Horoscopes
Aries
The Full Moon today awakens feelings that you may have kept at bay, dear Aries, and you can experience sudden desires that seem to pull you away from what you’re doing. This is especially true if you’ve been too immersed in the material world, a business, or practical projects and focus. Now is the time for entertaining your very real needs for spiritual and emotional fulfillment, a connection to something bigger than yourself or your current projects, or to more meaningful pursuits – something you can really throw yourself into with passion and enthusiasm. You can certainly feel stirrings to change things up now. While it doesn’t make sense to follow your every whim, it is important that you plan to fill more of your needs as you go forward. For some of you, today’s revelations and catalysts for making changes can be about relationship needs and wants, true feelings for someone, or a realization about money or dependencies.
Taurus
The Full Moon today occurs in your opposing sign, dear Taurus, and reminds you to check in on whether you’re living your life in a balanced way. Relationships can be in strong focus and others may need (or demand) your attention. There can be epiphanies about your feelings or needs for others, and these can be catalysts for making personal changes or living your life differently going forward. A significant other may motivate you to make a change. Others can inspire you now, or they could reveal something about you that is pivotal and leads to an all-new focus or direction. You are likely to feel quite drained with the events and magnified feelings of the day, but you can also learn a lot about yourself and the people you care about.
Gemini
The Full Moon today illuminates the sector of your solar chart that rules your daily habits and routines, dear Gemini, and you can have an epiphany of sorts about the work you do or the ways you go about filling your needs and taking care of yourself. If you’ve been spending a lot of time attending to the world of emotions, and many of you have recently, then this can be a time when the practical world demands your attention. There can be a strong realization about your work that serves as a turning point, whether your passions are rekindled, or you recognize the need to make changes and look for projects or work that’s more fulfilling. You might also recognize the need for more physical fitness or improved health routines now.
Cancer
The Full Moon occurring today illuminates your creative sector, dear Cancer, and encourages you to indulge your feelings, share your creations, and follow your heart. This is a time for pivotal discoveries of your feelings for someone or particular projects in your life. You can be tempted to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic friendship can reach a turning point. Feelings can seem to overflow, and while this is an important process, it’s a good idea to take some time with them before making huge decisions. All of this aside, there is also good energy for creative work and ideas with friends and family today – you’re all set to put a good idea into motion.
Leo
The Full Moon today illuminates the sector in your solar chart that rules house and home, dear Leo, as well as your sense of safety and belonging. This lunation can point to a turning point regarding your living arrangements or conditions, or it can stimulate strong feelings about where you want to live or how you want to live. While you’ve been paying more and more attention to your outer life these days, attention now turns to your inner world and home life. Also today, the Sun, your ruler, is involved in a lovely configuration that stirs your creativity and stimulates your desire to make something solid of your ideas and plans. You’re in an excellent position to promote a business, your writings, or a hobby.
Virgo
Today’s Full Moon comes at a time when you’re discovering all sorts of buried feelings, dear Virgo, and there might also be some information that’s surfacing now that steers you in new directions. This Full Moon occurs in your sector of communications and the mind, affecting your attitude and viewpoint. There can be a conversation or social connection happening now that stirs up all sorts of emotions. There may be appreciation forthcoming for your creativity or unique viewpoint that motivates you to learn and share more. You may need to meet a deadline or deal with everyday nuisances that you’ve let slide. While the atmosphere can be a little chaotic, you’re also recognizing the need to better manage your daily affairs and keep on top of things, as well as the value of staying in touch with people and opening up the lines of communication.
Libra
The Full Moon today can help you clarify a financial position or business matter, dear Libra. You may need to put yourself out a little to get what you want or deserve, but the results can be wonderful. It’s a good time for realizations and discoveries that set you on a path towards increased independence, security, and maturity. With the events of today and this week, you want to be on top of things rather than feel at others’ mercy, and while changes will happen regardless, you can certainly prepare yourself well by taking practical steps and setting up some safeguards. This is a time for being bold about taking care of yourself and your needs, but it may be best to save the bigger decisions for a time when you’ve processed your feelings.
Scorpio
The Full Moon today occurs in your sign, dear Scorpio, bringing powerful emotions to the surface. This is the time of year for a culmination of a special project, an important announcement, or the discovery of your true feelings on a matter. A Full Moon points to a release of some sort, and it’s important to let something out, divulge, emote, and express those things you’ve kept to yourself and now need to liberate so that you can grow, blossom, and improve. There can be a revelation about a relationship or your feelings for someone, and if you’ve been ignoring your personal needs in a particular relationship, this is a time for recognizing them, perhaps dramatically! It’s a creative time, but it can also drain you of some energy, so take extra time for yourself or a light schedule, if possible.
Sagittarius
With the Full Moon occurring in the sign just behind yours, dear Sagittarius, this is a time when your psychic radar is working overtime. You can have an epiphany about your true feelings on a matter or instincts about a person or project. A secret may come to light, or you may recognize a feeling that you’ve kept at bay, making the discovery a personal one. If you’ve been spending a lot of time attending to your physical needs and the material world, this is a time of a compelling need for emotional and psychic release or escape so that you can recuperate, rest, and rejuvenate yourself. It’s time to bring back a better balance to your life regarding attention to both physical and emotional health. It can be important to take a light schedule now if this is possible. Even so, you’re in excellent shape on social and work levels today, as people or situations seem to support your goals.
Capricorn
The Full Moon today occurs in your friendship, network, and collaboration sector, dear Capricorn, making it a brilliant time to connect and share with people you enjoy. You can be in high demand, or you can be coming through for a friend. If you’ve been taking a lot of personal time, you may now need to pull yourself out of your projects and spend some time with others. There can also be a personal revelation, a surprising discovery about a romance or friend, or your feelings about someone magnify and become impossible to ignore! Harness the power of any revelation occurring now to set goals and make plans. Also today and helping to ground you is a creative configuration between the Sun, Jupiter, and your ruler, Saturn. You are in an exceptional position to showcase your talents.
Aquarius
The Full Moon today occurs at the top of your solar chart, dear Aquarius, bringing some drama or a turning point related to your career or long-term goals. What you learn now, whether this is new information or the discovery of your true feelings about a matter, you are now free to make plans. For some of you, there can be the need to take the lead or deal with a responsibility or project that requires focus. You may gain some recognition now, particularly for talents, trustworthiness, or past experience. There can be a job opportunity, an award, or a “next step” moment that clarifies your general life direction. The day is also strong for educational and friendship matters.
Pisces
The Full Moon occurring today illuminates your sector of spirit, adventure, and expression, dear Pisces, and this can point to unexpected discoveries and realizations related to travel and learning, as well as beliefs. There can be a strong desire to escape or flee your regular daily life, particularly if you’ve been so focused on your routines that you’ve ignored your needs for life experience, broader learning, and exotic settings or backdrops. Someone’s perspective or news you hear now can stimulate a new way of thinking and a strong desire to live your life differently. While it’s not necessarily the time to jump into something new without first testing the waters a little, it’s certainly a time for listening to your heart and exploring new possibilities.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
The elements are balanced.
BALANCE OF MODES

LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 10th:
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).
