Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
When was the last time you had a good old-fashioned cleansing cry, Ram? Keep the tissues at the ready this weekend as the moon moves through Cancer, your sensitive (and sentimental) fourth house. Your emotions are definitely running the gamut, flipping from tender to melancholy in no time flat. The key is to not suppress them since that will only leave you stuck with those feelings. If you get moody or want to wallow for a spell, that’s healthy, as long as you eventually find your way off the roller coaster. Grab your journal or call up a loved one to help you process. Mother’s Day couldn’t be more perfectly timed for you as the moon keeps rolling through your maternal fourth house on Sunday. Whether you’re feting the woman who raised you or enjoying your role as the star of the celebrations, you’re bound to be tearing up today. Dial up the nostalgia and review old photos or mementos from times you’ve shared. Instead of another basic brunch, revisit a place of magic from your shared past. Can’t meet up with your mom? Gathering with your favorite ladies can also make Sunday a red-letter day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
You’re in “idea mode” all weekend as the moon rolls through Cancer and your ingenious third house. With your mind this agile, you need a brainstorming buddy—or, at the very least, a sounding board. If you’re trying to get others on board with your plans, the effort is bound to go exceptionally well. You have an innate sense of the storyline that will grab your audience’s attention. Ditto for any writing projects you have in the works. Your connection to both your head and heart is a formidable one-two punch. Work it, Taurus! Levity abounds on Sunday, Mother’s Day, as the moon continues to flutter through your playful and fun-loving third house. Take the important mothers in your life on a little road trip or maybe an activity date. A few hours of antiquing or brunch at a quaint little B&B might be the perfect way to celebrate. With your curiosity piqued, you could enroll in a one-day workshop, like DIY furniture restoration or a French cooking class.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Secure the perimeter! You could be in a pragmatic mood this weekend as the moon in Cancer, your stability-loving second house, turns your attention to the essentials. Set your priorities on Saturday, focusing on your bottom line. Perhaps you create a new strategy for paying your bills and budgeting. Or maybe you open up to a new income stream that really grounds you. Daily habits are also up for review: Is it time to start taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or riding your bike instead of the train? Celebrating Mother’s Day this Sunday? With the moon perfectly positioned in maternal Cancer and your practical second house, you could take charge of the celebrations with the skill of a professional entertainment director. That said, you may have to pitch in with some last-minute planning. Make sure that every glass is filled and that dessert gets picked up from the bakery. Are you the mom-of-honor? Ditch any lavish plans that require too much effort, like cooking and cleaning. Pick up some gourmet goodies for a picnic in the park or put your name on the list for brunch at that fancy bistro. You can get a little shopping in while you wait for your table!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Whether or not you’re a mom, this weekend’s directive remains clear: Do YOU, Crab. The moon lounges in Cancer through Sunday, activating your first house of self and identity. You have planetary permission to put yourself first, second AND third. In fact, your swell of confidence will give you more than a green light—it will help you act on your own behalf, too. As a sensitive soul, you’re often found taking care of the needy types or anyone who might need your trademark TLC. But no replying to SOS calls unless there’s a true emergency (and doesn’t require self-sacrifice). Close the validation station and focus on the opinion that matters most: your own! It’s going to be hard to tear yourself away from a passion project, but try not to check out during Mother’s Day celebrations. Devote at least a couple hours to feting the matriarchs in your life, or, if you’re the guest of honor, bask in all the love and appreciation coming your way.

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Shout, shout, let it all out? This weekend, you might realize that buried or bottled emotions need your attention, thanks to the moon’s spin through Cancer and your twelfth house of healing and the subconscious. You could be moody, tired or just in need of catharsis. When you’re not recharging, focus on tying up loose ends since the twelfth house rules closure. If you can, spend some time in a restorative yoga class or just treating your bedroom like it’s Studio 54. A solo dance party to your favorite playlist could be just the Rx you need. This might also mean detouring Mother’s Day plans to the nearest day spa. Massages, steam rooms, mani-pedis: Anything that helps you relax and unwind will be beneficial. Or escape with the arts! Pick up a pair of tickets to a matinee performance or meet for a museum date. Not in family mode? Treat Sunday like a one-day retreat. Cancel plans with everyone and lounge to your heart’s content!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Virgo geniuses are on the loose this weekend, thanks to the moon in Cancer and your forward-looking eleventh house. If you’re working on a team project, keep your eyes on the future prize and away from petty concerns (i.e., the stuff that won’t even matter in two years). Being around other people who “think big” really inspires your high-vibe visions. Technology-based projects are also favored, so get to work on a digital project or video that could go viral. Connections, virtual and otherwise, are your currency now. On Sunday, more close alliances will be the merrier as the moon keeps rolling through Cancer and your laid-back, communal eleventh house. If everyone in the group is up for it, you might even merge your Mother’s Day celebrations with another family’s. (More hands could also mean LESS cooking and cleaning: a win-win.) Celebrate the spirit of caretaking in all its forms. A homemade meal could be an instant bonding agent for the Virgo squad—especially if you work in a recipe from one of your family’s matriarchs.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Play by the books this weekend as the Cancer moon rises into your tenth house of status, authority and reputation. To climb the ladder socially or careerwise, your best bet is to take a traditional route. Tap a mentor for time-tested wisdom. Map out a solid plan so that you can feel secure knowing you’ve got your bases covered. Be shrewd about connections—it’s okay to be a little strategic about who you spend time with. As the saying goes, your network creates your net worth. Whatever you do, don’t cut corners. Integrity is your best calling card. Sunday could find you at the center of all Mother’s Day activities. Whether you’re feting your own mama, friends who are moms or yourself, your entertainment director superpowers are back. Keep things from ballooning out of proportion or into chaos, perhaps by devising a strategic seating chart of relatives for the brunch table.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Fly like an eagle, Scorpio. Your soul wants to soar this weekend, thanks to the Cancer moon activating your ninth house of wanderlust. Peruse inspiring travel feeds as you sip your morning coffee. Even if it’s “just for inspiration,” start researching thought-provoking workshops and retreats that are farther from home than a quick 10-minute drive. If you have aspirations to publish, put some time into organizing your work or finding a class that will create the structure you need to turn your life stories into a searing memoir. Sunday is Mother’s Day, and if you haven’t nailed down solid plans, how about taking the fiesta on the road? If all the farm-to-table restaurants or buzzed-about city bistros are booked, opt for a hike and picnic instead. Warning: With the moon dousing everyone with truth serum, you may be tempted to broach a touchy topic. Don’t do it! The only thing you should be transparent about is how much you truly adore all the mamas in your midst!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
How would it feel to be a money magnet, Sagittarius? While the moon travels through Cancer and your eighth house of metaphysical energy and synchronicity all weekend, you could draw in all the resources you need, possibly in uncanny ways. Have some fun with your manifesting powers. Ask the universe for a miracle or to show you that you are well taken care of. The “reply” might come in an unexpected form, like a gratis lunch or a lead on funding. Say thank you and savor the abundance: There’s plenty more where that came from. With your intimate eighth house activated, skip the madding Mother’s Day crowds and organize a home celebration. Dashing to the bakery to pick up croissants, coffee and fruit is a lot less stressful than shouting over families in a busy restaurant. Try to get in some one-on-one time with your mom or a favorite lady in your life before the day is through. Then you can talk about the things you REALLY want to discuss, which can be cathartic for both of you.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Let’s make it a double! This weekend, the moon in Cancer lights up your seventh house of one-on-one partnerships, prioritizing companionship. Make your significant other or a professional partner feel appreciated, perhaps with an unexpected handwritten note of gratitude or a bouquet of tulips, just because. Think about the other party, and consider that you may have taken on too much or given too little. To improve the situation, simply ask, “How can I understand you—and your needs—better?” Although Sunday is Mother’s Day, you’re craving one-on-one time. Meet up with your favorites (shhhh!) for a little QT before any larger celebrations. After you’ve handed off bouquets and enjoyed brunch, go hang with your bestie or the person who gives you butterflies. Keep plans flowing and spontaneous, and let the day unfold like a fairy tale.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
Take a deep breath, Aquarius. You could be extra-susceptible to stress this Saturday as the moon moves through Cancer and your dutiful, analytical sixth house. Swap the double espresso for a less-buzzy matcha latte, and don’t let worries or perfectionism get in the way of you actually being helpful to another person. You could spend so much time in your head fretting that you actually start to make yourself sick. Honor the strong link between your subconscious and your body by carving out time for relaxing, restorative yoga or another wellness activity. And yes, a blissful massage counts! You might have to be the happy helper on Sunday and offer yourself up for Mother’s Day duties, like picking up the cake for helping set up the celebration and wash dishes. If you’re the one being feted as the matriarch, you might struggle a bit to get in the royal role. Let yourself be queen for the day. It suits you, Aquarius! That said, no one can stop you from doing a little spring cleaning and organization between festivities. Try not to start too many projects all at once, though.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 11
The weekend brings a royal rush of passion your way as the moon flows through Cancer and your fifth house of glamour, love and self-expression. Translation: You’ve just gotta be YOU—fabulous you, that is. Fire up your creative side. Take a timeout to work on a novel-in-progress or some other artistic endeavor. Your heart is happy when you are engaged, giving fully of yourself and your unique talents. Romance gets a boost, too. Surprise your honey by making a bold boudoir move or send a racy missive to a love interest. Your confidence is irresistible. This Sunday, as you celebrate the mothers in your life (and yourself if you’re a mom), make it a day of luxury and pampering. Surely a mama would appreciate your company for side-by-side spa pedicures, shopping and an indulgent brunch. How about an inspirational walk through a museum or gallery exhibit? Whatever you decide to do, make sure it’s an elevated experience, filled with beauty, sensory stimulation and an opportunity to dress up in one of those spring outfits that’s begging for a seasonal debut.
