Daily Horoscopes for Saturday 16 May 2026

Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
As you reach a crossroads in the year itself, there is a chance to pause while using today’s New Moon as a chance to draw a new line in the sand. Knowing that by this time next week the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, all of the faster planets, will be in different positions than they are now, gives you a chance to stay in the moment in anchored in where they are now. Moving into Mars’ last full week in Aries means focused on where to channel his warrior and competitive spirit, for Venus on getting the communication lines open and the Moon, Sun and Mercury on using a New Moon to give income potential as much traction as possible.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Having the Moon in Taurus as Mercury reaches the last full day of his short 14 day visit and as you move into the last weekend of your birthday month, is doing more than just keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. A New Moon, with your birthday month ending next week and while you still have Mercury’s smart and practical influence to draw on, is a chance to draw a new line in the sand and to use this as a new starting point. At the same time, while your birthday month is drawing to a close, with Mars three days away from returning to Taurus for the first time in two years, you haven’t even begun to explore all your options.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
The Moon is not only in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart as Mercury has reached his last full day here and as the Sun moves into his last weekend, but as a New Moon, this is the hurry up that you get at some point during the month long wind down of your old solar year. A New Moon is all about new beginnings and looking to the future, while the Sun is still focused on closing old doors. However, with the Moon and Mercury returning to Gemini tomorrow, Venus already there and the Sun returning next week to begin your birthday month and new solar year, the future is calling.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your career sector yesterday, you are not only moving into Mars’ final three days here with your professional instincts sharp, but aware of what you are fighting for and where to channel your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit. Mars is still separating from an alignment with the dwarf planet Eris that has brought the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos together, when he catches up and aligns with Chiron, the planet of healing, wisdom and knowledge. This is a chance to move forward with confidence, while also learning from the past.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
Today’s stars not only continue to send mixed messages but will continue to right through the weekend and beyond. While the Moon left an adventurous part of your chart yesterday, knowing that when he leaves here next week, he won’t be back for another two years, this has added fuel to Mars’ passion for adventure and his war on old excuses. At the same time, the Moon is not only with the Sun as he moves into his last weekend in your career sector and Mercury his last full day, but as a New Moon this is giving everything the green light.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
That Venus is happy to hold back and wait for when the Moon and Mercury return to your career sector tomorrow, it is not out of generosity of spirit that she is asking that you favour their time in an adventurous part of your chart and the New Moon that is enticing you to embrace the weekend spirit. Three days away from leaving your career sector, Venus knows that when the Moon and Mercury return tomorrow and the Sun next week, it will be time to get down to business, with your head in the game and focused on the more practical details. Until then, Venus is making the most of one last day when it is more about listening to your heart.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector yesterday, there is a chance to move into Mars’ final days emotionally engaged and aware. Mars is separating from an alignment with the dwarf planet Eris that as the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos came together, has given you the motivation to fight for what you want. Today begins another, this time with Chiron, the planet of healing and with a chance to lay some old ghosts to rest. Meanwhile, it is during Mercury’s last full day in your financial sector and while you have his smart head for money to draw on, that a New Moon is giving money matters the green light.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
The Moon is not only in your relationship sector during Mercury, the planet of communication’s last full day and just as the Sun has reached his last weekend, but as a New Moon this is making this a day for drawing a new line in the sand. With the Moon and Mercury leaving tomorrow and the Sun next week, the focus should be getting ready to shift off your relationships, but instead, Mars’ return next week will keep the momentum going. Until then, after the Moon left yesterday, as Mars moves into his final three weeks in your busy work sector, it is with a better sense of where to channel your time and energy.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
It is less that today’s stars are sending mixed messages and more that you have simply reached a pivotal point in the week if not the year on both sides of life’s fence at the same time. Spurred on by the playful and creative lunar vibes of the last few days and his alignment with the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos, as Mars moves into his final three days in a playful and creative part of your chart, he is fighting to make them count. At the same time, in Mercury’s last full day in your work sector and as the Sun has reached his last weekend, a New Moon is giving work and job matters the green light.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Just in time for the weekend, the Moon is not only in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, but in time to capture Mercury’s financial dreams and the Sun’s last weekend here. Even if this were an ordinary monthly visit, today’s playful and creative lunar vibes would be a case of perfect timing and especially with things starting to take a busier turn from tomorrow. Instead, as a New Moon, this is something that will not only be easier to embrace but to hold onto. However, the reality is that with Mars just three days away, there is no danger of life becoming all work and no play.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
As he moves into his final three days in your communication sector, Mars is separating from an alignment with the dwarf planet Eris that has brought the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos together. This is making it easier to get the most out of the final days of Mars’ war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, but it is an alignment with Chiron, the planet of healing here today that can focus on the latter. Meanwhile, today’s New Moon is making this a good day for home, family and/or property matters and especially for initiating anything new.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
Just having the Moon in your communication sector during Mercury, the planet of communication’s last full day and as the Sun moves into his last weekend here is an advantage. With the Moon returning every 28 days but Mercury only spending 14 days here this year, there was only ever a 50 percent chance that they would be here at the same time. Instead, their only alignment here this year comes just as a New Moon is making this a good day for new beginnings and for moving the communication lines forward. With both leaving tomorrow, this is a day for making all aspects of communication a priority.
