around surface issues isn’t all that fulfilling. You want to build meaningful relationships with close friends or family. However, your desires may be thwarted by someone who has a very different agenda. Don’t try to talk the other person into seeing things your way; the more you interact today, the further apart you grow, so avoid lengthy explanations at all costs.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might think you have a very practical strategy to finish your long list of chores today, but your idealistic solutions may fall apart once you start executing your plans. You could underestimate how much time a job could take, or maybe you discover that you’re missing an important tool. Either way, working faster isn’t the answer. Ironically, you’ll finish sooner if you slow down. Doing a job right the first time is more efficient than having to do it again.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can grow anxious when you misinterpret what’s happening in your life today, especially if your lack of clarity has to do with financial matters. The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of Self-Worth puts money on your mind, and a dreamy Sun-Neptune square can inflate your expectations and set you up for disappointment. Avoid discouragement by remaining realistic about your resources and staying aware of the time and money that will be necessary to make a creative idea worthwhile.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today you seem to be attracted to anything that allows you to lose yourself in a crowd of people or get caught up in a group cause. But you won’t be able to run away from yourself because you’ll probably bump into someone you know just when you thought you escaped. Rather than trying to sidestep a difficult emotional interaction, just stay present with your feelings. You might be pleasantly surprised by what happens when you show up with your heart and not just your head.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Sun’s square to your key planet Neptune can act like a green light that’s inviting you to luxuriate in the rich symbolism of your imagination. Fortunately, you’re not a stranger to slipping behind the veil of consciousness. However, it’s challenging now to put your dreams to work. Today is your day of rest; instead of actively planning your next move, just let your mind wander without any specific agenda.

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 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

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.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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.
