Your daily horoscopes for Monday May 6, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Merely articulating how you feel won’t cut it with a special person today, Aries: You have to show them. Under the feel-good merger of Mercury and curative Chiron in your sign, don’t wait to be coaxed into conversation. Be more demonstrative; catch people off-guard (and make their day) with a sincere act of admiration. Even with friends you’re encouraged to be more forthright with your feelings. Never underestimate the power of sending an appreciative text.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Don’t be afraid to take off the pink-hued aviators, Bull. You can choose to look for the good in people while also accepting their flaws. Today’s skies feature a healing duet between curious Mercury and soothsayer Chiron, in your deep-feeling twelfth house. While you don’t want to let your imagination get the best of you and overlook red flags, think in terms of setting boundaries instead of erecting barriers.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Let’s hear it for team spirit! Today’s balancing alignment of your ruler, logical Mercury, and harmony-seeking Chiron in your collaborative eleventh house can bring an end to discord. If you’ve been at cross-purposes with someone at work or in a social group, take the high road and figure out how to resolve things. Note: This isn’t the same as forgetting. In fact, if a bad behavior keeps repeating itself, that might be your cue to go seek your soul squad somewhere else.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
You’re keenly aware that strong professional bonds are your secret to success. And today, as clever Mercury merges with curative Chiron in your career corner, you can develop or deepen an important connection. Don’t shy away from someone just because they’re higher on the so-called ladder than you. Everyone starts somewhere, and you might as well as aim for the top rung. Reach out to the influencers in your field. One might have an opportunity with “Cancer” written all over it!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Comfort zone, what’s that? Today, as mindful Mercury and “wounded healer” Chiron merge in trailblazing Aries and your intrepid ninth house, you might be ready to address an area of life that you have found intimidating to think about. The ninth house is associated with travel, education and entrepreneurship. Could you take a skills-enhancing workshop—or maybe teach one? Forget about VIP rooms and velvet ropes: You’ll be happiest hanging with a wise and diverse crew.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Love or lust? Honestly, Virgo, for once it may not matter to you in the least. With your ruler, mindful Mercury, aligned with soothsayer Chiron in your intimate eighth house, you’re as focused on “soul” as you are on “body.” Whether you follow up on a searing attraction or share brewing thoughts with bae, you’d do well to get a little more vulnerable. In other words, forget about giving advice and opinions. Instead, tell them how you FEEL.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Lean in to the friendship aspect of a relationship to get things back in a flowy groove today, Libra. With strategic Mercury aligned with compassionate Chiron in your dynamic-duos realm, coming on too strong won’t yield the results you desire. Of course you have a beautiful vision of how things should be, but remember that not everyone shares your tastes and preferences. Allow anyone you’re with to express their opinion without judgment. Single? The day holds promise for meeting someone with potential.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Today, as systematic Mercury nuzzles up to healer-feeler Chiron in your work and service sector, you can infuse your daily routines with more gusto and creativity simply by bringing awareness to them. Sure, some of those tasks may be as exciting as watching paint dry, but there are plenty of things you can do to keep the workday stimulating. Take hourly breaks—for a brisk walk around the block or mini meditation—and make a point of talking to people in person instead mindlessly messaging them.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
No reason to deny your feelings, Sag. As articulate Mercury mashes up with healer Chiron in your impassioned fifth house, you’ll be rocking the heart-on-your-sleeve look. Let your love interest know how you feel and stay open to their equally poignant outpourings. Secretly attracted to someone? This is a perfect day to suggest a coffee date—if you can keep a healthy detachment about the outcome. This cosmic duo also amps up your creativity, so make time to work on a passion project.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Your secret weapon today is your compassion and ability to actively listen when someone comes to you with a problem. As savvy Mercury aligns with “wounded healer” Chiron in your sentimental fourth house, your hard-driving work ethic gives up its seat to your less commonly seen nurturing side. Keep healthy boundaries to protect against energy vampires, but do make yourself readily available to your inner circle. It’s a perfect opportunity to thank someone for THEIR kindness and generosity to you. Perhaps a leisurely lunch—on you!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Your words carry extra weight under today’s sentimental sync-up of social Mercury and compassionate Chiron in your third house of community and communication. Pay attention to what you say and especially to how you say it. What feels like harmless teasing might cut someone to the quick if they’re feeling vulnerable. Think about your own motivation for anything you express. You may be harboring some unconscious negativity. On the flip side, an unsolicited and sincere compliment or supportive comment could make somebody’s whole day!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday May 6
Watch out for an urge to splurge today as impulsive Mercury unites with “wounded healer” Chiron in your financial second house. You’ll be especially susceptible to markdowns and sales—but dig a little deeper. Is that really a price reduction, or could you find the same thing cheaper online? Actually, Pisces, a better question to ask is, Do you even NEED this thing? Or would the funds be better earmarked for a purchase that you’ll cherish for years, not just a season?
