Blessed Beltane! We are at the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The energy is grounded and fertile. The Moon, in Cancer, opposes Pluto at 6:00 AM, stirring up control issues, but also revealing secrets. The Moon clashes with messenger planet Mercury, which is currently retrograde in Aries, at 2:35 PM—don't get too tripped up about the past. The Moon also clashes with Uranus at 4:23 PM, so watch out for an irritable energy. Finally, the Moon enters Leo late tonight, at 12:12 AM, putting people in a warmer mood. All times EST.

Aries

Take time to be in the present moment today, Aries. Your heart is aching with nostalgia, and you're eager as hell to move on with your life, but appreciating today is the best way to help yourself heal from the past and set yourself up for a stronger future.

Taurus

The Moon is in Cancer today, activating the communication sector of your chart; however, expressing yourself won't feel easy. Your psychic abilities are turned on—spend time today listening to what you hear, literally and intuitively.

Gemini

The Moon is in Cancer today, encouraging you to reflect on self-worth, and, on a mundane level, on things like your budget. You're very aware of other people's goods and money this morning. News will arrive when the Moon enters roaring Fire sign Leo tonight.

Cancer

The Moon is in your sign today, Cancer! The focus is on you—but also on your relationships. Tension between you and your partners becomes apparent this morning. Your focus shifts to self-worth and value tonight.

Leo

Take it slow today: The Moon is in sensitive and emotional Water sign Cancer. Your psychic abilities are boosted, but, because of that, people's vibes will be especially annoying to you. The Moon enters your sign this evening!

Virgo

The Moon is in Cancer, activating the social sector of your chart; however, complicated feelings will come up for you today. Make it an early evening—the Moon enters Leo, lighting up the sleep and solitude sector of your chart.

Libra

Working with others will prove complicated today, Libra. You just want to get work done, but people are being unreliable and, frankly, acting weird. Someone might embarrass you later this afternoon. Don't worry—tonight's not bad for socializing.

Scorpio

The Moon is in fellow Water sign Cancer today, encouraging you to break out of your usual routine. Unfortunately, however, Mercury retrograde and erratic Uranus are making things difficult around scheduling and communication.

Sagittarius

The Moon is in Cancer today, illuminating a very intimate sector of your chart. You're figuring out whether some of your relationships are just for fun, or if they're actually serious. Hopefully, dear Sagittarius, your "serious" relationships are plenty of fun, too!

Capricorn

The Moon is in Cancer today, activating the relationship sector of your chart. The power dynamics in your partnerships are worth reflecting on this morning. Watch out for jealousy.

Aquarius

Your ruling planet, Uranus, is currently in Fire sign Aries, boosting your already genius mind and blessing you with brilliant ideas—but messenger planet Mercury is retrograde, making it hard for you to put your plans into action. Focus on getting organized today.

Pisces

The Moon is in Cancer, putting you in a playful mood—that is, aside from how dark you'll feel early this morning, Pisces! Challenges around money will arrive today, but don't let it bring you down.
