A little acknowledgment, please? Today’s quarter moon in Aquarius lights up your career zone and brings a more balanced approach to your professional pursuits. Industrious as you may be, you’re no “cog in the machine”! If you’ve been toiling away unrecognized, make sure your colleagues—especially the powers that be—are aware of your contributions and achievements. Polish your social media profiles with updated credentials. Sweet success is yours for the taking if you stake your claim.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday May 12
With an Aquarius quarter moon highlighting your purpose-driven ninth house, you may realize you’ve strayed from your soul’s true calling. But it’s not too late to correct course, Gemini. Examine where you’ve diverted from your path. What small steps can you take to realign? You don’t have to quit your day job or do anything that dramatic. You might enroll in a workshop or book a few coaching sessions to gain clarity. A simpler idea? Follow what excites you most. When work feels like play, that’s a good indication you’d enjoy doing it on a regular basis.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 12
Are your Spidey senses tingling, Crab? Today’s Aquarius quarter moon in your razor-sharp eighth house heightens your powers of perception. But these psychic moonbeams could also make you an energetic sponge. Shield your field so you don’t soak up other people’s emotions. Tip: Be selective about the company you keep and avoid the energy-zapping drama queens. Set boundaries with anyone who’s been taking advantage of your caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 12
Today’s quarter moon spotlights a partnership that’s tipped out of balance. Can you bring this union back to a place of equanimity? Pro tip: Continuing to “overfunction” or clean up others’ messes won’t show them the light. If anything, they’ll get lazier and you’ll become exhausted! It’s time to hold people accountable by insisting they pull their weight. But here’s the hard part: You’ll have to sit with YOUR anxiety and give them a chance to step up to the plate…before you rush in and do it for them!
Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 12
Cleanup on aisle one! Today’s balancing quarter moon in your orderly sixth house inspires you to tackle a detailed project.

This health-conscious moon motivates you to get back on the wellness wagon. Unroll your yoga mat and start today!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday May 12
Modesty isn’t always the best policy, Libra. Today’s quarter moon in your glamorous fifth house encourages you to be bolder in your self-expression. Don’t worry about rocking the boat or whether anyone will get your ideas. Just add some confident swagger to your delivery. When you show your true colors, it becomes easier for a like-minded squad to find you. Whether you’re making art, pitching a wild idea or confessing steamy desires to your S.O., a splash of authenticity will go a long way.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday May 12
With a quarter moon setting up camp in your domestic zone, home is where your heart lives today. Skip out of work as early as possible and cozy up at Chateau Scorpio. You might enjoy the company of a close friend who appreciates the concept of comfortable silence. An evening of TV and takeout could be just what the cosmos ordered. Be gentle if you’re still processing shifts from last week’s potent Scorpio lunar eclipse. Nurture yourself and use this time to integrate any revelations that arose. Inspired to make a fresh start? Follow these tech-friendly moonbeams to do some relevant online research.

Running on empty? Today’s Aquarius quarter moon lands in your restful twelfth house and gives you the grace to admit that you need a timeout. Last week’s Scorpio full moon and lunar eclipse illuminated some exciting new ideas, but before you set any new plans in motion, give them a moment to marinate. And while you may be craving company, steer clear of needy people who lure you into their chaos under the guise of seeking your advice. Power down your devices and tune in to yourself. Inspired answers will come once you’ve quieted your mind.
