Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
While you can feel quite encouraged on social levels and with personal interests and projects today, dear Aries, the need to slow down and possibly deal with some blocks is likely as the day advances, whether these come from lousy timing or poor planning. While it’s too easy to focus on what’s not working in your life at the moment, better use of your energy would be to work on straightening out problems and details. You could be especially interested in developing your pet interests and projects, and these can enjoy advances, but outside duties tend to call, too. It’s not an ideal day for getting support or gaining cooperation from others, and it’s important to watch for what you communicate in professional arenas. Look for opportunities to make necessary edits and adjustments. Tomorrow’s Full Moon heightens emotions and could bring a publishing or legal matter up for your review.
Taurus
Today’s energies are complicated for your practical affairs, dear Taurus, although you’re likely to see gains overall. It may be a good idea to go over documents and communications carefully before finalizing them. It’s not a day for new beginnings, but rather one for making adjustments and essential edits that you might overlook on faster-paced days. It may be that you’re not ready to get to a bottom line and decisions need to wait as a result, or there is a delay with an endeavor. Minor financial or legal complications are possible right now, but a step by step approach and a focus on essentials and priorities will right your course now. Expect emotions to climb as the day advances and we get closer to a Full Moon, exact tomorrow morning.
Gemini
This is a time for checking in with yourself that you’re not overdoing things, dear Gemini, as the Sun in your sign forms a quincunx with Saturn. Others don’t readily let you have your way today, which can be frustrating, but possibly a blessing in disguise. Slowing down can work to your benefit now, in other words! There can be a responsibility to fill that comes out of left field, or a feeling that you’ve neglected a duty. Or, there may be a concern that someone is disapproving or keeping something from you. The need to make adjustments to your plans can be annoying but vital to future success. Make edits, refinements, or merely wait things out until a time when you’re feeling surer of yourself. You’re in excellent shape for personal projects and interests or studies today, however.
Cancer
You might feel a strong desire to be on your own or to take some extra downtime now, dear Cancer, but others may be calling you out on promises or pushing you to be involved. With the Sun in your privacy sector, this is a time of year for identifying the deadwood in your life and letting go of bad habits and attitudes. It can also be a time for wrapping up projects. However, you also need more personal space to do all of this, which may be difficult to carve out just for now. Or, the Sun’s challenging aspect with Saturn can point to a past relationship issue that crops up and interferes with current enjoyment. Even so, this is a fine time for meeting with the right people or getting the right information to move a money matter forward.
Leo
With the Sun in your solar eleventh house, you want to do your own thing these days, dear Leo, and branch out, socialize, or seek more freedom. However, responsibilities and duties can loom large in your mind today as the Sun and Saturn form a quincunx, interfering with plans and dreams. Problems encountered now are merely reality checks, slowing you down just enough to make necessary refinements. Some social awkwardness or off timing is possible now, so it may be better to avoid scheduling interviews, events, or even serious conversations that mean a lot to you for now. Sticking to a routine may seem dull, but is your best bet as you center yourself for more spontaneous and exciting times to come. Nevertheless, on a personal level, you can be quite pleased with your progress and may be in the mood to challenge yourself.
Virgo
Your initial instinct might need some refining before taking action today, dear Virgo, with a Sun-Saturn quincunx that complicates energy. In fact, we may be second-guessing ourselves today, and there can be some dilemmas or difficult decisions. The Sun is currently transiting your solar tenth house, turning your keen attention to career, life path goals, and significant structures in your life. Saturn’s presence in your creative sector can mean you’re busy working on creative projects or you may be taking relationships more seriously. Creatively speaking, you may not be as spontaneous as you typically are. It may be better not to mix personal and professional matters today as there can be difficulty determining how to blend them successfully. There can be some hesitation about throwing yourself into new enterprises. Watch for working too hard or taking on more responsibilities than you can handle today. While obligations can feel burdensome, you also have opportunities to grow through your experiences.
Libra
Recent days have found you feeling freer and more confident with the Sun transiting your adventure sector, dear Libra, but today you could be feeling hesitant or uncertain as the Sun forms an awkward angle to Saturn. Alternatively, family responsibilities may seem to block your plans. You are letting more spontaneity into your life, and this is good for you in a general sense now, but Saturn has a way of reminding you of your limits and duties. This is, in fact, necessary. In the meantime, though, you could be see-sawing between positive thinking and worry. While you can be feeling quite weighed down by a reality check of sorts, this type of checkpoint is useful for slowing down long enough to see where you may be making errors which paves the way for going forward freer and more confident.
Scorpio
Again today, you’re in a better position for making refinements to your plans than pushing forward, dear Scorpio. The deeper side of relating and viewing your life draws you right in these days, but you’re also, very often, so engrossed in your daily affairs and personal interests that you don’t always have the time to explore these things. As well, there can be mixed signals given off as you seem impartial one minute and personal the next. Conversations may not be especially satisfying just for now, as they can be a little too analytical or critical. Do your best to observe rather than jump into new endeavors and meaningful conversations. Also, if you catch yourself criticizing when you could be doing something more constructive, try to tame the urge. Your ability to see the flaws is enhanced now, and this can be put to good use. A Full Moon tomorrow morning brings emotions to a head.
Sagittarius
With the Sun in your partnership sector these days, your life may be picking up the pace socially or regarding a relationship, dear Sagittarius. Try not to read too much into today’s apparent slowdown, since with the Sun and Saturn forming an awkward angle, you may be seeing flaws more than strengths. You could be second-guessing a partner, a plan, or yourself! Try to use this temporary block as a chance to catch your breath, as well as to come to a more realistic assessment of a relationship or project. Keep in mind that with this aspect, you might first entertain an overly negative point of view before getting to the middle ground. Don’t let insecurity prevent you from opportunity, but do wait for a better day to pursue your desires actively. While the day is complicated and timing can be off, it’s a good time for taking a break from the action to rethink a few things. It’s also a fine time for taking care of details or some of the duller aspects of daily life. The Sun and the North Node harmonize today, too, and this can point to beneficial meetings.
Capricorn
You could be second-guessing yourself or your ability to handle your work or daily affairs effectively just for now, dear Capricorn, with the Sun and Saturn in an awkward angle. Motivation or energy levels may seem to wane, and timing may be off, in general. While this is not an ideal day to elect for a new endeavor, meaningful conversation, or interview, it’s a good time for getting assorted things done. You see the flaws more than usual, and this helps you to know what needs fixing before you move forward. For best results today with misunderstandings extra likely, be a little more diplomatic with people you work for, who work for you, and who you work with! You might also want to take this time to fill some personal needs rather than pour all your energy into doing things for others. The Moon moves into your privacy sector later today, making it quite natural for some form of withdrawal or emotional renewal.
Aquarius
There is more playful and expressive energy with you recently with the Sun in your creative solar fifth house, dear Aquarius, but there are natural breaks to this flow, and today may be one of those times. Insecurity or responsibility might hold you back from expressing yourself openly and naturally. There can be some hesitation or second-guessing with the Sun forming an awkward angle to Saturn. Try not to let this discourage you, but do let it slow you down to catch mistakes before moving forward. There can be some matters to handle from the past that need your attention, or feelings of guilt and unrest to manage. You can expect the emotional temperature of the day to rise as it advances as we approach a Full Moon that’s exact tomorrow.
Pisces
Again today with Saturn misbehaving, there can be more responsibility or a reality check of sorts to manage, dear Pisces. Current blocks, while temporary, do point you in the right direction as you begin to see the adjustments and edits you need to make. You may decide to keep a lower profile and sort out your duties rather than pushing for something new now. With the Sun in your home and family sector, you tend to want to stick close to home whether this is figurative or literal. However, outside obligations are likely to call. You might be dealing with a conflict or dilemma related to competing desires to be nurtured and stick with familiar people and situations and to reach out and connect with others. Social and domestic goals can seem equally important now, and you may not know which to choose. Do your best to be flexible and to avoid letting misunderstandings undermine you. Advances are likely in work and health arenas now.

WATER STRONG
Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
Today’s Modal Balance
FIXED STRONG
The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.
Today’s Lunar Phase
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 28th:
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).
