Pushing a little too far can show us where we’re not yet ready for change. As the passionate Leo Moon squares the stubborn Taurus Sun, the status quo might be more deeply rooted than we’d thought. That being said, powerful Pluto then turns retrograde at 11:27 am EDT, encouraging us to review how much we’ve already grown over the past several months. Luna goes on to hang out with clever Mercury, guiding us through making manageable improvements we can take pride in.

Daily Horoscope for May 03, 2025
Tension could burst into the open without warning. As the emotional Moon powers into dramatic Leo at 7:29 am EDT, we’ll probably want to tell others how we feel. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing if our audience is open to it. Unfortunately, we may encounter resistance when Luna opposes entrenched Pluto.

When the nurturing Cancer Moon squares detail-oriented Mercury, frustration over facts and figures might thwart any effort to discuss deeper concerns. As pleasure planet Venus conjoins escapist Neptune at 1:07 pm EDT, we’ll potentially prioritize feeling good over stirring emotional pots. Our wounds will still be there while Luna goes on to agitate touchy Chiron, but taking a break from analyzing them may give us the perspective we need.
