Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You have lovely energy with you for mental pursuits, studies, and design, dear Aries. Even so, a Venus-Neptune aspect today can point to blurred or distorted perceptions of value. Transportation or communications may be unreliable for now. You might become infatuated with ideas, objects, or people but you are unlikely to be seeing these things clearly. This is because wishful thinking is very much of play and can cloud the truth of a situation. While it’s certainly pleasant in the present, disappointment can follow. You’d do better for yourself seeing and appreciating what’s true and real.
Taurus
Your ideas are powerful today, dear Taurus, but a Venus-Neptune aspect warns to take your time before drawing conclusions. This is because wishful thinking tends to cloud what we see today. Since Venus is your ruler, you can be in a bit of a state of flux and others might find you a little evasive. Regardless, if you are not feeling equipped to make decisions and commitments, then put them off until you’re more confident. It would also be a good idea to doublecheck fine print. Friends and money don’t mix well today, so you might want to avoid lending and spending. Do what you can to avoid misunderstandings or loss of valuables.
Gemini
With Venus in your sign, you are more personable than usual these days, dear Gemini. However, Venus forms a square to Neptune today, and it’s far too easy to misread a situation or see things through the lens of wishful thinking. This can place you in a somewhat sticky or vulnerable position on an emotional level. Confusion about your general direction, career, or a situation with a superior can play with your mind and confuse your personal choices temporarily. Take steps to avoid paying too much for something or making promises that you are unlikely to fulfill. Even so, today is highly suitable for making connections with friends and for mental or personal interests. You may share a similar idea or feel a good sense of camaraderie with a friend.
Cancer
You can be feeling more sensitive than usual on a social or affectionate level today, dear Cancer, although this can lead you to a greater awareness of your vulnerabilities. Try not to let sentiments and whims blur your judgment today. Venus is currently transiting your privacy sector and forms a challenging square to Neptune, and you could be feeling misunderstood. It’s important to keep in mind that letting go of unhealthy illusions can put you in a more empowering position overall. It’s hard to convince yourself of something that you know in your heart is untrue or unreal, and it’s best to find things to believe in that are real and currently part of your life. Mercury and Pallas connect harmoniously today, helping you see lovely patterns in your work or to put together fabulous plans and strategies.
Leo
While there is some great energy with you today for connecting with friends, networking, and learning, dear Leo, a Venus-Neptune square suggests it’s best not to commit. Where you stand with someone can be a point of confusion, or friends and lovers may be crossing a line, leaving you wondering today. If financial or support issues are up in the air, you can feel the uncertainty now more than usual, and this can impact your current enjoyment. Expectations of others may be set too high or too low with this transit! This suggests that you may be better off aiming to enjoy yourself rather than pinning your hopes on something particular. Retreats, getaways, and any form of formal or informal sabbatical are appropriate now if they’re possible.
Virgo
With a Venus-Neptune square occurring today, dear Virgo, if you haven’t been viewing someone, a relationship, or a situation clearly, you’re likely to feel a little let down now. Expectations of others can be set either too high or too low with Neptune transiting your opposite sign in recent years, and today, these can interfere with personal enjoyment. Although looking the other way can soothe you temporarily, you can’t honestly fool yourself over time. Aim to work on putting illusions about people behind you as much as possible since it’s better to love a person for who they are and not what you dream them to be. Avoid letting confusion in your personal life affect your professional dealings today. There is a small tendency to allow social distractions to interfere with your ambitions right now, but it will not serve you well. A Mercury-Pallas aspect today, however, suggests an excellent ability to map out a strategy or resolve a problem related to your work, and this can be satisfying.
Libra
A Venus-Neptune square can point to some ambiguity that interferes with your personal enjoyment today, dear Libra. Uncertainty surrounding your work or schedules or a commitment to take care of someone may be part of this. You are more compassionate but also somewhat vulnerable now if you’re highly emotionally invested in believing what you want to believe. Be sure to take care of yourself while you take care of everyone else and avoid over-committing out of guilt. It is not easy to focus on practical matters today, as your thinking is more fanciful and creative than mechanical just for now. Try not to schedule overly taxing or demanding activities if this is possible. However, you are in excellent shape for innovative design or conversations with a particular person who helps you envision a project or goal.
Scorpio
You can be in great shape in your dealings with practical matters today, dear Scorpio, and anything in which you’re not emotionally invested. However, you’re not in the best of positions to judge things in your personal life right now. You may not see a person or relationship clearly. As well, it can be difficult getting a firm commitment or definite answers to your questions from others. Try not to make permanent decisions right now since waiting things out makes better sense with wishful thinking influencing your vision today. You are in an excellent position to research a method or matter, design a solution to a problem, or otherwise get on top of things mentally, however.
Sagittarius
Wishful thinking or other emotional factors can affect your perception of a person or relationship today, dear Sagittarius, with Venus forming a square to Neptune. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is especially important to you these days with Venus transiting your solar seventh house, but with today’s challenging aspect, you could be missing the mark, either by giving too much or too little! You may not be seeing people, yourself, or a relationship objectively. There can be an intense yearning for something more from your connections. However, channeling your energies into a creative pursuit and the determination to be in charge of your own happiness can take you places now. This way, you avoid putting pressure on a relationship to be something it’s not. A Mercury-Pallas aspect also active today is excellent for creative solutions and inspiring conversations.
Capricorn
Expectations of others may be a little off the mark today, dear Capricorn, as a Venus-Neptune square can leave some things up in the air. Uncertainty where you were expecting warmth can disappoint you today. Don’t undersell yourself, but avoid pinning all of your hopes in something when what’s in front of you is something you can appreciate just fine. Take time coming to conclusions. In fact, time can be one of the best tools for testing a theory or perception, as with time, reason tends to set in. Consider that you are more emotionally vulnerable today, and your perceptions may be driven by wishful thinking more than fact, and make choices accordingly. A Mercury-Pallas transit helps you see solutions in your work and home life.
Aquarius
A Mercury-Pallas aspect today is perfect for design, communications, creative projects, and organization, dear Aquarius. Where you’re more personally involved, however, you may not be as clear with a Venus-Neptune square aspect challenging your perceptions. Venus in your fifth house brings out your more amorous feelings these days, and it also helps to boost your appeal with others. Today, taking a risk or turning a blind eye to a problem can have unfavorable results. Aim to invest your emotions in something you already have rather than pin your hopes on something attainable. This is not to say you shouldn’t dream, because you should, but mirages are likely with the energies of the day. Investing too much of your happiness in something that’s not truly part of your life can be a strong inclination now but can subtract from your enjoyment of the present.
Pisces
You are in good shape for coming up with ideas for doing business, making money, or enjoying home life today, dear Pisces. However, a Venus-Neptune square active today can cloud your perception of things where your heart is very much involved. The temptation may be to take an emotional or perhaps a financial risk, but it may not have a solid basis in reality. Your desire for security, comfort, and peace in your love life and your domestic life is active these days with Venus in your home and family sector, but today, you may feel a little unfulfilled or yearning for more than the usual or ordinary. You’re also particularly sensitive to imbalances in your personal life. Do your best to avoid going to emotional extremes and take the time to get in touch with your real needs.

We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
Today’s Modal Balance
The modes are balanced.
Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on May 7th:
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).
