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. Normally, you would just take a few steps back and let someone else assume leadership responsibility. 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. However, connecting with others can make a big difference, so don’t fearfully withdraw because you are worried about appearing vulnerable or dependent. 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.

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.

Daily General Horoscopes for May 10th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The melodramatic Leo Moon’s square to the unflappable Taurus Sun makes it tough to initiate action until the pressure builds to a breaking point. However, something must give or we may suffer the consequences of being overly stubborn with both the Sun and the Moon in fixed signs. Fortunately, we are likely to find a viable solution when the Moon forms harmonious aspects to several planets in enterprising Aries tonight and early tomorrow morning.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are in a highly creative phase and it’s up to you to find the best way to express yourself. This isn’t just about having fun, for you cannot set aside your responsibilities. Your desires may be luring you toward pleasure, but you’re more likely to make a mature choice now, instead of planning your escape. It’s wise to fulfill your obligations, but don’t ignore your most exciting dreams in the process.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Roots indicates that you have plenty of work to do on the domestic front. Although you may need to go to your regular place of employment today, you still might find a way to also spend plenty of time at home. Treat the smallest chores and simplest pleasures as significant acts so you can maintain a healthy and joyful perspective on your life.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s a very busy day as your regular routine becomes more complicated today. You may talk about simplifying your life, but it’s not going to be easy to cut back on your activities. Instead of fretting over what you cannot finish now, slow down enough to catch your breath and just try to meet your obligations as best you can.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s the day to shift into gear and put your plan into motion. You’ve had enough time to process your feelings and to consider what’s ahead and you can’t put off the inevitable. Instead of waiting for a better moment, take the first steps toward your goal now while you have the chance. It could take a while to get there, so don’t delay starting any longer.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can actually feel the Moon now that it’s back in your sign because your moods are vacillating more than usual. But you’re also more confident today as the Moon moves toward a superconductive trine with optimistic Jupiter in your 9th House of Big Ideas. You may be too impatient to proceed logically and methodically, but locking your sights on a distant goal can help to assure your success.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not want to participate in social activities now, but circumstances make it difficult to stay quietly behind the scenes. You need to concentrate on what’s happening, but there aren’t many subjects you are compelled to talk about. Take your time and explore the mysteries of the unknown, for that’s where you’ll make meaningful connections, especially if you share your discoveries with someone you trust.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be feeling as if time is running out, now that it’s the last day of energetic Mars’ visit to your 7th House of Others. Thankfully, you feel more alive because your relationships have grown more intense. But it’s time to stabilize your interactions with your friends and associates, rather than allowing the stress to get the best of you. Instead of worrying about what you receive from your partners, turn the tables and show your generosity of spirit by being of service of others.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feelings are on edge today as the Moon’s square to the persistent Taurus Sun stresses you out. You may have been spending too much time on the Magical Mystery Tour, but now it’s time to put your nose to the grindstone so you can make critical decisions about your future. But there’s no need to push the panic button. Set your frustrations aside and connect with others while you can.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although your close-up vision isn’t very good today, you might feel as if you can see forever. You look out to the horizon and you are certain that the distance has moved even farther away. But this trick of the light enables you to visualize your future while you manage your current schedule. Set the notion of immediate gratification aside. Once you remove the pressure, you may have an easier time reaching your goals.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your anxiety runs deep now because you know how important it is to stay on track and complete everything you have promised. But the temptation of having a good time looms large today and it may be hard to resist. Fortunately, you can work hard to meet your previous obligations and then still have enough time left over for some serious recreation.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your day may be hijacked by friends who feel the need to share their relationship dramas. Whether it’s a new acquaintance or an old romantic partner, it could appear as if someone is trying to limit your personal freedom. Expressing yourself independently is extremely critical now because of its natural rejuvenating power. You won’t have much left to give others unless you take some time to please yourself.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your work-related tasks seem more tedious today, which could make you feel unusually restless. Your solution might be to shake everything up in order to turn a dull job into a field day for the curious. Don’t be afraid to assume power on the job. Fortunately, you should be able to use your authority effectively to accomplish more at work while in pursuit of your higher purpose.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for May 6 – 8

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Emotional Lunar Tides

 May 6 – 8

Emotions hover close to the surface this weekend with the Moon in the supersensitive sign of Cancer. This is Luna’s home sign, making feelings stronger and ups and downs more likely. Generally, the nurturing Cancer Moon is good for familiar places, home cooking, cuddling, nostalgia, old movies and all those sweet protective things that make us feel safe.

Friday looks mellow until late at night when the cautious Cancer Moon crashes into an explosive 90-degree square with unsettling Uranus. This planet of shocks and surprises doesn’t flow well with tender Cancer, making this a time when flexibility is essential. Sudden changes of plans and moods don’t foster a sense of intimacy, although a wild night or impulsive fling with an inappropriate person can seem compelling to some.

The road doesn’t look any smoother on Saturday, starting with a snarky Moon-Pluto opposition in the morning and continuing on with a tense lunar square to Saturn later in the day. These transits are more about digging into the depths of our emotions, bringing unresolved issues to the surface or burying them with distractions and denial. Yet this can be a productive day for those willing to tackle tough problems. This cosmic atmosphere lends itself more to responsibility than playfulness as even minor concerns could block out the Sun with dark clouds of doubt.

Several stressful lunar transits give us a lot to talk about on Sunday and, if we’re honest about our feelings, barriers to intimacy could be blown away. Making a fresh start within ourselves and with others is a worthy reward for all this hard work.

Daily Horoscopes for May 5

General Daily Horoscope

 

We are still experiencing the excitement of what’s new in our lives since five planets are in pioneering Aries. However, the Sun is in practical Taurus, motivating us to finish what we start. But today’s jittery Gemini Moon speeds up our thinking so much that we may become too scattered to stay focused. Thankfully, a midday lunar trine to realistic Saturn might help us temporarily filter out the excess noise so we can actually get some work done.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It seems as if your hectic life keeps getting busier and busier. As much as you enjoy the hustle and bustle, you are looking forward to a quieter time. However, it won’t likely happen today. Fortunately, the fast pace feels good; you don’t have time now to worry about what’s not going right. Nevertheless, pick one task out of everything that’s on your plate and focus on it with all the determination that you have. The results may be more satisfying than you expect.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if your finances are a bit uneven today, even if nothing much has changed recently. But you probably won’t share your insecurities with others now, for you might believe that giving a voice to your fears will only make them worse. You don’t have to dwell on the negatives; take positive action instead — even if it’s as minor as paying a few bills. Anything that gives you a sense of control will help to ease your stress.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your friends may think that you’re not very grounded now that the Moon is moving through restless Gemini, but you are more stable than you appear. Nevertheless, your moods can fluctuate at a rapid rate today, so try keeping your opinions to yourself for a while before sharing them. Instead of running all over the map, speak your piece later on once you’re sure of what you want.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

There’s no need for you to push so hard at work now, especially if you have been focused on your career ambitions all week. It’s not that you can just take the day off, but you can keep your best ideas to yourself for a few more days, giving them a chance to mature. If you share too much of your current thinking today, others may stop listening. Let your patience work in your favor and give your strategy time to develop.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s nearly impossible for you to concentrate on the present moment with the Moon in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals plus five planets traveling through your 9th House of Adventure. Although you are looking forward with great anticipation, you must demonstrate your reliability today by putting in extra effort, because important events are unfolding at work. If you handle the immediate situation with integrity, the future will take care of itself.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have mixed feelings about a new project at work as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Career. Others are pushing you to make a decision today, yet you’re probably unwilling to make a commitment just yet — you may learn new facts that could motivate you to change your mind, or something better could come along. However, you can reduce the uncertainty and increase the stability in your life by choosing now.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be thinking about pursuing a new course of study that isn’t related to your career. Even if you have many choices before you, it’s logistically impossible to follow more than one path. Thankfully, the Moon’s harmonious trine to Saturn in your sign today can give you the clarity you need in order to make the smartest decision. After considering all your options, trust your intuition, pick your direction and get going.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are tempted to talk about your feelings today, even if you’ve been holding them back for a reason. You don’t intend to hurt anyone, but your direct approach might sound insensitive. It’s not what you say that can stir up ill will; it’s how you say it. Think twice before you blurt out the truth. You can still express yourself honestly while also treating others with kindness and respect.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be more curious than usual today as you seek other people’s opinions to help you clarify your own. It takes extra effort on your part now to pin someone down who continues to evade responding to your questions. Unfortunately, the more you push for resolution, the less likely you will get it. Step back and allow others to have some elbow room. You’ll become more confident of your perspective by looking within, rather than listening to anyone else.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

As a general rule, information isn’t something you collect unless you have a way to make use of it as you work toward your goals. You may be learning a lot at work now with the clever Gemini Moon moving through your 6th House of Employment, but you are hard-pressed to apply your new knowledge. Nevertheless, the tools you’re gathering can help you to express yourself in ways you haven’t yet imagined.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may have plenty to do at work, you could get antsy enough that you want to begin your weekend a couple of days too soon. You are able to come up with sufficient reasons to justify your restlessness, but all the talk in the world won’t make your busy schedule any less demanding. Fortunately, managing your calendar becomes easier once you decide to have fun with it, instead of worrying about fitting everything in.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your personal business could keep you hopping today as the light-footed Gemini Moon visits your 4th House of Home and Family. Unfortunately, it may take you longer than you expect to complete each and every task that’s now on your plate. Thankfully, your self-esteem is running high these days, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble responding to the current demands. Set your priorities by making a list to help you be more efficient.

Daily Horoscopes for May 2nd

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Although the Moon’s entry into determined Taurus at 1:58 am EDT helps to settle the energy, it’s more of a sign of things to come with a new emotional cycle starting at tomorrow’s Taurus New Moon. We keep talking about slowing down and establishing a pace of life that we can sustain, but now the need to be practical is undeniable. However, the Sun’s disquieting quincunx with taskmaster Saturn indicates that even simplification can be complicated.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are conflicted when you feel the high-frequency excitement beginning to fade today. You’re relieved because you’re able to take a breath, but also sad to experience a pause in all the action. There’s no need to be concerned since the upbeat energy will soon return. Meanwhile, take advantage of your break by doing something special to recharge your system. Thankfully, your sense of renewed vitality will be useful when the energy picks back up in a couple of days.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although this could be a back-to-work day for you, it seems as if it will also bring you an opportunity to escape. It’s your turn to chill out, so even if you must show up on the job, don’t hesitate to create some personal time so you can contemplate your future. Others may think that you’re being too aloof, but they don’t necessarily understand how you Bulls process your emotions. Integrate your feelings through meditation and active daydreaming before doing anything about them.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are quite insistent about what you want these days as your key planet Mercury moves away from its opposition to restrictive Saturn, enabling you to think more clearly. Oftentimes, you are quite happy changing your mind, depending upon the usefulness of your affiliations. But now you want to make your decisions in response to your dreams, whether or not they are grounded in reality. Don’t get so caught up in being stubborn; let your natural flexibility lead the way, instead.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have the urge to socialize with some of your co-workers for no other reason than to talk about your plans and what you want to do in your future. Expressing your visions of an ideal life isn’t a substitute for making something happen here and now. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy exchanging ideas in a non-judgmental way that can remind you of what’s truly most important. Sharing is a two-way street; listening to others can inspire you to follow your dreams now.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be stuck in an ongoing argument with yourself today as you try to balance your needs with your responsibilities. Unfortunately, your spontaneity may be constrained by previous commitments, giving you less freedom today than you wish. Nevertheless, you know what you must do, even if you are also considering a quick escape. Being practical is the smartest course of action now, since you’ll have more opportunity for guilt-free play once your work is done.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are tying up loose ends because you can work at a steady pace now. Ignore anyone who tells you to work faster; you’ll instinctively do what’s best for your productivity. Luckily, you can effectively defend yourself today. Don’t be afraid to take a firm stand on an important issue, but try not to offend anyone else in the process.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A lighthearted relationship can grow more intense when feelings sink beneath the surface. Thankfully, you are able to describe your emotions with clarity today, but your communication style could clash with someone else’s approach. Go ahead and explain the best you can, but stop talking once you’ve made your point. Don’t be overly impatient; reaching closure might take longer than you think.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You just don’t understand why your co-workers don’t follow through on their promises. You would like to be more forgiving, but still someone can get on your nerves, provoking you to intervene. Unfortunately, throwing a temper tantrum won’t accomplish anything worthwhile. You cannot make anyone else change. Instead, you would be wise to accept full responsibility for your own emotional response and then simply let it go.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Becoming mired in unnecessary details is very annoying, since you typically prefer holistically focusing on the bigger picture. Nevertheless, you see a real necessity to find your way back to the basics today as you create a direct path through all the excitement. Don’t get lost in your work. Although you have a lot to manage now, it’s better to seek a healthy balance between your single-minded ambition and your adventurous spirit.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Sometimes being a hardworking Capricorn really does pays off. If you have been responsible all along, now you get to play. However, others may be jealous, especially if they still have unfinished chores that are infringing on their ability to have fun. Still, you’re far from perfect, and today might reveal something you should have already finished. Don’t take on too much stress; it’s a lot better to enjoy yourself while you can.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have personal obligations that you aren’t necessarily eager to address today. But you realize that procrastinating will probably delay everything else you need to do, too. Overcome your resistance and don’t make your domestic duties less important than they really are. It may not be easy to initiate action now, but you’ll feel more positive once you make some progress.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you have plans for the week, you might not want to change them once you put them into place. Although your stubbornness could work in your favor by helping you to be more productive, adhering to your agenda could become increasingly stressful. A bit of flexibility might help to ease a difficult situation if someone else is stuck. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference; with just a little effort, you could be a real hero.
