Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Your mind is exceptionally sharp today, dear Aries, and you can come up with some satisfying conclusions or strategies now. You can make excellent progress on a career or money-making idea. However, a Venus-Saturn opposition coming into influence can serve as a reminder that while home and family life tend to be where your heart is at the moment, you need to take care of business as well. Responsibilities or problems that have been neglected or overlooked in the past have a way of surfacing for your immediate attention. You are more inclined to see the glass half empty, as are people around you, and especially authority figures, teachers, parents, or bosses. Stick with your priorities and avoid worrying too much about what others think. Even so, sometimes criticisms can lead to meaningful improvements, so try not to shut them out altogether. If people are criticizing more than supporting, aim to make yourself happy first and foremost. Stick with your plans and priorities but be honest with yourself about what may need revision.
Taurus
A strengthening aspect between Mercury in your sign and perceptive Pluto today can help bring out a resolution to a problem or assist in improving a relationship bond, dear Taurus. While there can be increased understanding, as the day advances, we head towards a Venus-Saturn opposition, and there may be some tension revolving around a project or plans that encounter delays or setbacks. Alternatively, frustrations now may have to do with news, delays, or criticism, as the Venus-Saturn challenge lies across your communications and transportation axis. You might need to revisit and change the structure of a project, and this can be time-consuming. With difficult Saturn in play, a useful strategy is to consider the details of your pursuits carefully, do your homework, and get the job done, all the while avoiding what people are doing and thinking, or not doing and not thinking! It’s no small feat, but prioritizing is best as you get over a hump. It’s also important to note that others are a little more sensitive to limits now.
Gemini
There is strong energy for getting a handle on things today, dear Gemini. You might enjoy a new subject or research a topic more deeply now. You can be persuasive, and attempts to resolve tricky issues through conversation can be quite successful early today. However, as the day advances, Venus opposes Saturn, and there can be a realization or responsibility that temporarily puts a damper on your plans or spirits. This may take the form of a disagreement about money or resources, or you might feel blocked or opposed, possibly by a partner or by limits to your freedom to seek pleasure, make a purchase, or pursue a particular goal. If an epiphany comes now, look at your discovery from a practical angle and with as much detachment as possible. It may be better to know where you stand than to nurse an illusion that will eventually expose itself as unreal.
Cancer
You might come to a better understanding of your ambitions today, dear Cancer. New visions of your future motivate and inspire you today despite minor interruptions. It’s also an excellent time for sorting out problems. You can give great advice today, or you can inspire or be inspired by friends and connections. Even so, later today, Venus opposes Saturn, and you might feel blocked or limited or reminded of responsibilities that get in the way of your personal goals. You could be seeing someone in your life as unnecessarily strict or unyielding. Recognize your own need for structure and rules in your relationships, and meet others halfway for best results now. If duty and pleasure seem to be pitted against one another, you may need to strike a compromise.
Leo
Making plans for finance and business deals, as well as problem-solving, in general, are all favored now, dear Leo. Sensitive topics can be handled with more ease than usual. You might gain an advantage over a competitor in business, or gain new insight into your goals. Later today, however, a Venus-Saturn opposition comes into play and can remind you of the need to attend to duties and responsibilities. There can be an epiphany or realization that temporarily deflates or demotivates you. Your desire to escape pressure and stress or to hide away is strong, but today, you may need to handle practical matters that can be time-consuming. Criticism is possible today and tomorrow, which is probably over the top, but if it’s even a fraction true, then it can lead to meaningful improvements. Priorities make themselves clear today.
Virgo
In the first half of the day, there is favorable energy for all things mental and creative, dear Virgo. Positive educational, work, or travel news may be forthcoming. Your voice is stronger than usual, and others may recognize you as an authority on a subject. As the day advances, though, we move towards a Venus-Saturn opposition, and you may find it challenging to juggle your responsibilities and desires. There can be conflicting feelings related to your social or love life. Try not to focus too much on whether someone is letting you down, and instead give your responsibilities and duties your “all” so that you can later pursue your pleasures with less guilt or distraction. For some, a project suddenly seems more demanding than it once did, but if it’s worth your time, then you’ll put in the extra effort.
Libra
In the first half of today, dear Libra, you’re likely to feel quite motivated to do things that you’ve put to the side or let slide. You might gain an advantage or feel more empowered about a home or financial situation, and for some, an intimate relationship. It’s a good time for striking up a conversation about a private or personal matter and for sorting things out. As the day advances, a Venus-Saturn influence comes into play, and you become aware of duties or delays that prevent you from pursuing your plans or professional pursuits. You may be enjoying your work more than usual these days with Venus at the top of your chart, but home life or personal matters may need extra attention now. In some cases, there can be a disappointment or reality check to deal with. Responsibilities need your attention now, and you’ll feel better once you do take care of your priorities, after which you can come back to your pleasures and seek them more heartily.
Scorpio
You’re in a favorable position for matters of the mind in the first half of the day, dear Scorpio. Increased clarity can come from a significant person in your life or about a partnership. Willingness to let someone else take the stage opens up new levels in personal relationships right now, which have a chance to grow. Great ideas tend to come as the result of your interactions with a partner or trusted friend. Negotiations can be very successful and beneficial, but as the day advances, you can reach loggerheads with others. A Venus-Saturn opposition across your communications sector can point to a disagreement, a seemingly unfavorable outcome, or a delay. Responsibilities to your daily affairs, errands, and other duties and tasks can suddenly increase or make themselves known, throwing a wrench in your plans. There can be the realization of a commitment that requires attention. There could be a critical review or slightly discouraging news now, but keep in mind that as irritating as these may be, they might also motivate you to make improvements, if only so that you can avoid having to deal with others’ negativity! You may need to put in extra work to get your duties out of the way, but you’ll be in a much better place once you do.
Sagittarius
The urge to sort out little problems, iron out flaws, and eliminate waste or excess is strong today, dear Sagittarius, and you can benefit from using this boost to clear up the clutter. Good energy is with you for solving problems or rising above them. While your head for finances and practical affairs is powerful today, as the day advances, a Venus-Saturn influence in your values sector suggests some grappling with reality or disappointment. An obligation, debt, or error may need your attention and can be frustrating, but fixing it can do much for future successes. Do not sell yourself short today, but consider that something may need some improvement. Face a reality that surfaces, make adjustments, and pick yourself back up.
Capricorn
The first half of the day holds pleasing energy, dear Capricorn, particularly for friendships and dating, personal attraction, communications, and social matters. You may be cultivating and enhancing connections through conversation. You can also be quite enthused about a hobby or creative pursuit now, and you might find ways to express yourself in outstanding ways. You’re ready to make quick and sharp decisions, particularly concerning love relationships, entertainment, and children, and you can feel quite energized on a mental level. Even so, as the day advances, we head towards a Venus-Saturn opposition that is especially personal for you since Saturn is in your sign and is also your planetary ruler. Venus in your partnership sector these days can stimulate a stronger need for companionship, approval, or support from others in your life, but these drives seem to clash with your recent tendency to go it alone or to handle problem areas your own way. Or, you may find a partner appears childish or carefree as you take on far too many burdens. Avoid criticizing or withholding. Attempting to restrict others is not the way to go, but getting the space you need to attend to your responsibilities may be necessary.
Aquarius
This can be a time for gaining a new understanding of a personal matter that helps push things forward, dear Aquarius, as Mercury and Pluto form a harmonious aspect. Your home life may be especially busy or lively, and there can be solutions to problems on the domestic front, as the day advances, a Venus-Saturn aspect suggests a reality check. If your heart isn’t in what you’re doing, you can feel tired or sick. Mental and physical health are linked, but especially so right now, and quite possibly in a disruptive way. Delays or seeming setbacks can occur that pull you away from the things you enjoy most doing. Past mistakes or unfinished business can surface now, and the effort needed to correct or complete these things can be significant, or at least seem that way. It may be necessary to deal with your responsibilities, and in fact, they can seem inescapable right now but don’t overburden yourself, either.
Pisces
You can feel motivated to let go of old habits today, dear Pisces, particularly related to learning, communicating, and friendships with Mercury’s trine to Pluto. News can come that steers you in a new direction, or that leaves you feeling you have an advantage. Good energy is with you for communicating your ideas and feelings, and personal influence and powers of persuasion are exceptionally strong. However, as the day advances, we head into a Venus-Saturn opposition that tends to pit pleasure against responsibility. As excited as you may be about a creative or romantic pursuit, duties or delays can enter the picture now, and these can be time-consuming. You may only need to get practical matters out of the way before you can get back into the game. If there are criticisms to deal with, these can be frustrating, but they might also lead to efforts to firm things up, which are ultimately beneficial.

Today’s Modal Balance

Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 25th:
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).
