Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries

This morning may be complicated for communications, dear Aries. You might want to watch for saying something that can be easily misconstrued. It’s also wise today to watch how we express ourselves all around, not only what’s communicated. Some fogginess or confusion is possible, particularly surrounding money and ownership matters. Energies are complicated for practical affairs, including money and work. It’s not a day for new beginnings, but rather one for making adjustments and necessary edits. Decision making can undoubtedly suffer, but it’s primarily because you’re not ready to form a bottom line, and this means waiting things out is not a bad idea at all!
Taurus

The need for some consistency and for building your strength is clear, dear Taurus, with the Sun and Mercury in your resources sector these days. Today can be tricky, particularly when it comes to concerns about money, talents, and resources, however. In fact, there can be misunderstandings regarding finances, opinions, and beliefs. This ambiguity can serve a useful purpose since slowing down now can turn your attention to things you may have overlooked. If you swing from idealizing or romanticizing a situation, to worrying about the worst, remind yourself that the truth lies somewhere between these two poles! It may be a bit of a challenge getting your message across at the moment, but you may very well decide that it was better left unsaid, so aim to reconsider or wait and see.
Gemini

This morning, Mercury in your sign forms an awkward angle to Saturn, reinforcing the need to make adjustments, dear Gemini. Little setbacks are blessings in disguise, though. They might appear to take you further from your goals, but in fact, bring you closer as they prompt you to make needed changes and edits. This way, the finished product will be better. Rushing today can be a lesson in frustration. Do your best to observe rather than jump into new endeavors and important conversations. As the day advances, you loosen up, and it’s easier to see the big picture which eluded you earlier in the day.
Cancer

There can be minor doubts or vague concerns this morning that keep you from charging ahead, dear Cancer, but this can be a good thing, as you may very well need a little more time to get things right. Somebody could be giving you the cold shoulder about recent choices you’ve made, or you could be feeling some pressure to tie up a problem or relationship matter when it may be better to take a deep breath and wait it out. Be as clear as you can in any formal communications. Otherwise, try not to push forward too fast or too hard. Take things a step at a time since there can be a tendency to say the wrong things. The day progresses with far less pressure and worry.
Leo

A problem that you believed had been laid to rest could emerge early today, dear Leo, and you could be encountering the more critical side of others close to you, and possibly of yourself! Try not to behave in an overly defensive manner, as this will not do you any favors. Communications can be unclear as we may be reading too much or too little into them. It’s better to slow down and think before speaking, as mistakes can be made and something you say may rub someone the wrong way. People around you, especially co-workers, can be oversensitive right now. However, as the day advances, it’s easier to see the bigger picture.
Virgo

This morning, watch for misrepresenting yourself, dear Virgo. You may need to wait to make an important decision, as timing can be off now. Brand new endeavors are best left for later. You may be keeping quiet about something when you should speak up, withholding information, or speaking vaguely or prematurely. However, you can’t expect to control what others interpret, and true friends and supporters will give you the benefit of the doubt. If possible, take a break or slow yourself down to get your bearings. Pushing forward right now may lead to a series of minor frustrations. The balance between what’s idealistic and what’s realistic is not likely to be found now, but you’ll see the bigger picture soon. You may need to do some mental swinging before getting to the middle ground. While the morning is complicated and timing can be off, things seem to balance themselves out as the day advances.
Libra

This morning, there is a minor but nagging influence that challenges our perceptions or delivery, dear Libra, as Mercury and Saturn form an awkward angle. There may be some tensions revolving around opinions and ideas, or transportation delays to manage. Try to look beyond words chosen to the intentions behind the communication. Get your mind off people problems by focusing on something more manageable and predictable. Patience is needed now! Fortunately, you have a Venus-Neptune aspect lingering that helps you in this regard. Keep in mind that the things that slow you down now may lead to necessary and useful edits, too.
Scorpio

This morning, there can be some awkwardness with others, and you would be wise to pace yourself, dear Scorpio. Adjustments need to be made before pushing forward. This time favors slowing down and reflecting, but you should probably avoid over-thinking, too, as you are unlikely to see the full story or big picture just for now. You can be more sensitive to criticism, subtle imbalances in your environment, and fluctuations in others’ moods. Keep in mind that others can be touchy as well, although in different ways. Temporary blocks are usually chances to catch your breath, and the day tends to balance itself out as it progresses.
Sagittarius

It can be challenging to come to a firm decision early today, dear Sagittarius. This likely reflects some lack of confidence in what you’re doing or where you’re headed. Allow yourself to steer a little off course today so that you can get your bearings. If possible, schedule tasks that require serious concentration for another day. Finances may need a closer look, though, and worry is only useful if it motivates you to make necessary changes. Otherwise, you are wasting perfectly good time and energy! There can be a misunderstanding or minor disconnect with a significant person in your life, but this can ultimately lead to greater understanding, as annoying as it can be at the moment. The day advances more smoothly, and the Moon’s move into your communications sector stimulates your curiosity.
Capricorn

This morning, routines might suffer a little due to indecision and worry dear Capricorn, or a bit of off-timing. You could be feeling under the weather, likely due to emotions and nervous tension. Take a break from over-thinking things. In fact, concentrating too much on the details or facts right now is a real tendency and can obscure the bigger picture. The path to your goals is unlikely to be a straight line at the moment. Instead of allowing frustration to set in, enjoy the detours that life is offering today and chalk it up to experience. Try to be patient with others you work or spend time with and avoid pushing things too hard. As the day advances, you’re less inclined to take things quite so seriously.
Aquarius

This morning, communication problems are likely, dear Aquarius, as Mercury and Saturn form an awkward angle. You may be misunderstood or could inadvertently misrepresent yourself either by not speaking about something or by talking about something prematurely, although the former may be the better choice at the moment! Review, reassess, and process rather than force a decision. It can be difficult to see things for what they are if you’re see-sawing between wishful and negative thinking. Make adjustments and refinements instead of sweeping changes for best results now. Confidence is likely to return once you meet your obligations, and there can be some trial and error until then. This is, in fact, a good thing, as it allows you to see more possibilities before getting to the point. Later today, the Moon moves into your sign and emotional needs move to the front burner.
Pisces

This morning, watch for some tension in the family circle or with friends, who can misunderstand your words, dear Pisces. Someone close to you may seem difficult to please. Indecision all around can make it difficult for you to make a choice, as well. Avoid choosing today to make an important move or presentation because of this all-around off timing. There can also be some lack of clarity in business and especially financial affairs right now, as important details can be too prominent at the expense of the bigger picture. Pace yourself, exercise patience, and stay flexible for best results today. As the day advances, you’re inclined to worry less about problem areas. You’re also in need of some time out from the hectic pace of life.

Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 2nd:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
