Daily Horoscopes for Monday 04 May 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
On the other side of a Full Moon that may have created some intensity beyond both sides of the financial fence, things are a lot more settled today. While the Moon and Venus are at odds, this is more likely to make you more outspoken and especially when it comes to knowing what you want and being able to express it. At the same time, with the Moon gone from your financial sector the pressure is not only off the Sun in your income sector, but just as in his first full day Mercury’s smart head for money is making it easier to turn any financial tension this might have created into motivation.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
What a difference a day can make. When the Moon left your relationship sector yesterday, as well as leaving you more emotionally engaged and aware, this brought the Full Moon to a close that may have evoked some strong emotional responses or even pushed some buttons. A day on and the Moon is not only gone, but with it the pressure that it had been putting on both you and your relationships and instead Mercury, the planet of communication is settling into his first full day in Taurus. Mercury is only here for 14 days, so will be getting ready to get right to work getting the communication lines open.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
As the Moon makes its only visit to your relationship sector while Venus, the planet of love is in Gemini, their clash today might push some buttons, but in a way that you can benefit from now and in the long term. The Moon returns to your relationship sector every four weeks and this is always a valuable chance to check in and become more aware, but for the first time this year, while there are planets in Gemini to clash with. Yet while this will temporarily put a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure, just as Venus is working to update what you want from your relationships.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
The Moon might find itself in the wrong place at the right time today, but in a way that is going to help you navigate both the new working week and some pivotal weeks coming up. On the one hand, while the Moon returns to your work sector every four weeks, for the first time this year, it is to find planets on the other side of the sky monitoring how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. A day after Mercury left your career sector and with the Moon connecting with the remaining five planets there including Mars, who is taking you into some of the busier weeks of the year, this is a timely reminder to work smarter.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
Today’s stars might be sending mixed messages, but the timing couldn’t be better. On the one hand, as Mercury settles into his first full day in your career sector, he joins the Sun just as it is coming out from under the pressure of a Full Moon. Within two days the Moon will be in your work sector and in the heart of the working week things will be coming together on the income, work and career fronts. On the other hand, the Moon is working with planets that are powering up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. This makes the Full Moon’s work/life balance reminders all the more important.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
In a case of perfect timing, this is one of those days when a challenge turns into an opportunity. The challenge is that for the first time since Venus’ return to your career sector 10 days ago gave this professional year its second wind, a clash with the Moon is putting your work/life balance to the test. Considering that the professional turnaround is here to stay, this is the right reminder at the right time. Helping to turn this into an opportunity to pay attention is Mercury’s first full day in an adventurous part of your chart.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
A day after the Moon not only left your income sector but brought the Full Moon here to a close and with it the pressure this put on the Sun in your financial sector, things have completely turned around. The Moon is gone and with it the financial tension, but at the same time that this has helped to energise things on the income, work and career fronts, in his first full day in your financial sector, Mercury’s smart head for money is allowing you to see through the emotional fog of war. Meanwhile, the Moon has moved on and is making this a good day on the communication and relationship fronts.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
A day after the Moon not only left Scorpio but brought the Full Moon to a close and with it the pressure that it had put on the Sun in your relationship sector, things have completely turned around. While this is a Full Moon that at some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your relationship sector will always put a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test, at the halfway point in your current solar year, this is also a chance for a personal reset. Meanwhile, the Moon is gone and in his first full day in your relationship sector Mercury, the planet of communication is helping to get the communication lines open.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
As he settles into what will be a short 14 day visit to your work sector, Mercury is helping to turn any tension or challenges over recent days into an opportunity to work smarter. Mercury returned just as the Moon was leaving a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, bringing to a close a Full Moon that by clashing with the Sun in your work sector, put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test. The Moon is gone and Mercury, a smart, practical and intellectual planet is here. Meanwhile, the Moon is still preaching a need for balance, but today the focus is more on a balance between your own and your relationship needs.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Today’s stars might be sending some mixed messages, but the timing couldn’t be better. On the one hand, for the first time this year, the Moon has returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to find planets on the other side of the sky in your work sector. Ten days after things took a seriously good turn for the better on the income and job fronts, the Moon’s clash with Venus is putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test. On the other hand, in his first full day in a playful and creative part of your chart, Mercury is giving you the means and the motivation to make a balance between work and play a priority.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
A day after the Moon left your career sector, any challenges this might have created will be fading while the opportunities will be rising to the surface. While there are no planets here and it can take weeks for what was triggered by a Full Moon to fully play out, this has not only energised things across the income, work and career fronts, but with planets that can keep the momentum going. At the same time, while a clash with the Sun may have put your work/life balance to the test, as you move into the most pivotal months of the year on the job front and potentially the busiest, this has been the right reminder at the right time.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
Because Mercury will turn retrograde three times a year and has to slow down in order to turn retrograde and then again when he is ready to turn direct, despite being the closest planet to the Sun, he isn’t always the fastest. That is not the case now, for while a retrograde phase recently kept Mercury in Pisces for over two months, the planet of communication is settling into the first full day of what will be a short 14 day transit through your communication sector. This is Mercury’s top speed and as well as quickly working to get the communication lines open, this is going to make you mentally sharper and better able to think on your feet.
