The Moon is in Cancer until Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 7:11 PM EDT.

**NOTE -- The 'Quickie Daily Horoscope' is tailored to each Sun Sign, while the 'Extended Daily Horoscope' is just this page and is intended for all 12 Sun Signs to further and deepen your astrological study.

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury trine's Saturn and there are four (4) aspects to the Cancer Moon. Keep in mind that the Moon is Cancer's natural ruling planet. Actually, the Moon is not really a planet at all. The Moon is a satellite because it orbits the Earth. A satellite (just like a machine in space) is anything that orbits around a larger object. A natural satellite is any celestial body in space that orbits around a larger body. So yep, the Earth is a satellite of the Sun. The Moon is also a luminary, which means it provides artificial light. The Moon 'does not' light up itself. The Moon lights up because its surface reflects light from the Sun. In fact, the Moon will only reflect between 3 and 12 percent of the Sunlight that hits it. So just for the sake of simplistic Astrology, we will call the Moon a planet (but it's not really).

Mercury Trine Saturn gives us the mental organization we need to get the job complete, take a test or recall information quickly. This aspect has time management written all over it. It will even take into account 'travel time' since Mercury rules transportation and local travel within one's own locale, state or country. How many times have you said you would be somewhere at a certain place and time, but you forgot to account for 'travel time'?

This aspect also makes it easier to learn something NEW! This would be a great day to start a training program or learn something that would normally be over-whelming or challenging. What a great day to take a Math or Science final. This aspect does not not leave a lot of room for error, which means it's a great day to take a test or be tested. Since Mercury rules dexterity and the hands, then any profession that uses their hands would benefit from this aspect. This includes surgeons, writers, massage therapists, bloggers, etc. This is an absolute fabulous aspect for memory recall. Hmmmmmm, let me check my mental files.

The four (4) lunar aspects will be spread over the entire day. Keep in mind that the Moon is already emotional, but when it is in the sign of its natural ruling Sun Sign, then it is super-dooper emotional, moody, over-sensitive and will take everything very personal. You could be talking about yourself or someone else and the person you are talking to might say, "I don't do that!" Well, you didn't say they did, you were talking about yourself or someone else, but this Cancer Moon will take anything and everything as an insinuation. It 'can be' absolutely maddening talking to someone who is already moody and emotional during this Cancer Moon. Aside from the second lunar aspect opposing Saturn at 7:34 AM EDT and causing daddy and authority figure issues, this can be a rather wonderful emotional day as the Mercury Trine Saturn aspect helps us keep our wits about ourselves.
