Daily Horoscopes for Sunday 17 May 2026

	Aries	Mar 21 - Apr 19
Weekend or not, this is a busy day in the heavens, but fortunately, none of it needs you to keep your work hat on and instead, and more that things are getting into position for a six day period where the Sun and all the faster planets will be on the move. It starts today with Mercury, who after just 14 days in your income sector and just as the New Moon here runs its course, leaves and joins Venus in her last weekend in your communication sector. At the same time, in his last weekend in Aries, Mars is looking for something that excites you, that you can channel his passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit into.

	Taurus	Apr 20 - May 20
Just as you have reached the Sun’s last weekend in Taurus, but with your birthday month still having another five days to run, the Moon is spending its final hours before leaving and wrapping up the New Moon here, aligned with Mercury. With Mercury leaving a few hours later, as the New Moon that is giving this new solar year the green light runs its course and with a tail wind at your back, you’re able to draw a new line in the sand knowing you have a mix of intuition and logic, imagination and intelligence to draw on. This will see the Moon and Mercury return to your income sector in order to get the most out of Venus, the planet of money’s final days.

	Gemini	May 21 - Jun 21
No sooner does the New Moon that has signalled that it is time to start wrapping up this current solar year and prepare for the Sun’s return to Gemini in five days to begin your birthday month and new solar year run its course, than the Moon and Mercury both return today. While your old solar year has another five days to run, as the Moon and Mercury join Venus, just as she has reached her last weekend in Gemini, where she is already looking to the future, this is a chance to put heart, mind and gut on the same page. The Moon and Venus will both leave in two days, beginning a transition from Venus’ heart to Mercury’s head ruled approach.

	Cancer	Jun 22 - Jul 22
While the Sun is still five days away from returning to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, Venus is not only already here but is joined by the Moon and Mercury today. This both adds to and changes the dynamics of a sense of nostalgia and focus on the past. Mercury will be here when the Sun returns, offering his smart and practical approach to processing the past. The Moon and Venus will not only be gone by then, but until they both leave in two days, before Mercury takes over, this will add to the nostalgic trip down memory lane that the planet that rules the heart is taking you on.

	Leo	Jul 23 - Aug 22
Before not only leaving your career sector today but wrapping up the New Moon that has given professional matters the green light, the Moon is spending its final hours aligned with Mercury, who will leave just a few hours later. With the Sun here for another five days and Mars returning in two days to spend six weeks firing things up, this leaves you with your professional instincts sharp, with a tailwind at your back and everything needed to keep your head in the game. In the meantime, in his last weekend in an adventurous part of your chart, Mars is more focused on fuelling a passion for adventure.

	Virgo	Aug 23 - Sep 22
At the same time that the Moon’s departure from an adventurous part of your chart brings the New Moon here to an end, it and Mercury’s return to your career sector is a chance to get the new working week off to a positive start before it begins. Fortunately, with the Sun and the dwarf planet Ceres staying on in an adventurous part of your chart and Mars returning in two days, this won’t see a sudden shift to the professional and busy side of life’s fence. At the same time, this will see the Moon and Mercury return in time to move into Venus’ final two days in your career sector with your professional instincts sharp, head in the game, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground.

	Libra	Sep 23 - Oct 23
Just in time to catch the tail end of the weekend, the Moon and Mercury not only both return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery today, but in time to get the most out of Venus’ final two days here. With things not only set to power up on the career front next week, but continue right through the middle months of the year, before they both leave an adventurous part of your chart in two days, these adventurous lunar vibes will both help to capture Venus’ desire for adventure and the early days of Mercury’s focus more on turning your bucket list into a game plan.

	Scorpio	Oct 24 - Nov 21
Before leaving and wrapping up the New Moon, the Moon is spending its final hours in your relationship sector aligned with Mercury, just as the planet of communication is getting ready to leave as well. While the Sun will keep the solar spotlight on your relationships for another five days, this leaves you emotionally engaged and aware and with the communication lines open ahead of Mars’ return in two days to take it from here. Meanwhile, just as Venus has reached her last weekend in your financial sector, the Moon returns in time to ensure your financial instincts are sharp and Mercury, with the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game.

	Sagittarius	Nov 22 - Dec 21
Weekend or not, spending its final hours in your work sector aligned with Mercury, just as the New Moon draws a close, brings you to a turning point on the job front, while helping you to line up for what comes next. Before leaving to join Venus, just as she has reached her last weekend in your relationship sector, this leaves you with an intuitive read on work and job matters, your head in the game and a tailwind at your back, as you prepare for Mars’ return in two days. This is when, on the job front and/or whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, the warrior planet of the cosmos will return to begin what could be the busiest six weeks of the year.

	Capricorn	Dec 22 - Jan 19
While within the space of just a few hours, first and the Moon and then Mercury will not only leave a playful and creative part of your chart but return to your busy work sector, this won’t see the scales shift from one side of life’s fence to the other. Instead, this is going to create a more even balance, with the Sun staying on for another five days and in two days, Mars joining him to spend the next six weeks in a playful and creative part of your chart. Meanwhile, this will see the Moon and Mercury return to your work sector in time to guide you into Venus’ final two days with heart, mind and gut on the same page.

	Aquarius	Jan 20 - Feb 18
Two days before Venus is not only due to make an early return to your work sector, but before this will bring the element of luck and the laws of attraction together, just as Jupiter moves into the final six weeks of his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion, the Moon and Mercury join her in a playful and creative part of your chart. Over the weekend and before things take a busier turn, this is not only a chance to get the most out of Venus’ final days, but while she and the Moon will leave in two days, Mercury will stay on and with the Sun five days away, take a smart and practical approach to keeping things balanced.

	Pisces	Feb 19 - Mar 20
Before not only leaving your communication sector today but bringing the New Moon to a close and with it the boost this has given the communication lines, the Moon is spending its final hours aligned with Mercury, hours before the planet of communication is due to leave as well. Mercury will only spend 14 days in your communication sector this year, with the New Moon helping to get the most out of his final hours, while also taking away some of the urgency. With the Sun here for another five days and Mars just two days away from returning to begin his first war on communication roadblocks and barriers in two years, what the Moon and Mercury can start, they will continue.
