Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 3
With the moon in Leo and your career sector both Saturday and Sunday, it’s not feeling all that weekend-y around here. Even if you indulge your social side, your mind is likely to be fixated on your goals. This is especially true on Saturday, when la luna connects with motivated Mars. You might not be able to avoid the pressure of a lingering deadline, so put in a few hours if that alleviates the tension (or stokes your ambition!). On Sunday, the Leo quarter moon helps you consider options for taking a more balanced work-life approach. With transformational Pluto (your ruler) turning retrograde until October 13 in your domestic sector, you may have a few insights here.

With the moon in Leo and your worldly ninth house all weekend, your lens on life is at the widest possible setting. Are you jonesing for a getaway, Archer?

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 3
Intensity alert! The moon is in Leo and your eighth house of intimacy and investments all weekend. You may be craving privacy, or you could be preoccupied with a certain topic to the point of obsession! On Saturday, a relationship that’s already simmering could reach the boiling point today as la luna embraces lusty Mars in your erotic eighth house. If this brewing attraction gets any hotter, you could have a hard time maintaining your usual calm, cool and collected persona. Now might be the time to summon the courage and go for it. On Sunday, the Leo quarter moon puts you on soul patrol. Nothing light and fluffy for you today, thanks. It’s bottomless, bonding connections that you’re seeking. Swim on over to the deeper end of the pool. You could meet a mate (or reconnect with an existing partner) at an enlightening activity: yoga, meditation circles, spiritual discussion groups. Don’t underestimate the power of an unspoken connection. Vibe with each other through comfortable silence, dance or a shared love of music. Also on Sunday, deep-diving Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, reversing through your second house of money and self-worth until October 13.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday May 3
Don’t bother acting like you don’t care this weekend, Aquarius. With the moon in Leo and your partnership sector both days, other people will be able to read you like a large-print book. This is especially true on Saturday, when la luna unites with impassioned Mars. The smallest seedling of emotions might suddenly burst into bloom, which could make for an exciting encounter! Enjoy the ride as long as it lasts, but understand that it could be a flash in the pan OR a sign of things to come…and only time will tell. Sunday’s balancing quarter moon in Leo delivers a reality check, or at least, a gentle reminder that lusty chemistry isn’t the only indicator of a great future together. (It’s an important one though, to be sure!) Look at where the give-and-take in your most important alliances could use a tune-up. Are you getting enough personal space, on that note? Deep-diving Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius this Sunday, backing through your first house of identity and self-sovereignty until October 13. If you’ve been mired in people-pleasing, or suppressing your own needs because you don’t want to say “no” (so uncomfortable!), there’s work to do. Pluto reminds you that your own needs are as important as everyone else’s—and the long-term erosion of your relationships is the price you’ll pay for not asserting your boundaries.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 3
Wellness weekend, anyone? With the moon in Leo and your healthy, organized sixth house both days, you’re ready to tackle your to-do list with gusto. This motivation is especially strong on Saturday, as la luna and courageous Mars unite, giving you a burst of can-do energy. Tackle that closet cleanout or garden project. But please Pisces, break it into steps, because you’re liable to overestimate your capacity, turning the sizzle to a fizzle. On Sunday, the balancing Leo quarter moon reminds you that stress and adrenaline are NOT the “clean fuel” your body needs. If you’ve been driven by FOMO, anxiety or unreasonable deadlines, it’s time to make a change. Maybe your lifestyle could be scaled back here and there, or you just need to have a few more honest conversations. Underneath it all could be some ancient trauma or a very old belief that’s keeping you on the hamster wheel. With deep-diving Pluto going retrograde on Sunday through your subconscious twelfth house, you have until October 13 to really root out what’s causing you to feel so insecure. Sacrificing your health and happiness doesn’t have to be your strategy anymore. Reach out for support to rewire your brain and repattern your habits. It won’t happen overnight, but with the right protocols and expert guidance, you can free yourself from this for once and for all!
