Daily Horoscope for May 09, 2025
Accepting reality is presently likely to threaten a few of our cherished dreams. As the head-in-the-clouds Libra Moon clashes with the earthy Taurus Sun at 6:43 pm EDT, we may think we know how things are supposed to work, but have a hard time putting that vision into practice. Perhaps a different strategy will actually lead to a better outcome! Admitting we didn’t have all the facts doesn’t need to be the end of the world. We should focus on results rather than egos.

Daily Horoscope for May 08, 2025
Our lofty ideals currently have the risk of leading us astray. When the delicate Moon enters cerebral Libra at 3:06 am EDT, we may have clear mental pictures of how events are supposed to play out. Unfortunately, our primal longings are also especially powerful. We could, therefore, find it hard to tell the difference between what’s likely and what we’d like as the Moon goes on to oppose deceptive Neptune and desirous Venus. We shouldn’t bet anything we can’t afford to lose.
